Tom Waits tour dates:
I think you are my GF in disguise, Corwood. She IMed the dates to me seconds before I read your post...
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Woohoo! Tom in the southeast! He hasn't played around here since... I don't know, he hasn't played here since I've been a fan - and that's a while.
I bet he sells out the Tabernacle in about 10 seconds.

The link above mentioned he was trying to hit places he hasn't been since the 70's. I've seen him twice in Boston (about 10 years apart), so I guess it's the southeast's and midwest's turn. He is without a doubt worth mortgaging the house to see in concert.

Which probably means no Seattle, I'm guessing.

The only time in my life I have gone to a scalper ticket agency to buy tickets was for one of his shows. It was worth every penny.

In memory of the Music II thread: A much deserved fugging of Chaka Khan.
Also, I checked ticketmaster today and Ohio and Atlanta Waits shows are going in the 65-72 dollar range. No word on Chicago, but those prices are lower than I expected.

That's not too far off from what I paid in Boston for the MULE VARIATIONS tour t /memfault years ago, so scarf those puppies up if you can!!!
Seriously - if I wasn't evented out at this point from multiple weddings, I'd try and get Chicago tickets and visit that city for the first time just to see Waits again.
Is there a new album due/out, or is this just delayed REAL GONE and/or playing the tunes for the masses?

The only thing I know of that's forthcoming is Orphans which is a big set of songs which didn't belong on other albums. I had the impression it might be box set sized. But like Neil Young and Prince, Tom's got a huge backlog of unreleased stuff.

This is not a bad thing, and he might be going for a "beat the bootleggers" move.
