That's the way to start your day: a hot cup of joe and Tom Waits Live in Atlanta, 2008. I got a free concert from his "Glitter and Doom" Tour at tomwaits.com (courtesy of NPR) and have been listening to it in chunks before I go to work in the mornings. I have several concert bootlegs (as well as every single album), and the thing that amazes me about Tom Waits is that he never plays a song the same way twice. You know how sometimes you'll hear a live version of a song by a band you enjoy, and it's like "Yeah, that was okay, but I think the studio version is better." Well, with Tom Waits, no matter how he plays it, it's friggin' awesome.
Go listen to Tom Waits RIGHT NOW.
