Tom Waits last night (July 27) played the first of only two UK shows at the Edinbugh Playhouse.
Waits performing the European leg of the Glitter and Doom tour, with longtime partner Larry Taylor with Omar Torrez, Patrick Warren, Casey Waits and Vincent Henry all on hollers, mambos and rhumbas duties, performed a whopping 24 tracks.
Waits’ ever the entertainer also littered the show with plenty of jokes and silly annecdotes, including: “Y’know what annoys me? When people say, ‘My cell-phone is a camera, too.’ I mean – why can’t something just be what it is and be happy about it? Makes me want to say, ‘My sunglasses are also a tricycle.’ Yeah, but I never do.”
