Background
The tour was announced at a performance art press conference on May 5, 2008.
Tickets
Tickets for Waits' summer shows were limited to two per person but, in an effort to beat ticket touts, a valid I.D.

Any concert-goer who did not have a valid I.D. or was found to be in possession of a ticket that had been resold was not allowed in and did not get a refund.[1]
Band
As of July 22 Tom Waits band consisted of the following:
- Vincent Henry – woodwinds
- Casey Waits – drums
- Omar Torrez – guitar/banjo
- Patrick Warren – keyboard
- Seth Ford-Young – bass
- Sullivan Waits – clarinet/conga
