The "Glitter and Doom" is fading as Tom Waits' recent tour comes to a close in Edinburgh and Dublin this week, but any fan with an internet connection can capture the magic for keeps thanks to NPR Music.

The public radio service's "Live in Concert" series recorded Waits' full two-and-a-half hour performance at Atlanta's Fox Theatre on July 5 and will offer it up as both a stream and podcast tomorrow, July 29. Included in the set are "songs [Waits] has never played outside a studio," according to a press release. "Hoist that Rag", "Anywhere I Lay My Head", "All the World Is Green", and "Hold On" all make appearances in the set list.

07-30 Dublin, Ireland - The Ratcellar at Phoenix Park
07-31 Dublin, Ireland - The Ratcellar at Phoenix Park
08-01 Dublin, Ireland - The Ratcellar at Phoenix Park
