I, too, was at the Detroit show. Was also there for Tom in Chicago. I'm a Chicago native but I have to say the Detroit crowd was much better and I think Waits took note as well. He was much more talkative and his entire band seemed like they were having a lot more fun. The show, overall, was far superior (although my seats were far inferior - fifth row center in Chicago, balcony front row in Detroit [still not a bad seat at all]) and I loved the singalong on Rains on Me. I can't wait for the Orphans boxed set and I hope that I get a chance to see Tom again some day.
