PR>Subject: 08/14/96 Pittsburgh Show


PR>The show was good except my usual complaints.....  A) She ruins Precious
PR>Things with her vocal 'gymnastics'.  It was better on the UTP tour.  B)Does
PR>she have to play MAA Gun _every_ show?  She plays a varied set from show to
PR>show to 'keep it fresh' and I suppose to keep her sanity, too.  But in every
PR>show there it is, MAA Gun.  Sure, the song has it's 'message', but give it a
PR>rest!  It makes her seem like such a martyr.  She doesn't play her
PR>'signature' songs everynight, which is very good.  MAA Gun is becoming tired
PR> After seeing her several times, It's like, "She could be playing song
PR>'xxxxx' here.  I've heard this before."

PR>It's not like she's making the shows any longer.  Last tour she was playing
PR>90-100mins, this tour she's playing 90-100mins.  I think she should get with
PR>it and give us more for our money.  She has 3 albums an EP, and a lot of
PR>b-sides.  Melissa Etheridge, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen play for OVER 
PR>hours each show.  At least Tori can try to approach the 2 hour mark.  I
PR>wouldn't image anyone complaining about her playing two hours instead of 90
PR>mins.

I sort of agree with you.  I have seen her 5 times so far.  I found
myself completely bored with her when I saw her at the Jones Beach, LI,
NY show recently.  I am tired of her doing MAAG but I feel maybe it's
like a religious thing for her to do for her fans and for herself.  And
I feel that she's just becoming too predictable and stagged during her
shows.  The little cornflake girl dance didn't really amuse me because
I saw a half way dance at the May NYC shows already.  I don't like that
the encores are so obvious that they don't seem to be encores and no
one is really clapping for her to go back on stage.  Maybe I am just
Tori out and need a break from her. :(
