Oh oh oh! I just adored Tori on MTV Live today! Were there any NY's in the crowd outside of MTV studios? You guys looked great! I thought Tori was radiant as always. I didnt really think the interview was very good, it seemed as though Carson was just trying to move on with things when tori was still talking. I.e. her ice cream list and "Tori and the Girls night out" But I absolutely loved TORI and the \new VJ Jesse.!!! They just clicked and she is sooo sweet and Jesse is so lucky! And you really know Tori loves her fans when she asks Jesse to come say hi while Carson is still trying to figure out what happened! THE DUET WAS GREAT, if you guys missed it, try to grab a recording.. Overall, it was good to see Tori on MTV. that's always new! =D TTYL, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 00:09:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Amy D Hayes Subject: Re: The Mereman's Spark Also, she has been quoted in the "Images and Insights" book saying "I do sound like the little meremaid on acid."

I hope everyone is enjoying the Tori shows. Well, I have no complaints on her performance...but I was extremely upset that I could barely see her, or even feel like I was at her concert. Unfortunately, the earliest I could get out of work was 3. By the time I got to the show it was 6. There was a line going around the block by that time. I couldn't believe it! I had to stand in line for over 4 hours just to buy the tickets , then I had to be stuck in another line. Well, I opted not to wait in another line. So, I ended up all the way in the back, barely being able to see. It was really frustrating and annoying. I felt more like I was at a bar with Tori music in the background. I feel like I missed most of the show...it made me depressed most of the day! I even feel like traveling to another town and try to see another show, just to see if I have better luck. Well, I'm lucking forward to the summer tour. Does anybody know any details on the summer tour? Good luck to everyone else!

Tori was just on the Chart Show - the best interview I've seen them do :- I'll do some vid-captures later, and sent them to The Dent or anywhere else that wants 'em. - -- on "Spark" "I don't know about making pop videos. I know about you know, making little films. That's what I try to do. What it was really about is this woman is in a situation and you find out later she was in the trunk of this car, and miraculously this car accident saves her life. To have your hands tied behind your back and be blindfolded to have that experience and really have to get from one end of Dartmoor to the other it was... you hear better, your instincts get better.." on "PW (Van Helden Mix)" "When you agree to let somebody do a dance remix of your work, if you are not totally controlled by the record company, which I am not, they have to get permission to get my tapes. And I was very happy to give my tapes to Van Helden. And when I heard it, we were having a marguerita on the bus, and I'm telling you, I did this... and you know how you do bus-surfing? We were in the mid-west, and I was like, 'Honey! This is fun!'" on "Talula" Yeah, I do write about stuff I'm going through, but I think you've got to find a giggle somewhere in stuff that would scare the poop outta ya. That's what fascinates me. on her videos "The way I look at videos is if you're going to make one, make something with integrity and that's different for different people." We just seem to make videos sometimes where I get hoisted in mid-air and the chain's about ready to break and you have this thing, this harness and you know what it would be like to have a chastity belt on, and they've stolen the key, and your suspended up there for 20 minutes and all you want is some french-fries, I don't know how I get into those situations, but that was Cornflake Girl. - --- Cheers Mike ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 10:45:52 -0500 From: lilchibi@flash.net Subject: LIVE MP3s Hi guys! Tori has been on the move, and www.tori.com is moving really fast for me. I can't keep up with all the new stuff they post up each day. And i was wondering if anyone had been able to save, copy, make mp3s of the live songs they posted? Because lately I have been really busy, but because I can't make it to any shows I am dying to hear these songs. So if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it! Or, if by anychance you managed to save any video from the shows, that would be great too! And for those of you who made it and got a recording!!!! POST IT! all of us other toriphiles wanna hear!!!

He's always liked Tori, and it's a good review. Too bad there are some song titles gotten wrong. Odd. If you can scare up a printed copy of the paper, you'll have a B&W concert photo taken by a Post photographer, too. (Close-up portrait.) Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ___________________________________________________________________ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1998-04/25/093l-042598-idx.html Tori Amos: Live, With a Band, at Last By Richard Harrington Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, April 25, 1998; Page C02 Tori Amos's Wednesday night concert at the 9:30 club unveiled and then emphasized the new: Nine of the 16 songs were from Amos's upcoming "From the Choirgirl Hotel" album (due May 5) and all but two of the songs featured Amos playing piano -- both acoustic and electric -- with a three-piece band. It's the first time Amos has performed live with a band, though guitarist Steve Caton toured with her behind the "Boys for Pele" album. The latest additions are bassist Jon Evans and, most notably, drummer Matt Chamberlain; they provided a rhythmic vitality that kicked some of the older songs -- notably "Tear in Your Hand," "The Waitress," "Putting the Damage On" and "God" -- to a higher level of sonic subtext to match already emotionally roiling lyrics. Wednesday's club show was only the third live date for the ensemble -- they're preparing for a European tour and a stateside tour of larger venues this summer -- and there were still a few rough spots: at times, as on "Liiee" and "Cruel," Chamberlain's percussive patterns were so tautly mechanical that they felt like the work of a drum machine rather than a human being. And Amos's piano work is so naturally orchestral -- two decades of solo performance have given her both a rare dynamism and a gift for impressionistic coloring -- that she's not always smoothly integrated into the mix. The opening song, "Black Dove (January)," had a familiarly majestic sweep, alternating ruminative verse and soaring chorus. Amos performed it with full frontal pianism, one hand on the acoustic piano, the other on the electric. Several other times -- including on her current single "Spark" -- Amos moved between pianos, seeking the timbre that best underpinned her lyrics. But while Amos may be exploring different textures, she's clearly not compromising the emotional directness or melodic grace that mark her best songs. "Precious Things" appropriated an almost ritualistic rhythm as Amos ran a primal obstacle course through fear, frustration and fury, eventually finding release; a similar urgent anger coiled through an edgy "Waitress," "Horses," a martially discordant "Playboy Mommy" and the set-closing "God," the last made even more terse and elastic with the band. Of the new songs, only the Alanis Morissette-ish "She's Not Your Cocaine" felt out of place (isn't it ironic -- Amos was a major influence on Morissette). The new band was able to provide supple coloration to such tracks "Liquid Diamonds," "Putting the Damage On" and the beautifully spare "Jackie's Strength," a melancholy exploration of the past notable for its compassion. Throughout the night, the full house seemed remarkably pre-tuned to the new material, a development wholly attributable to the Internet, where Amos is a goddess second to none with almost 4,000 Web sites. Amos did perform two songs in the solo acoustic setting that helped build that loyal (some might say obsessive) fan base: "Upside Down," crafted as a series of internal monologues, captured the topsy-turvy turmoil of spiritual independence and romantic attachment, and the at-first chilly but ultimately liberating "Icicle." Despite the occasional rough edges, Amos hasn't lost her fundamental gift for communication; the band simply adds a new authority to her missives.

Contributing Editor Jon Vena reports: Five songs into her performance at Irving Plaza in New York City on Thursday night, Tori Amos made a surprising revelation: She's popping steroids. "I lost my voice, and my doctors gave me 'roids," the plainly clothed Amos whispered to the crowd, as she sat between her trademark baby grand piano and a synthesizer. "And I don't know how those weight lifters do it, because I'm ... I'm craving things!" Even then, not nearly halfway into her set, the crowd had already made one thing clear: They were craving Tori. Requests echoed from the balconies and the back bar, even from the industry-thick VIP section. Old Tori, new Tori, rare Tori. "I don't know how those weight lifters do it, because I'm ... I'm craving things!" -- Tori Amos What the crowd got, much to their delight, was a delicate balance of Tori -- a set heavy on material from her upcoming from the choirgirl hotel album (May 5), plus staples from her first two albums, Little Earthquakes and Under The Pink. One thing became quite apparent during the show: The new Tori Amos has, in a sense, returned to her roots. Gone were the dance and soul elements present on 1996's Boys For Pele. In fact, only one song from that album, "Putting The Damage On," made the evening's set. Instead, through new material and select cuts from her catalog, Amos made it clear that she is currently all about the raw intensity and grrrl power that made her the anti-rock star of the early 1990s. For this short promotional tour (which hit Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Washington, D.C., earlier this week, and continues with shows in Boston, Chicago and then the West Coast next week) and an extended leg this summer, Amos boasts a live band (guitarist Steve Kailen, bassist John Evans and drummer Matt Chamberlain) -- something new for fans used to seeing her perform solo at a single baby grand. On a crowded stage in a crowded room, Amos was reborn, and with her new material and the sound of older songs such as "Icicle" freshened up by the backup band, there's a new strength behind alt.rock's pre-Lilith princess. The eerie opening to choirgirl's first track, "black-dove (january)," was a perfect beginning for the night's performance. She displayed her striking vocal range in a song that echoes and crescendos. On "Precious Things," from Little Earthquakes, the backup band stretched the song's resounding chorus into a thunderstorm of sound, lit by throbbing lights. On a few more new songs, "Northern Lad," "Cruel" and choirgirl's first single, "Spark," Amos displayed a raw intensity that I hadn't experienced since she debuted with Little Earthquakes eight years ago. "Northern Lad," with an a cappella opening and lines such as "It's so fucking cold," is strong, as is "Cruel," which bursts with a grungy intensity reminiscent of "Precious Things" touched with the lucidity of "Bells For Her," from 1994's Under The Pink. For many members of the crowd that packed Irving Plaza (the 700-odd tickets to the show had been bought up in just a few minutes when they went on sale three weeks ago), Amos' performance was an emotional experience. Composed mostly of young women and younger girls, the audience reacted to Amos' every move -- screeching loudly as she sipped from a paper cup, or synchronizing their bellows of "I love you!" to land during pauses in Amos' between-song banter. As Amos told her own stories through her songwriting, audience members reminisced as well, with giggled tales of "I fucked to this album so much in college." Amos looked to the past for the powerful, concluding two-song encore of "God" and "Silent All These Years." One fan, Megan Genneo of White Plains, N.Y., who cried during "Icicle," said that song evoked memories of her late mother. "I listened to Under The Pink when my mother was dying," she said. "I think the only thing that kept me sane was listening to [Amos]. Some days, I'll listen to her, and I'll smile. But right here, right now -- she's up there, and ... it's so emotional."

This doesn't mean that I won't be going to her concert, its just that during 96 I didn't haven't have the oppurtunity to go the Dew Drop Inn concerts so I realy wanted to hear at least some of those songs live when she comes to town in 98, not just one, thus a certain reason in the future why I might become really pissed-off and feel cheated.

Okay, I know the set list has been posted so I won't get into that(I'm not good at that anyway) but I'll tell a little about the show. First, this was my first tori show so i was a tad bit excited. I got there at 4:30, a little late cause I was at a spring fling at my college watching Maceo Parker. Anyway, so we were about 500th in line, but when we got in (at around 5:30) we got a great spot, about 30 feet away. I could see her the whole show. David Poe was fine, his songs weren't great but he was a good performer. One of his strings broke on his "no no no" song so he had to get a new guitar. after him, we waited about 45 minutes for tori, who came on about 8. i loved the new stuff. "cruel" seemed to grate a lot but it could have been the nature of the setup. my favorites were "iiieee" and "jackie's strength". "waitress", the new "horses", and "god" all sounded awesome with the band. during her secret time, she played "baker baker", saying she might forget the words. i later found out at the meet and greet that she had the lyrics written on her hands. at some point, she mentioned that we had a "line president:" the guy who numbered us at the ticket office, brian. someone pointed him out for her and she thanked him or something. at the moment, i can't remember all of the things she mentioned but i'm sure someone else will pick it up. at the end, when she was meant to play "angie" she played "merman." she introduced it by saying she wasn't supposed to play it but she felt like it. it can't even describe how much i was affected by it. after the show, i managed to get in the front for the meet and greet. i met matt chamberlain and caton and got their autographs. when tori came out, i freaked. remember, this was my first concert. when she finally came to me, i got her autograph and thanked her for playing merman. she looked at me and said something like "you're so great for saying that." then, i tried to let my friend get in but i was pulled back, told that i had to stay so people wouldn't surge in to take the open space. tori thanked me for staying and then kissed me on the cheek! The next person was underage and didn't see her perform , so tori apologized and promised her that the larger tour this summer wouldn't be 18+ anywhere. then she said that these club tours are only rehearsals anyway. i said something like, "great rehearsals" and tori gave me this great look, kind of like she was saying "you devil, you" or something. it was amazing. for my first tori concert, i had the greatest time in my life. i can't wait to go to more. meeting her was also amazing. i love tori! marco http://www.tufts.edu/~mcarbone ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #151 *************************************
