A request to all! The Leno show was great! With the exception of Tori having lost her voice a little bit she did a great job and had the audience pretty hyped up, and it was no surprise that Jay asked her over to chat a bit (considering the crowd was there to see her more than any other guest). I have a request to AYONE that may have any of the following info to PLEASE contact me ASAP as I am very interested in getting a hold of these for myself and to put up on the web site: Audio or Video of the performance from Leno Stills from the show And most importantly... I want to hear this bootleg she talked about when she performed as a wedding singer. Thanks everyone. Steve L.

The boot is right, and PT wasn't played in Zurich or Sheffield (U.K.) either... there are probably other Euro shows out there, where this song wasn't played.

On Tuesday, Amos arrived at the New Arena in Oakland with a synthesizer, elaborate light show, endless supply of theatrical smoke, mirrored disco balls, bassist, drummer-percussionist, guitarist and a bright green Teletubby. It was all a little overwhelming coming from an artist who made her mark through the intimacy of her albums and performances. Mixing elements of folk, pop and classical music, her unique stylings and confessional lyrics have won her a diverse, fiercely devoted following that has grown steadily over the course of four albums. The affection seems to be reciprocal, and Amos' concerts have always been exercises in performer-audience bonding, from be tween-song chatter to the oceans of bouquets flooding the stage. Such intimacy proved more difficult in the arena, where the upper balcony was all but empty and where the acoustics are better suited to louder, rowdier acts. But the larger venues -- Amos plays the Event Center in San Jose on Saturday -- and stage shows come at a time when the cult singer is expanding her range and style. Amos' latest and most adventurous album, `From the Choirgirl Hotel,'' shifted away from the spare acoustics of her earlier efforts, opting instead for a broad spectrum of rock- and dance-based arrangements. Though Tuesday's show drew the usual eclectic Amos audience -- gay girls; straight girls and their boys; bemused, middle-aged music aficionados; and posses of teen pixies sporting red hair and crudely constructed angel wings - -- Amos soon made it plain that she was breaking her performing mold. After a short opening set by pop- folk trio the Devlins, Amos strode onstage amid billowing towers of smoke and flashing lights, waved to the crowd and attacked the keyboards for a raucous rendition of `Precious Things.'' Throughout her 90-minute set, which included two encores, Amos replaced her usual writhing on the piano bench for more expansive theatrics, including abandoning her keyboard altogether to dance across the stage. Unfortunately, while the band and pyrotechnics allowed more freedom of movement, they also distracted from the show's real draw: Amos' remarkably versatile voice and musicianship. The driving rock beats transformed newer songs such as `iieee'' and `Cruel'' into compelling theater, but they buried softer numbers such as `Cornflake Girl,'' which hit its high note when Amos delivered an a cappella intro. The louder and larger scale of the show also distanced Amos from her audience. The only spontaneous interaction came when Amos introduced her `new friend,'' a green Teletubby doll wearing a monkish cowl. `This is Dipsy,'' Amos said, showing the audience the toy. `Dipsy has become a religious creature with all the markings of purity.'' An improvised song followed (`Dipsy, Dipsy/Totally pure!'') before the singer tossed Dipsy aside and launched into the honky-tonk number `Happy Phantom.'' In years past, Amos closed her shows alone in the spotlight, singing the haunting chronicle of a rape, `Me and a Gun,'' to a hushed house. This time around, she chose to exit with disco lights flashing and the crowd cheering wildly. Even at a time when she's defiantly pursuing her own radical muse, Amos can still leave her fans loving her. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:57:22 EDT From: ToriPyro@aol.com Subject: college tour (and my slickedness)...and Leno Thoughts have been going through my mind lately about these rumours on the "college tour" that Tori is supposedly planning after the November shows. Who exactly plans these shows? (Johnny Witherspoon?) I think it's rather odd that she comes to the New York City/Long Island area only once in this entire tour so far. I was told that there were definitely going to be more dates, but there doesn't even seem to be a whisper of anything concerning the New York area. I'm starting to worry... Also, I just have to share something with you all...I did some great persuasion today...I got out of a physics test, a history quiz, a spanish vocabulary quiz, and english composition essay and an assignment due, and having to face a deadline for rental forms (violin)....slickness, slickness! I'm home with a cold.....*sniff sniff* I was watching Jay Leno last nite, and I have to say that no outward emotion was sparked. That does not mean I did not enjoy the performance, but something disturbed me. Now, I have been one of the neutral people when it comes to the pregnancy rumours, but there was something I have to watch again. Did anyone notice that when tori first walked up to Jay after performing, her right side was facing the audience, and if you look at her belly, it seemed very round and full. I know Tori is not like many of the "anorexic" figures in the music industry (*cough* fiona *cough*), but, blatantly stated, she looked pregnant. I thought so after watching Jackie's Strength being performed on Conan and I just shrugged it off...but now I think it was somewhat more noticeable. Who knows...I may be completely wrong...but I'm beginning to lean towards the pregnancy side...if anyone wants to comment, please do (privately or publicly). loveintori, Vicki "i can never get out of here i don't want to just float in fear dead astronaut in space" - marilyn manson serial killers welcomed at: http://welcome.to/the.mind.of.vicki ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:57:22 EDT From: ToriPyro@aol.com Subject: college tour (and my slickedness)...and Leno Thoughts have been going through my mind lately about these rumours on the "college tour" that Tori is supposedly planning after the November shows.
