I was thinking about getting there at 12 or 1, maybe a bit later, but I didn't know exactly where to go once I got there, even though I've been there many a time (the wonders of being dyslexic, eh?). I'm going there with 2 other people, which helps, that way I won't get completely lost : ). erm. Also, if anyone is going to be taping this particular show (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, someone please do as it would make me ever so happy), I wouldn't mind making a trade or whatever sort of thing one would do to procure a copy of this show. But please e-mail me privately (and ASAP) if you know anything at all about who's going and what to do...because I also have the general admission seats, and I'm not quite sure what they're doing about that. I should mention that this is my first Tori show and I've been waiting since forever (read: about 5 years) for this, so I'd appreciate any sort of advice because I am completely and utterly fritzed thinking about what exactly could go wrong to prevent me from going to the 4th tour in a row and all the stuff I need to plan and settle before I go. Please please please reply very very very soon please. Thank you very very very much. loov, leanan p.s.

Hey--it's their loss. Can't say I'm surprised to see some stupid site would have such a poll in the first place, though. Meanness and sarcasm seem to be sports these days, with folks whiling away the hours as they participate in them. Those people are missing a lot. The people in the majority in that poll are going to soon wake up to find at least one generation of musicians who cite Tori as one of their major influences. Even if Atlantic and eastwest turn their backs on her, I don't see how even *they* can stop this from coming. That may very well end up being her main musical legacy.

She played 18 songs!!! I just got back from the venue. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY DAY! IT'S KINDA LONG!!!! My day started when I left for the meet-and-greet and got there at around 11:45am. I was #12, which made me happy! This was my first Tori show, and so far it had been great - second row aisle seat, #12 at meet-and-greet, but little did I know it would be even MORE amazing!! The sweltering Houston sun along with the darned humidity made everyone miserable, and to top it off, Tori was running late! She finally arrived at 4:45pm. Since I was in the second row of the crowd, I knew I would be able to get something signed and maybe talk to her! She came up and I held out my "Winter" c.d. while someone asked her about playing "A Case of You." She said she wouldn't be able to since the band had not practiced it at all. I suddenly realized that I hadn't said anything, so I blurted out "Could you play Talula?" (Talula was the first Tori song I EVER heard, so it is really special to me) Then she actually replied! I didn't think she had heard me, but she said something like "I think we could do that, let me add it to my list here" and she wrote it on her hand!! I got some great pics of the meet-and-greet and had my "Winter" c.d. signed! Well, I then went to the mall to cool off until the show. When I arrived at the show I was kinda nervous because I wanted to take my camera inside, but you are not allowed to take them in. I put it in my pocket and nobody noticed. When I finally found my seat, I almost died! It was perfect! Just close enough without being on TOP of the stage, and by far not miles away from the stage. The Devlins came on at 8pm (they were ok, but their music kinda started putting me to sleep! Anyway, Tori came on at 9:15pm. I was so excited because I could see her clearly! Now, we were told by the annoying usher person RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, that Tori had requested no cameras. Well, I still got my pics because every time the usher turned away I took one! However, I don't know how good they will be considering my quickness! Here is the set list: Precious Things Spark Cornflake Girl Hotel Bells For Her iieee Playboy Mommy Icicle (solo) Leather (solo) Pretty Good Year Little Earthquakes Graveyard (Intro to Talula) Talula (I literally died when this came on! MY REQUEST!) The Waitress 1st Encore: She's Your Cocaine Raspberry Swirl 2nd Encore: Cruel Black-Dove (January) She seemed really into the 'drum & guitar' songs tonight, which was awesome. The only quiet songs were really the two solos!! I'm guessing this is because at the Austin show the night before, I had heard she sang a lot of slow and sad songs. The girl who was sitting next to me INSISTED Tori was looking directly at me when she was singing the first part of "Talula." She had binoculars, so I looked through them, and sure enough it looked as if she was looking DIRECTLY at me!!! I almost died AGAIN! I waved and she smiled!! ARRRGGGHHH!!! Well, that was my night that was WAY to good to be true for a FIRST Tori concert, but it actually happened, so I am in heaven right now!!! Sorry about the length, I just got back and I'm still high!!

If they're CD-Rs, or don't have a box with them, $90 is way too much. trade with somebody with a CD burner to get them.. - -- Jason Bilsky fuzzbox@world.std.com http://world.std.com/~fuzzbox "If every cigarette you smoke takes seven minutes off of your life, then every game of Dungeons and Dragons you play delays your loss of virginity by seven hours." -Marilyn Manson ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Oct 1998 14:07:48 PDT From: "shyrrl *" Subject: houston set list and review This had to have been one of the saddest shows I've seen of the three texas ones so far.. my friend and i had lawn seats, right near the speakers, and thankfully remembered our binoculars. We got there for the meet and greet before the show, but were #55 and 56 so we gave up all hope and sat to the side after handing my camera and letter to a few friends in front. She mentioned maybe playing Never Seen Blue, and asked if anyone had the Jackie's Strength single so she could go listen to it, so look forward to that sometime soon! During the sound check she played Muhammad my Friend, seeming to be having trouble with the "i got a place in the pope's rubber room" part.. but from the way the rest of the song sounded, I'm jealous of who gets to hear it for the first time live :) She also played iiee and spark during the soundcheck. When they let us in, we settled down in a pretty good lawn spot. Devlins were good, mentioned only having 2 more shows left with Tori. Tori came out finally, here's the set list: Precious Things - 19 sec girl Spark - - introduced band Cornflake Girl - - wet her hair down with the water bottle, wrapped the towel around her head and eyes as if hiding, intro to some song.. really can't remember.. part of it was "come in Houston" I think it's off of BfP Hotel Bells for Her - - ate the mystery thing, which turned out to be ginger cuz I asked her after the show Playboy Mommy - did a little fish dance Icicle (solo) Leather (solo) Pretty Good Year Little Earthquakes Graveyard Talula - she had a new intro to this, which I still didn't hear the Waitress - -----encore 1----- She's your Cocaine Raspberry Swirl - -----encore 2----- Cruel Black Dove (January) At the after show I asked her about what she was eating during the show, which is when she said ginger. Someone also asked if she was a natural redhead, and she replyed by saying no, "the grill doesn't match" which I thought was really cute cuz I am a natural redhead and she gave me this little smile when she said that Yours in Tori, Jennifer "I say the world is sick, you say tell me what that makes us darlin.

The recorder is very small so you can just carry it in your pocket. If they ask, tell them it's your wallet. If they want to see it (this happened once) just leave, go to your car and put it in your underwear; they never frisk. The microphones I have are very small and they mount on your glasses. They are a bit pricey ($450), but they sound excellent. You can find the mics at www.sonicstudios.com The guy who makes them is very good and his site has a lot of info on taping shows. The problem with a Minidisk is that it's hard to set the recording level and the disc are 74 minutes longs. Fortunately, Tori's performance is approximately 74 minutes and you can change discs before the encores. If you have the money, you can buy a portable DAT player that will give your 2 hours of recording.

Her often startling musical vision, no matter how brilliant, breathtaking or even occasionally strident, always takes a back seat to the words to her confessional, extraordinarily personal songs. Her latest, "from the choirgirl hotel," is no exception. But for the new polyrhythmic components, it's vintage Amos. Unfortunately, at Amos' Majestic Theater appearance Wednesday, even hardcore fans might have wavered if forced to testify to exactly what their hero was singing. The melodies were there, a snippet of a memorable line or two, but more often than not, those familiar with Amos' work likely had to rely on memory for the words. Newcomers most certainly wouldn't have had a clue. The lyrics were swallowed up by her loud band, but just as often obscured by Amos' sound engineer's insistence on drenching her voice in echo and reverb and electronically compressing Amos' angelic instrument until most of the dynamics had surrendered. And Amos must also share some responsibility. In her last appearance at the Majestic in October 1996 in which she performed solo with guitarist Steve Caton, she was plagued by similar intelligibility problems, so it can't just be the obligatory rock 'n' roll noise of a full band. Her writhing piano attack and Kate Bush-styled vocals remain the crux of her show, but the incorporation of such heavy beats seems to have squeezed out any room for many quieter numbers, including her signature "Me and a Gun," usually a concert highlight. This night, Amos was again backed by Caton, but with new road band members Matt Chamberlain on drums and Jon Evans on bass. Whereas Caton once relegated himself to supplying the atmospherics with his electric guitar and effects pedals, Wednesday he opted for an unusually piercing strumming approach. Less would have been more. Chamberlain pummeled his drum kit impressively. Evans kept things melodic on the low end. However, the overall effect was fatiguing. Amos' beloved Bosendorfer grand piano was forced to compete with the sonic overload and was equalized often to the point of shrillness. Amos' most delicate ivory passages were rendered impotent. There were triumphant moments. On "Iieee" Amos straddled her piano bench like a Shetland pony to finger both her acoustic piano and synthesizer. She emphasized her off-kilter vocal with dramatic, guttural panting. Her seductive, sexiest vibrato cut through on "Hotel." And the stars seemed to align, at least volume-wise, on "Little Earthquakes," where the rumble of the music and the deep resonance of Amos' piano actually enhanced the lyrics. For all of the incessant rhythm, the sold-out house was deathly still, except for applause. It was not until the second encore number, the irresistible new song "Raspberry Swirl," that a few brave female fans danced joyously. During the quiet "Northern Lad" fans finally rushed the stage.
