First of all, before Tori took the stage we saw an elderly man with a cane walking around and a crowd kept approaching him to talk to him and get autographs. We believe this was Tori's dad. As a matter of fact, we think her mom and other family members were there also. It was funny, because people kept approaching him for about 15-20 minutes non-stop!! He seemed to really enjoy it. Does anyone know if this really was her dad? Set list: Precious Things She's Your Cocaine Iiieee Honey- Tori said she hadn't played this in a while, which confused us because we know she's played it on this tour. Does anyone know the story here? Was it really Honey or are we mixed up? She said it was a request from the Meet and Greet. Cornflake Girl Little Earthquakes Black-Dove (Next 2 songs were in tribute to the college student in Wyoming who was killed.) Happy Phantom- acoustic- absolutely awesome to hear this!! Merman- acoustic- both were very touching. Sugar Mohammed My Friend Caught A Lite Sneeze Waitress - -First Encore- Hotel Rasperry Swirl - -Second Encore- Past The Mission- incredible!!!!!!!!! She told the crowd that they had never played this, so if they f-cked up that's why! ;-) Pandora's Box This is one of the best concerts we have seen! If we screwed up this list please let us know!

The meet and greet was the most hectic I have experienced so far... We got there early this time, about 11:00!!!!! And was still number 29!!!!!! By 3:30 the cute blonde had numbered all the way to 150 something! So we all lined up on the sidewalk in our numbers, nice and fashionly.. then when Steve Sanchez put up the barricades, HELL BROKE LOOSE. People cut through the bushes and the numbers went to hell.. I have a post following this once concerning numbering.. Tori came out a bit after 4:30, looking great. And the crowd got bad! I've never seen so much pushing and shoving and screaming at a M and G. It was ridiculous. I was two rows back from the front, Tori saw me in acknowledgment, and smiled, but I didn't get much more than that, which was okay, I have other shows, and I've had my time before... She was out for a while actually, probably about 15 minutes. The show was incredible! Set list as follows: Precious Things She's Your Cocaine **w/ the weird new bit in the bridge, very cool!** Iieee Honey Improv/Cornflake Girl Little Earthquakes **YEAH!!!** Black Dove Happy Phantom Merman **both secret songs dedicated to Matthew Sheppard, Tori said something like this "so I was outside today talking to a lot of people, and the same thing seemed to be on everybody's mind. so this song goes out to that boy in Wyoming," and it was unbelievable. I always thought that song was about something else. it was definitely the tear jerker of the evening** Sugar Improv/Muhhammed My Friend Graveyard Caught A Lite Sneeze **she changed some of the words to girls on my right side, girls on my left side, girls in the middle..." Waitress *************************** Hotel Raspberry Swirl *************************** Past The Mission **first time, YEAY!" Pandora's Aquarium **what a wonderful closer, don't' you all agree?" Yes, the night was incredible. Tonight I realized how much I want to be at the last show in MI, it's my birthday too! So I think Nithya and a bunch of us are going to try to get there for the last night.. WHOO HOO Joey ToriBoi@aol.com Joey's Skies ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 11:08:17 EDT From: "Sonya Harway" Subject: Baltimore review I won't post the set list b/c Shannon Blue already did it, but oh my god. That was such an awesome show; it was my first Tori show. I ran into a lot of little teeny boppers and Mansonites and everything, but people there were generally very nice. Except the people behind me who felt compelled to sing to every song. They played the Propellerheads CD before the show. I would never have known that was them, but my boyfriend told me. The opening band was pretty good. The lead singer/guitarist said "No, we're not the Devlins" and the drummer/backup vocalist/keyboardist kept saying "Hi, we're the Unbelievable Truth," just so everyone would remember. They were a four piece band (the two afore-mentioned and a bassist/backup vocalist and a lead guitarist/keyboardist) and they played 9 songs. They were all really young and pretty cute. The drummer came out onto the floor to talk to the audience during the set change. Then they played Massive Attack between Tori and the opener. So she comes out at about 9:30, wearing a black off the shoulder short sleeved shirt and black pants with black shoes and a long silver sequined apron thing. Really cute. She didn't talk much until between iieee and Honey, and she said how it was funny to be back, b/c she used to go there with her mom and watch hockey games (it's also a sports arena). Then we got CFG with a long a capella introduction. We got Happy Phantom and Merman during quiet time. She said she hadn't done HP for a long time, and of course, Merman was dedicated to the boy in Wyoming. Waitress was really good, and there was a little Blue Skies interjection ("you can go just where she's going" a few times). For the first encore, she came out in a K-mart vest, and we got Hotel (!!) and RS. RS was so funny, b/c Matt Chamberlain put on his glowing delly-bobbers and was banging on the drum base. It was so cool. My boyfriend and my sister loved it. Then during second encore we got Past the Mission ("Okay, we've never done this before so if we fuck it up...you know") and Pandora's Aquarium. Caton kept doing these cute little dances, and somebody told me he was drinking he same wine we were before the concert! The merchandise being sold were three short-sleeved shirts, one long sleeve one, one tank top, the neckalce, and the tour book. love, sonya =Thank you for your squirrel= ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 09:53:02 -0700 (PDT) From: "Stacy N.

Michael Cole" Subject: My First Tori Concert at Baltimore So last night was my first experience at a Tori concert. I won't post the setlist 'cause that's already been done but I just wanted to share some of my thoughts. Well, I was both amazed and a bit disapointed with the experience. Just want everyone to know that I was more than excited to go...being that this was the first time for me. Of course, my excitement only increased and chills were going down my spine when I realized how close we were to the stage! - on the floor, 7th row and right in the center! (and surprisingly these tix were rather easy to get...went to Ticketmaster in DC at 9:00 and there was only 1 other person there!). Anyway, just seeing Tori live was amazing! She's absolutely beautiful and to hear her voice! It was also great hearing some things that I'd never heard before such as Merman - her dedicating it to Matthew Shepard made all the more beautiful. I was also really excited to hear Ieeee and CALS - two of my favorite songs. The lighting was also really kewl - loved the way the spots framed her face against the rest of the band! But, there were a few things that disapointed me - only minor things but overall I still had a great time. I just thought the band was a bit overpowering sometimes though it was still interesting to hear her with the band. I enjoyed it the most when it was just Tori playing Happy Phantom and Merman...makes me wish I had the chance to see her on an earlier tour. I also wish I could've sat down - it just seems that Tori is much more theatrical...not the type of music you always dance too so I don't quite understand the need to all stand up and rush towards the stage. But, that's just a minor point and if you like standing...so be it. Well, that's about it...like I said, overall, a great time and I'm looking forward to seeing her in Poughkeepsie. Oh...one last thing..I thought the live versions of Pandora and Hotel were interesting. They're still not my favorites on the album but I'm starting to enjoy them more.... - --Michael ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 14:11:05 EDT From: "glytter grrl" Subject: tour's last show the michigan show on 12-3 is the last show? at the breslin? i'm going to that...... ~~becka ICQ#14314488 AOL IM - SwyngBaybe ~~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~ I'm so tired, let me go to Austin.------Jill Jack And I have to get to Texas---Tori Amos ~~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~ http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/3011 ~~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~ http://members.ismi.net/monger ~~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~*:*~~ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 14:54:14 -0400 From: Julie Newman & Jeannie Howle Subject: Re: Baltimore Review, 10-17-98 I think that bridge during She's Your Cocaine is from Black Sabboth. . a song called "Sweet Leaf" my bf was with me during the Dallas show and she did that; he's a pretty big BS fan (bleh) and he was just estatic when they played it.

Since we both live in Latin America, you may understand this is a huge event, for both her and her friends here in the "South"!! I want to send something for Tori, some kind of gift, but have been trying to decide for more than a month, to no avail. I decided to contact you, fellow, EWF, who have most probably given her gifts, and may know some more details about what she likes and doesn't. I was wondering what kind of music Tori listens to besides her own. I think a CD with music she cannot find in the rest of the world, but here, in Colombia, would be nice. What do you guys think? My other idea was a photo. I take photos, and have great shots, all taken here. So, please tell me what you think!! This is very hard, but I really don't want to let the opportunity pass without at least trying to send her something. Any response to this will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you, besos, Cynthia "before long...there will be short before short...there is nothing when there was nothing there was always the possibility of something becoming what it is" -Ani Di Franco ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 16:42:21 -0400 From: "Erika Johnson" Subject: Re: Where's Cooling? > >There are 2 halves to the Spark single (one is an import and harder to >find).

I saw a >copy of it today at our Circuit City, so check there, or Tower Records. >Cooling is a great song! Actually there are 2 imports and one (2) domestic releases of Spark. The US version has Spark, Purple People and Bachelorette (i beleive this is the maxi single, theres a also a single that only has Spark and Purple People.. i think) The UK single part one has Spark, Purple People, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and Bachelorette. The UK limited edition part two has Spark, Do It Again, and Cooling. lotsa online music stores carry all of these, and the UK ones run about 10 bucks, plus shipping and all that stuff.

Love, Elisabeth ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 17:49:13 -0400 From: Beth Coulter Subject: Bethey's Balti Review I decided to be extremely selfish and sleep before writing. I also had to plow thru' 190 emails. I left my home in SE PA around 11AM, gathering my bravery to make this long drive to Baltimore. I had door to door directions, but was still nervous. I arrived around 1:30 (who says I have a lead foot???). I knew that everyone would be across from the Day's Inn, so I found parking and went off the block and a half to where everyone had gathered. The sight of over 100 people surprised me and I was a bit taken aback. But I had determined that I wasn't doing the M&G, that I'll wait to see her in Bethlehem. I walked to the front of the line and met my first Contact, Keith from Lexington. You know the one, everyone was saying he was Mikewhy on the West Coast. Well, we cleared that up in Balti. I let everyone know Keith was not Mikewhy, I was! At least in Maryland. ;) All of a sudden I found 20 different people from the various lists (hi all, I'm not inserting your names cause I can't remember all of them and I don't want to leave anyone out). The looks of recognition when they figured out I was *Bethey* or *that Beth* was amazing. I handed Keither (an EwW, Ears with Wings *his invention*) my manila envelope containing "Crossing that Bridge" and some poetry and extras. I'd written large on the front exactly what it was so Tori would know without having to open it, and on the back had written "See you in Bethlehem". Keith was number 2 and had agreed to give it to her. I visited with *sooo* many people, getting hugs and giving. Putting faces to names. It was simply wonderful. About 3:30 word came out that Steve wanted the line to start becoming orderly, so I told everyone to line up by number, I was no threat cause I had no number. I counted all the way down to 80 something and after that told the folks there was no way they'd see her or anything and they might want to find a different vantage point. Then the bus pulled in, they secured the area and all hell almost broke loose. But folks sorta calmed down and didn't really rush the barricades. It was ridiculous. Folks hanging on the barriers with no chance to see her, all that could be seen was a see of arms holding things up to be signed. Lots of screaming and "We love you Tori" 's. I stood back and watched the crowd, grateful that at least she was recieveing my gift to her. When I saw it held up in the air, my heart caught, cause I knew she now had it. I was told by Mark (the wonderful guy who requested Merman as the tribute) that she said "Fabulous" when she read what it was. So now it was time to meet up for the Purple People gathering. A few of us went to my car (cause I had to show off "Topy: the Wonder Car") to drop things off and for me to grab my long sleeve "Tori-Net" shirt. It was a gift of a yellow T-shirt with a collage of Tori internet images and words, like the Dent logo and "EWF" on it. We met at the resturant at the Days Inn where we had the "Greenhouse" to ourselves. I will say that the food was great and need to mention another EwW, Anthony. He's that really great looking body builder guy you all have seen at concerts on the East Coast. He gets wings for lots of reasons, but this is for buying me lunch. It was wonderful to meet and talk and eat with people who all sort of knew of eachother, but not really, you know what I mean? There were probably 30 folks there and I enjoyed getting to know many of them. We all split up around 6 to go do our seperate things, I went back to Topy: The Wonder Car with several people to do drop-offs and pick ups (great location for parking, tho' not safe at all. Go figure). I finally met up (again) with another super EwW, Richard Handal, H.G. He has been the dearest friend to me for the longest time and has pretty much supported my Tori habit this tour. He had a ticket for me. It was a birthday gift since I couldn't afford to pay for it. Sec. 2, Row M, seat 7. Dead center. The Unbelievable Truth. They were unbelievable and that is the truth. The first two songs really rocked, but in my opinion, their 35 minute set was about 25 minutes too long. During intermission, I had the honor of meeting Dr. Amos for a few moments. He is a great old gentleman and really seemed to enjoy the teenage girls who gathered about him. He is now using a cane and seems to have trouble hearing at all, though he does hold his end of a conversation. *sidenote: I no longer have an age complex. Dr. Amos asked if I was out of school yet!* I made the mistake of needing a cigarette and being driven with the rest of the smokers to the side of the building where we were corraled in like cattle. It got to the point no one could enter or exit and I bugged the guards to move the barricades back, I was getting claustraphobia. I spoke with a couple in their 40's who were Tori virgins but had heard some stuff like Winter. They were expecting the girl and her piano. I corrected them and let them know it was a rock concert (except for secret time), so they should just sit back and absorb the music. Concert time. Everyone stood. I could see NOTHING!!!! Tori was a short distance away and I couldn't see past the big blond head in front of me. Once, she moved and I could see I had a perfect view, Tori was dead center in front of me. I felt depressed and frustrated during PT and Cocaine, but then determined to just pretend I was listening to the most awesome stereo and not worry about seeing her. The audience was so nuteral, not positive, not negitive, just *there*. It was difficult to get into the Tori zone, but I tried. During Iieee I "got my groove back" and I was rockin' out with her. But no "Band on the Run" in the middle, it sounded more like Black Sabbath. She finally talked and said how great it was to be there and told how her mom had reminded her that she had come to the arena when she was little for the games and she'd sit "way over there and say *little girl voice* 'kill 'em, kill 'em!". Then she played Honey and I was gone into the Torizone. One of my favorite b-sides live. But the entire audience wasn't there yet. The energy just wasn't massive enough to make it an amazing concert. Yeah, everyone on the floor was standing and shaking their bootie, but the folks in the bleachers were just sitting and listening. Tori started getting a little rageful in her voice with the Improv for Cornflake Girl, like she was trying to stir something up. That happened with Little Earthquakes to begin with. The whole room started energizing. She didn't have everyone, but she had most of us in her zone. The give and take was beginning. Folks backed out a little during Black Dove *which by the way she had a new line for. During one chorus of "by the woods, by the woods, by the woods" she inserted, "shoulda been a city, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods". Then Secret time began and Tori reeled everyone in with a rockin' angry Happy Phantom. I could hear a sneer in her voice at times, belaying the words. The Concert Was In The Zone!!! The energy sparkeled and crackled all over the room, dancing crazy, between the stage and the floor, from the floor to the seats and all the way back again. And at that time I moved down one seat and was able to SEE!!!! Despite this fact, when she began to play Merman, I had to sit. I rocked myself with this lullabye that was dedicated to "a sweet boy in Wyoming". Tears were in my eyes, my throat locked up. It was so beautiful and different in a little way. The ending wasn't the same. But the meaning, the hurt and longing filled me. *sigh* Then Tori sang for someone else. I really believe she was singing about her father in the Improv for Mohammad My Friend and then again when she sang Graveyard. My impression of his frailness has certainly colored my impressions of the meaning of the songs. But my heart broke. (Now she better do Mohammad in Bethlehem!!!). It was hysterical when she came out for the first encore wearing a K-mart smock. Only Tori could pull off the sexy little play between her and Jon wearing that horrid thing. She whipped it off and whipped into Hotel and then slid us rocking into Raspberry Swirl. I couldn't imagine what she was going to do to end this concert and had no preconceived notions. I just knew I had to be eased out of the Rockin' ToriZone. And she returned to set us all loose with first Past The Mission, which kinda calmed the energy zinging off the walls, and then ended by letting Pandora's Aquarium let us come to the surface of reality. Wow. We sat there absorbing the final shreds of the concert feel until the guards threw us out. It was AMAZING!!! After Tori left (by the way, the crew bus has the entire "South Park" crew now, including Chef), a whole group of us went to Fells Point and ate the most marvolous Brick Oven Pizza and talked and laughed until about 3AM, when I left to return Home. I got back to Pennsylvania safely about 5:45AM and after writing one quick note, fell fast asleep until mid afternoon. What an experience. It was glorious. It was amazing. It was more fulfilling than sex (at least from what I remember). It was a wonderful energy party with Tori as the hostess with the mostess. Thanks for reading all of this, if you did. I hope everyone has been able to experience at least a quarter of the magic that I experienced last night. Thanks to my special EwW's who made this trip and concert possible for me. I truly would have regretted missing this experience.

I'm a Tori collector. the 'Collectibles' book is practically my bible when it comes to this stuff, but I couldn't find the help i need in that book, so i'm asking anyone else's help who knows this stuff...or is a collector. or what not. la. About a year ago, I bought the 'Cornflake Girl' (what i assumed was uk...i didn't bother looking it up) UK CD single from a friend. if any of you have the 'collectibles' book handy, there is a pic of the cover on page 36. The CD is packaged in a thin jewel-case and the number on it (what i could find) is _CD 85693_ and it's an East West release. Then yesterday I found another 'Cornflake Girl' UK (which I *now* know is the UK part 1 single). It's the exact same thing as the other single (ie. same songs and cover and liner notes), but it's in a _regular_ CD jewel case and the number is East West A7281CD (what the 'collectibles' book says is the UK pt. 1 cd...again. hee) so, my question is: Does anyone know the origin of the first CFG 'UK' cd i bought??? Germany, perhaps? Because...I have *no* clue. Please respond in a private email. Thanks for your help! :) .christa. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 19:35:58 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: shannon blue Subject: baltimore show. i think this show was definitely the best one i've ever been to. a lot of things came together on saturday for me to go to this show and i wanted to share them with everyone. i go to james madison university which is in southern virginia. saturday was homecoming and the game ended pretty early. my dad took a few of us out to dinner and i started feeling not so well. i guess i got whiney and homesick and decided to have him take me home. so we went back to northern virginia and i felt much better. just wanted to spend a night at home and get pampered by mommy. on the way, i took some medicine and my stomach felt much better. i got home late and just hung out. i had forgotten about the tori show and didn't have tickets anyway. i went downstairs to look for my phone to call my grandmother and found it while it was ringing. it was my friend heidi, who was down with some friends from nyu to see the show. we made a pact a while ago to tell each other about shows and to make every effort to see tori together. it was her on the phone in from her house, saying they had an extra ticket because one of her friend's couldn't come and the person who was supposed to take it got better seats.. so did i want to go? you bet your ass i did. we got there and missed the unbelievable truth, which i'm a bit upset about. i haven't heard them yet and i'd like to. but that's not the point. she went on about ten minutes after we got there. i've already told everyone about the set list and whatnot, but i'd like to get a little more specific. past the mission is astounding. i think it's like hotel and will get better as they play it more (i believe they did it twice at soundcheck). jon evans really goes to town in this song. as always, caton is very fluid and makes things stick together while matt needs a little warming up at times. muhammed my friend is about the same way. it's funkdafied -- i think that's the best way to describe it. i just also wanted to revisit the whole "touring with a band" issue. i know it was a big thing at the beginning of the tour with people liking it or hating it. i have to say that it has really clicked for her now. the band is a new husband and i think we were in-laws skeptical of how things were going to turn out. the in-laws, i think, are overwhemlingly pleased. take care. shannonblue. ~~*~ alone with my radio i lift up my hands. welcome to you who read me today. welcome to you who put my heart down. - --leonard cohen ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #365 *************************************
