Fischer" Subject: Re: professional widow video??? The video for Professional Widow at www.tori.com is the one that was played on MTV. The version of the PW song used for the video and the single was not the album version but a techno remix. Therefore, the video is a remix of clips from many of Tori's previous videos. No new footage was filmed for the PW video, which may be why they chose not to include it on the tape of Tori's Complete Video Collection. I think it's worth taking a look at just to see how they've put all the clips together, but I don't think your collection isn't complete without it because none of it is new.

That's the nitty gritty of the story, but when it came out in the mid/late 60's, it was mostly about sexual liberation, something that came about with the advent of the pill.

It makes me doubt that the album will have credits now. I think it sucks, but Hey Jupiter and Upside Down sound like a continuous "secret time", so maybe someone will recognize the remarks and the whistle (a long, piercing one that stopped Tori from playing for a moment), and we can figure it out that way.

Hi all, First off, I just wanted to wish Tori a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! FELIZ CUMPLEAŅOS! I love you, Tori. Secondly, it's been ages since I've posted anything on the list so I guess I'd say "hi everybody!". I'm very excited about all the new releases: the double album, bliss and 1,000 oceans on all 4 different configurations and glory of the 80s in the UK. Bliss is touching and I already love 1,000 oceans but I'm sure it will definitely grow even more on me. Lots of really ugly stuff has happened in my life lately and, as always, music is what helps me deal with all of it. I was listening to Little Earthquakes (new UK vinyl! yay) today, thinking how it has been over 2 years since I bought the CD, almost out of coincidence... listened to it for the first time... and it still makes me cry. Just as hard. I can't get over Precious Things, Crucify, Girl and Tear In Your Hand. *sigh* The Letterman appearance was awesome. Always gorgeous, charming and haunting, all at the same time. My collector ways will have plenty of new stuff (and old too) to obssess over in the upcoming months so I'm happy... gotta find the money to pay my credit card bills though. Hehe. What else? Umm... I'm happy to start reading concert reviews once again. Pretty exciting! As a side note, hopefully Tori will release a live version of God on any of the upcoming singles... I just need it. That's all for now... you all have a great evening. Giovanni http://come.to/corncity "I loved his secret places, but I can't go anymore".

I desperately want to attend a meet and greet but I know NOTHING about them. I know that you have to arrive at the venue REALLY early, most times to get a number, and wait all day, mostly until about 3:00, where if you're lucky you'll get to meet Tori, maybe pose for a pic, get something signed and say hi. Maybe you'll get 30 seconds of her time. It would be worth it to me though. But I've never attended...and I don't know anything... so I guess I have a few questions and if anyone is meet and greet educated I'd love it if you helped... I was thinking about getting there at about 6 AM? is this good? How do you know where to go?--at Starlake Amp in pittsburgh? Is anyone going to the pittsburgh show? Or going to that meet and greet? Do any venues not allow meet and greets? What are some things i should bring? (blankets maybe, a cooler?) I'm sorry if I sounded really dumb but I want to be completely prepared-because this is probably going to be my only chance to meet her. Thanks in advance for all your help. in tori, Holly _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

It was one of the most enjoyable evenings of my life and I'm sad it's over. Not only did Tori put on a wonderful show, but I met so many other awesome ears with feet. I LOVE meeting people at Tori shows because you see all different kinds, of all ages. Anyway, on to the review: I didn't go to the meet & greet as I had been hoping to because of transportation problems, so I can't tell you what that was like. :( Anyway, we got to the venue around^E.5:30 or 6:00 pm. (I can't remember the exact time.) The gates weren't open yet. We were first in line and we heard the last part of the soundcheck. A lot of Father Lucifer. :) During this time we talked with a lot of other Toriphiles and sat around under the hot sun. :) Finally they started letting us in. Security was tighter than past Tori shows I've been to^Ethey searched bags and went over people w/ metal detectors. A girl I met (hi Robin!) managed to sneak her camera in by putting it in a cup that was on the side of the fence inside the venue. Once we got inside, she discreetly went to the fence and took the camera out of the cup. The first thing I did once inside the venue was buy tour merchandise. I got the necklace, tour book, and a shirt. All big rip-offs. Oh well. BTW, just in case some of you don't know the prices yet: regular T-shirts are $27, the baby tee is $32 (!!!), tour book is $15, keychain is $10, necklace ! is! $10. Well, the prices may vary sometimes, but that's probably what you'll have to pay. As people have said in past reviews, BUY YOUR MERCHANDISE EARLY if you want to get it. Especially if you want a T-shirt in a particular size, or the tour book. I bought my stuff fast and after Tori finished, I decided I wanted another shirt and went to buy it, but the size I wanted was gone. The tour books were sold out too. I'm glad I got it early. Even though it's a whopping 15 bucks, it's got a nice intro by Neil, a short little one by Tori, nice pictures from the plugged tour, and some lyrics from the new album. I don't remember when Greta Gaines came on. I didn't watch her. I didn't like what I heard, so I just stayed on the picnic tables and chatted with people. After she went off, we went to our seats (2nd row!!!) and waited. It wasn't really very long a wait. I'm used to waiting unbearable lengths of time between Tori and her opening acts, but this one was relatively short. Tori came on around 8:05-8:15, singing God a capella from offstage before coming on, as usual. She looked lovely in black pants and a top I can't really describe. It was black, with a black sheer thing over it, and big red flowers. Kind of oriental looking. I can't explain. Her hair was pulled back. I couldn't see her shoes from where I was. :( Even though I had good seats, I had to stand up because everyone rushed the stage, and I'm short. I could still see her well, though. I managed to get up to the stage. On to the SETLIST!!!!!!!!!! *God *Bliss *Cornflake Girl *Blood Roses ---what everyone has been saying is true. You will NOT recognize this one at first! It was great, though. *Crucify---yet another new version. *Sugar ---AWESOME!!! I went crazy when I heard the first few piano notes. SECRET TIME: *Happy Phantom ---I was not expecting this! It was great! On the verse that's supposed to go "or will I see you dear and wish I could come back" she sang "la la la la la la la I forgot my words" etc. Hehe. *Landslide!!! It was amazing!!! I REALLY was not expecting this one! It was beautiful. Tear-inducing. :) I'm so happy she played it. When secret time ended, the band came back on the stage, Matt did a drum roll, and the crew and Alanis came on stage with a birthday cake with candles. The band played happy birthday and some of us audience members (myself included) sang along. Tori hugged and kissed everybody. Yay. The whole audience was screaming. *Father Lucifer---pretty much the same as the Plugged 98 version, with the beautiful improv in the middle. *Cruel ---WOW!!! It was AWESOME!!! Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Jon was going crazy, of course, pounding his bass and basically acting like he was possessed by a demon. :) There was a lot of interaction between him and Tori during this song. She and the whole band were having a great time. *Horses---I thought it would be The Waitress at first during the little improv she sang at the beginning about betraying friends. The actual version was the same as the 98 version. Beautiful. *The Waitress--- What can I say? Awesome as always. During the "hang ten honey" part, you could see Jon mouthing the words along with her, "hang ten, hang ten honey, I'm gonna go where she goes". She kept eye contact with me for about 5 seconds during part of the hang ten section. I was in heaven. :) Encore: *Precious Things---Right in the middle of this one, she got up, walked to where we were, and handed her bottle of water to a girl near me who seemed to be sick. It was so sweet, I started crying. (I don't know why, I just had this flood of emotions-I was worried about the girl, I felt sorry for her, and Tori was so nice and attuned to her audience.) The girl had been sitting down for a few songs and was leaning on the railing like she was about to faint. Some security people were really concerned and kept trying to help her out. I was really touched when Tori just got up in the middle Precious Things and handed the girl her water. My only complaint is that it was too short, of course. Everyone was having such a wonderful time---Tori, the band, and the audience. I wanted it to last much longer. It was an amazing show---I wanted MORE. It was still worth the $54 I paid for my ticket. I was up by the stage, though, and I could see Tori clearly, up close. I can see why people who had bad seats would be upset. And the band did seem REALLY loud compared to Tori, but I think that's just the acoustics of those types of venues. I could still hear her clearly. All in all, a wonderful, fun show that left me wanting more. Between Tori and Alanis, I walked around the place and met more Toriphiles. I signed an EWF tour/meet & greet scrapbook for Tori and didn't learn the names of the girls in charge. :P Oops. Hello whoever you are. I only saw a tiny part of Alanis-just about 30 seconds. I wanted to give her a chance but I was on my Tori high and didn't want to ruin it. I just couldn't take her voice any more. No offense to Alanis or her fans. I completely respect her as a person and as a musician, but I just couldn't stay any more. :) It was getting on my nerves. What I did see, though, was a really good show-if you're a fan of her. I'm just not a fan, so I had to leave. I felt bad, because I wanted to be fair and polite, but I had to go get my ride home anyway. I had a wonderful time tonight, and even though the set is shorter, you are in for a treat. I was in heaven the whole time Tori played. I just let the music swirl around me, danced a little, swayed to the beat, watched Tori and the band, and made eye contact with Tori several times. She gave me a sweet smile and that was the highlight of the evening, because I still have never been able to meet her. I gave my letter to Steve, the guy in charge of all the security. I really hope somebody recorded this show. Have fun! Those of you that get to go to more shows are lucky. I'm also jealous of those of you who get her with a longer set list, no Alanis. But I heard that she's probably coming back to Nashville again during the solo part of her tour. I hope this is true. Tori concerts are not only amazing and fun musical/emotional experiences, but also a great time to meet people. I'm looking forward to the next one. Sorry if this review was badly written, repetitious, and full of spelling errors. It's late and I can barely think or see the screen very well.

It is, if you will, a remix itself: it takes a bunch of Tori's other videos and cuts bits out to make this video.

The venue security were a bunch of pricks. I won't even go into the hell they put us through. I ended up getting heat stroke before the meet and greet and didn't even get to go to the show. However, while I waited in the shade for my friend to get out of the meet and greet and to get the car to pick me up...someone named Chris from Oklahoma sat with me. He stook up for me when security tried to make me get off their property. If anyone knows a phile from Oklahoma named Chris that was at the Nashville show...please get them to email me. I really appreciate what he did and he deserves my thanks.

I've never been to a Tori concert, stuck on this Island as I am , but damn it I'd like a momento of one!, well momentos....basically I'd like one copy of each item!...If anyone can shed some light, or knows of anyone else who sell's the tour bits I would greatly appreciate the info :-).

"Insane" was the word that leapt to my mind. ;) If you get there at 6am, you'll likely be one of the first there. [snip] >Do any venues not allow meet and greets? Kinda-sorta. As an example, Tori played Chastain Park in Atlanta in 1998. Chastain is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and there are all sorts of laws regulating the amphitheatre. One of 'em is that folks can't line up outside the amphitheatre more than a couple of hours before the show. The police kept on chasing folks away. >What are some things i should bring? (blankets maybe, a cooler?) Bring patience. Don't push, don't shove, don't shout; regardless of what anyone else there is doing. If the "tour kids" {the ultra-pushy monsters who go to every show and simply must see her before every show} are there, don't have high expectations for their behavior. I've gotta be honest here: I think the meet'n'greets are a thing of the past. They were great while they lasted, but too many people are going to 'em now, and there's a high enough percentage of assholes who ruin the experience both for everyone there and for Tori. There's talk that -all- meet'n'greets {not just the post-show ones} will be suspended, and given the behavior I've witnessed at 'em, I can't say I blame Tori and her staff at all. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:04:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Jennifer Mitts Cypres Subject: The Nashville Show: comments First let me just say hello to all the great EWFs that I made the acquaintance of for the first time at this concert: Dennise, Kelly (whose birthday is the same as Tori's), Nikki, Jamison, and Sanders! If you were there and I didn't get to say hi to you, at the meet-n-greet I was wearing the green Ears With Feet shirt that Violet made with a tan open long-sleeved shirt over it and jeans. At the concert I was wearing a long white flowy shirt and a denim skirt. And I have shoulder-length auburn hair. Oh, and who was the "hot" guy at the meet-n-greet and the concert with the shoulder-length wavy black hair and the white billowy shirt that Massive Attack signed? Wow! He could melt my butter! It was so great to see you again, Keith, Richard, and Mike! If you haven't heard yet, when Tori played Happy Phantom, she forgot the words "Will I see a deer and wish I could come back" and just sang "lalalalala I wish I could remember the words" then something else and "I shoulda taken my Geritol", all to the tune of Happy Phantom. This went on for quite a bit and was quite amusing. The one funny thing that happened during Alanis' set was that she was spinning around on You Learn, and knocked the microphone over with her hair and she nearly fell down herself, but she managed to keep her cool and just kept spinning. Merchandise wise: the necklaces are the best tour necklaces I've ever seen, and are only $10. If you like Alanis, she offers something different via a SWEATSHIRT (because I am just NOT a t-shirt person) that's very tasteful and not overly busy. Anybody else get as sunburned as I did at the meet-n-greet? Yikes! I have burn lines around the number that was written on my hand! BTW, guys, remember those interview questions we all compiled for Tori? I "gave" them to her (via a big box of collective birthday presents for her) wrapped around a bottle of wine, so she WILL be reading them. I enclosed my address for her to return the questions, so we'll see what happens. Also, the scrapbook is coming along nicely! Everyone be sure and AT LEAST contribute ONE LINE to the collective poem (Called Purple People) at the beginning of the scrapbook! And whoever winds up giving her the scrapbook at the end, could you please copy the poem and post it to Precious Things so we can all see how it turned out? Okay, bye! - -jen ("Jennifer" to those of you I met at the show) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
