Well, heres the setlist for the Cincy show 9/14: God Little Amsterdam Cornflake Girl Bliss Cruel Little Earthquakes *Secret time* Upside Down Hey Jupiter * * Concertina Juarez Spacedog The Waitress *encore* Precious Things *sound checked with* Little Amsterdam Hotel Concertina (and a few more that i dont remember at the moment) Tori's parents were sitting right near us at the concert! I got a picture of them and I really wanted to talk to them after Tori played, but they left right away :( Anyway, as far as the concert went...It was the best concert of my life! It was the first tori concert I have ever been to and I really hope she tours alone sometime soon! I heard from a friend who went to the show the sunday before that she didnt play space dog- I was so bummed 'cause that is my favorite song. Can you imagine the look on my face when she actually played it??? I was flipping out!! :) I really liked the way she opened with God. I thought the lighting was awesome on all of the songs too. I especially liked the song Concertina and I thought Little Amsterdam sounded awesome with the band. At first i was disspointed because My seat was on the left (facing the stage) of the venue- and i didnt really get a good view of tori's face. But when she did Cruel and turned around to play the keyboard i felt like she was looking right at me! how special :) Tori also played Upside Down for the first time on the tour in Cincy because of the line "Cincinnati, I like the word" which she admitted was a little corny. :)~ The crowd was awesome and nobody talked so that added to the spectacularness (new word) of the concert :) The only aspect of the tour that I was really dissapointed with was the meet and greet. I waited in line for so long and they squished all of us at a little opening in a fence. When tori came, she autographed the things from the people in the front and to my disgust- the people didnt leave after they got their things signed!! This was so annoying because I couldnt see over them and they didnt give anyone else a chance to meet tori :( How rude :( Well, at least i saw the top of her cute blue hat! Well thanks for sticking around to read my blabbing! I hope all of you have/had as much fun at the concert as i did :) Megan SYNCJ05@aol.com **So sure we were on something Your feet are just on the ground, girl** ps- I thought Alanis did an awesome job too. It was a really different setting than tori and it was fun to let loose after sitting and crying for like an hour! hehe. Anyway, I liked how she wasnt her usual "angry" self... she seemed a little more at peace- thank you india! lol :)~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 16:07:23 PDT From: "climbing forever" Subject: to venus and back semi review hello as I type this, I'm listening to the live disc of To Venus And Back, and am very very happy. Earlier today, when I went to do my radio show , there was a package waiting for me, and upon opening it, I found an advance copy of TVAB. I've been listening to it in bits and pieces all day between doing things, and actually have rather mixed feelings on it. First, the live disc. I've gotten a chance to listen to most of the songs in their entierty, and am LOVING it. MUCH better than any bootleg, and a wonderful selection of songs (although I would have personally liked to see Liquid Diamonds or Past the Mission included...oh well). Unfortunately, the liner notes don't say where the tracks were recorded, but I'm positive they're not from the same show, however they are edited together amazingly well to make it seem like one concert. Precious Things is very good and pushed the 8 minute mark, although it seems to be lacking in the energy it had at the shows (of course, nothing can compare to actually being at the show, but this version seems a little off to me)...Cruel is great and has a wonderful improv in the middle (listening to it makes me upset all over again I never got the chance to hear it live)...I was kind of upset that Cornflake Girl was included (its not one of my favorites), but this version is very impressive. Bells For Her - words cannot describe. absolutely beautiful. Girl doesn't sound too different from the album version to me, but its very nice. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to all of Cooling or Cloud on my Tongue yet, so I won't comment on them. Mr. Zebra is fun, and Sugar is fierce - she practically spits out the word "pussy" in the middle. GREAT song. havent gotten to hear all of Little Earthquakes or Space Dog yet, but from what I have heard, they're pretty good. Waitress breaks the 10 minute mark, and makes SURE you know why it was played at every show - its AMAZING. Purple People closes the disc, and is beautiful, another one I wish I could have heard at one of the shows I was at. So, overall, a very well put together disc, especially considering all there was to choose from. As for the first disc, I've only gotten through about half of it, and am not sure exactly what I think about it. Bliss is great. Juarez is pretty good - reminded me a little bit of Cruel when I heard it live, and still does. Lots of effects all over the place, and the lyrics are VERY hard to make it. Concertina is by far my favorite of the ones I've listened to - I think I've listened to it 6 or 7 times and am ready to hear it again. I'm really awful at describing things, but it just flows very well, and is very catchy. Glory of the 80's is pretty good too, just a nice, pleasant song. Lust, Suede, and Josephine are the last ones I got to listen to, and I must say I'm not too impressed with any of them. Lust was kind of boring. Suede is a good idea - its her voice (which is sometimes doubled) over a drum beat with a keyboard doing strange things behind her - but it goes on for a little long and, again, is kind of boring. Josephine didn't seem to be anythign special either. This is definately one of those records I'll have to listen to many times before it either starts to sink in or doesnt, but upon first listen, its kind of disappointing. So, that's that. Sorry it wasn't a very well written or descriptive review, but those are my initial thoughts. take care, james ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 20:02:37 EDT From: XXXPandora@aol.com Subject: Re: Tori T-Shirts In a message dated 9/16/1999 8:29:37 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ssvidar@super.net.uk writes: << Could someone please let me know if there are a total of four t-shirts, or five t-shirts available on the Alanis/Tori tour! >> there are 5 the black one with purple picture, the purple one, the black one with piano, the white one and the tiny pink one. kisses, joanne ------------------------------ Date: 16 Sep 99 18:08:21 MDT From: the Subject: venus...also ge score i guess some people already got their hands on venus (through contests and what not) so...what's the booklet like and are the dates of the live songs listed? also...is there anything tori on the great expectations score cd? thanks, a. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 16:36:56 -0700 From: Megasus Subject: Re: 1,000 Oceans debacle TheSiamese@aol.com wrote: > IMHO, I think that 1,000 Oceans shows a boring and average side of Tori.

Okay, I've stayed quiet about this subject most of the time now, but I want to say something to this. Just because you aren't 'moved' by the song, doesn't mean everybody else in the world shouldn't be either. And I've seen people say that this song isn't "up to Tori's standards"... who are we to judge what her standards are? So many people are saying that TVAB was too quickly thrown together and wont be any good.. but from what I've heard it sounds simply beautiful.. But that's my point here.. everybody is entitled to their own opinions, and I don't think anybody should say "You're wrong for liking this song." or "You're wrong for not liking it." Personally, I love the song. I don't compare songs to other ones and say "Oh this sucks"... or "Oh this is so much better than (insert song or album)" I just listen and enjoy because it's Tori. And I'm not saying everybody else has to enjoy everything.. just try to be considerate of other's feelings and opinions. :) Okay, I've babbled enough.. just wanted to get that out. - -- ^_~Megasus~_^ http://members.xoom.com/Megasus/ ICQ# 14241089 "Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear.." -Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 03:44:47 GMT From: "The Great Goddess Jolie" Subject: Re: Tori and her quotes!

Yesturday during the horrible storm we had my mother had the piano man come and tune and replace all strings (15 keys were broken). The man took a total of 7 hours for only 300 bucks. Anyways, since last night I decided to go down and fiddle with this tool I have only played with my (deceased) great grandma. I started playing the only song I know "Noel" and then I was captured. Even when the lights went out I took my candle stick for light and played. Then today I came home from HS for lunch and went down and played a lil and then finally found my way to playing the first two lines of "Winter". I have finally found a connection with something I absolutly love! I feel it calling for me, I am sure it gets lonely down there. And now it is like I can't wait to go and play more! I never had Piano lessons...I always tried to learn things by myself but this time I might need help so i am getting a teacher but WOW is this instrument and me in a big bond connection!

First off dudes (and dudettes), don't be lookin' for a jewel case. This is a tri-fold cardboard (lyric sheet in the middle). The album of new is OH MY GAWDDESS of lovelieness. The live is OHHHH MY GODDESS of gorge!!! (just like we all were in our past lives). It sounds like one continuous concert. It's wonderful, fabulous and what the F*** am I doing on line when I could be listening to my early B-day present? To top it off, I got the new AP for $2.50, so all you suckers, hahahahahahahahahaha!! Price for the two cd set: $16.99. Don't spend a penny more. You will love, love, LOVE it!!! To Venus and Back is Fab and more. (now who do I shag to get out of here?)

I understand that others like it. So why are you jumping on me for this ?? I don't think that this song lives up to Tori's potential. I have every right to compare it to her past efforts. I think this song is a good example of something that was just thrown together. Usually, Tori's music can awaken thoughts and emotions in me that I didn't even know were there. This song leaves me cold. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 21:34:03 -0400 From: "~Wendi~" Subject: concertina hi all, ok, i'm listening to 'concertina', and this song really reminds me of another song (not by tori), but i can't put my finger on it...especially the chorus when she sings 'concertina, concertina....' has anyone else thought that this song reminds them of something else? i really love the piano in that song... :) wendi ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 18:06:35 PDT From: "Nick Nadel" Subject: coffee shop? it saddens me that due to school and work, i can't be as in the loop as some of you are so i pose this question: what's the coffee shop that tori mentions before upside down on the bliss single and baker baker on the 1000 oceans single? are these taken from the same show? was the coffee shop and "the girls from the coffee shop" some pre-show meet and greet thing? am i way off base? this is coming a bit late, but i loved the pnc and jones beach shows! joens beach had the best set. i love the new arrangements for god and waitress. she is so good at reinterprting songs! i like 1000 oceans alot, it's easily her most straight-forward ballad in a while and it should be a big hit but it won't cause all the radio plays is brittany spears. the only thing i don't like about it is the unneccasary production. it should have been stripped down to just piano without the drum machine. the concert version is better. hey, maybe she could do a remix that would take away the beats instead of adding them on, like a reverse-remix! last months issue of interview with sarah polley on the cover gave venus and back a really good review! this weeks entertainment weekly with the 100 greatest movie moments gave it a B, which is good for them since they usually don't like tori and gave boys for pele a C- ( i think chorgirl got a B). US magazine has a one page article and so does last weeks rolling stone. plus the good cover article in alternative press. any i missed? hopefully spin will do a cover, rolling stone won't. next week is a big release week. tori will compete with NIN, barbara streisand, chris cornell, and a couple others. but NIN is the only real competion she'll face, i expect the album to debut in the top ten. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #276 *************************************
