Did you guys read the AP article??? "It is no coincidence that SLG comes along at this time in Tori's career. After three miscarriages (the last one occurring right after the London show of her 1999 tour with Alanis Morissette), the forth one took and just about a year ago, Natashya ("Tash") made it into the world. "Miscarriages are rough," says Tori. "I was so sick. And then the last thing I expected to happen -- I got pregnant with Tash over Christmas. I changed my life, slowed it down and just really tried to learn how to be pregnant." " THREE MISCARRIAGES??????????????? ACK!!!!! How awful! I guess she can talk about them now because she had Natashya? BTW--I am preg for the second time! And my god, I hope I dont have to worry about miscarriage!!!!!!!

I've had three miscarraiges in the course of two years, I'm in my mid-twenties, and I was the perfect pregnant person. Loving my baby, taking the right vitamins, eating perfectly, not doing anything strenuous, etc. Sometimes the body just rejects the baby, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. I've had a miscarraige at 2 months, 3 months and 5 months. And, I am perfectly healthy. It doesn't matter how far along you are. I don't mean to scare anyone, especially Daisy, I just wanted it to be known that miscarraiges don't just happen to people who don't take care of themselves and their babies. Yes, it is absolutely devastating and awful, and I can't imagine how she (Tori) spent her pregnancy with Natashya, but I'm sure it was so, so carefully, seeing how, at that point, it was considered "high risk." Please don't write and tell me how sorry you are for me- I don't want it. I just get so personal about miscarraiges, I have to speak my piece whenever it's around.

Following on from Stacy's review on 'ToriTour Euro' quoted below - I hope this isn't against any netiquette: I agree. A truly great show! I've seen Tori seven or so times, but never so intimate and never with such an atmosphere. There was such anticipation for new tracks. I think the first song was an interpretation of Raining Blood. I didn't recognise it from the album version, but I saw a set list later. Other than that Stacy you were spot on. The other new songs were Rattlesnakes (beautiful - 'She looks like Eva Marie Saint in On The Waterfront') and Time. But wasn't Time the last song of the main set? I seem to think that this is what she left on. I may be wrong. Cooling was probably the one that came across best to me. It had a really full sound to it, if that makes sense. Most of her other songs were very definitely interpretations. Winter, M&aG and Cooling were played as the originals, but the rest were all manipulated in that great Tori style. Many were extended beyond their normal length. Crucify was given a whole new edge for me when she played it on two keyboards at once. I don't think the acoustics of the venue agreed with her keyboard arrangements a lot of the time. Too much reverberation, but great none the less. I was lucky enough to be Access All Areas and had been promised a meeting with Tori, but apparently this wasn't to be. (However she did sign the back of my China CD single and reminisced about shooting the video, apparently.) She met a few select journalists after the show - to whom she was very warm and gracious - but as far as I know didn't greet the fans. She certainly didn't come to the after show party, which was a ball anyway. Posters were up of the various images, and it was great to see them in full poster size. Under each image was the Neil Gaiman interpretation of each character. I shan't ruin what they say for you, as they're set to appear in the tour programme. Mind you, knowing the web, they're probably already winging their way around cyberspace. One aspect of the show that was quite spooky was the fact that you couldn't get away from it being in a church. It was full on rose windows, pews as seats, a pulpit behind the piano etc. It is still a fully functioning church. I'm not religious but I couldn't bring myself to drink lager from a can in a church. I waited until the free sea-breezes backstage. Tori was obviously relishing it. She said 'Wow this is the real deal, the real thing' or something like that. Then pointing to the pulpit she said something like 'A lot has been said up there, by a lot of men. Some of them not that bad(?). Some of them are our dads. Some of them are our grandmothers'. This came just after (or before?) Take to the Sky with its tripple Priest/Father/Doctor reference, and she then said the grandmother anecdote that Stacy has already mentioned. I'm a little tipsy, as you can probably tell by my spelling and the way I've been rambling on. But if I remember anything else in the morning, I'll let y'all know. Oh yeah, and most fans managed to grab double-sided A1(?) size posters outside the venue. My one has the Satin Worship and the Cop on one side, and the Satin Worship and Blonde Curly hair on the other side. I know these descriptions are sacriledge to Toriphiles, but I can't remember the official ones. I hope no-one minds me sending this to preciousthings as well. Sorry if you get this twice. Much Tori bert - --------------------------------------- 'And now you've made me want to die You tell me that you're unboyfriendable' - The Magnetic Fields - --------------------------------------- Stacy's review, for those of you on the Precious Things list: let me start off by saying the show was absolutely f*cking amazing!...of course. i'm gonna break this email down into sections... BEFORE THE SHOW: i arrived a little after 4 pm and tori was outside meeting people. the crowd was so calm...i have never been to such a chilled out meet and greet. no one was pushy or trying to get closer. there was a crowd of people behind a small barricade that was barely guarded and there were also a bunch of people just standing randomly behind tori, including myself and there was no barricade there. we could have just walked right up to her but no one did because there just seemed to be this sense of respect not to do that. i'm guessing she was out for about 20 minutes and then she went in to do a sound check. THE SOUND CHECK: i stood right outside the front doors to the chapel and could here most of what was going on inside. there were other people standing around me, and again no security telling people to back away. i personally heard her play parts of "lust," "take to the sky," and "god." someone came over after the sound check and said she also played, "merman," and "talula" during sound check. OPENING ACT: tori DID have an opening act. he went on at about 750. he is english and his name is adam masterson. it was just him and an acoustic guitar. i thought he was really good...he had a different kind of style for playing and lyrics. he played 6 songs. THE SHOW: tori came on around 9 and ended around 1030. not seeing her in a few years really made me appreciate the set list...i am very pleased with it. there were a few songs i didn't recognize but i wrote down what i *think* they might be called. feel free to correct me. so here it is: 1.freedom blood(?) 2. take to the sky here she said something like, "my grandmother always used to tell me, 'myra ellen, you have to give your body to a man, your soul to god and all of your love to jesus' what else is there?" then someone yelled "your music" and she smiled and went into: 3. lust 4. this old man 5. god (played on piano and keyboards) 6. icicle here she started talking about matthew shepard and dedicated the next song to him. 7. merman 8. crucify (played on a wurlitzer which she claims was from some band back at woodstock) she f*cked up in the middle of the song and did this cheeky little smirk and made a funny noise and said "you've been waiting all night for that" then to the tune of crucify she sang "you've been waiting all night for that" and finished the song. 9. beulah land 10. rattlesnake(?) 11. me and a gun (i was so surprised and so happy to hear this) 12.time(? sorry this is my best guess at this, but it was beautiful) 13. leather ENCORE: 14. cooling (so happy to here this!!!) 15. winter so there it is. i apologize for not knowing some of the songs. the acoustics in the chapel were excellent. it's a really cool place...very small which was good because it's hard to get a bad seat. i waited around after the show for about 30 minutes. there were only a few straglers hanging around. i left so i don't know if she did come out of not. if anyone knows please write in...i'm just curious! one more note...she did mention something about coming back to england in december or after december. i hope everyone enjoys their future shows as much as i enjoyed tonight! take care ,stacy - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 02:33:12 +0100 From: "Richard Austin" Subject: Union Chapel Gig Hi Folks, I won't bore you with a review as there'll be a million by the time you get this.
