Yough: I took almost no notes last night at the Philly show. I wasn't in a mental place to be doing that. I was immediately and overwhelmingly distracted all night by how much her voice was not cooperating with her. The only other time I'd seen a show where she was having what were to me obvious and persistent problems with her voice was (coincidentally?), two years ago to the day today, in Washington, D.C. It was the middle one of three show nights in a row, and it was kind of raspy, and deteriorated all night from there. She even messed up lyrics that night to Hey Jupiter which was the last song she'd been playing at every show on the then nine-weeks old tour. It seemed to me that she was just so amazed she'd gotten through that show that she lost her place for a moment. Last night in Philly was different. Her voice had none of its usual suppleness, and watching her try to get it to do what she wanted was like watching her wrestle an invisible alligator all night. Not conducive to my enjoyment of the concert, to say the least! I was screaming inside for her as I was the night on the DDI tour when I saw her wrist go away on her. I know it's not my place to worry about her but I do anyway. In Philly, she pulled every vocal trick in the book to circumvent the notes she didn't have. And I must say, she's a master at knowing her limitations and making the most of what resources she has available to her in *all* ways, all the time. Brilliant, really. So she knew which notes were available to her and which weren't and didn't even try to hit the ones which weren't there. I heard no bad notes from her in Philly. Does anyone know what exactly the problem is with her voice that she is, as she said the other night in New York, taking steroids for it? It may very well be allergies again. This is the time of year for it with her. But it's been so rainy on the east coast recently that most of the pollen would have been washed out of the air. I'd be interested in hearing from someone who spoke with her before the show last night to find out what was going on with her speaking voice then. She was having much more trouble speaking than she was singing, at least from the stage. It was freezing and windy yesterday afternoon in Philly, and raining on and off. I wasn't back there but the buzz indicated that she must have been in back of the venue talking to folks for around a half hour in that weather, and that seemed insane to me knowing she was already taking steroids for her voice. I spoke with one person I knew who'd been back there and begged of him to please tell me she was wearing a scarf, and he said she was, but that it was just a thin black one. What are we ever gonna do with her? [sigh] She and the rest of the band remained in great good spirits all night, and she was her usual self on the keys, and in control of the band. I was pleased to see that Matt has come to be much more easy with the odd bars of 4/4 time tossed into Spark, and I suspect it won't be long now before they go into full-blown jam mode at the break when performing it in concert. It should be wonderful when they're in a place to be able to do that. Matt had a Barbie doll on top of one of his cymbal stands, and when she introduced him she said he was "...Matt Chamberlain, on drums and Barbie." Jon and Caton were enjoying themselves a great deal during Cruel, exchanging big smiles as they traded blown-out licks, trying to out-hilarious one another. A theme I expect will be greatly expanded as the tour progresses. Actually, almost *everything* about these shows will be expanded as the tour progresses, I'm quite sure of it. I'd been thinking on my way to this Philly one that watching these shows was like watching rehearsals, and was amused to find out that she'd told someone in Boston who was too young to get into the venue that this was indeed what these shows were. You folks who missed the club tour completely--trust me--these shows are gonna be amazing before too long. You'll see better shows on the proper tour to come. Although overall, if one didn't really notice the voice trouble she was having in Philly it would have been an enjoyable show. Precious Things in this band incarnation is a mighty piece of work. I wish she'd get more of the older material together with such an astonishing arrangement. As it stands, the newer material far outshines the old in these shows. I really wonder how much they're gonna revamp the whole show before she gets to England. Is she gonna have the concert grand Boesendorfer rather than the baby grand? It sure makes a huge difference--when she's playing solo, especially. I miss the big, ringing resonance of the concert grand Bosey. She was schlepping that thing along before on tours for a reason! I'm thinking she's not risking her voice on a permanent basis, and that this little crisis will pass and she'll be her usual self again before too long. I sure hope so. As for you guys to see the Chicago show--which is a third show night in a row for her, and is apparently to be both internetcast and taped for a syndicated national radio program--keep your fingers crossed that she's got anything left at all if she hasn't been cured by then. And as a friend said to me on the phone last night, if she *cancels* a show, *then* worry, because she'll perform half-dead if she has to. I'm a little queasy about posting this, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. I know in the past she's appreciated my honest opinions about her music, and I don't want to be alarmist, but damn...I just want her to be okay. Being concerned for her health at show six rather than show 156 was not anything I'd anticipated. And I don't like this one bit. With fingers crossed... Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 19:01:16 EDT From: Mac456789 Subject: Re: Spark Video on 120 Minutes What times is 120 minutes on?

She really put her everything into that performance, and my friend commented at what a Rocker she was... as for her vocals, i was impressed, but i can see richards point, of course my last viewing of her was the RAINN concert and i thought her vocals were more off that nite. she was more in control of her capability rather than vice versa... but i could see she was trying to do more , but it still was sublime :) ...during icicle she encouraged us all to sing along :) oh how marvelous. but i couldnt quite hear all from where i was... ..story telling was very limited this nite, she did tell one story about a shoestore and a salesperson who was not so nice and then she called up the manager and got the shoes for free, and then she gave us the finger and said something like fuck her/them or somthing- it wasnt too clear to me, i was next to the huge speakers... she then played waitress well, i hope you all had a good time. i am curious to hear more perpectives of the evening, to see if anyone got something very different from me... everyone going to future dates: HAVE FUN!!!!!! :) ellen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 20:12:13 -0400 From: "Tori's new album debut's May 5th!!!"

My mom, not being a big Tori fan, won't be happy when BMG delivers two Tori CDs this week, and when she hears I plan to buy Choirgirl the day it hits the stores. I am close to broke, so I have to sell my BRAND NEW Crucify single (I love it, c'est la vie) to pay the bills, so to speak. Here's it's info: Just bought it today, no scratches on case or CD, MINT, uwrapped though, played twice, and has the following play list: 1. Crucify (remix) 2. Winter 3. Angie 4. Smells Like Teen Spirit 5. Thank You I'm pricing it at $12, the price I paid, not including tax, plus any shipping costs, which would bring it to about $15. I think it's a beautiful CD, and the only reason I'm selling it is because I have to pay my BMG bill this month. So please, if you want this CD, and can find the goodness in your heart to buy it, PLEASE E-MAIL ME. My mother is going to be raving mad if I have to borrow money to pay for my BMG CDs!

Stevie Nicks... NOT! Hiya guys! Ok, it seems as if I'm missing my digests because I've just seen this reply to a post about Tori/Fleetwood Mac/Tribute CD/Stevie Nicks, and hadn't even read the original message. Actually, I think I've missed a lot of digests... which is sad because I love reading everyone's mail. Dear list-owner, any thoughts on why this is happening? Anyhow, on to the subject... I would have to say that we just CANNOT compare Tori's cover versions of other artists' original songs (sorry about the redundancy here). Case in consideration (just to name a one)... Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" (song penned by the wonderful Stevie Nicks, who also sings it). Being a huge fan of both artists involved in the debate, and being Tori the person who remakes these songs, I would have to say that there is no way in which I could say the cover (Tori's) version is better than the original. Why? Well, for you other Nicks fanatics out there know how hard it would be to agree with someone who says the song "sounds" better when sung by Tori. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not that I like Stevie better than Tori (or vice-versa), and it's not a matter of the song "belonging" to its original interpreter. It's not that complex either, perhaps it's a matter of which version of the song you heard first. In my case, being a new fan of Stevie/Fleetwood Mac, and having been a fan of Tori for over a year, I could not say that I like Tori's cover version better because the truth is that after having heard it first coming from Stevie's mouth (on "The Dance" or on "Fleetwood Mac"), loving it and then finding out about Tori's version and listening to it. I don't think I could say that there is someone who could make the song more beautiful than it already is. But that it is only my opinion... and I could actually say the same thing about Madonna's "Live To Tell" and Tori's subsequent cover version. I am a big fan of both, but having heard it first coming (oh-so beautifully) from Madonna, I cannot say that I like Tori's version of that song better. But then there's also that "it's just my personal opinion" thing. That's what it all boils down to. You will say "I like it [the cover] better" but that's only you and your personal situation (how much you know about the original artist, how much you like and relate to the original version) there. See what I mean? For example, I can safely say that I like Tori's cover versions of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You", "Whole Lotta Love", The Rolling Stones "Angie" or Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" much better than their original versions. But that's because I don't really like either one of those artists. I cannot expect a fan of those people agreeing with me. After all, it's opinion VS. opinion. And there's no point in that. But I'm sure you already know what I mean so I will shut up now (hehe). And... finally, to try to answer the question: "Why wasn't Tori on the Tribute CD??"... well, in case you're referring to Tori being on the album with a cover version of "Landslide", I have to tell you that it is a tribute to Fleetwood Mac's (wonderful) album "Rumours", not to all of Fleetwood Mac's career. And "Landslide" is _not_ on "Rumours" but on the album that preceeded it, "Fleetwood Mac" (a.k.a. The White Album, wonderful album too, by the way). Whenever there should be a tribute album to all of Fleetwood Mac's music legacy, I agree that Tori should remake that song, and/or the awesome "Songbird" (not originally by Stevie Nicks though, but by the honorable lady Christine McVie), which IS on the "Rumours" CD. Anyhow, I'm just enchanted (Stevie Nicks pun, those who are up-to-date with her will get it) by all Fleetwood Mac's wonderful music so I don't think there is anyone who could make their songs better than they already are. Only themselves, I guess. I simply don't see anyone doing "Dreams","Gypsy" or "Silver Springs" or any of the others any more beautifully than Stevie/Fleetwood Mac. But I'm rambling! You may have guessed it by now though... that I love to ramble on about Tori, Stevie and Fleetwood Mac. I haven't gotten the "Rumours" Tribute CD yet though (because it wasn't released here in Colombia), but it will be very interesting to hear the new versions of the songs... especially "Go Your Own Way" by The Cranberries. That one should be great... but I personally think some of the artists on that CD were poor choices for re-doing all those materpieces. But anyway... Thanks for reading!
