Actually, those are two dolls, 'cos there's one next to each hand :) Just one happens to be face up I think. I found this picture somewhat fascinating, and at first thought it was the cover of Choirgirl with something added, but her hand signals are slightly different and so is her clothing. Also, this is the picture which is featured on the back of the white t-shirt being sold at the concerts. (The front being the original Choirgirl cover). >My only question is - does everyone have a badly printed copy? Not *BADLY* >badly, but with errors? I checked the pages you mentioned in my book, and there were no errors there. So if there are less than perfect printed copies out there, they aren't meant to be like that. sabrina ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 10:39:45 -0600 From: "Diana" Subject: Re: Down by the Seaside - -----Original Message----- From: Darren Linder To: Dust A Bunny ; Precious Things Date: Wednesday, June 10, 1998 9:02 PM Subject: Re: Down by the Seaside > >Yes, Tori and Robert Plant do a weird version of "Down by the Seaside" >on the Encomium album.

Tori performed her only Dutch concert in Den Haag yesterday evening and there aren't that many words that can describe the event. Overwhelming? Definitely! Sensory overload? Probably! The concert started somewhere around 20.15, when the Devlins arrived onstage. They had a nice set of six songs, and with the exception of one song, I found them pretty good. The singer reminded me of Dream Academy and Scritti Politti, both very nice groups of the '80s, and while they played pretty standard rock tracks, I thought their lyrics were pretty touching and musically it was just entertaining enough to keep listening attentively. Of course, our 'main course' for today was Tori, and I got the feeling that the audience (the concert was sold-out, BTW) wanted to see her as quickly as possible. We had to wait for a long while, though. When she started it was around 21.30. For those who have seen many concerts of this (European) tour, this must have been a pretty standard one. A few of the songs I've heard on radio and TV from her performance at the Pinkpop festival, and the way they were played here was pretty much the same (including Tori's imitation of a seal at the end of 'The Waitress'). The set list was as follows (written down during the concert, so this is an accurate one!): Black Dove (January) Cruel Crucify I i e e e - Tori then said that this was to be their last concert in Holland, and that they were sorry because it was their favourite country to play in (I bet she says that to all countries, doesn't she?) and then proceeded to introduce the band. Cornflake Girl Donut song Liquid diamonds China (solo) Upside down (solo) Jackie's strength Precious Things Spark The Waitress Encore 1: Space dog Horses Encore 2: God Raspberry Swirl So you see, our request to play Donut song was rewarded tonight! I've never seen a better version of the song, too. Caton did a spinechilling guitar solo and he seemed to enjoy every second of that song, too. During the intro of Spark she seemed to have some problem with her keyboards, and the band was already playing. She motioned to the band, saying, "Nononono, keep going!" - which earned her an applause from the audience :) . Upside down was a surprise, and having never seen Precious Things in the new version I was A-M-A-Z-E-D. During the last tour I was so tired of this song & she played it so painfully slow, that I hoped never to hear it again. But now, with the band: it was like the song had been reconstructed from the ground up. It was so unbelievably powerful live, I almost drowned in it! After the first encore, people from the back rows (I was in row 5, myself) started flooding in and they came standing near to the stage. This had never happened before at Dutch Tori concerts as far as I know, and what followed was pretty amazing too: as they played God and Raspberry Swirl people started dancing, clapping and generally losing their minds. I've never actually seen Dutch crowds being so orderly and so exuberant all at the same time! This was just pure fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it! The setlist which someone grabbed from the stage, revealed that 'Swirl' was planned for the first encore, and that 'Flying Dutchman' would be the one & only song in the second encore. So we got an extra song, too. It's just a pity we didn't get Dutchman this year, it's kindof a tradition that she plays it during every tour in Holland. Hey, this concert was fantastic! The only negative point I can think of is the lack of spontaneity working with a band has proved to offer. Tori can't go off improvising, which she doesn't do anymore as a result, and that makes for a pretty 'standard' show. I also felt that the evening went by too fast. Playing 17 songs in some 90 minutes _is_ pretty fast, it would have taken her more time during earlier tours. But it doesn't tip the scale in favour of the negative points: the concert was energetic, lively, and I felt that both Tori and the band were enjoying this performance to no end. After the concert there was the usual waiting-for-Tori-to-leave-the-building. The concert ended at 23.00, and Tori left eventually at 00.00. we soon heard that she had to drive to Hamburg tonight, and that we wouldn't have to wait too long. The organization of the crowd was less well done than yesterday afternoon: there were some 50 people behind the fences spanning some 10 meters. We waited for Tori, and I must say it was again a very nice affair: Torifans are generally very polite and easygoing folk, there was quite a bit of talking amongst ourselves while we were waiting. When Tori appeared, many people wanted autographs and take pictures, but she couldn't do all of us this time around. Joel looked pretty stressed and said they had a long drive ahead of them, and directed the fans to one end in order for them to get any autograph Tori would give. I didn't ask for any myself (after all, I'd already gotten two this afternoon) but did manage to make a few photographs again, some from above and a few right in her face from behind some EWF. After some five minutes Tori was escorted by Joel into the bus and they drove off. A few EWF were pretty disappointed of course, but some others were overjoyed. An American guy went totally out of his mind because Tori had apparently said "I love you" to him. The poor guy believed that this was the beginning of a truly wonderful lovestory between the two of them. Some people don't know reality from dreamworld I guess. Well, it was a great night - pity that this should already be the end for us Dutch people. I hope you will enjoy the Tori shows wherever you are, and when meeting her backstage, please, try to be 'normal'. I think Tori and those around her appreciate that more than blind idolizing and wild screaming. (My $0.10.)

If anyone saw MTV Live when Tori was on, I believe she talked about "those two people". I seem to recall her discussing if she should have gotten in the car or not. But maybe it was me... Also, she's talked about the 2 people and about the meaning of Spark in some recent interviews. I'm sure Mike has the interviews and a transcript from MTV at the DENT (http://www.aye.net/%7Emikewhy/toriamos.html) Just do some research. Look around. You might actually find out what everybody else knows.

CONCERTS These are all the concerts they know to be going on sale next week so if yours isn't on this list then please keep waiting patiently. ------------------------------------------------------------ Concert City Venue On-Sale Date Date ------------------------------------------------------------ 8/15 Knoxville, TN Civic Auditorium 6/20 8/25 Nashville, TN Grand Ole Opry 6/20 9/1 Denver, CO Red Rocks Amphitheater 6/19 DATE MOVED A concert in Albany, NY was scheduled for 7/31 but has been moved to 8/5. That show will go on sale 6/13. A show in Poughkeepsie, NY has been added for 7/31. I don't yet know when that one will go on-sale. TOUR The general plan is that after the Los Angeles concerts on September 22 and 23, the tour will move through southwest US: Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. No specific dates have been set for those states yet. AUSTRALIA I am often asked so I keep inquiring about Australia. The word today is that the idea has been mentioned but the decision on whether to tour Australia hasn't been made yet. There are no plans in the works right now, not even anything tentative. Sorry, I wish I had happier news for the Australian fans. :( -Greg Burrell The Official Tori Amos Fanzine News Editor http://www.toriamos.org Really Deep Thoughts ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jun 1998 19:09:43 -0700 From: Robert L Ravard Subject: FASTIXX Portland Tori show To all Portlanders: I have a few questions and concerns.

Spark, as far as I know, is primarily about the miscarriage. My interpretation of the rest would be maybe she's speaking in part to her husband, 'you say you don't want it', and maybe 'it' is the baby and he's trying to console her about this loss and she doesn't believe him, but then I'm not sure about the circus bit...and of course, I might just be completely wrong about everything... As far as those twin type people in the video, I believe they're meant to represent the twins in a story she heard. Apparently these twins in real life tuned in on some sort of psychic level while these people were in a church being attacked by a tornado...like these twins were feeling their pain and I think they told their parents about these people needing help...Tori's mom told her the story. oh oh, I remember where it came from now! It was when I watching this channel called The Box, and you call for them to play videos, but they also have interviews with musicians that you can order and they had one for Tori and I saw that...so...hopefully you have that... And about God and the blow job thing, I have no clue...I'm sorry! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #217 *************************************
