I have lost his e-mail and am trying to find it... The only other person who might have it is Dor and I am sure she is far from a computer. Jeff, are you out there?

God I love bitchy Toriphiles! =) In the December '98 issue of SPIN magazine, in the Going Postal section, not only is there the heading Really Deep Thoughts for one part, but under the heading Readers Digest Readers, there is this lovely letter: "Memo to Daniel J. Hamlow of Farmington, New Mexico: How dare you put Tori Amos in the same category as Alanis Morissette, Meredith Brooks, and NAtalie Imbruglia! Not all female artists belong in the same league. Kelly Kenyon Excelsior, Minnesota" Just thought I'd share that. =) Heather "Thunder wishes it could be the snow..."

I'm the one who wrote not long ago asking for advice regarding what I should send Tori. (Thanks a million for the feedback.) After a lot of thinking and reading the advice I decided on a CD (Carlos Vives...vallenato music - original from the Colombian Caribbean coast) and a photo I took in a very colorful town about six hours from Bogota called Raquira. It is a photo of a woman leaning against a wall as if waiting for something to happen...Not very far up the sidewalk, a small girl leaning in the same position. Well, whoever wants to see it, let me know! I guess I just wanted to tell you about it, knowing you will understand the importance of this for me...now I really hope Tori sees what I sent and likes it, and someday gives me feedback on it... So, if anyone hears Tori mention the gift sent by a Colombian EWF (Cynthia), please let me know!! thanks!! xx C. p.s. I finally bought the JS single, and it was great being able to watch the videos, since I had not even seen clips of them... JS totally beautiful...and RS a lot of fun, somewhat surreal, but interesting. the only thing I did not like was that there is only one way of watching RS...you have to sit through JS (or am I doing something wrong??) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 06:36:00 -0800 (PST) From: Cooling MyHeels Subject: ewf set lists Warning: The following contains a mass of contradictions and is not in any way, shape or form intended to inflict harm (esp. on myself in the form of flames). Anyway, I know of at least two shows this tour in which tori allegedly played ewf set lists and wanted to start a discussion on this. (BTW, i don't know WHICH two though, so if someone could impart that info, i'd be most grateful.) I'm really torn about the idea. It's great in theory and I'm very jealous about the people who got to make their dreams come true. But at the same time, doesn't this take away a bit from the magic of the Tori show. I mean, Tori will ALWAYS be magical, but I think part of the concert experience is to wait and wonder what delectable number will be next. A song requested at Meet & Greet thrown in here and there and what not. But, having said that, me and my tori sis (hi swirl grrl) tried to come up with our perfect tori set the other day. It really is difficult and I praise those who did it so well that Tori played theirs. Here's mine, how about sending on yours? (Keep in mind this is ideal, not realistic.) 1. Cornflake Girl 2. God 3. Bachelorette 4. Spark 5. Happy Phantom 6. In the Springtime of His Voodoo (Solo) 7. Never Seen Blue 8. Cooling (Band) 9. Whole Lotta Love/Precious Things 10. Hotel 11. Crucify (1st encore) 12. Do It Again 13. Raspberry Swirl (2nd encore) 14. Take to the Sky 15. Love Song Look forward to your answers and discussion on ewf set lists... == Met him in a Hotel Met him in a guess world guessed anyone but you - --Tori _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Thanks. :) Love always, Melissa Leubner - ------------------------------------------------ What can I say? What could I possibly say? This has to be one of the best shows all tour, if not THE BEST. Tori seemed to be in the best possible spirits last night, and she was participating with the audience a LOT. Her voice sounded the best I've ever heard it, and all the band members were really getting it on last nite. The venue was incredibly tiny, and I had my usual luck of finding the most absolutely perfect seats. Tori was dressed in a little black dress with a low cut backline, and she was drop dead GORGEOUS. She really seemed eager to please us, and god, she did so much more than that... onto the show! Precious Things - What can I say about this song that hasn't been said a million times before? It was INCREDIBLY powerful tonite though, and Tori seemed to be having a good ol' time singing it, especially at the end where she started shrieking "Wash this thing, Daddy, wash it over me!". It was amazing. Downright amazing. Iieee - The best version I've heard yet. She sounded so strong, so beautiful... her voice was gorgeous, crisp, clear... this song BETTER make the live album. It was the best ever. Here she told us this funny story I couldn't make out due to the fact that I was so close to the speakers. She introduced the band, adding when she introduced Matt that "you do NOT want to sit next to this guy in a hotel room..." and she started impersonating a drum "boom boom boom". ;) She got this wicked smile on her face and slid to the end of her piano and started playing, to the crowd's delight... ...Past the Mission! - AMAZING! Sounds AWESOME with the band. This was a TOTAL surprise, and it totally floored the gymnasium. Tori seemed to be having a great time singing it, and we had a fantastic time listening to it. We knew by now that this show was going to be something out of this world... Cruel - Ooooh, I love this! She kept doing the most adorable dances all the way through the song! She seemed to call upon the energy of the crowd for this song, and she sure put it to good use... it was simply amazing. Little Earthquakes - This song was special for a certain reason. Back on Aug. 6, my best guy online friend was diagonsed with AIDS he got from a rape when he was younger (he's only 15 years old...). This is his favourite song, and even though I don't think anyone asked her to play it for me back then, she sang it at that concert. Well... on the sixth of Nov., he got put in the hospital since his stomach is shutting down and they have to stop it... and what does Tori do? She plays LE at THIS concert. It's like she reads my mind or something. I remember crying so hard during the song. It was beautiful. She slipped off the bench once, but she got back up to the sound of us applauding, and she smiled at us and kept on going. Tori was simply wonderful... Siren - Yes! Yes yes yes! I had this secret desire to hear this one, and boom, there it comes! I mean... it's like she plucked it out of nowhere! I couldn't believe what I was hearing until she started singing "and you know you're g-g- g-g-g-gonna lie to you... in your own way...". Beautiful! You could almost see doves soar when she sang "and I know... I know too well....." Incredible. Divine. Then the band left and she told us that the boys are gonna go away for a minute and she's going to do what she feels like... she was "crouched" at the end of the piano, and she started playing, and we all knew what it was in one collective scream... Silent All These Years - Another sentimental favourite. My first Tori song that I really knew who sang it... I heard it a year ago, when I was ready to kill myself, and it came on the radio and... bam... it changed everything. So, of course, hearing this on my last show of the tour (at least this year, lol) was incredibly sweet... the song was GORGEOUS, she seemed to be really getting into it, from the slow, dragged out beginning, to the emotion packed "years go by..." bridge... it was amazing... if I died right then, I'd be the happy phantom, but then again I wouldn't be able to see what happened NEXT... Tori began talking to her fingers a la Daniel in the old Shining movie, and she seemed to be arguing over doing a song or not. Finally, she faced us and told us that she knows this is going to be a huge fuck-up, but she hasn't done this all tour so... and she launched into... ...YES, ANASTASIA!!!! - Oh my gods! This was... oh my gods! I can't get over it! She messed up in the beginning and started again (VERY cute), and in this "it's funny the things that you find in the rain..." part, she accidentally said "left", and went over and did it again. But all in all, it was beautiful beyond words. I encourage everyone to pick up a boot of this show if just for this one song. It was amazing. Beautiful. Astounding. Breath-taking. The boys come back, and they start playing... Black-Dove (January) - GORGEOUS. There needs to be more adjectives, I swear. But how else can I explain the sheer beauty, the power in this song? In the way she played it? The flawlessness of it all? I can't... you would have had to been there to understand... it was amazing... Crucify - My friend (whom I was with)'s favourite... he freaked out so much when she started playing it... GREAT song, she extended the final "chaaaaiiinnnsss....", saying it over and over... this was awesome. I ate it up. :) Tear in Your Hand - I couldn't believe my ears! This was wonderful! I wanted to hear this song so badly, and BAM, there it is! Another flawless performance, by our flawless musician. The Waitress - OH MY GOD. I can describe this song in one word: CRAZY. Tori was all over the place, Steve was, Matt was banging on those drums so hard you think he'd pop a whole in them, and Jon was having a good old time! Tori did a LOT of improv, and the song was INCREDIBLE. Tori leaves to a standing ovation... encore one starts... She's Your Cocaine - This is where the song belongs. In the encores. It was a hard rocker! And right before the "and is it true..." bridge, after the "you don't need one of these to let me inside you" (where she grasped her lower stomach flirtaciously, heehee), they did this 10 second REAL HARD ROCK thing that I think I've heard before but can't place the melody... it was... WOW... and then... touche... here comes Tori's beautiful bridge... ahhh.... lovely lovely lovely... Raspberry Swirl - My friend wanted to hear this one bad but had heard that she doesn't like coming out during the encores. So when this started... well... it anyone saw the blonde boy in the black tori-shirt scream, that was my friend. :) It was amazing! "I am not your senorita... yet...". Yum! I could eat a carton of Tori, and I'd still be on my feet... :) This was incredible! Encore 2 begins... Cornflake Girl - Everyone was swaying back and forth to this, it was so fun! She seemed to be really enjoying herself out there, and we were enjoying it too! But the best was just to come... Tori went to the middle of the stage and told us how great an audience we were, even better than Madison Square Garden (I think she said that at least...). Then she went to her piano and just took my breath away... JACKIE'S STRENGTH - Oh wow... perfect way to end the show... well, it would be if this was the final song, at least. ;) It was beautiful, the echo effect really adds a new dimension to the song... Tori sounded like she was flying... her voice did at least... wow...... two rays of white lights hit the disco balls and put the room ablaze in silver streaks... it was... oh my god... and then... and then..... The band goes away, and since the balls are swirling, we figure Tori is too... but she's not! She grasps her microphone real close and... and... SONG FOR ERIC - Words cannot describe how beautiful this was... what a perfect ending song is was... how perfect her voice was... how flawless... no, words cannot. She seemed to hold on to the last "me..." for 30 seconds, not wanting to let go. We didn't want to let go either. But afterwards, she blew kisses to everyone and waved to everyone, and she exited the stage... All in all, a perfect show. I didn't think it could get better than the 8/6 show. But this beat the shit out of that one. This show... this will be the show of shows... this will be the show I compare everything to from now on... amen Tori... you're a goddess in my eyes... forever. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #392 *************************************
