Okay, so I just got back from the Deer Creek (Indianapolis) show and I figured I'd throw out my 2 cents on the night. First of all it all started out to be a very bad day. I was suppose to goto the show with my sister, but we got into a huge fight, so I let my mother use the other ticket. Then upon arriving at the venue, we get into an accident! This chic rammed right into the girl behind us, who then rammed into us. (For those that were there, you might have seen us... a little purple Ford Escort in front of the other two smashed cars.) So the police came and all that jazz took like an extra 40 minutes. (It's a damn good thing I got there early!) Finally, I'm in the venue and after being patted down at the front gate, I went straight for the merchandise. Almost everything was sold out at the first booth, so I had to head down to another to get my stuff. I spent $72 on 2 venus necklaces, a keychain, program, and tshirt. Geez! So then I headed to my seat, which was an awesome view. Section B, row S, seat 25. There was this really cool guy from Ohio there. I didn't catch his name, but he was really nice to talk to. (Hey "Boys For Pele" guy... if you're out there... drop me a line!!!) After much wait, Ray Lane came out. He was pretty good on the guitar and had a nice smooth voice, but he completely screwed up his greeting. He thought he was in Ohio... silly boy! So that was kind of funny... then, finally... the goddess! I'm sure people have probably already posted the setlist, but just in case... here it is; accurate, I'm sure: God Sugar Juarez Past The Mission Crucify Bliss Putting the Damage On (solo) Never Seen Blue (solo) Concertina Hotel Professional Widow The Waitress Precious Things (encore) I have to say I was completely intrigued. This was only my 2nd Tori concert ever, so maybe I'm a bit nieve, but hell she rocked the cornfields! She came out in full force with "God" and I loved the new sound of "Sugar". I didn't recognize "Juarez", because I had never heard it before, but it was still awesome. I'm pretty sure there was a new intro type thing to "Past the Mission" maybe? It was somewhere in there and I didn't recognize it until she got into the song. The revamped "Crucify" and "Bliss" just go perfect back to back. Her secret time was so awesome, I cried during "Putting the Damage On"... it was so beautiful. "Never Seen Blue" was also great! Umm, lets see... ohh I was surprised to hear "Hotel" but it had a whole new vibe to it. Everybody jammed during "Pro Widow", "Waitress", and of course "PT". I was really sad to see that it ended so soon, but it was an awesome performance. I took like 60 some pictures, so I hope a few good ones come out. I have to say I was somewhat pissed at the people who kept on coming in and out during the performance. I don't know how many times I had to move over for somebody. Rude much! But all in all it was a great night, despite the preshow happenings! Ohh yeah and I got to meet & talk to Ray Lanes... the MP3 opener. He's really cool... y'all show definately stop by his booth and give him a gander. I bought his cd, which I'm listening to right now and it's really good. He also autographed it for me, along with a promo pic. Great guy!!! If any "care to share" traders are out there... and got the Indy show, please hit me off, because obtaining a copy of this show is *extremely* important to me! Thanks!!!

I am having a hard time understanding this "friction" between Tori's fans and Alanis' fans. It really seems to me like a lot of people have the opinion that Alanis' fans are second class in comparison to Tori's fans. I have heard a lot of name-calling about Alanis and her fans from Tori's fans. I am trying to understand what the point is....I mean, I'm sure that the same thing is going on from the other side of the fence, but it seems dumb to me that the fans of two COMPLETELY different artists should be able to respect the other artist even if it's not their favorite style of music or their favorite singer. It seems like grown people could show a little more maturity than yelling in the middle of concerts or getting up and leaving like "she's not worthy of my time". I think that if Tori has chosen to be on tour with Alanis (or anyone else) that her fans should take a second look and realize that if Tori thinks she's worthy, shouldn't the fans as well? Just my opinion......

And if you have some older (well, from the DDI era) live versions of the song, several times she incorporates the lyrics that are sung in the background of the song into the live version either as an intro or an interlude. From hearing those live recordings of the song, the lyrics of the words in the background are as I make them out: "You can tell me it's over and it's over You can tell me over, over your shoulder You can tell me it's over over and over Come in Houston." They always rip me up, too - I love this song. and then I think that the first two lines only are repeated later on in the song once And speaking of misheard lyrics - what about that wonderful part in Father Lucifer? I can only make out one of the lines of song - and that's only because that's the one written up in the lyrics!!

I am having a hard time understanding this "friction" between Tori's fans and Alanis' fans. >> ummm hello ... because I have been to the shows ... this tour and every other tour (except le) that tori has done. I noticed a distinct difference in the audience when alanis came on ... many of the tori-people just left ... and all of the people around me when tori was on were nice civilized, educated people and then the people around me (alot of people gave their good seats to alanis fans since they were leaving anyway )were all rowdy, loud, drinking and drunk and significantly less intelligent. I'm not assuming anything ... I observed this. I personally have nothing against alanis morrisette or her fans in general (I actually know quite a few people who are fans of hers and they are really cool people ... I am just making an observation of what I saw and a comparison to the old tori shows) <> nooo, if tori thinks that drinking cyanide is fun ... should we?? :P Just because tori likes something or respects it doesn't mean that we have to bow down and comply. I stuck around and watched alanis (for most of the set, we left a little early because we wanted to beat the traffic). We should respect alanis if we chose to stick around for her and not yell things like TORI! during the middle of a song ... but thats about it. If you feel that you can't even be that civil then leave. It frees up better seats for people who will undoubtedly enjoy them better. And if you really feel lilke being a good samaritan ... trek your way up to the high high seats during intermission (this is if you have really good seats) and find somebody wearing an alanis shirt and give them your kick ass tickets ... now thats respecting alanis' fans!! :) kisses, joanne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 18:51:13 -0500 From: "Joshua Meier" Subject: tour program Just an interesting tidbit (in case we didn't know) The setlist on page 4 of the tour program is from the Nov. 6th, Pennsylvania, PA show at the Civic Arena.

JUMP Magazine I know what Vicki means by this. In my town we have no good radio stations, instead we have about 10 country stations, and one pop station. We also have the ickiest classic rock station, which really is disgusting, but I'm rambling again, so back to the subject. The pop station has this show called the 'rate at eight' where they play a new song and people call in to rate it. When they did this, Tori got a two. I heard a few of the comments, and it was easy to see why Tori got only a two: one caller, a stereotypical teenager girl (y'know, giggley, a bit unintellegent, thinks the Backstreet Boys are the most talented group of singers... the kind that give the rest of us a bad name) called in and gave the song "like, a one" because Tori has a "kinda weird voice"... I guess my point is, I don't think that those people (teen magazines and boy-band fans) have the intellegence and maturity to understand what Tori is all about. I think that it's kinda special... I don't know... like Tori's our special faerie, and while others can't understand what she's all about, we know, and we love her and stuff. Sorry if this makes no sense... I seem to have lost all ability to articulate over the summer! Liz PS. On a totally unrelated note, is anyone going to the Sept. 16 concert in Mineapolis? I was going to go, but my parents are doing the 'it's a school night' thing. If anyone's going, I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail me with a list of the songs that she sang, and any cute Tori-isms from it... Thanks!

I really don't want to flat out insult these magazines, but I can't help but to believe them to be incredibly immature and flakey now. It's as though I could hear this perky, plastic "yippee!" girly voice in my head as I was reading what they wrote about LE in their issue. Does anyone else notice this? Or feel that way? Or am I the only one that was just a little irked by the way they talked about Me and A Gun. I felt like they were making Tori sound like a girl-power-feminist. Actually, I think these magazines promote, in general, sexism and feminism instead of female individuality or actual intellect aboutthe woes of growing up.

I showed up at 2 o'clock for meet'n'greet, and there really were only about 60-someodd people there. So we all rushed over (I ended up second row **YAY**) and were dying of the heat. I can say, and everyone would agree with me, that the security/staff that worked the meet'n'greet were FABULOUS. They treated us all very well, brought us water, and even sprayed us off when it was wayhot. They were a great group of people. The meet'n'greet itself went really well. Tori spent quite a bit of time, probably about 35-40 minutes out with us. There were some great questions asked, and everything that came out of tori's mouth totally reaffirmed every notion I have about how wonderful she truly is. So the meet'n'greet was a success. hands down. On to the show - once again, fabulous staff and security. tori's set hadn't started yet, and we had already rushed the stage, and no one made us mov! ! e. It was nice. They just let us do our thing. It was great. here's the setlist: God Sugar Juarez Past the Mission Crucify (with that kick-ass new thing it has going on) Bliss Then, the kicker - Putting The Damage On SOLO. It was brilliant. She even added lyrics for a 4th verse, and it was...wow. I had been having issues with boys, and tori just...she never ceases to amaze me. She put everything in that verse I needed to hear to get me back on my feet. Never Seen Blue Concertina Hotel (another nice touch) Professional Widow Waitress Precious Things She was just amazing. She just knew what to do. it was...yeah. just, yeah. So if anybody know of how I can obtain a boot of this show, because I SOOOOOOO need it, please email me privately.
