Subject: '97 Bonnie and Clyde sung live

Hi everybody,

for me, the show in Berlin (December 9) was the most extreme example that
prove that Tori sings live from backstage.

Tori had brought a severe cold back from England with her and the show
started with the scariest version of '97 Bonnie and Clyde that I have
experienced. It sounded like Tori was almost crying. I did not always pay
maximum attention during the song in expectation of the wonderful shows, but
in Berlin I was totally drawn into Tori's performance. That night, it was
one of the most memorable parts of the show for me. Either Tori was simply
playing the character extremely intensely that day or she was really not
feeling well at all and really fighting in order to get ready for the show.
When I heard it, I thought that she might have been struggling so much that
until the last minute she may have thought about actually cancelling that
show. I was just hoping that she would come out allright and I have to say
that her performance was very very brave that night. When she ended with
Somewhere Over The Rainbow and hit the high notes at the very end perfectly,
I was very impressed with how she had managed to deliver another brilliant
performance given that she clearly did not feel well.

If there will be a recording of the Berlin show, this particular performance
of '97 Bonnie and Clyde will be worthwhile listening to. I do not think that
she has done it like this on any other night.

Everybody enjoy your lives,
					Eric (with a 'c')
