Anyhoo, I walked into the Cupertino shop in the middle of STRANGE. ? Strange? They were like, "what can i get you? ... umm, ma'am?" as my finger was raised in a "just a minute" pose while I closed my eyes and sang the entire song, then ordered my sandwich, minus the onions. Don't worry, no one else was in the place, so i only annoyed the employee with my singing, and i could tell he was more put off by having to wait than not hearing tori's voice. turns out it was a digital radio station. right after Strange, played, "Video killed the Radio Star". Yeah, I didn't get it, either. stuff, micah "blade to ice, it's double diamond time" -tori amos "i've shaved everyplace where you've been, boy" -also tori "free thinkers are dangerous" -system of a down there's this guy on the san fran local news named Spencer Christian, and everytime they introduce him, i start singing, "Sister christian oh the time has come, don't you know that you're the only one to say... okay" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 17:46:12 -0500 From: noam tchotchke Subject: omaha world-herald concert review thanks to david mobley for pointing this out! Published Tuesday March 25, 2003 Review: Amos woos Orpheum audience BY CHRISTINE LAUE WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER Tori Amos' voice cut through the pre-show crowd chatter, causing screams and applause as audience members turned their eyes to a curtain glowing in orange and pink lights. Flawlessly, she sang the a cappella "Wampum Prayer" from her new album, "Scarlet's Walk," before the curtain opened and she walked onstage, sultry and confident, dancing and cozying up to her shiny black Bosendorfer piano like it was a guy at a bar. When her fingers first touched the keys, the crowd could feel the electricity between the singer-songwriter and her instrument, and it erupted in screams again. Wearing a flowing wrap dress covered with deep mauve, brown and cream diamonds over shiny denim-blue capris, Amos played "A Sorta Fairytale," the first single from "Scarlet's Walk." As her fingers and voice painted a picture of Scarlet and a lover riding in a car, she dropped her head and shoulders back, singing: "I put the hood right back where you could taste heaven perfectly." For a sold-out crowd of 2,600 people, Monday night in the Orpheum Theater was a perfect taste of heaven in all her red-haired glory. Amos' 1992 debut, "Little Earthquakes," began cultivating the cult following that has helped her sell more than 12 million albums and sell out shows with fans like Missy King, who drove from Chicago to Omaha for the fifth of seven consecutive concerts she and friends are attending. "She's incredible," King, 22, said. "There's no words for it." Some found them, shouting: "I love you, Tori!" "Love you back!" Amos said quickly before launching into a four-song set in which her band exited, leaving her alone with her piano. The set included "Silent All These Years," a "Little Earthquakes" song that, like much of her older material, elicited the biggest cheers of the night. With her band, Amos performed "Crucify," another "Little Earthquakes" song, as she rhythmically repeated the line "I am never going back again to crucify myself." She spent most of the night between her piano and keyboards like a cook working the line, turning her back to one as she played the other, or playing the piano with one hand, the keyboards with the other. Back and forth, she worked for two hours - 19 songs plus two encores of two songs each. Opening act Rhett Miller, who is touring as a solo artist as his alt-country band the Old 97's takes a break, won the crowd over - a tough task for an acoustic act in a big hall. By belting out his smart-pop solo and Old 97's songs and rocking out like an 8-year-old with a toy guitar, Miller impressed fans and proved that acoustic acts are not always subdued. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 19:57:50 EST From: Stardust21x@aol.com Subject: Re: tori sighting I heard Your Cloud in Home Depot the other day. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 20:25:48 -0500 From: Cyndi S Crawford Subject: Re: tori sighting >I heard Your Cloud in Home Depot the other day.< holy crap.. there? sweet!
