It felt great to have this leg of the tour underway at last. Either Tori felt the same way, or perhaps something else had made her especially happy, because she seemed to be in a tremendously good mood and she smiled radiantly and frequently throughout the show. As you could imagine, there was no shortage of smiles in the audience as well. Marymoor Park was a great setting: lots of trees and grass and open space. The weather cooperated too, which, this being the Pacific Northwest and all, wasn't necessarily a given. Contrary to pre-show speculation, Tori stuck to the Wampum Prayer/ASF set opening combo and she also kept ICSNY in the "second-to-last of the main set" position. Precious Things appears to have succeeded Iieee as the main set closer. The big surprise of the evening was Upside Down with the band. It worked perfectly, like a little clock, and was an absolute joy to hear. Well, that and then there was the other surprise: the cover of "Song From Half Mountain" by Dan Fogelberg. Until today I had never heard this song, or even of it (which, by the way, didn't seem to be a rare condition this evening), but Tori's rendition tonight was flat-out gorgeous. All-in-all a very satisfying, well-paced set complete with enough treats to send everyone home happy. Tori played beautifully and her voice was gloriously mesmerizing and magical. If I have any reason to complain at all it would have to be the notable lack of OSW songs. Predictable ones aside (WP, ASF, Wednesday, ICSNY), there was really only one OSW tune all night (Amber Waves). I would have liked to have heard more. (Of course, I would have liked to have heard more pre-OSW songs too, so the obvious solution would have been, oh, say a three hour set instead of a two hour set. But now I'm clearly just whining.) - -- - - Brian Tanaka - - LiveLists: http://livelists.dyndns.org - - Thunder Wishes, Fire Thought: http://www.well.com/~btanaka/tori "think of me as a librarian from a different dimension" -- Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 01:23:20 EDT From: ToriVolta@aol.com Subject: Attention all Howie Day Fans! I recently went to Howie's site to check him out cuz I've never heard his music, and only heard about him through you guys. Anyway, my point is, that while on his site, I noticed that he is up for some awards through the Boston Music Awards. He is nominated for Best Debut Album and Best Male Vocalist. You can vote for him at www.bostonmucicawards.com . Some of you may already have known this, but for those who haven't- GO VOTE! Peace Out, Amanda ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 14:05:16 EDT From: MaynardsSpiral@aol.com Subject: Re: Tori in Vegas wow i cant believe how long it took this post to come up, i emailed Precious Things with this email a long ass time ago and its barley getting sent out!!!!???

Kinda off topic...but here I go anyway! :-) I would really like to get my hands on some of his live music, as heard during his Tori concerts. You know, with his little foot-operated loop-thing machine. I like his CD Australia, but what I really want is the live stuff. Thanks in advance! Tony What's more likely? That an all-powerful mysterious god created the universe and then decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that he simply doesn't exist at all? And that we created him so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone. -Eleanor Arroway, Contact ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V8 #178 *************************************
