Tori in NYC

[Michael Bowman <mbowman@andromeda.rutgers.edu>]

Well, I went to Tori Amos' concert in NYC last night.  

She was stunning!  I thought that her voice was a bit rough on the first 2
songs but once she warmed up it was astounding.  She played a grand piano (or
maybe it was a baby grand) and used a microphone (turned up a little loud, I
thought). 

The house was packed, with 2-3 dozen people standing since there were no more
seats.  

She played 12 or 13 songs, 8 from the album & 4 covers.  She introduced 4 or
5 songs otherwise she went straight from one to the other.  The crowd was
very enthusiastic.

A note:  the entire performance was filmed for ABC's In Concert.  I don't
know when it will air.

It's definitely worth going to see her perform, I liked the songs better live
than on the album, the piano only arrangement worked quite well.
