Subject: Tori "review" pt 1

My friend Chad who went to the Tori show with me (the same one
who's trying to get signed on here) posted this review on another
list that he's on and asked me to post it here. (My comments
will follow) Here goes:
Well, Kevin and I went to the Tori Amos concert on Friday in
Columbus, OH. The opening act was E. I'm not very familiar with him
(I'd heard *one* of his songs before...), but he was good. He had
two guys on stage with him (Parthenon Huxley and another guy who
looked kinda like Warren Zevon but wasn't...) and they played for
a relatively short amount of time. It was good and he did do the
song I'd heard which was cool as well as expected. He also at one
point said that they'd stopped broadcasting on the radio and
proceeded to say "fuck" which was great and would've been even
better if they *hadn't* stopped broadcasting (anyone know if they
did/didn't????). Tori Amos came out to the applause of everyone
wearing what looked like a swimsuit (does anyone else agree that
went????) and jeans. She had a real piano (Yeah!!!!) and this is
the play list:
Little Earthquakes
Crucify
Silent All These Years
Precious Things
Happy Phantom
Leather
Whole Lotta Love
Me and a Gun
Winter
------
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Mother
------
Tear in Your Hand
Angie
After Crucify / before Silent All These Years, she told us that she
hated her grandmother and that in her home town, they wouldn't play
Silent All These Years because it was "shit" (Can you believe Tori
actually said that???? :). She had to interrupt Happy Phantom
because there was *way* too much noise, including knocking down
beer bottles and "woo"-ing at inappropriate times. During Me and a
Gun, I heard two beer bottles being knocked over and Kevin heard
three... In other words, Tori was great, but parts of the audience
sucked hard and Tori was NOT happy with it, neither was I or anyone
I else I know that was there... Anyway, like I said Tori was
excellent and I'm glad I finally got to see her live... Oh yeah,
almost forgot the best part... We got to meet her!!!! Yeah!!!! :).
We went to Camelot before the show and were five people back when
they cut the line... *sniff*, but we stayed after the show and met
her then!!!! Yeah again!!!! :). I got her autograph on the cover of
the Little Earthquakes disc and I'm so happy... Can't you tell????
:). Well, I think that's it. Kevin, if you have anything to add...
:).
BTW, there were flyers there that have information on the official
Tori Amos Fan Club. If you send them in (I assume that handwritten
ones are accepted...) before Oct. 1, 1992, you are entered into a
drawing in which you can win a complete Tori Amos catalog
(including imports!!!!) and a framed autographed poster. The info
it asks for follows:
