“Welcome to my world…”

This past Tuesday I went to see Tori Amos for the 10th time and man can she still play like a banshee up there! It was awesome, absolutely awesome. Here’s a picture I found from livenloudmagazine.com

I did have 2 complaints though, 1) she didn’t play anything off of my favourite album of hers and 2) she played one song called Police Me and to be honest, I’m not sure she should play that live, ever. Her vocals were just all over the place. I mean the whole place was full of energy and everything, then she plays this song, which is faster and should have kept the energy up but it just didn’t. It was quite sad. Plus if you see her up close, she’s had some work done and it just ruins her, she looks like a puffy Hollywood loser. But I digress… the show was just awesome, maybe one of my favourites.

I can’t say enough about how awesome the audience was at this show; they were totally into it and she was definitely feeding off of that energy. This may have been the happiest I’ve ever seen her; she wasn’t as intense but instead just in the moment. I cannot wait for her to come back and I hope she keeps playing these smaller theatres because it creates a much better atmosphere and a much better show.

Security was pretty tight so taking pictures and filming anything was a big challenge. I found this one video on youtube from astrodaks; it’s pretty good and this song was really good live.
