Tori Amos Concert!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I had the great opportunity to see Tori Amos live at the Atlanta Symphony Hall last night. It was one of the most phenomenal shows I've ever seen...Tori does a different set every night, so I didn't know what to expect..and she really did pull out some obscurities.. She barely played any of the "hits", which was ok. To my surprise and delight she performed LANDSLIDE, which she hasn't done yet on this tour..

During LANDSLIDE about 1 min into the song, some drunk lady who had been heckling all night was blurting things out, and laughing and screaming...and Tori stopped the song and said "HEY! The Motley Crew concert is across the street, ok???" lol then she started over...

She has a very good, and devoted crowd...and she was VERY into it, as she usually is from what I've seen...She wore a long white chiffon dress, much like the dress Stevie wore on the Bella Donna album cover..

Here's the set list :

Original Sinsuality
Blood Roses
Past The Mission
Sleeps With Butterflies
Cooling
The Power of Orange Knickers
The Doughnut Song

--She said a man from Atlanta had requested RocketMan, and she loved the song because when she was younger playing in bars, after the show was over, her brother would always ask her to play that song, while he ordered a beer...so she said it was special to her...she said she also got a request for GEORGIA ON MY MIND, but she thought it would be too cliche to play it in Georgia, lol..but she did play a few chords of it...before saying "just kidding."
One of my favorites "BLOOD ROSES" was a true highlight, as well as the songs from the NEW CD which I have grown to love..it was truly a great night...
She rotated between 2 pianos, and a B3 Organ (which at times sounded very evil, lol) and would play the piano and organ at the same time sometimes, or jump back and forth...

Atlanta Symphony Hall is a magnificent hall, seating only about 2000, and there was not an empty seat..great night!
