Sinful Attraction
So... I've had an interesting summer so far. I went to the Oregon coast for a week (I probably already said that before) and then my friend Amber came and stayed here for a week so we showed her around Seattle and stuff (she's from CT). And afterwords I went to stay with her. I got to go to NYC other places which I will most likely write about in another badly written blog post sometime soon.
I definitely have said all that before
But due to lack of time and motivation (mostly lack of motivation) I'm just going to post pictures from the Tori Amos concert that Amber and I went to. Maybe when I have a moment I'll upload some others from the past few weeks... but for now, just these:
Tori was amazing. The setlist was amazing. The whole show was amazing. Just amazing. I have an amazing vocabulary too.
I guess I might as well mention that this was my third time seeing her live... but only the first time it actually meant anything to me. As a 10 year old, there was nothing for me to find in her music. She was just a pianist who's concerts I went to so I could stay up late on a school night. But now as a teenage girl who has a great appreciation for good music ;) and can relate to her songs, it was a completely different experience. An experience I hope I can have again in the future, because the concerts I went to in the past were definitely wasted on me.
Anyway...
She "wore green for the emerald city" and was in this interesting pose for most of the show (:
intense hair flip
I have no idea what picture corresponds to what song, but I know for a fact that this was Past The Mission (sadly, with no suprise guest appearance by TR ):
At some point during the show (somewhere near the end) she forgot the lyrics. "oh, fuck the lyrics". Only Tori (:
I did enjoy hearing the new songs live, but my favourites that she played were Precious Things, Bliss, and Icicle. She also made me fall in love with Sugar after playing it that night.
The merch was pretty cool too. I got a Maybe California shirt.
And now you get to hear my little rant: I took videos at the concert. I was really excited because this was the first show of the tour and everyone was dying to see what would happen. But since my shitty little camera is old and shitty the sound quality (well... the overall quality) turned out really shitty so the videos suck. Some d00d Robert Schrader took all the youtube glory by taping the entire show and providing the world with flawless footage. Haha... not trying to pick on you. Just jealous ;D Go watch his videos.
But if anyone is interested in my videos (hah, if only I had posted this a week or two earlier when people actually still CARED), well.. here's:
Big Wheel
Welcome To England
And a video I put together from clips of most of the show.
I think that's all the babbling that needed to be done... Congratulations! Go home now!
