Tori Amos

Oeee my first post! Ok, the first thing I wanna talk about is last sunday. I went to a Tori Amos concert for the second time, and it was great! AGAIN! There were only two things I didn't like about it: no. 1. I was standing at the first(!) row, but she had a new piano and the edge was a bit too high, so most of the time I couldn't see her face and had to stare at her (glittering) crotch. no. 2. Outside the Heineken Music Hall there were a lot of fans who seemed very calm and nice. When the doors opened they turned into evil monsters! I've been hit a couple of times, and got pushed around a lot. Luckely I can be a fast sprinter and someone opened another door which wasn't supposed to be open yet and we were at the first row for a while before the other people even got to enter the concert hall. Those people were really mean, I barely got to move my feet and everyone was pushing. I had every right to stand there, cuz we had been in front of the HMH since 2 PM!
The support act was great by the way! A guy with a violin and a guy with a stand up bass and a guy who played the drums.
Tori came in a bit too late, but that was totally okay, since she was supposed to stop playing at 10.45 PM but she stopped at 11.30 PM!
She first appeared as Pip! Which was great, cuz she's my favorite Posse member! Before she appeared on the stage a lot of fans were yelling PIP PIP PIP!
She was so hot in her rubber pants, drooling all over her mike. She's totally Tori's dark and, especially her, sexual side! The intro was Teenage Hustling, followed by my favorite Tori song: Bliss!


Fat Slut was really good as well, she was lying on the floor. Very cool!
After Body and Soul she went away and the band played Professional Widdow, and she returned as... Tori herself! She started to play Big Wheel and she looked so happy in her glittering pink catsuit! After a few songs she improvised this really cool song about drinking Heineken while playing piano and falling off her stool and about her piano who just stopped smoking and now she had to wear patches although it looked really sexy on her. God I loved that song! It really amazed me.
It was a really amazing playlist. I promised a friend of mine I would only cry during Tear In Your Hand (last time seeing Tori, I cried during the whole concert, I'm such a wuss!) and I cried a single tear during that song! (Although Winter also brought tears to my eyes, but they didn't really came out of my eyes.)
I also loved the lighting, with all the little stars! Wow it was amaaaazing! Too bad we didn't get to talk to her afterwards, but it was way too crowded anyway and we had to catch our train. A boy Leonie knows did get Tori to sign her tourbook!
I also loved the fact that Leonie was totally overwhelmed by Tori playing live! It was one of the best nights I had in a while... :)

I'm totally going again next time! I'll post pics as soon as I find them! I found these pictures on Here In My Head.com.
