So I saw the concert last night. Tori usually tours by herself or with a band. I infinitely prefer Tori with the band; in fact, I think I've made up my mind never to go to another Tori-with-a-piano tour. Thankfully, this show was with her band (and an extra guitarist, w00t!), so that rocked.
( Setlist & my thoughts )There was an empty seat to my left because my sister felt sick and didn't go. Two girls were sitting to the left of that seat, and one of them kept howling. Seriously, she sounded like a deranged pirate trapped in a girl's body. Most people say, "Whoo!" in a higher-pitched voice--she was shouting, "YEAAAAAHHHHHH" and "UHHHHHHH" in a deep-throated, truly bizarre manner. It was so loud that I kept having to put my hand over my left ear. In fact, when I left, the hearing in my left ear was noticeably affected--she was
that loud. What a nightmare.
Well, I never even thought about it, but the people in front of her were really getting the brunt of it, and the people sitting in front of me finally asked them if they wanted to move over. So everyone moved over.
The people behind the stupid twosome kept asking them to sit down--they were the only people standing and dancing in the whole theatre at the time--and the girls shouted, "YOU stand UP!" Which didn't go over well.
Finally they seemed to get the message and sat down, right around T & Bö. They did manage to crack me up during "Cornflake Girl" because Tori was gesturing to the audience to fill in the words "golden gun" (from the line "and the man with the golden gun," which she repeats), and the pirate-infested-girl was singing--er,
screaming, no lie--some sort of crazy verbal mess that seemed to contain a few of the words from that line, but not all.
All in all, a very mixed concert. I'm still disappointed about "Black Dove." I'll get over it, though. ;)
