I will do my little Tori review right now while it's still fresh in my mind. Then I must must must fill out my checks for the taxes of dhûm and then I'll be crashing in bed.

So morricone1900 was absolutely right. It was all about the Tori, the Piano, and the Organ. She was wearing this very flouncy floaty dress over black bicycle shorts. She referenced last year's concert and mentioned the blackout, and said that every time she comes to Detroit something "naughty" happens, which was amusing.

She was very good, as always, but I am not a fan of Tori w/piano, I like Tori electronica, so it wasn't the best experience. Last year's concert was amazing for me, while this one was just very good. That doesn't mean bad! It just means that it wasn't all my cup of tea.

Songs played? Hmm...I really have to concentrate here.

Highlights for me included Bells for Her, Spring Haze, Jamaica Inn and Blood Roses. And Rattlesnakes was an encore song. Plus a song about living next to Abbey Road that I've never heard before. Icicle.

Other songs she played? Jackie's Strength, which I really don't like much. Songs from Boys for Pele...Not the Red Baron, and Horses. Snow Cherries from France, from her Greatest Hits album. Leather. Lots of stuff (at least four) from the Beekeeper, including the aforementioned Jamaica Inn and Mother Revolution. The second encore included Silent All These Years, another song I don't care for at all.

Bizarrely enough, the song I love most off Beekeeper, the title track, was played in the first encore, and it was almost a funeral dirge. It was so slow and ponderous that I just wanted it to finish already. It was really monotonous and not very enjoyable. And I love that song most from that album.

She played two covers during "Tori's Piano Bar". She played Bob Seger's "Turn the Page", after looking through "local boys and girls" and commenting that "No, I don't want to do her, fuck her. I've done her" which I assume is in reference to Madonna, who is from Michigan. She also played a Beatles song...what is it...Penny lane or whatever the title is. Both were quite good.

The audience was weird. Some people were yelling a lot at her. She kept trying to talk and kept getting interrupted.

We ended up in box seats somehow, which was nice. There was a guy in the box seats in the middle who kept shouty mcshouting to his friends and I really wanted them to gang up and throw him off the balcony.

All in all, an enjoyable experience. I love her. Now the taxes, and then bed. so tired

I slept decently...will sleep better over the weekend, I think. I have a little craft show in someone's home tonight, and was obsessing over it and taxes as I was trying to sleep...
