A few of you have asked me if I'm looking forward to the Tori Amos concert on November 2nd in a couple of weeks and yeah I am... Looking forward to the bootleg, but I've changed my mind about actually attending the Royal Albert Hall concert. I have mixed feelings about this and I know I'll regret not going at some point, but for now I do think it's for the best. Tori hasn't played 'Hey Jupiter' on the NOH Tour yet but you just KNOW that Biatch is saving it for the Royal Albert Hall when I should have been there. If she plays Hey Jupiter (my all time favourite song) it will be a further kick in the teeth for sure.
When I went to see her in 2009 with Kate and Joe I was PRAYING she'd play Jupiter (just for me.) and it would have seriously made my LIFE complete had she tinkled the ivories with that tune that night, but she didn't. It wasn't missed though, she played a really cool setlist on the night and I recall bawling my eyes out during 'Winter'. So weird to actually be in the same room as Tori alongside two of my best friends when I never EVER thought I would be able to go to one of her concerts. I still think even now that going to that concert at the Hammersmith Apollo was the best day of my entire life and I'll never forget a second of it.
You probably think I'm stupid for not going this time when I'd already bought a ticket and there's nothing to physically stop me getting on a train and going to London but I just feel it's too much since my friendship with Joe ended and we should have been going to London together. It makes sense to just leave it altogether rather than sit next to an empty seat that he would have been in and have that override the actual joy of being at the concert, and I'm 100% sure it would have, regardless of how much of a good time I was having or whoever went in his place. (He isn't going either so I guess we both miss out.)
So yeah, for the first time in my life I'm really hoping that Tori DOESN'T play Hey Jupiter on November 2nd. I hope it'll be a fantastic concert for those who are going though and I hope Tori plays ALL the songs you're hoping for. (Please DON'T play 'Cooling' either Tori, I'm sure Kate won't be happy if you do. haha)
I bet she does play Cooling. She always does in London! *yawns* I want Bachelorette. She played it in Russia - first time it's had an airing in years!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not looking forward to either of the two concerts. The sets lists have been beyond shit and she appears to be wearing curtains night after night!
ReplyDeleteSome of the songs she's been playing I've adored. Suede/Cruel were really cool with the Quartet. There have been quite a few I've not bothered listening to though. She's played Suede alot and I do ADORE that song. Spark was something else high up on my 'wish list' too. YAY for YouTube/Bootlegs.
ReplyDeleteThe cover she did of 'Take On Me' by AHA was GREAT. Although spoilt by the constant audience clapping. WHY THE FUCK DO THEY CLAP LIKE TWATS THROUGH SONGS LIKE THAT!?!?! It totally ruins it, even more so when they're not even in tune.
