Tori Amos

“Isabel” opened the Nov. 17 show in Ft. Myers, Fla. The setlist included the second tour performance of “Mountain,” which I’m sure fans appreciated, as well as a number of song’s from “Scarlet’s Walk.” I thought it was interesting that during “Isabel’s” set, she only played one song off “ADP,” which was opener “Yo George.” The rest of her set included some politically charged numbers like “Sweet Dreams,” but “Isabel” must not have been feeling like playing some of the recent numbers like “Dark Side of the Sun.” Very interesting indeed. Here’s the full setlist:

In other news related to the Ft. Myers show, this article, written by Charles Runnells of the Southwestern Florida newspaper News-Press, previews the Nov. 17 show in Ft. Myers. It is a must-read, as it includes an interview the reporter had with Tori back before the Buffalo show back in October. Among the revelations in the article: some of the Australian fans didn’t realize the person opening Tori’s show was Tori herself dressed up as one of the Doll Posse (huh??), and the chorus to “Big Wheel” came to her “in a dream.”

Today, the same reporter published his review of the show on the newspaper’s website. While not a big fan of opener, Isabel, whom he thought was a little on the boring side, he happily writes that Tori came out and “rocked the house.” Read full review here.
