Santa Brings Down the House in Pittsburgh
I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Mine was fun, but I’m still upset I missed out on viewing a Tori Halloween concert. Apparently, the Pittsburgh show on Oct. 30 was a smashing success. “Santa” opened the show dressed as a sexy angel, and later in the show she changed to red devil horns. Appropriately, “Father Lucifer” made an appearance on the setlist, as did:
Body and Soul
Hoochie Woman
Dragon
Secret Spell
She’s Your Cocaine
You Can Bring Your Dog
Big Wheel
Father Lucifer
Sugar
Cornflake Girl
Putting The Damage On
Caught a Light Sneeze
Mr. Zebra
Silent All These Years
Sister Janet
Digital Ghost
Happy Phantom
Code Red
Precious Things
Bouncing off Clouds
Hey Jupiter
All the crew members were dressed in Halloween costumes and the stage was decorated accordingly with pumpkins and graves. Matt Chamberlain was dressed as Spiderman, Dan Phelps as Flava Flav, and Jon Evans was Dracula. You can read first-hand accounts of the show here. The show can be pre-ordered through Legs and Boots.
Which brings me to a gripe. I have checked out the bootlegs portion of www.ToriAmos.com. My complaint is that the shows are there with a setlist for you to download. But you can’t purchase individual songs (say, like you could on itunes) or even preview what any of the songs sound like before you purchase. That makes me hesitant to shell out $9.99 or $14.99 for the whole set, and I’m wondering if other fans are put off by this as well. I’d love to hear from any fans who have gone ahead, bit the bullet, and ordered one of the bootlegs. How was the sound quality? Were you pleased with your purchase?

[...] “Santa” is a popular lady these days. She opened the first of two shows last night in Chicago at the Auditorium Theatre. Highlights of the show included “She’s Your Cocaine,” “Your Cloud,” and the debut of “Raspberry Swirl,” which the crowd greatly appreciated. She included one of her famous improves that paid homage to Hillary Clinton. Fans were a little disappointed that the show ended after only one encore, but one fan on Undented mentioned that they think the auditorium has a strict time limit of ending all shows on “school nights” promptly at 10:30 p.m. So either the curfew, or the fact that she flubbed up “Hotel,” were deciding factors on ending the show early. Here’s the rest of the setlist. Can’t wait to see what she plays at tonight’s second Chicago show! [...]

[...] And we can instantly download bootleg recordings of the “American Doll Posse” shows at Legs and Boots, instead of having to wait for some questionable quality mp3s to turn up [...]

[...] “Santa” opened up the West Palm Beach show on Nov. 21. As usual, she produced an exciting opening act with “Body and Soul” and “She’s Your Cocaine,” and preceded the costume change portion with the sexy “Raspberry Swirl.” Highlights of the show were tour debuts of “Amazing Grace,” “Gold Dust,” and “Josephine.” Tori’s parents were in the audience and she seemed to play a lot of songs geared towards them. Here’s the full setlist: [...]
