Tori Amos

Tori is scheduled to perform on Chicago radio station WXRT 93.1 FM at 10:30 a.m. this morning. Even if you’re not in Chicago you can go to the website to tune in live.

“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!

I recently came across an interesting interview with Tori that was featured on Blender.com back in October. Tori talks a little about how she developed the concept for the American Doll Posse album. The video is very well-edited, with footage from shows and the ADP photo shoot interspersed with her interview.
