My original review of the show:
"God" = She started singing from back stage as the band ran out and started playing. The piano was very loud (a good thing) and so was her voice. She wasn't drowned out. It was awesome. She did not do the "you dropped the bomb on me jesus" line, but it was still amazing.
"Sugar" = I was so hoping for this one. I recognized it immediately and was way too happy. I love the ending when she just sings very high. It was beautiful.
"Juarez" = I couldn't really hear this song too well (the singing, anyway). There was not much piano, but a lot of keyboard. I loved the "no angel came" line. Yummy!
"Cornflake Girl" = Tori introduced this one as "this one's for any girls who want to kill their girlfriend" (something like that). Scrumptious!
"Bliss" = I love this song, from the moment I first heard it. It's wonderful recorded, but even better live. I love the "four horse engine" part!
"Cruel" = I was not expecting this one at all. I couldn't remember if I'd seen it in the other setlists. Anyway, it was really good. I like what she does in the middle of the song. I have no idea what she's saying, but it's beautiful none the less.
"Angie" = She said something before this, but I forgot what (sorry). It was gorgeous!
"Winter" = Another one I was not expecting. She dedicated it to Nicole, a girl who apparently couldn't make it the show. Toward the beginning, I assume roudy assholes were screaming not so nice things, so Tori got really pissed and yelled "Hey guys, eat my pussy! Look, shut up or show me your dicks!" She then started the song over again. It was really cool that she told them off. The song was beautiful, but I just wasn't expecting that outburst, so I was just in awe!
"Suede" = The band came back again and they played this one. I'm sorry, but I don't really remember this one. I know she played both the keyboard and the piano (more keyboard I believe). I remember liking it though. :)
"Professional Widow" = This one I was hoping for, but didn't recognize at first. It was great! The whole thing just rocked.
"Crucify" = This one was so different, but great. It's barely recognizable at first, but it was wonderful.
"Waitress" = Delicious as always. I love the "hang ten, I'm gonna go where she goes" in the middle. I love how she draws it out!
Encore:
"Precious Things" = Amazing. I'm so used to it being the opener, it was different to see it as the last one. But it was a great ending. Very emotional and very powerful.
Well, there's my review! It was a great show and Alanis wasn't so bad herself (she was actually very good). A lot of the Alanis fans talked all through Tori's set. They kept getting up to do this and that. And when Alanis came on, there was A LOT of noise. There was one guy who sang on the top of his lungs to EVERY song except one. He was so loud and disturbing. Well, Tori makes up for it. She was simply astonishing. Well, hope everyone enjoys the shows they go to as much as I enjoyed mine. Good luck at the meet and greets as well!
