ok...so this is off topic but i'm looking into schools in san francisco and i want to get an idea on apartments in the area. i don't know sf at all so i don't know good areas from bad areas and trendy spots from boring ones. can you tell me which areas to avoid and which areas are good living. i liked the sounds of presidio, marina, south beach, cow hollow (?), russian hill (?), south market...i don't know if all of these are good areas. can you steer me in some sort of direction?

I was just gonna post this. Didn't know anyone else was keeping up. All I've gotta say is HOLY CRAP! This looks like the best one yet! Blood Roses, Past the Mission, Jamaica Inn, Tear in Your Hand, Merman and Twinkle! And Cooling is just about my favorite song by anyone. Cool that she did Merman and Twinkle back to back, cuz I've always though of them having similar structure. God, I wish I could be at all of these.

GangstaFam said:

i think i prefer last night's over this one. that's not to say i would be unhappy with this set though, lol! i know i sound like a broken record but i just can't wait for 14 april!!!

SassyBritches said:

Me neither! And I really, really want to try to make it to Chicago. I actually had an invite to go to New York when she's playing there, but I'm so out of money!

Okay, I'm confused! Where is the link to make a request? As soon as Houston's tickets are announced I want to make sure I request "Condition Of The Heart". Brilliant idea GangstaFam & Huey!)

JediMaster said:

That's Gangsta's wish! I just confirmed. I am good at that.

HamsterHuey said:

Thank you!!!!! Just put in my request! I will be cleaning the mess outta my drawers for DAYS if she plays COTH when she comes to Houston!!!

GangstaFam said:

OMFG. Damn. That first set would just kill me. However... Blood Roses just aint the same without the harpsichord. And nothing beats Tear In Your Hand as an encore. I wonder if I can score some tix to LA...

Here's a cool website with setlists from all tours. http://www.toriset.org/

They organize it by show, and cross-reference songs so you know how many times they were played on the tour and in which shows.

that's funny...i was gonna make that my chore of the day. i planned on starting a chart on this thread that mapped out which songs were performed and how many times. i guess i have no excuse now...i really need to get to work!

AHHHHH!!!!! i can't believe this bitch did yes, anastasia and like a prayer! i'm dying...my knees are weak and i am dying!

(c'mon 14 april, hurry up and get here...)

so...my boyfriend just requested his choice of a cover for the chicago show.

eurythmics - sisters are doing it for themselves

i think its perfect!

Damn, she's really going all out! This might be the best yet! Something about this tour seems very special and I get the feeling it is for Tori too. Every single one of these shows so far I would love to have a copy of, or better yet, video.

SassyBritches said:

That would be funny. It's never been my favorite Eury song but I could see how it would work for her.

I liked Jon Snow's suggestion of "Love is a Stranger". That high part during the chorus, "And I want you...so it's an obsession," she would totally nail. I bet she'd do a killer "This City Never Sleeps".

GangstaFam said:

oh, no, its not a favorite of his or mine either. it would just be really funny and fitting.

GangstaFam said:

Can I use the jerk off emoticon to show my pleasure about those two?

HamsterHuey said:

You might want to save yourself for if and when she actually does 'em.

GangstaFam said:

Mmm'kay. Then for those two choices! They Rock!

I'm going to Tori at the Sydney Opera House, May 7.
I requested Girls by the Beastie Boys and Cocoon by Bjork.
Imagine "Cocoon"... *salivates*

MrSquiggle said:

Those would be great! Girls would be so hilarious.

Winter
Cooling

2nd Encore

The Power Of Orange Knickers
Putting The Damage On

i don't know whether to be excited that she's been doing yes, anastasia or kinda salty. it sounds really stupid but i was hoping that she wouldn't do it until i got to do the whole "meet me at the stage door" thing in chicago. if she adds yes, anastasia as a regular to the setlist, it kinda makes it not so special when i ask for it. maybe i'm just crazy. yeah, that's it.

i guess it'll be cool as long as i get to hear that song. i'm also excited that she finally did toast! and i'm loving this regular appearance of putting the damage on...man, i can't wait until next week. my car rental is confirmed and i'm ready to go!

SassyBritches said:

Maybe she realized it was a good idea cuz of your suggestion.


Me too. Quite possibly my favorite Tori song.

Are you like me, making compilations of the setlists, using the album recordings?

HamsterHuey said:

No. But I've thought about it. It's a cool idea.

HamsterHuey said:

One of the high points of my job is that my boss is a Tori fanatic. She has almost all Tori's albums downloaded on her computer. She played the songs in order of the setlists all day. It really gives a feel for what's going to happen at the show. It was starting to be too much though. After eight hours, and hearing Originial Sinsuality and The Beekeeper four times each, I had to ask her to turn it off. Don't want to spoil the show.

My boss is even paying for my scalped ticket as a spring bonus!

Wow! Great gig ya got there.

What it lacks in some areas, it compensates for in others.
