Here's to hoping that the final two are the London show with the choir and the Boston show with the 6 or 7 tour debuts!

And I've noticed that she's been choosing shows that didn't have her regular full 4 song encore.

there are a few i'm really happy to see... Suzanne, in particular, and Not the Red Baron. Icicle will be nice.

And glad to see Scarlet and Venus show up finally on these live discs...

She really neglected Venus on this tour. Maybe she feels those songs need a band.

also of note, the first 2 live-CDs are available now on Itunes for those who haven't picked them up yet. They are EXCELLENT so i definitely encourage all Tori fans to check them out.

And yeah.... Venus was neglected on this tour. Venus is aging well, i think.... Lust has recently "come out" to me in a way it never has before.... it just clicked, i dunno. Beautiful song....

GangstaFam said:

By the way... I hope you realize how cool it is to chat about music w/ you!

JonSnow said:

That's always been one of my favorites. And I agree about Venus. She smartly avoided making a trendy electronica record, and instead incorporated the synths and drum machines in an organic way. I love the way the instruments are blended together on that album.

Date of release???

Not sure, but I found this bit of info.

As a bonus gift to Tori fans, anyone who orders all six double-CD sets from ToriAmosBootlegs.com by November 22nd will get a Box Set Case to put the 6 bootlegs in, as well as 6 hexagon stickers with the artwork for each Bootleg. To get the Box Set Case, make sure to use the same e-mail address for all of your ToriAmosBootlegs.com orders.

I really like the design of the covers.

I need to get Venus. I've moved off Choirgirl and am in love with Pele again. It's amazing how I don't get tired of her work! I feel like I've just scratched the surface in terms of knowing it and understanding it and studying it, lyrically and musically. I'm just so happy to be a fan.

Me too!! Tori is easily one of the top 3 artists of my entire lifetime. She is truly AMAZING. Her music means the world to me.

heartbeatocean said:

Many people seen to have a problem with Venus but to me it is brilliant. The live side, especially Precious Things and Cruel are crazyinsane ~ I get complete spirit bumps and feel like I'm right in the center of the audience when they are playing. Cooling, Sugar, Little Earthquakes, Cloud On My Tongue and Purple People are all in my favourite Tori songs list (which is quite extensive). OMG ~ just reading the track list makes me . I have to go listen to this now!

Interesting that three of my favourite artists are using a Japenese inspired or stylized bird in their cover art this year ~ Tori, David Sylvian and Sigur Ros. All very simple but incredibly beautiful.

JonSnow said:

Suzanne is one of the most amazing songs ever. I have the original by Leonard Cohen on vinyl from my college days. Can't wait to hear Tori's version.

MoonSongs said:

I love Venus. 10,000 Oceans and Josephine are probably my 2 favorites right now, but my favorites are always changing on that cd.

MoonSongs said:

yes it is... have you heard peter gabriel's version? it is amazingly beautiful

heartbeatocean said:

Check out www.yessaid.com if you haven't already. It's a goldmine for quotes and analysis of her work. I've learned a ton from that site.

MoonSongs said:

See, I've never given the live disc much attention. I know it's great, but it's all about the studio half for me.

JonSnow said:

I haven't but will be sure to seek it out. Thanks!!!!

GangstaFam said:

I love the studio half too ~ it's just that live songs on cd rarely come as close as these do to actually being in the audience. It's always a difficult choice when I have time to listen to only one disc!

something very odd happened w/ my last message.

Anyway, i was trying to post that peter gabriel's version of "suzanne" is on the same leonard cohen tribute CD that includes Tori's "famous blue raincoat". Great stuff!

JonSnow said:[quote]something very odd happened w/ my last message.
That tends to happen with Tori threads.

Cheek said:

Nov 7 no doubt?

GangstaFam said:

thanks, will do

So Tori Does allow recordings of her shows? or are these soundboard?

MoonSongs said:

moonsongs, i am so down with you here!

cruel is far from one of my favorite tori tracks but life, on this recording, man it is just hardcore! towards the end when she's all "tear it out and tear it out and tear it out again!" i just bout lose my mind!

have you ever noticed the long hissing sounds she makes with almost all her S's on that live disc? its very creepy.

TheRealFiness said:

I don't own them yet, but from what I can tell, they're soundboard.
