i am SO salty i won't be with you guys tonight in detroit! it's not about seeing another show, its about seeing it with you and gushing about it afterwards.

well, have fun at the show and come back with a full report!

Dude. I've been missing you at these shows! It's not the same without you now.

I tripped out for a minute cuz there was a guy there who I swear could've been your doppelganger.

It wasn't until closer inspection when I noticed the eyebrow and lip ring that I knew it wasn't you. lol

This isn't entirely accurate, as she made a few modifications as she went. But this is what she was supposed to play...

It was a stunning show!!!! Gangsta and I were emotional wrecks for most of it. Santa's set was just incredible. Hearing Dragon live was the most exquisite highlight!

I need to write some proper reviews soon.

But for now, a few quick thoughts.

I'm completely in love with Santa. And I'm so thrilled I got my wish of seeing her.

Pip blows my fucking mind. She scares me. In a good way.

For a minute I was a little bummed at the end of the Detroit show, but I've gotten over myself.

Well, there were a few changes. I wasn't really happy about any of 'em, but they were understandable, I guess.

Shortly into the Tori set, it was obvious that she was having some discomfort. About a minute into "Black Dove", she cut the song short, saying...

"Wait a minute! I have to go get out of this corset. I feel like I can't fucking breathe! Go ahead, guys. Playing something. Anything."

So she ran off stage for about 5 minutes to change and came back on stage cracking up. Then she resumed with "Crucify".

During the solo segment, she for some reason decided to leave out "Sister Janet" and replaced it with "Cloud on my Tongue". I loved all the songs played during the T & Bö, so I can't really complain. And they were all done as well as I've ever heard them. But I just love "Sister Janet" so fucking much that it stung a little to know she had it planned.

And because she started the show a little late, she cut the encore short and we only got 2 songs. She left out "Tear In Your Hand", which is the song that made me a fan. sigh

But overall, I was thrilled with this show. I was praying for Santa and I got her. All of the ADP songs she played were rocking. She's as rocking as Pip. Where Pip is angry and confrontational, Santa is sensual and playful. But "Body & Soul", "You Can Bring Your Dog", and "She's Your Cocaine" thoroughly kicked my ass.

Full band versions of "Dragon", "Honey", "Siren" and "Horses" were revelations as well.

She sounds so confident and excited this tour. I read someone else mention that this might be her best tour yet, not only for the raw showmanship and theatrics of it, but because as time goes on, she has the grace and ease that comes with age.

i think i'm far more excited about this tour than i have been since dew drop inn! the setlists have been amazing, the recordings have sounded incredible, the fans seem genuinely more pleased during this tour than they've been in a long time. i think it looks pretty alright! two of my longtime tori-lovin' friends, who both said she has calmed down too much in recent years, have seen her in nyc and both said they were two of the best shows they've ever seen. they didn't say this about original sinsuality or scarlet's walk/lottapianos.

i can't wait for 4 december, baby!

Ya know what I wish? I was there was a package price for all these "Legs & Boots" for those of us crazy enough to want them all. Something like $150 and you get access to all the shows. Maybe I'll ask her in Chicago if I make it to the meet n greets.

But if we were smart, the handful of us who are that psycho should pool our resources. Even if there were only 5 of us, we could divide up the nearly 50 U.S. shows and each of us could buy 10 of them, and then swap all the ones we don't have. Just an idea. hmmm

So do I. In all sorts of ways. sigh

I respect your stance though. It's fair. I just wish she would offer the option of downloading all the shows for a package price.
