Hey y'all,
I was never a guy to follow Tori around on tour, but it happened totally by accident this year, and it was great. 2 London Hamersmith shows, and 1 Manchester show. All different, all great - and of course, I got to see 3 different posse girls - Santa (my favourite), Isabel & Clyde.
I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...
She crafts, molds, paints, aligns the words and the music......it's a 3D experience. Tori infuses life into her work in a way that no one else does. The piano talks/sings when she plays it....everything resonates. She's pure class, and she can sum up in 1 lyric things that I've been trying to figure out about life for many years.
What else is there to say? Oh yeah, and her live shows? The best.....the best!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrreat
One of the best Tori setlists I've ever had the priviledge of seeing. Body and Soul was a great opener, and Santa was amazingly cheeky/sexy - the character really came through strongly.
Standout tracks for me:
Dragon - live version is realy strong, adapted from the recording. A real drive to it.
Siren - real punch - dark, uplifting yet haunting.
Bliss - amazing live!!!!
I could go on about every song, they were all great, but these ones in particular grabbed me by the throat!
