The sexiest thing is trust

Wow. The Tori Amos show last night was amazing. She did not rock out loud as she wasn't touring with her band, but it still blew me away. First let me start by saying that Meadow Brook Music Festival is one of the best places to see an outdoor show that I've ever been to. I saw her there 2 summers ago (she was supposed to play the night of the blackout) but didn't really appriciate the acoustics until last night. She sounded amazing and when she holds those long high notes it sends chills down your spine. Even if you're not a fan if you could hear her live and hear what she can do with her voice, you'd be amazed. It was just her with her piano, two organs and an electric piano. There are songs where she plays two keyboards at once and it wows me everytime. Here's the set list:

Original Sinsuality Pretty Good Year Amber Waves (Hammond/piano) Doughnut Song China Barons of Suburbia (Hammond/piano) God (Fender/Rhodes)

Tori's Piano Bar: Karma Police (Radiohead) Vincent (Starry Starry Night) (Don McLean)

Carbon Crucify (Hammond/piano) Siren The Beekeeper (Hammond)

E n c o r e 1 : Parasol (Hammond/piano) Baker Baker
E n c o r e 2 : Twinkle Tear In Your Hand

The Tori's Piano Bar part is part of an online thing she did on this tour where fans can email in a request for a cover song. I'd never heard her do Karma Police before and it was great. And I'm not familiar with the Don McLean song, but it was about Vincent Van Gogh and it was so pretty. I was pleasantly surprised at how many classic songs she played, like God and Pretty Good Year and Crucify. It reminded me of my first Tori show over 11 years ago. The songs where it says Hammond/piano and Fender/Rhodes is where she's playing two instruments at once, which clearly was alot. More than usual anyway. Can you tell I'm excited from the show? I get so into it and it's all I want to talk about for a few days.

I have another show to get excited about now though. This Wed in Columbus is Rilo Kiley and Coldplay. This is my most anticipated show of the summer. I can't wait to see Rilo Kiley again and it'll be my first Coldplay show. I've seen clips of them live and it seems like a larger than life concert with big sound and lights. Can't wait! Peace out!
