Memories Of Montreal

Oopsie, apologies on the lateness of this recap of last night’s Montreal show. The setlist included some lovely treats … “Little Amsterdam,” “Glory Of The 80s,” “China,” “Space Dog,” “Virginia,” and perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, “Beulah Land” kicking off the Lizard Lounge portion of the show.

You can view the complete setlist in the Tour section, and if you were at the show, head to the bottom of the page to submit a review, pics, or video.

Thanks to @casket4mytears for getting the setlist to us on Twitter.

Toronto Leaves The Light On

The curtain has dropped on tonight’s show at Massey Hall in Toronto. While we were secretly hoping for a Joni Mitchell or Neil Young cover to squeak its way onto the setlist, it was not to be. However, the set wasn’t too shabby, featuring the debuts of “The Power of Orange Knickers” and, during the Lizard Lounge, “Roosterspur Bridge.” “Mother” was the other solo song performed during the Lounge. “Hotel,” “Carbon,” “Concertina,” and “Mother Revolution” also made appearances but, most importantly, bassist Jon Evans was treated to a chorus of “Happy Birthday!” The complete setlist has been posted in the Tour section.

As always, we’d love to hear what those of you who were in attendance have to say about the show. Please use the comment form to post a review if you’d like or to send in links to video clips you may have captured. Photos are welcome too! (We’d love it if Neil Gaiman were to post a review here, but we suspect we’ll have to settle for his tweetview.)

Many thanks to @casket4mytears and @vervalicious for tweeting the setlist!

Singing in the Detroit Rain

Tonight’s show at the Detroit Opera House is in the books and tour debuts continue to fall from the skies much like the rain that fell on the streets of the Motor City today. “Pancake,” including the much-loved “Ohio” bridge from the song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and “Seaside” made their first appearances of the Sinful Attraction tour. Along with “Winter,” the latter made up the Lizard Lounge for this evening. Other songs of note included “Marys of the Sea,” “Concertina,” “Pandora’s Aquarium,” “Sugar” and, leading off the encore, “Caught A Lite Sneeze.”

We’ve posted the complete setlist in the Tour section, where we’d love to hear what you thought of the concert. If you’re so inclined, drop us a line using the comment form there.

Thanks to the tag-team-Tweeters @MissAften, @NicholasBashour, @trentvanegas and @StynchBox for reporting on the show on Twitter!

Detroit Meet'n'Greet

We’ve heard from several people reporting that there will not be a meet’n‘greet today in Detroit. We’re hoping to get 100% confirmation of this as soon as possible but it does seem likely. We’ll get an update out soon as we know for sure either way.

UPDATE: Just got official confirmation: there will be no meet’n‘greet today. Sorry guys!

WRNR Private Artist Showcase Airings

Josh let us know that the Private Artist Showcase recorded at the Ram’s Head Tavern last weekend for WRNR would be aired for the first time this morning. Alas, we tuned in just in time to miss it.

Fortunately, it will be rebroadcast Sunday night at 9:00 PM Eastern — and WRNR’s online stream is working this weekend!

Even if you miss the rebroadcast, nearly the entire appearance was YouTubed by several folks.

Tori Electrifies The Current

While in Minneapolis, Tori swung by the studios of Minneasota public radio station The Current for an in-studio appearance. She chatted with host Steve Steel about Abnormally Attrracted to Sin and performed three songs: “Ophelia,” “Silent All These Years” and “Mary Jane.” The entire in-studio can be streamed on The Current’s website and they’ve also been kind enough to post video of the three songs on YouTube — jump the cut to check those out!

Thanks to Amanda for catching this!

Drivin' In My Saab All The Way To Indianapolis

Last night’s show at the Murat in Indianapolis started normally enough with the usual openers, but then Tori and the band threw a couple of unexpected curve balls. First, “Ireland,” which has only been performed live once before, showed up in the middle of the first part of the show. Second, “Peeping Tommi,” a nearly-as-rare b-side, lead off the Lizard Lounge. Third, the Lizard Lounge consisted of three solo songs (instead of the usual two solo and one during which Matt and Jon return to the stage) with the third being the intense “Gold Dust.” Maybe that’s not the most earth-shaking of changes, but it sure seemed that way last night as, thanks to @kirkland24, the setlist came streaming in on Twitter.

The full setlist, which also featured “Hotel,” “Bells for Her,” “Tear in Your Hand” and the return of “Welcome to England,” is up in the Tour section. As always, we’d love to hear what you thought if you were there and care to share.
