Clyde In The 'Cuse

Tonight’s concert at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse was opened by Clyde, who ended her set with “Roosterspur Bridge” which hadn’t been performed since he Manchester show in July. Tori’s set included “Parasol”, “Northern Lad”, “Yes, Anastasia“and the tour debut of “Never Seen Blue” during T & Bö. Check out the full setlist in the Tour section. Thanks to winter.cherry.tree for posting the set as it happened on atforumz.

Bootleg and DVD Tidbits

While we’re still waiting for something official about the bootleg downloads, a couple things have come to light since they were announced by ToriAmos.com.

First, during the recent video chat (which Belinda is working on transcribing), Tori mentioned that the bootlegs would be digital only initially. However, there is a chance of some physical CD releases after the tour is over if there are any notable performances.

Second, The NYBG talked to Tori at the VIP meet and greet in Albany and asked about the bootlegs and she told him that Philadelphia would be the first show made available. All shows will be recorded but the venues has a say in whether or not a concert is released.

On the tour DVD front, Robert Schrader tells us that, at Friday’s meet and greet, Tori said the DVD, which she first mentioned in Europe, would be filmed at the first two shows in Oakland in December.

New York #2: Who Can It Be Now?

As many predicted, Santa opened the second New York show at the WaMu earlier this evening, including “Sugar” amongst her usual offerings. Tori’s parents were in attendance at this show, so it’s no surprise that “Winter” lead off T & Bö; it was rounded out by “Carbon” and “Baker Baker”. There were two improvs: an intense one preceding “Spring Haze” which dealt with Christianity and politics while the other more whimsically addressed the cute boys of New York.

The full setlist, pieced together from reports posted on the various forums, has been added to the Tour section. I believe it is correct. If you were there and want to let everyone know what you thought, please post a review using the comment form there!

Chicago Presale Update

There are two simultaneous pre-sales for the second Chicago show happening right now. One is being run by Jam Productions and the other by WXRT. The password for the former is DOLL and the password for the second is POSSE. Both presales are happening at Ticketmaster.

Good luck!

Late Late Show Appearance (October 11, 2007)

Tori performed “Bouncing Off Clouds” on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on October 11, 2007. The song was actually taped back on April 26th when she also performed “Big Wheel” for an earlier appearance on the program. That early date explains the trio configuration of just Tori, Jon Evans and Matt Chamberlain (in contrast to the full band with Dan Phelps on guitar on The Tonight Show on October 1st). There was no interview segment — just the performance which, of course, can be found on YouTube:

New York #1: Pip Goes The Weasel

Pip opened the first of Tori’s two-night stand at New York’s WaMu Theatre at Madison Square Garden this evening. Tori’s set included “Cool On Your Island”, “Cooling” (both during T & Bö, the latter with the Brambles bridge) , “Digital Ghost” and “Hotel”. The full setlist came to us via various folks — thanks to Moonlitwindow, Frank A, and Angell’s buddy with the video texts — and can be found in the Tour section.

Don’t forget: Today’s Tori happenings are not done yet! She’s Craig Ferguson’s musical guest on The Late Late Show tonight on CBS!

Syracuse Post-Standard Article (October 11, 2007)

When you unleash the titans, you have to understand and you have to know you’re not projecting a red-headed singer-songwriter. You’re playing with a red-headed piano player who thinks she can kick your ass. At the Belgian fest, I think we held our own against Metallica.

So concludes an article in the Syracuse Post-Standard which serves as an introduction to American Doll Posse and a preview for Tori’s concert this weekend in that upstate New York city. (Fortunately, if any Titans get loose Saturday night, a city with a Greek namesake is as good a place as any!)

T+T Gallery Clarification (Your Name)

Just to clarify about choosing a name for yourself in the gallery … you don’t have to use a nickname/handle. You can use your real name. We just need names to be unique for each person. So you can use names like “John Smith” or “John Q. Smith” or “Johnny” or “John S.” or “JohnS,” we just can’t have five different people who are simply listed as “John.”

If your first name is already something unique, like Myrtle, you probably don’t have to worry that there are tons of other Myrtles out there in Toriville. But if your name is “Josh,” you can assume there are probaby a few other Toriphiles named Josh and plan accordingly.

Hope this clears things up (and if you would like to reconsider the name you’ve chosen at this point, let us know now).

UPDATE: Oh, also… We can refer to you differently in your photo description(s) if you like, since we write those manually. For example, if you’re in our database as “JohnDonJuan,” the description can say “John and Tori in Boston on…,” so if you’d like to be referred to by a slightly different name in your photo descriptions, you can let us know that, too. We just have to store each person’s set of photos under a specific username. Well, you’ll see what we mean soon. If anyone wants to make changes to names then, that will be possible for a short time.
