Like A Good Book I Can't Put This Day Back

The curtain has dropped on the final show of the Night of Hunters tour’s European stretch. Tonight’s performance at Dublin’s Grand Canal Theatre featured the “Tubular Bells”/“God”/“Running Up That Hill” medley, “Josephine,” “Little Earthquakes,” “Yes, Anastasia,” “Snow Cherries From France” and The Cure’s “Lovesong.”

While live coverage of the show was a little sporadic due to reception challenges, a photo of the printed set list, which she reportedly did not deviate from, quickly emerged so we’ve got the complete set list posted in Tour. Many thanks to andy, Rabih and @Avesdad for getting the word out.

As always, we’d love to hear from those in attendance about the performance. If you’d like to post a review of the show, please do so using the comment form at the bottom of the Dublin page.

From here, the tour moves on to Johannesburg this weekend, where Tori will make her first appearance ever in South Africa! Stay tuned!

Trapping Angels By The Lagan

It’s been seventeen years since Tori played a concert in Belfast but her return to Northern Ireland, judging by the set list at least, has been quite triumphant!

While there wasn’t a live update of the performance as it happened, we’ve been able to, with the assistance of @odhranmullan, @David_IX and @GreekPsyche, piece together the performance after the fact. The set included solo performances of “Angels,” “Pancake,” “Father Lucifer,” “Your Cloud” and “The Rose” (most well known as performed by Bette Midler for the movie of the same name). “Spring Haze” was played with the Apollon Musagète Quartett for the first time, joining staples such as “Siren,” “Spark” and “Leather.”

The full set list has been posted in the Tour section. We’d love to share the thoughts and opinions about the performance with other Toriphiles, so if you were lucky enough to be at the show and are inclined to opine, please do so using the comment form on the Belfast page.

Wrapped Around Like Good Little Glasgow

The fourth and final show on the island of Britain, at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, is in the books and, again, the unexpected materialized. Tonight’s performance featured “Blood Roses,” “Bachelorette,” “Beulah Land,” “Martha’s Foolish Ginger,” “Cooling,” “Toast,” “Landslide” and “Sugar,” all played solo during the main set, as well as the unplanned addition of “Twinkle” to start the second encore. Songs played with the Apollon Musagète Quartett included “Hey Jupiter,” “Maybe California” and “Spark.”

The full setlist, courtesy of @joeyjoe77uk and @purplesnap, both of whom were kind enough to post the show live on Twitter, has been posted in the Tour section. If you were there and would like to share your thoughts on the concert, please do so using the comment form there!

Manchester: Apollo's Shock

The Night of Hunters tour rolled through the O2 Apollo in Manchester, England last night and Tori continued to deliver unexpected surprises, serving up several rarely-performed songs: the Scarlet’s Walk b-side “Apollo’s Frock,” the Little Earthquakes out-take “Take Me With You” and “Carnival,” from the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack. The concert also featured “Velvet Revolution,” “Hey Jupiter,” “Doughnut Song” and a cover of The Cure’s “Lovesong.”

Thanks to the tag-team efforts of @Arkyetc, @itf, @mrdavidguy and @raspberryswirls, the full set list was updated on the Tweetie-machine as the show happened last night and we’ve posted it in the Tour section. We’ve also added some early reviews and a few videos from the concert, including “Carnival,” that have already made their way into the world. More reviews are always welcome so if you’d like to add your opinions, please do so using the comment form on the Manchester page.

A London Girl Every Time

Tonight, Tori performed in London for the second night in a row, though this time at the Hammersmith Apollo. The set tonight was no less distinguished though, featuring “Ode To The Banana King.” “Ruby Through the Looking Glass,” “That Guy,” “Never Seen Blue,” “China” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” (She also sang a bit of Chaz and Dave’s “London Girls” in between songs if you’re curious about the otherwise seemingly unrelated article title.)

The full setlist is up in the Tour section, with thanks to @AnnabelJameson for sending it along to us on the Twitter-gram.

We’d love to hear what anyone who was there thought of the performance. If you are so inclined, please share your observations on the concert using the comment form on the London page.

To Fair London Town

Just a quick update: the setlist for Tori’s concert at the esteemed Royal Albert Hall has been posted in the Tour section. The set featured “Bells For Her,” “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Marianne,” leavened with a dollop of the usual slate of songs performed with the Quartett. Head on over to see the rest as well as a couple early reviews. We’ll be adding some media from the show, as well as any other reviews folks send our way, later on today as the day settles down.

Many thanks to @RKGraeme for sending the setlist in live as it happened!

No Meet and Greet At Royal Albert Hall

Due to restrictions at the Royal Albert Hall, there will be no M&G before Wednesday’s London show. This info is directly from Tori’s management.

Essen: Ode To The Baffled King

Details for tonight’s show in Essen, Germany, are still not completely set in stone but we’re pretty sure we’ve been able to piece together tonight’s setlist and it’s clear that the Tori and the Quartett left the Continent with a bang!

The show featured several surprises: the return of the “God”/“Running Up That Hill” diptych (never pass up a chance to use that word!), this time prefaced by “Tubular Bells” as an intro, the extremely rare “Ode To The Banana King” (third time ever and the first since 1998!), the tour debut second performance (d’oh!) of “Sugar” on this tour and two covers: Cat Stevens’ “Moonshadow” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Perhaps not the most spooky of selections for a Halloween concert, but we’re sure none in attendance were complaining!

The full setlist, which we’re almost positive is correct, has been posted in the Tour section. Many thanks to @lenoreva for tweeting and texting and to @NicotineLove for relaying those txts on to the rest of us. And a tip of the chapeau to PeterZ for clarifying the order as well. If there are any corrections, please let us know and we’ll get them posted, once verified.

Your reviews and thoughts on the show are always welcome! If you were there and would like to share, please let us and everyone know what you thought of the concert using the comment form there!

Is There Room In Brussels For You To Follow Your Heart?

While getting the details for tonight’s show at Bozar in Brussels was a little rocky, those in attendance were treated to a smooth performance indeed.

The set featured “Bouncing Off Clouds,” “Alamo,” “Hey Jupiter,” Madonna’s “Live To Tell” and, perhaps most notably,“Take To The Sky” with the “room in your heart” section of “Datura” used for the bridge — the first ever performance of any part of this long-sought-out song! The set also included “Spring Haze” and “Velvet Revolution,” both solo, and “Leather” with the Quartett.

The full setlist has been posted in the Tour section. Many thanks to @Shireen86, @faeryty, Puchacz and Ewyszówna for sending all the pieces our way!

We’d love to hear what those fortunate to be at the show thought the concert! If you’d like to share, drop a review on us using the comment form and we’ll share it with the world to see. Check back for videos and photos as they start to pop up too.

Antwerp: Hand Me My Cello

The Continental portion of the Night of Hunters tour’s European leg is winding down but Tori and the Quartett continue to wind things up if last night’s show in Antwerp is any indication. “Leather” was performed for the first time with the addition of strings in a concert that also included “Pretty Good Year,” “Dragon,” “Programmable Soda,” “Carbon,” “Liquid Diamonds,” “I Can’t See New York” and Joni Mitchell’s “The Circle Game.”

The full setlist has been posted in the Tour section along with several videos from the evening. Thanks to Bart for sending us the setlist and also to our good friends at tori.br for the video links.
