...And The Girl From The South

Monday evening was the third and final show in Johannesburg and the third of four shows on Tori’s brief but welcome jaunt through South Africa. As with the other South African shows, it was a solo performance unaccompanied by the Apollon Musagète Quartett and, similar to the first two Johannesburg, consisted of material from the back catalog. The performance featured “Here. In My Head,” “Marianne,” “Rattlesnakes,” “Scarlet’s Walk,” “I Can’t See New York,” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The full setlist, thanks to help from @thatfoxyboy and the setlist archive on ToriAmos.com, has been posted in the Tour section.

Reviews of the concert are welcome! If you would like to post your thoughts about the performance, please do so using the comment form there.

Don’t forget: the final stop in South Africa is this Thursday, November 17th, in Cape Town!

Four In The Afternoon, The Midst of November

The second of Tori’s three concerts in Johannesburg is gone and past. Today’s performance was a matinee at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperor’s Palace and, aside from two songs, consisted of a completely different selection of songs from last night’s show. The set tonight featured “Northern Lad,” “The Beekeeper,” “Gold Dust,” “Lust,” “Toast,” “Beauty of Speed” and a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Famous Blue Raincoat.” Interestingly though, as with last night, no songs from Night of Hunters were performed.

The full setlist has been posted in the Tour section. Many thanks to @GoughPalmer for the live updates and pictures from the show and to @abmarkus for helping to put the pieces into place.

Hey Johannesburg, Nothing's Been The Same

Tonight marked Tori’s first performance in South Africa, starting a run of three shows at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperor’s Palace in Johannesburg. For this first show, which, as with the other South African stops on the tour was a solo performance unaccompanied by the Apollon Musagète Quartett, she focused entirely on her back catalog, playing nothing from Night of Hunters, featuring favorite b-sides such as “Black Swan” and “Honey” as well a now rare performance of “Me And A Gun.” The set also included “Blood Roses,” “Mother” and, for the second time, “Take To The Sky” with the “room in my heart” bridge from “Datura.”

Thanks to the Twitteriffic efforts of @RKGraeme, @strange_lil_boy and @LindiAtieno, we were able to update the concert in real time and have posted the full setlist in the Tour section of Undented.

We’d love to hear the thoughts and opinions of those who were there tonight — if you were and would like to share, please post a review using the comment form at the bottom of the page for the show!

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.
