Houston: Clyde By The Bayou

It was another soggy night in Texas but this time Clyde was the Doll who took the stage to open the show tonight at Jones Hall in Houston. Her set included one song she hadn’t played before: “Mary” with the band. Whlie Tori’s set did not feature any debuts, she did revisit two songs for the second time ever: “Peeping Tommi” during T & Bö and “Not David Bowie” during the first encore. As this show is slated for release as an official bootleg, that should cue squees of joy from Toriphiles ‘round the world — even if the bootlegs are still not available to those outside of the United States and Canada. Tori’s set also featured “Virginia” and “Black Dove”. The full setlist, courtesy of raspberryspark and SisterErnestine, has been posted in the Tour section.

Dallas Morning News Concert Review (November 25, 2007)

Phil Brown’s review of the November 24th show at the Nokia Theatre appeared in the Dallas Morning News on November 25th. An interesting review as we weren’t aware that Tori played a “Dusendorfer” piano or that “Lust” was a hit or that “Raspberry Swirl” has anything to do with Joni Mitchell. You learn something new every day, it seems. Thanks once again to Kimberly for catching it!

Grand Prairie: Santa Does Dallas

Santa came out to play this evening at the Nokia Theatre, opening her second show in a row. Perhaps she felt the need to heat up the spirits of the cold and soggy denizens of The Big D? Or maybe she just wanted to show off her Dallas Cowgirl uniform? Either way, she debuted “Sweet The Sting” during her set before surrendering the stage to Tori whose portion of the evening featured “Father Lucifer”, “Horses”, “Bliss”, and, during T & Bö, “Jackie’s Strength” and “Beulah Land”.

The full setlist has been posted in the Tour section. If you were there and would like to share what you thought of the show, please use the comment form at the bottom of that page.

West Palm Beach: A Holiday Visit From Santa

Santa opened the Thanksgiving Eve show last night in West Palm Beach. Seeing as how Tori has a home nearby and will be spending the holiday with family, Tori’s parents were in attendance and Cricket tells us a lot of the songs were done especially for them. The setlist included no fewer than three debuts (“Amazing Grace,” “Gold Dust,” and “Josephine”). Pretty awesome!

The full setlist is up over in the Tour section. If you were there and want to write a review, pop over and submit it via the handy-dandy form on the West Palm Beach flashback page.

This show is available for download over on Legs & Boots.

Clearwater: Pip By The Bay

The audience at the November 20th performance at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater were treated to two renditions “Professional Widow”. First, Pip and the boys played it during her opening segment of the evening and then, of course, the “It’s Gotta Be Big” remix was the bridge joining Pip’s set to Tori’s portion of the evening. Tori debuted “Martha’s Foolish Ginger” in addition to playing “Siren” and “Horses” and, during T & Bö, “Carbon” and “Never Seen Blue”. The full setlist is posted in the tour section — thanks to the folks at @forumz for sorting it out!

This concert was a late addition to the roster at Legs & Boots and is available now for purchase.

Creative Loafing Concert Review (November 14, 2007)

Creative Loafing turned its bloggy eye, via the keyboard of Jeff Hahne, towards Tori’s concert at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte on November 13th. The brief review, in their Vibes music blog, also features a few nice photographs of Tori and Tori as Clyde.
Check it out below or read it on their website.

Also, since you’re headed to Creative Loafing anyway, make sure to sneak a peak at Perry Julien’s gallery of photographs taken at the night after in Atlanta. The Santa fan club, I suspect, should find something that will warm you up as Christmas approaches….

Thanks to Kimberly and Megan Langer for the tips!
