Additional MSG Tickets Released (And An Ad!)

Stephen let us know that he had gotten an e-mail notice from Madison Square Garden indicating that more tickets had been released for the two shows there next week (and, in fact, I just looked and pulled up a few seats in the section closest to the stage for Thursday’s show; the best currently available for Friday are in the middle section).

Additionally, that e-mail also included a link to the concerts’ page on the WaMu Theatre’s website where you can find this neat little television commercial for the show:

I haven’t seen this on the boobtube myself but then, I’m still catching up on the last season of Lost!

Third Oakland Show Added

filmbuff83 alerted us that Everything Tori has announced a third Oakland show at the Paramount on December 9th. Woohoo!

There will be VIP tickets available for this show. They’ll go on sale on October 12th. (General sale begins October 14th.) No exact URLs yet, but as soon as we know them, we’ll add them.

We’ll see you at the Oakland shows!

Yoav: Meet The Opener

Over the weekend, The Bowery Presents, promoters for the Albany, New York City and Syracuse shows, listed Yoav as the opener on their show listing. The Santa Barbara Independent’s listing for the Arlington Theatre show concurs. And while the tour dates on his website don’t show anything after September, the tour dates on his MySpace are beginning to look suspiciously like Tori’s. (One assumes that the October 1st show at the Palace Theatre in Albany is a typo.)

Update (2007-10-07): Yoav’s website has been relaunched and all of Tori’s tour dates are now listed.

So, it would seem we have our opening act for the North American leg of the tour.

For everyone planning on hitting one or more of the shows on the upcoming tour, check out any of the several songs from Yoav’s debut album that can be streamed on his website or MySpace to get an idea of who will be kicking the evenings off.

Thanks to Saar for the tip!

Lighting and Tori and Pictures! Oh My!

Meg points out this posting at Martin Professional, Inc.‘s website that addresses the lighting design and gear choices made by Dave Farmer, the lighting designer on the American Doll Posse tour. As Martin is a company that produces stage lights and other kit, the article is unsurprisingly slanted towards their products but, nevertheless, it’s fairly interesting since it gives a behind-the-scenes perspective which we normally do not see.

However, more importantly for the average Toriphile, there is a fantastic gallery of several dozen images of Tori on stage, featuring the aforementioned lights in action. Check out the full set of images at Martin’s website!

Isabel Concludes The Australian Leg

The Australian leg of the American Doll Posse tour came to a close this evening in Perth. Isabel opened the final performance and ended her set of songs with the tour debut of “Virginia”! During T & Bö, Tori acknowledged the past couple weeks in Australia with an emotional improv about saying goodbye. She also played “China”, “Upside Down” and “Cloud On My Tongue” during the solo section of the show. The full setlist, which came to us from Bevan, is in the Tour section where you can also post a review if you’d like to let the world know what you thought of the concert.

Pip Plays Perth

The first Perth concert, and penultimate stop on the Australian leg of the tour, is in the bag. Pip opened the evening, tearing through her usual set of songs including “Bliss”, “Cruel” and “The Waitress” from the back catalog. Tori’s set included “Sugar”, “Siren”, “Hotel”, and, during the solo segment of the performance, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. Thanks to fullofwish and paperdoll for the setlist which we’ve posted on in the Tour section.

Clyde Closes Out Sydney...

The third and final Sydney show on the Australian leg was opened by Clyde, leaving Santa as the only member of the posse not to visit the Opera House. Highlights of the set included an improv before Cornflake Girl, “Mother Revolution”, “Digital Ghost” and “Pancake”. During T & Bö, she played “Cloud On My Tongue” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide”. The full setlist, which came from danere via the FeelTheWord forum, can be found on our third Sydney page.
