News: 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!
