So from top to bottom... 97' Bonnie and Clyde is amazing. There is a black backdrop with tears in it all throughout. The lights shine through the tears and it is scarey and beautiful all at once, just like the song itself. Tori sings this backstage, it is a lot faster then the record and at the end of the song the curtain drops perfectly on beat. Then came Past the Mission. I attended the show with my dear friend Jill and this is her recovery song. I was shocked that she was playing it. It was not a debut for the tour, but I just, didn't expect it. From here on in one of us was crying on and off in rotation. I never cried at a show. This show sang our lives. It fit so perfect into my life at least, it was scarey. Then here comes Leather..And I am sobbing. "IF LOVE ISN'T FOREVER, AND IT'S NOT THE WEATHER, HAND ME MY LEATHER" Dear god woman break my heart already. This is so fitting in my life right now. Then..Here in my head.. At first I wasn't sure what it was. Jill did instantly. I have never heard it live. I held my own until "Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to When she has left you and me here alone on the floor.." And I am crying.. and then comes the end.."Hey, do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me? Here in my head." Again.. My life at it's best. Its self centered to say, and of corse not the truth but it seems as though she knew what was going on in my everyday life and sang about it. Take to the Sky..An all time fav for me. It's always fun live with the encouraged claps which are always confused when the bridge conmes.. they die off and start back up when Tori bangs on the side of the Bosie. "TAKE IT, TAKE IT, TAKE IT" was amazing. There was so supurb energy for this song. I don't like Mondays..I enjoy this song and it is even better live. And here we are..Little FREAKING earthquakes. I have always wanted this live, as has Jill. I never thought she would play it. It is very fitting with what's going on in the world. And I had cleared up my sinuses a bit until.."I can't reach you..can't reach you,Give me life,Give me pain,Give me myself again.." And the rivers are flowing. Another true to my life lyric. And then Etienne..Requested by sweet Nikki at the Meet and Greet.Absolutly wonderful to hear live. "By The Morning, Maybe I'll Remember Who I Am" Wow. Sing my heart again why don't you? She sang "Maybe you're a witch, Maybe I'm a witch" This brought at least half the venue to tears. Amazing.Mr.Zebra was fun to hear live and everyone loved it. Josephine and Concertina were amazing and melotic and greatly appreciated by Jill. Talula has a new intro and was almost unrecognizable. More lyrics hitting home: "you don't want to lose her she must be worth losing if it is worth something" She was on a mission to make me bawl I tell you. Me and a Gun. First time seeing it live. I will hear it 2 more times and I know I will react the same. She had a bright light on her and her hair looked light blonde from the light and she was like an angel. It was stunning and very calming to hear. I have gone through my own bouts with sexual bullshit so this song holds deep meaning to me, as it does to Tori herslef and many other EWF. I am very appreciateive she is playing this nightly, it's 96 all over again. Then..Daniel..What a treat!! Amazing live. Her voice broke my heart.."Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes" *tears* Absolutly Amazing! Merman..I always wanted to hear this live and I discussed with Jill that I expected it at a NY show. It was a treat. "Go to bed the priests are dead, now no one can call you bad" and "who could ever say your not simply wonderful?" here we go I am in tears again. Silent all these years.. If I ever wanted a song live it would have to be this. I never realized how much it ment to me until I heard the first note. There are so many pieces of lyrics in this song that I relate to my life and where I was in 92. "I got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin at me again" Yeah that was my mother LOL. "I got something to say you know but nothing comes.. Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up" How many times have I wanted to say something and I can't get the words out, and how many times have I rambled because I was nervous? so me! and the chorus: "But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his with her name still on it Hey but I don't care Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here silent all these years" This is so where I am in my life right now. And I live for the experience, not the regret, it just fits. "Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon How's that thought for you" Don't tell me every female EWF hasn't sang this note in anger lol. So here comes this: "Years go by will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds raining in my head Years go by will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left One more casualty You know we're to easy easy easy" And I find myself in a puddle of tears again. And then this"It's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand" After I doubted you and you weren't there for me I am going to offer myself up to help you. Again, my life.Enjoy the silence was amazing live. This song means so much to Tori right now being a mommy. Sister Janet was weird, and nice. The stage lighting changed and there was a black and white setup with lightning like streaks on the stage pieces. And 1,000 Oceans to close. The whole mood of this show was a sad mellow one. and this was a perfect close. "If that's what it takes.. to sail you home...." Amazing show. I think I may chang my mind eventually and say the *best* show. Thank you again Goddess.
