Headed over to Durham tonight for a Tori Amos concert. 8th row center. And I mean CENTER. As in, Tori's piano bench was right in front of me, separated by a mere 8 rows of seats. Nice.She made a point to mention it was good to be back home. She was born in NC. Granted she moved away when she was 2 but she was born in NC nonetheless.
Maybe it's something about a hottie on the piano (Tori Amos, Amanda Palmer,...) that gets my blood rolling. But tonight's concert found me leaning forward in my seat with mouth agape and just awestruck. Mesmerized. Intoxicated. Dare I say, enchanted.
A pixie, a faery on the keyboards. She waltzed in with a blue dress and shiny metallic silver leggings and that hair. That long red hair. That awesome long red hair. Beautiful. Looking damn good for 46.
Here's the setlist from tonight's show:

Cornflake Girl

Just her on piano and organ and keyboards, Matt Chamberlain on drums, and Jon Evans on bass. Three performers producing a big, big sound. Loved it. A good time.
