it's about time, lady!
So, as Aimee pointed out on the tagboard, Tori Amos has—after 14 years—finally decided to start releasing official bootlegs of her live shows! This is kinda ironic for me since I've spent the last 3 days sorting through my downloaded bootlegs and other live recordings in order to make a few mixes — it's likely to be several discs long and the quality of many of the recordings is crappy at best. However, despite the fact that it will mainly be the hard-core fans who will be swooping up these official bootlegs, those of us who do appreciate the journey that is Tori live, this is a huge treat that has been a long time coming. So far, she's only releasing boots from this last tour, the Original Sinsuality Tour, and one of the shows happens to be the Los Angeles show that I went to and it was a fabulous show (and includes the "Silent All These Years" that I requested, thank you very much), so you can imagine my excitement about the news!
At the Tori Bootleg Boutique (leave it to Tori to call it a "boutique") you can now purchase the first two official bootlegs, Royce Hall Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA 4/25/05 and Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL 4/15/05. You can even hear clips of the songs on the Boutique website. There are four more shows set to be released this time around, four more to be announced, and word is that there is a possibility that one of them will be the London show when she was joined by the London Gospel Choir. And, hopefully for Aimee's sake, one of the remaining three will be an Aussie show, which is very likely, I might add. She owes you guys big time.
Aaaand, the Summer of Sin tour kicked off today. I'm posting some live mp3s from the Original Sinsuality tour from this spring to get you in the mood for this next leg of the 2005 tour. I’ll be at the LA show at the Greek Theatre and possibly at the Santa Barbra show as well in the middle of September, so maybe I’ll see you there!
