Well, ok, not my last concert ever, but the last of my crazy, un-planned week-o-concerts. 5 concerts in 6 days, to be exact. The first 4 concerts had all been incredible. Seriously. Sonic Youth, Incubus with the Duke Spirit, Barclay Martin Ensemble, and the Fray with Jack's Mannequin. Yeah, I had been one lucky woman. What show could possibly top this past week?
Well, walking up to our 6th row middle seats was a great start (Major kudos to you Mr. Z). We were so close we were seeing the opener's band members perspire. I think they were all wearing deodorant, though, so we were good. The opener was Eskimo One, btw. Ironic. They were actually pretty good.
(Between Eskimo One and the main event, we decided to check out the "VIP area" that came with our tickets. Not totally for sure what made it VIP, so let me know if you have it figured out.)
Then, this stunning, red-headed woman sauntered onstage. She stood between 2 pianos on an elevated platform and spread her arms out like an eagle. Oh, and she was wearing shiny red leggings, a long suede fringe coat, and funky platform stilettos. Ladies and gents, this was Tori Amos.
Man could she sing and play her piano.
More than once during the night, she would play pianos on both sides of her.
During Tori's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I received the following text from SueSue: Instead of ruby red slippers, she has ruby red leggings
