little fascist panties: Tori humor (1)

From The Reverend Brendan Powell Smith , March 30, 1994:

Subject: ***SPOILERS*** BOSTON CONCERT!!! ***SPOILERS***

Well, I JUST got back from the Tori show at Sanders Theatre at Harvard. Wow. Here is the set list, for those who would like to know:

Humpty Dumpty
Thoughts
Space Dog
"The Safety Dance"
Yes, Anastasia
Mary
Ode to the Banana King (part one)
Happy Workers
Thoughts (again)
Whoomp (There It Is)

The Pool
Revolution #9

Thoughts (a 3rd time)
Stairway to Heaven

Tori put on a pretty good show last night for being drunk. She stumbled onto the stage an hour late, and slurred her words through the first three songs, including a barely recognizable "Thoughts". She then seemed stumped as to what to play. There were shouts and suggestions from the audience, and she singled out a person in my row who requested the 1983 pop hit, "The Safety Dance". This made Tori laugh so hard she fell off the bench. Recovering, she gave it a go with little success. She cut that one short, and tried for "Yes, Anastasia". As the concert progressed, Tori sobered up a bit and played a more recognizable version of "Thoughts", and her own spin on "Whoomp (There It Is)".
She became quite psychodelic for her encores, doing "The Pool", and the Beatles' "Revolution #9". Coming back out again, Tori, for the third time that evening, performed the song "Thoughts", this time adding a verse about coffee and sugar pies. The finale was a rousing cover of Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven", which moved RDT's own Thor Iverson to jump the stage. He was subsequently tackled by security and arrested.
All in all, the most entertaining concert I've ever attended.

P.S. A happy April 1st to all. @8-D
