| Recorded at the Jazz Cafe, Camden Town, London, UK. Good audience recording. From the info file: Tori Amos 02 December 2009 Jazz Cafe, Camden Town, London Source: Sharp MD-Recorder w/ Sony headphones Transfer: Sharp MD-Recorder > WAV w/Audacity > snail mail to Sheffield, UK > Audacity (noise removal, bass boost, EQ) > Trader's Little Helper > FLAC (level 8) Taped by: Morrigan Messed about with by: Christoff Location: Right, front of stage. The venue is tiny. Virtual tour here: http://venues.meanfiddler.com/upload/venues/virtualtour/jazzcafe/virtual_tour.html See? Setlist: Lady In Blue Concertina A Silent Night With You Dragon Doughnut Song Ophelia Josephine Rattlesnakes Jeanette, Isabella Mrs. Jesus Beauty Of Speed Another Girl’s Paradise Star Of Wonder w/line from Muhammad My Friend Encore: London Girls Pink & Glitter Hey Jupiter was dropped from the main set and Comfort and Joy was dropped from the encore but we did hear Tori soundcheck both songs as well as Welcome To England which wasn't on the printed setlist. I faded the last track out but not the first track in as I didn't want to lose any of the performance. The original recording was very very quiet and very very hissy, but this is really not bad at all now. Awesome awesome gig this one. I was the first person at/in the venue and was eighth in line for the wristbands about 1pm the day before. It was all so worth the wait in the rain, the wind, the cold, with the crap tent, wet feet, wet sleeping bag, the wet head, the cold, the snot, the 1 hour search for somewhere to pee at 1am, the rude awakening after 10 minutes sleep at 5am, the mad dash to the venue, the running down Oxford Street, the running through Camden Town, the endless rain on the day of the show, and the panic/stress/butterflies of the whole experience. I would do it all again a hundred times. Brilliant two days, brilliant set list, the best ever Tori Stories I’ve heard her tell in person, the great improvs, the wit, the banter, the eye contact down at the front, the hand holding, the improv about the British fans following her around Europe, the drool, the screw ups, the giggles, the tears from Tori, the tears from the fans, the lack of full stops in this post, the 4 hour drive home after the show in the rain and the fog, dangerously close to sleeping, the 5am arrival at home, the 8am getting up time, the 9am at work time, the trenchfoot, my friends, and the legend that is Tori. So many memories. So many dreams. Don't sell, don't convert to mp3 and if you do, don't trade said mp3s, don't talk with your mouth full, that sort of thing. Huge thanks to Morrigan for taping this and sharing it. :) |
