CD 1: 8 tracks, 37:09

TT: 80:52*

This is the complete show.
9-9.5/10 ex- to ex 2nd gen aud, as always IMHO.

* If Track 05 is omitted, the show will fit on one 80 min. CD-R, TT: 78:49.

Since I didn't attend this show and didn't record it, this will be fairly short & sweet. I bought this tape at a record show in either Milwaukee or Chicago ~ 14 years ago and was struck by the excellent SQ (sound quality). This was probably recorded on a DAT or D6C Walkman. There is nothing wrong with this tape except for the screaming/shrieking at the end of some songs which blasts the levels into the red momentarily. This is why I rated the tape as ex- to ex rather than a straight ex. I removed ~ 3 minutes of encore shrieking which was EXTREMELY irritating and deafening. You can thank me now or later. The rest of the noise was left intact because music otherwise would've had to have been removed. The first two tracks are pretty quiet and the rest of the show is loud (for Tori Amos).

As mentioned above, if Track 05 is omitted, the show will fit on one 80 min. CD. This track, Tori Speaks, can be viewed as 1) The Goddess Speaks or 2) a bunch of immature male and female morons professing their undying love for Tori, who launches into an inane tale about writing a letter and growing testicles. You be the judge. I couldn't care less.
Tori does get insulted by a female audience member who is chastized by other audience members, which is always pretty funny. Listen closely.
That's pretty much all that I have to say, so let's wrap this up...

Finally, please seed this as long as you possibly can. As always, no buy, no sell, no mp3. This is a fantastic show that every Tori fan will enjoy. I will post a sample for those of you who remain undecided but IMHO, if you don't grab this, you need professional help. One question remains: this is the early show. WHO HAS THE LATE SHOW ? WHEN WILL IT BE POSTED ? PM me if you have it and if you send it to me, I WILL upload it. Well, Mr. Natural would just like to tell you the following: have fun, don't freak out, don't insult Tori and enjoy the show !
