Absolutely Tori
I am still surprised that Boston crowds don't get more rowdy during rock shows. Sometimes it's like being in high school again, where everyone's too cool to dance. But that doesn't stop the city's shows from selling out! Even from row ZZ of the Orpheum (yeah, that's the last seat on the top balcony), my friend Kelly and I could see Tori Amos in full sparkle and leather last night, chanting out from the multiple keyboards she was straddling on stage. I haven't seen her live since college, but remembered yesterday how fantastic she is live - dynamic, intoxicating, and even funny as she introduced a new song called "Beauty Queen," I think, making a jab at Donald Trump and slowly winding into her song at the same time. Since we weren't in anyone's clear view, we danced like fools, and made inane comments. Last night, we were the peanut gallery. But I think we clapped the loudest of anyone in the whole theater.
