1st San Fran Show 12/20/02|close|

Friday, December 20th, San Francisco California:

This was it, I waited outside the Bill Graham Civic all day in the rain, and I finally got to the front of the meet and greet where I was able to get my pic with Tori, and give her a hand-made bracelet with appropriate pewter charms.

This venue sucks even more than the Universal Ampitheatre! I swear, unless you are sitting in the frontal middle two sections or the first row of the middle of the balcony, you can't see crap to save your life. Most of the audience is treated to having a black curtain in their faces unless they wish to contort themeslves to a full ninety degree angle so they are at least facing the stage. Tori was again on the ball tonight. While sitting on my coat to see, Tori played:

Wampum Prayer
a sorta fairytale
Caught A Lite Sneeze
Sweet Sangria
Tear In Your Hand
-- new song, beautiful as the album version
Concertina -- good to hear again, loved it live the first time
Precious Things
Pandora's Aquarium
Wednesday

Winter -- I couldn't help crying during this song. Very rarely do sensory experiences like these bring me to tears, but I have been in a bad place these past weeks with my mom in the hospital, and it kinda caught me off guard...
Landslide -- I love playing this live myself
Cooling

Your Cloud -- I love the lyrics to this song, and this is my favorite Scarlet song to hear live. She sings the counter melody to the bridge first before she sings the verse that goes with it, the "Stay right here" line...
Siren -- Wow! I feel so lucky to have heard this one live. It was funny, because while I was singing along, I think most people in the audience didn't even know what song it was.
Girl
Virginia
Take To The Sky
I Can't See New York
Spring Haze

1st Encore
Taxi Ride
Putting The Damage On

2nd Encore
Somewhere Over The Rainbow (solo) -- awesome! Was this a request, (can anyone confirm?)
