… Probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me!
About a week ago I was watching TV at home and suddenly they announced that Tori Amos is going to perform in Sydney in one weeks time. Off course I though it was some kind of joke – it is not possible that some one who I have desired to see for 5 years is suddenly coming to the town were I live! But I guess I just have to get use to the fact that I leave in the big city now and I don’t have to see the second hand artist lives anymore.
So on Monday morning, I looked it up from the internet and there it was: Saturday 15th of September, Tori Amos, Sydney Opera House, ticket $120. …hmm that’s about the same as my weekly salary, but suddenly I realised that I don’t even care how much it costs – I had the money and I bought the ticket. I have been waiting this moment so so long. The moment were I can actually go to listen an artist who I truly love and enjoy. So far I have just seen the artists that I can see – because every year we get about 1-2 international starts to Estonia.
While walking to the concert I was a bit scared – maybe my expectations are do high, maybe I will walk out with disappointment. Luckily, the experience that I got was far from that.
Saturday at 8 o’ clock I walked into Sydney Opera House. I got a seat at the box which was just above the stage –the view was good. While walking in to the room, I realised why the Opera house is so famous – the acoustics were just amazing. So good that even a crappy Ozzy-rock warm-up band sounded quite good.
At 9 pm – the concert hall is filled with people who don’t fit to the place quite well –hippie people, lot of gey guys and girls who want to look like Tori.
9.05, room goes dark, band starts playing – Tori walks in. She is wearing Blond wing, smoking – she does here interesting looking poses on the piano. There is a piano and a electric piano on the stage and she sits in the middle of them. The concert is amazing, audients is almost in heaven – going crazy from the pleasure that Tori is giving us. If feel like going through journey of my life – feeling 10 different strong feeling in 2 hours. She is just amazing – at one stage she was standing in the middle of the pianos playing one with one hand, the other with other hand and singing at the same time. So who ever thinks that she is just a piano player who doesn’t do any shows, your perception is way wrong. Somewhere in the middle I started thinking what is so special about here. I started focusing on her piano notes – soon I realised, that her voice and the piano just go so well together that sometimes it is hard to tell them a difference. All of her songs are like small little stories that have begging, end and the culmination point. And off course not to mention the echo of the concert hall – I have never heard so good quality live!
So seriously – this was one of the best moments of my life so far! If I‘d had a change I would do it again – even if it costs way more than I can afford.
I praise the person who introduced me to Tori Amos music! Thank you!
