eleven shows in total, Tori shows that is, on this tour. which means Tori is still only in second place this year, Polly being in the lead (albeit by one show only).
I've seen the same band twice in one year but never seen back to back shows, let alone a whole string of them! Must have been an enjoyable journey.

when going to Tori shows, seeing (and hearing) them back to back is really the right way to catch the variations in her setlists. it's when you skip a couple of shows that you run the risk of getting more songs that she already played on the previous occasion that you went to see/hear her. (because some songs tend to rotate with a certain regularity, a song is more likely to be played again not in the very next show but in the third.)
the journey itself was rather like a knife cutting both ways: some hardships were involved which sort of kept a total balance with the joys of traveling. (some of these hardships were of a kind that can be blamed on other people, certain inconveniences imposed by the train companies, aggravations concerning certain hotels - some of these details make for an interesting story, but I feel reluctant to share them in a forum such as this.)
ToriAmos.com and Everything Tori have posted updates about the release situation for Midwinter Graces.
The executive summary:
* There will be one physical edition in the United States that will include the CD with two bonus tracks (“Comfort and Joy” and “Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht (Silent Night, Holy Night)”), a 20 page booklet and a DVD containing an interview with Tori about the creation and inspiration for the album.
* US iTunes will have a standard and deluxe edition. The deluxe edition will contain an additional bonus track: “Good King Wenceslas.”
* Outside of the US, both regular and deluxe editions will see physical and digital releases. They advise you to check local retailers for more details about these editions.
News: Your Daily Midwinter Graces Update
Posted by woj on Thursday, October 15, 2009 | Releases
Travis reports hearing from a friend working in retail distribution that the regular edition of Midwinter Graces had been pulled — at least in the States. The fact that Amazon’s listing for the regular edition has disappeared seems to bear this news out, though the official sites still reference it and the European and Canadian Amazon stores are still listing a single-CD release of the album. We’ll have to see how that plays out…
Additionally, a little birdie tells us that the deluxe edition DVD will include a 30 minute interview. It’s not clear though at this point if that will be the only special feature of the deluxe edition or if there will be more extras included on either the DVD or in the package.
I think if I remember correctly?
