Drummer reacts to "Precious Things" (Live) by Tori Amos 

YES PLEASE!!

Yes listen to The Waitress live on In Session

this!

I'll add it to the list. Sounds great! She was fantastic here. I can't wait to hear it.

Came here to say this

try Aurora:)

Winter live at Montreux!!!!! Tori was 1st person to be admitted to the Peabody School of Music at 5 and expelled at 11! Piano prodigy. Live she’s amazing!!

one of my favourite albums. very special

Oh, and I'm serious about this... do not binge Tori Amos... letting that much bleed get into you can be seriously dangerous. Small doses only.

She wasn’t kicked out of Juliard. She went to Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.

@@mikeholmes5308 that’s what happened to me. I’ve binged on the entire little earthquake album and I had to stop functioning in certain areas for a while. Great review.

@@michaelfloss845Thanks for the correction, I came up with that factoid off the top of my head.

She was accepted into Peabody at the age of 5, not 10, she was the youngest to this day.

It was at 10/11 that she was kicked out of Peabody due to musical insubordination. She’s a legend.

I would also add the next two: From the Choir Girl Hotel and To Venus and Back. After that, honestly, I don't have the same love. But Tori Amos is my absolutel #1 favorite artist.

@@Marnee4191 I would add that Strange Little Girls has some really good covers, Time, Real Men, New Age, I'm Not In Love, all great. American Doll Posse and Scarlet's Walk aren't her strongest albums, IMO, but there are some real highlights in them.

She's my #1 favorite artist, period. Next up: Tool, Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Disturbed, System of a Down.

Sessions at West 54th all day ❤❤

I was thinking the same. Why would someone request this song, and request one version of it without a drummer, when this channel is a drummer reacting? I LOVE this version. But I also love every single other version of this, and my most favorite is off of the live album with Chamberlain. So, I don't really understand the request. (The bassist and guitarist are spot-on with that version as well.)

Cornflake Girl is from her second studio album, "Under the Pink," which came out in 1994. She also went to Peabody, not Juilliard, but was kicked out at age 11 for what she said was "musical insubordination."

@@MrDemimondeThank you for correcting that.

Very intense. She has the soul of a poet.

That's awesome mark! I will have to check out more from her. This was great 👍

@@L33Reacts try this version of the same song. Outstanding drumming by Matt Chamberlain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kpk_ZjdGPnE.htmlsi=w6nan5DN21dv_dBj

You can tell she likes to play unorthodox. Free form. Very fluid.

@@L33ReactsSometimes she has another keyboard behind her, sits sideways on the bench, and plays them both at the same time.

If I remember right, she said she was kicked out for “musical insubordination”

@@markdrechsler5660 Yes, she didn't want to learn what they wanted to teach her.

Not Juliard. She went to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.

The "winter" from Montreaux, 91 (the same performance as this one) is one of the most passionate performances of a single song I've ever seen.

"Rocket's Tail' featuring David Gilmour on guitar" -- I did not know this! I love that song and it has always reminded me of Pink Floyd! As for the Tori/Kate comparisons, I've always heard them from people meaning to compliment Tori. I also just think the world wants another Kate Bush.

@@5tran9eMCMLXXII Hi and thanks for taking the time to respond to me. David Gilmour contributed two important guitar elements to her 1989 album "The Sensual World." The other song is "Love and Anger" and they come together on that very, very well. But for me, 'Rocket's Tail' really catches something spectacular and should be filed under the heading 'Songs only Kate Bush would do.' How do you explain what it would be like to be one of the fireworks in a firework display? She somehow brings that experience to life in this song and if it weren't for 'This Woman's Work' would have been a great finale to the album. One other very significant contribution from David Gilmour in Kate Bush's music that really stands out for me, is that he gives backing vocals on 'Pull Out The Pin' one of the greatest high peaks on her truly extraordinary, signpost, album 'The Dreaming' ( of course he is credited with "discovering" her and he is also credited as co-producer on her first album and she recorded 'The Man With The Child In His Eyes' in his own studio when she was 16 having written it when she was 13 - I know you already know her music so you probably already know most of this, these comments are really for @L33Reacts and others who are unfamiliar with her work.) In relation to Tori Amos I do have to say that I have come across a large amount of unfair criticisms of her in relation to Kate Bush, mostly here in the UK. I think a lot of that criticism is very unfair. It is fairly inevitable that many female solo recording artists will end up being compared to either Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell which is always going to be a very hard comparison to come through unscathed. To me, Joni is probably really the first and Kate is probably really the most fantastical, experimental, and inventive. To me, Every other female lives in their shadows.

I totally agree. The red top performance and, especially grand piano sound...! But, Lee, beware... "me and a gun" is very disturbing and especially a father of girls or victim of these things my be very rough.

We don't agree, though. The '91 performance, with the blue top, is best for a first listen. Yes, you get a better piano in the '92 performance, but I feel the first performance you get a more emotional performance, her parents are in the audience for this one, you get a more historically significant performance as it is the earliest recording of her playing this material, she's sticking to the album arrangement for the most part, with some flourishes for the live performance. I think '92 is great to see how her performance of the song evolves after a year, but you miss a lot by skipping the first year.

No this was my first exposure to her! I'll have to check that out. Thank you!
