They are called formative years….I guess they are never over…. Catching myself resorting to these Tori-Montreaux-Videos for years…these performances are just PERFECT
Funny I came across your comment. I was living with my girlfriend at the time when I was 24 years old. She belonged to that rip off Columbia Music House scam- maybe that’s we broke up??! Anyway, after she moved out I kept receiving her CD’s for about a year. Under The Pink was one of those CD’s I kept because I was an asshole. Never unwrapped it to I met an another amazing gal and married her in 1998. My new bride when we moved unwrapped that CD. We listened to it here and there- but it was my ex’s album- not mine. Fast forward me and my bride have three amazing daughters now. Our oldest when she was 9 started playing piano. Of course- she gravitated to that old CD. Listened to it relentlessly. Played it on our newly required piano over, over, and over again. In the years following I took ‘the heir’ to dozens of Tori’s concerts over the course of 10-12 years or so. But, it wasn’t till Covid I actually put that CD on and listened to it. Now, there is very few days that I don’t listen to Tori’s music. Took me 25+ years- but you’re absolutely correct.
I totally agree I think maturity plays a bit part in it❤... I wasn't mature enough to truly get it, and her beauty, in what she Said and did❤.. When I was, like, 20 and pple asked me to watch her just cause I am a readhead😂. I only NOW, more than 10 years later, kinda get it. And her beauty in and out.
@@heaven-sent_and_hell-bentdoesn’t sound like that creepy female-impersonator has been very nice; but then I suppose there’s a lot of people who’d say such things about Margaret Thatcher.
I'd be honored if some Tori Amos fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael and WALKING IN MEMPHIS by Marc Cohn in tribute to 2 early 90s standards. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe.
I remember discovering this song and this woman in 1992 as an impressionable teenager and feeling as if I had come to life. I still get this feeling every time I listen to her.
Little Earthquakes is a master work of composition alone, let alone the writing, the singing, and the keyboards. Truely one of the greatest musicians to walk the face of the earth. Thanks for that! You get nothing but love from Santa Cruz California. Excellent taste!😊
she is so real. pure art. pure truth. absolutely gorgeous. this song meant so much to me when i was a young girl. we are so hard on ourselves. its nice to hear what the goddess has to say at age 50. always giving hope to girls,(and boys) everywhere.
She is so unintentionally beautiful. It drips from her like painful memories. Wish I could have met her when she came to Lex, Ky and played. The wife and I were silently stunned the whole show.
Goosebumps. I’ve been in love with this song since I was 9 and only now, two weeks before my 39th birthday, do I reflect on the lyrics and come to the conclusion she’s talking about my adulthood. It makes it hit so much harder.
Ive seen her live 10 times. Shes amazing. She plays 2 pianos at once all of the time. A lot of people are saying on the grammy commercials. Omg! Toris been doing it for years. Writes. Composes. All of her own songs.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible. Tori plays the piano so sensually. It is clear there is an almost romantic relationship between her and her instrument.
I'm a long time fan...this is just an amazing performance and the emotion just sits out there for the audience to pick up. They almost seem stunned when the end of the song comes about.
this is the most beautiful ive ever seen her look. not trying to be sexy. and provacotive..which is sexy in its own right. but pure and truthful and true to the nature and feeling of the words of the song. very beautiful live version of the song
Every finger in the room Is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces Then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Just what God needs One more victim Why do we Crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day I Crucify myself And my heart is sick of being in chains Got a kick for a dog Beggin' for Love I gotta have my suffering So that I can have my cross I know a cat named Easter He says will you ever learn You're just an empty cage girl If you kill the bird I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Got enough guilt to start My own religion Please be Save me I cry Why do we Crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day And my heart is sick of being in chains
Makes me miss the 90s... Where are today's female artists like this?? that can sing live and play piano like this??? Where is today's Fiona Apple, ALanis MOrrissette, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey.... It's absolutely pathetic what we have today.. Taylor Swift and Ice Spice lmao!!!!
I've listened to her captivating soul tingling music since 1992 she's a angel with a rare gift thank you Tori for your incredible music I named my daughter Tori and she's 24 now that's my tribute to you
I don't know about other concert lovers but Tori is this anomoli that when she's goes on stage you shut.the.fuck.up. especially when playing me and a gun when you thought the audience couldn't be anymore quiet you could hear a pin drop. I mean we clap of course but no singing along no nonsense and it's actually really amazing it's like your in this bubble that's floated out into space and it's just you and her and the piano and it's breathtaking, she's breathtaking,.you don't go to her concerts you experience them it almost feels like a gift, never mind that her set lists are some 😊 always perfect and unless she takes liberties with her songs here and there improves you could swear your listening to actual tracks she's crystal clear and the sound is perfect honestly the price of a ticket it's like what are you willing to pay to have your soul refilled , I dunno a freaking kingdom. Her ,her concerts songs lyrics are so much more than the sum of Thier parts it's amazing. There's all kinds of experiences and no hate to singing along I don't other concerts it's just something I've noticed has anyone else? Its like you get 2 and a hours on Jupiter with just her and a piano how do you put a monotary value on that. Its amazing. Like Fiona apple could have been right up there but like dumb swaying hippies would ruin the view and it was like not an outside thing so they were blocking so many people it was a travesty but still good. You want alien ,go to Tori Amos.
De France. En faisant des recherches sur google, je voulais connaitre la date précise du concert de Tori Amos à Montreux. J'ai appris que sa prestation a eu lieu le 3 juillet. Dorénavant le 3 juillet deviendra pour moi une date Anniversaire de la révélation d'une véritable Déesse de la musique.
Ohhh. Tori I grew up with you ....thankyou ...you are like an earthquake ready to burst but somehow you tame it into nothing but pure emotions and Beauty ...
when I was young in the early nineties with my melodramatic romantic conceptions I could'nt grab it, but now I know: it's not only music, it's pure sex ( and of course its the finest music!)
A true talent. I was so into her at this time. She was the US Kate Bush. I have recently started listening to Tori's music again and she was beautiful and so vey sensual. Married of course now though....ah well.
I love her hands on the piano, I love her eyes that explore and study you, I love her rebel hair, I love her voice speaks the life... The only and unique Tori ...
I just wrote this, and posted this video on my facebook page... " My approach to spirituality as a minister isn't really about high "philosophical" concepts, nor is it about blind "worship' of two dimensional cardboard "supernatural superheros" and a capricious god character, doling out "good" or "bad" based on whim or whether or not we act a certain way. No, instead it's about down to earth things- living our lives in the here and now; how we treat each other... and also how we treat ourselves. Sadly, often our biggest betrayer doesn't come from outside of us- but comes from that little Judas that sits on our shoulder and whispers in our ear that we're not "good enough." That we're not worth of... whatever. I remember my mother always saying that we "all have our crosses to bear" when I was younger I thought that they were foisted upon us from outside. From other people. From other Judases. But through my own battles with suicidal depression I came to understand that often we don't need a Pontius Pilate to drive the nails in... we're pretty good at doing it to ourselves. Many times when I reflect on this "Good" Friday (a term I've never understood really) I'm reminded of the song by Tori Amos, from "back in the day" called "Crucify" as song that I've always wanted to use during an Easter time service, which I think up the notion of Crucifixion from a metaphysical perspective quite aptly. About how we betray our higher selves and pierce our own hearts in countless ways. "I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Just what God needs One more victim Why do we Crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day I crucify myself...""
How Tori plays with audience is amazing, look at her eyes @2'15, she's beautiful, I feel like she talks individually with each and everyone in the crowd. A true great talent in an real artist's body... OMG, I felt in love again with her, don't tell my wife!
by 94 every song was met with roars by the first note... this is so refreshing to see again from back then... she is a unique talent, I really don't care when people speak of other performers, we all know the comparisons, but there is some reason Tori speaks to our souls ... and that is enough for me.
