Way back when Under the Pink was just released I won it from a local Rock radio station's day's question. After I got it I got a followup call asking how I liked the record. It was on the air and the DJ asked me what I tought about it the album Under the Pink by Tori Amos. I answered that I like it very much. Then he asked me that isn't she just another Kate Bush and I asked him that when had Kate Bush played piano. The DJ went quiet, the call was disconnected and he totally changed the subject he was talking.
It’s such a seamless transition, both times she switches in this performance, the one at 3:28 is the one I love. My husband had heard me listen to this countless times, but one day I was like you know why I love this so much? Watch her switch at 3:28. He was like damn, if you weren’t watching her you’d have no idea! It’s seamless!
One of my favorite pieces from Scarlet's Walk. The Ohio bridge is a master class example of mashing songs that are accurately in key. Her execution is flawless!!! She is just perfection
Yeah, the verse is a take-off of Neil Young's Ohio -- which was originally an anti-Nixon statement! Wanna take bets to whom TORI'S statement is intended.... Man what I wouldn't give for an official version of Tori doing "Ohio" in its entirety!
one of her best performances ever that "Ohio" bridge is FANTASTIC and SO intelligent I've heard a few versions of Pancake with Ohio and San Anton is my fav, she sings from her chest voice and it's remarkable
natashaclaire: That's a verse from a song called Ohio I belive. She played it during the 2002 and 2003 tours. "gotta get down to it soldiers are gunning us down should have been gone long ago what if you know her and found her dead on the ground how can you run, how can you run when you know it gotta get down to it soldiers are gunning us down should have been gone long ago what if you know her and found her dead on the ground how can you, how can you run when you know"
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JCS-g3HwXdc.html The original song Ohio by Crosby Stills Nash Young commemorates the shooting of 4 Kent State University students in early 70s during protest to VN war
“Ohio” is a protest song by Neil Young about the Kent State shootings in 1970. The Kent State shootings were the murder of four and wounding of nine other unarmed Kent State University students by the Ohio National Guard during a peace rally opposing US involvement in the Vietnam War.
i highly doubt she does. the instrument she's playing here is a wurlitzer electric that was formerly owned by the band Country Joe and the Fish. She has a harpsichord, but did not bring it with her on the tour this video is from. The Wurlitzer is featured in Pancake and Playboy Mommy for example. The harpsichord is used in Blood Roses and Caught a Lite Sneeze.
i think you should also add that she only ever toured with a harpsichord ONCE and that was in 1996 on the 'Dew Drops Inn' tour in support of Boys For Pele
Robert Schrader I always think of Tamar rice, and sing “child dead in Ohio” what if you knew him and found him dead on the ground, how can you run when you know
i don't think it is. a harpsichord is a baroque keyboard instrument that is plucked with quills. it might be a clavichord though...or a wurlitzer. it could also be a rhodes.
To me this is one of her most straight forward songs, lyrically, about the white invasion of america and the subsequent suffering of the Land and of her native People. "I ordered you a pancake" ... those five words imply so much... the white mans desire to control the natives summed up in a coffee shop scenario: He takes away the other's choice by ordering for him - to have white man food, no less! (i'm australian with a european background btw, just so ppl know im not 'projecting' lol)
@@danielnikolic you are absolutely correct. Also about the abuse going on in the Catholic church and the pancake refers to the wafer the priest puts in the churchgoers mouths during communion.
@avalon9276 Don't know if it's intentional or not, but I love it. On the live side of To Venus and Back I always thought the opening sounded like whales.
Can somebody tell me what she says during the piano palyed improvisation? I can't understand a world but i like the variation from the original... Thanx
Wow this is approaching twenty years late lmao- it’s from a song called Ohio (either by Neil Young, or Crosby Stills Nash and Young, or Crosby Stills and Nash, lol I get them mixed up!), it was written about the Nixon administration, after the National guard (or some similar group) barreled onto a college campus in Ohio, killing at least one female student. The incident inspired the writing of the song, which she’s singing the chorus of: “Gotta get down to it, soldiers are gunning us down, should have been gone long ago, what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground, how can you run when you know?” (Repeat)
@RoddRocker Jesus told the scribes and the pharasees (the ones that wrote the books) that there father was a devil, that he was a murderer from the beginning. He also said "I know what YOUR book says 'an eye for eye' but I tell you to love your enemies." So was there father His?
This version is not Scarlet Fever's version on the album. I am looking for the version on the album at the time it came out. It reminded me of my 'Homies' late wife. I know the lyrics said something about a braid. My friends wife Andrea a native American girl who married a white male' Aaron Gabel'. The song on the album meant a lot to me
R May : The original song is called Ohio, by Crosby Stills Nash & Young, a tribute to the 4 student killed at Kent State University in Ohio during a Vietnam War protest.
Great song, nice performance, but lacks the awesomeness the record provides, without the "Pancake" electric guitar part. That missing guitar part drives the song on the record. Don't need the Ohio part here. Neil Young sucks. Tori Amos is great but she needs to tour with an electric guitarist. That Scarlets Walk album is guitar heavy and to leave guitars off LIVE, is a miss for me.
