I saw Tori perform this along with Smells Like Teen Spirit on the Little Earthquakes tour. It was in a small club and I was very close to the front. She was making lots of eye contact throughout the entire show. Needless to say, I fell head over heels in love with her that unforgettable day. By far one of the best performances I've seen in my life.
Of course it does but upon hearing this makes me appreciate her originality. She’s just a natural. There’s no denying Jones’ Hammond Organ work on this song…it’s so beautiful and as unique as a fingerprint. Unless you already know about it, please look up the Zeppelin live version from Montreaux 1970. He does an awesome intro on the B-3 organ.
well............sheer perfection.goose bumps......there are artists ........then there is tori amos !!!!!!!!!! i have loved tori since i first heard her 26 years ago.amazing origanal music and covers.....this my favorite cover .also hear somewhere over the rainbow .....wow .............
Nobody could have performed this anyway wonderful song better! Plus, it expresses exactly the almost "magical" connection, which my - unfortunately - past wife and I had. Two people, who all the time had been grateful and thankful for having each other in a not so nice world...
Very few cover performances give me that closed eye feeling where the sound tickles your soul like the original. This is an exception. Tori doesn't try to be Robert Plant. She puts her raw vocal attitude and vulnerability into this performance and makes it her own. It's an absolute joy to hear. Keyboard arrangement is outstanding ! Thank you to Rick Beato for turning me onto this performance ! Bravo Tori !
It takes a lot of punch to play a CP80 Yamaha like Tori does, which is a testament to how important what she expresses is. His talent has no limits and we can only love her when hearing her play and sing. Wonderful artist.
She did release a studio EP called Crucify that had three covers (Thank You, Angie and Smells Like Teen Spirit) as well as different (better) versions of Crucify and Winter.
If I'm not mistaken this is from Montreux 1991 before her superstardom. Her first solo release Me and the Gun was released in October, this was filmed in July. She was here opening for Moody Blues.
Sheeeeit, LOL, claerly you haven't heard Zeppelin's "softer side" much, heh. May I recommend "The Rain Song," "Going to California," and "That's the Way," for starters. Enjoy! And yes, props to Tori for her gorgeous homage to this beauty!
@@debbie3081 OK - we agree that we + everyone else can also Love Tori + Love Her Music.! ♪ (I possibly maybe have way more concert/Tori memorabilia as I'm a major collector.! But that's all good. haha XoXoX ♪
I've loved her cover of this song more than almost every cover (and even original work) she has ever done. Maybe since this was my first knowledge of the song...didn't hear Zeppelin's original until many years later...I think this tops the original. Imo.
Howard Flogel Hi Howard! I heard this before I knew the original, too! I adore Zep's own version now of course but Tori's performance here has me in tears every time!
That whole section is gone, and I swear she sings "tears of run thrust in the days gone by" - how "loves lost" became "run thrust", I'm not quite sure that's even a thing . . .
If the sun refused to shine I would still be lovin' you When mountains crumble to the sea There'll still be you and me Kind woman, I give you my all Kind woman, nothing more Little drops of rain whisper of the pain Tears of loves lost in the days gone by My love is strong, with you there is no wrong Together we shall go until we die My, my, my Inspiration's what you are to me Inspiration, look see And so today, my world it smiles Your hand in mine, we walk the miles Thanks to you it will be done For you to me are the only one Happiness, no more be sad Happiness...I'm glad
Torrid.Tori tearing up the scabs of yet another novella soundtrack and Owning it as her own!..... Sadly the crowd kept thinking Which Album Is THIS On?? 😂😁😅😂😁😄😅😄😂
@@jkk5223 you are right it is my opinion that this is a terrible version of a great song. Her adaptation of the song is not representative of the original and therefore has lost any meaning and that is not really the point of doing a cover is it?
@@neiljackson3384 I respect your opinion. If everybody liked the same thing, music would be bland. I'm curious of what you think of Tool's version of No Quarter? I'm a huge Tool fan, but I like Zeppelin's original better. And I still think that that song is the best song to listen to when I'm smoking a little greenery. Just my opinion. ✌️
