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

Me too! I need her voice right now, her passion and energy.

I'm finally mature enough to appreciate her music, I'm just speechless at her vocals and talent, what a moving performance.

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.

[@grecogabo]

One of the best songs EVER.

[@fiddleandfart]

A hugely talented woman, who knocks you out with her great songs, and quite fabulously sensual performances, on so many levels..! Have always regretted that the equally great, and inevitably compared, Kate Bush, couldn't continue to perform like this... She was pretty special at the piano, too ...

[@iviui2d3i2]

Yeah, drawing comparisons with Kate Bush are certainly warranted due to the initially undeniable similarities. However, if one considers a perspective that is somewhat based on song context and life experiences, I've often found myself feeling that, though highly similar, Tori has somewhat transcended past the comparison. Bush was somewhat "bred" into her artistic lead role of being a highly talented female pianist from quite a young age and therefore many of Kate's hits from the early part of her career consisted of songs that I don't feel were quite as "lived in", nor mature in their message as Amos's songs were. When Tori finally got away from that weird, "electro-pop(?)" type sound that was mostly forced upon her by her label (since, I think it was Atlantic Records execs were holding her back artistically), particularly during the "Y Kant Tori Read" phase of her early career in the very late '80s, she'd already had such a deep pool of poetic life experiences itching to be brought to life through music, whereas for Kate, the songs she had put out did indeed share an undeniable harmony with Tori's songs years later. Tori's musical content, and possibly even more importantly, the context of Tori's songs and no hold barred raw emotion was a big part of the difference between these two superstars' catalogs. When digging deep into Tori's daring and vulnerable expressiveness that never pulled any punches, I think it elevates her beyond Kate Bush. But even though I've somewhat shown that I've "picked a side" so to speak, that isn't the case at all. They are both equipped with raw, other-worldly talent that so few humans are ever able to realize to themselves across the span of their entire lives, let alone to be practically born with it in the sense that Kate and Tori were certainly blessed to be.

[@Melissamms]

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 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.
