Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl (Glastonbury '98)

I loved her plugged tour, it was the best concert experience for me. 5 and 1/2 weeks was pretty good, too, but I was crazy far away.

[@3rdstone1]

Her band is on a ridiculous groove here (that bass playing is on another level), and Tori's her usual amazing self murdering that Bösendorfer piano through the end of the song. The whole performance just GROOVES. An excellent performance over all, and I really miss this era when ridiculously talented artists like Tori Amos actually could end up on like MTV and be considered "mainstream".

[@SterlingRe]

Here in 2023 listening to this for the first time and loving it. My god I wish I had seen seen her live during this period of her career. Brilliant!!

[@tripleos]

She is arguably one of the best artists in the past 2 decades, just awesome

[@druski3751]

She’s certainly very, very skilled.

[@martinjpickering1256]

I was in the crowd. I fancied her a lot from her music videos that had been out in the 90s. I was mesmerised watching her. Never forgot it. I swear she looked right at me too. Ha ha

[@danieldougan269]

I'm a piano / keyboard guy, and I'm always in awe of Tori's skills. But I also have to give a shout out to her drummer. Pay close attention, and you'll hear some incredible drumming!

[@brucelee9750]

Absolutely spot on with what you say, and the bassist is tight.

[@curiousted2725]

The drummer is Matt Chamberlin and the bassist is Jon Evans

[@charlottewebster4233]

3:09 Love how gets all revved and goes for it with her the solo and they all follow suit jamming and having a nice happy time 🕺

[@GoblinGuy333]

Other than the three genius musicians in Rush, I haven't experienced three musicians so in tune with each other and so talented to boot. Tight as hell!!!!

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Check her out 2003 Oxygen concert in New York

[@vasilisneorun1700]

Good to see the smartphone free audience ...just young people enjoying the fabulous music

[@levent8208]

GOOOODDDD POINT !

[@glassstatue]

I enter another stratosphere when she plays that solo

[@rebeculla]

Super chills, every time

[@rich4604]

She is amazing I love her since I was young

[@chrissi3193]

Boy were we blessed to have the likes of Tori, Kate, Leonard and Prince , Nick Cave all at one and the same time. Such talent, such big things to say. God loves them.

[@ChrisHuey]

Absolute masterclass, incl. Matt C on drums. Incredible musicians.

[@jeffsec]

I bet a bunch of people decided they wanted to learn piano that day.

[@dumbstupid5065]

And not one of them ever played as good as Tori.

[@danieldougan269]

Don't forget the incredible drum work! You're not going to keep up with Tori playing standard 4/4 boom-chick beats. It's played in a half-time shuffle, and it's crazy fast. It's obvious he's trying to play with her note-for-note at some points much like drummer John Bonham of Led Zeppelin used to play with guitarist Jimmy Page note-for-note. Degree of difficulty for piano and drums: 8/10, which is damn high for rock.

[@boombunmi9061]

Breathtaking, if I was there I would have collapsed.

[@zuraven]

OMG!!! I still get goose bumps whenever I see any of her videos...I got the chance to go to 4 of her concerts back in the 90's and it was just amazing how she exerts all of her energy in a way that is completely unlike any other artists that I have seen live! Love her!

[@lavatr8322]

I was born in 1997 and the footage is of 1998 watching in 2023 Fck I do have a good taste in music, im blessed. came here coz of Netflix series - Beef.

[@timpricedrums]

Matt Chamberlain absolutely killing it

[@giorgiomartinico3774]

You're right! He's a great drummer!

[@happypapi1903]

Not many people can pull off Bernard Purdie's half time shuffle other than Bernard Purdie. Jeff Porcaro and John Bonham could, and Matt Chamberlain.

[@idunno512]

Bring back the 90s

[@michciu85]

one of the best performances I've ever seen! I love her ….:)

[@JamesBrowningII]

It's great to see them zoom into the crowd and see guys singing with her. Most of the guys I know who know I'm a fan assume I'm gay like her only fans are all homosexual. I always love being part of the crowd at her concerts. It's different than seeing any other performer live. Her crowds of fans are like a big family. A Really dysfunctional family but that's the best part! :) Ears with feet unite!

[@constancemiller3753]

👂👣! See you at Christmas dinner, coz.

[@bobnsand]

Fantastic !!!! They're perfect together, best vocals, best bassist, best drummer, simply the best production I've ever heard...I bookmarked this one ;) GOOSEBUMPS !!!

[@levent8208]

That comment is 15 years old !

[@johnroberts3723]

She's too good for words!.

[@Umano86]

Tobias basses...what a solid sound!! Amazing performance

[@SamuelGriffin]

killer drumming too.

[@spuddeer60606]

wow great performance! and that bassist rocks

[@DinoAndSeal]

Jon Evans, I think. Phenomenal musician in his own right. Tori's work with him and Matt is my favourite.

[@3rdstone1]

That bass playing is just ridiculous. But the whole band (minus the poor guitarist in this particular song) just grooves like an excellent power trio. And then Tori's vocals on top of that.

[@glassstatue]

great sound crisp,clear video, audience,can practically feel the sweat dripping off of tori,the next best thing to being there...

[@homogenic]

would KILL to see her live at this point

[@Olya_Nirvanova]

❤Боже, любимая с самого детства, сейчас мне 37,и я была на её концерте в 2014м и сбылась моя мечта😊

[@technogear5175]

Вот это супер, песня класная, тоже бы хотел вживую послушать

[@constancemiller3753]

Do you think she calls the piano the next day.....🤔

[@riverwilding]

Do you call the love of your life the next day? Nah, they live together.

[@gregtrenchard7168]

That piano costs more than my house…

[@user-xu8ll5mk8n]

XD 👍🏻

[@INTJ24]

that was the best version of it that i have witnessed

[@omantim8727]

I was at this!!! Superb gig!!!

[@ksturner8453]

154K views with only 90 comments??? How can this be?? Regardless this is my favorite live Tori song ever!! On a scale of 1-10 it is a 1000!!

[@missdepechegurl]

I agree, the Plugged Tour was Tori's best ever!!!

[@lennoth]

wtf, this performance is insane!

[@gamerlest509]

The piano at 5:03 blows my mind more every time I hear it

[@JV-dr1ti]

Wish I could take a bus that would drop me off back in the 90’s.

[@loushark6722]

Superlative 👌

[@tenderbloodrose]

Best live concert EVER.

[@1Beatlemaniac1]

She's unique

[@tenderbloodrose]

I still think Glastonbury holds her best performances.

[@boombunmi9061]

Never a better example of turning up for a big occasion, class.

[@automatic7713]

The jumping up & down, the tossing of the hair back. .there's only so much a man can take in one go .. arh gorgeous

[@Dajana1962]

gorgeous Tori

[@Rainbowbrite10]

SO FIERCE. FUCKING LOVE HER

[@punkbjork]

she plays piano the way a rock star plays guitar, moving her body as much as the instrument allows, improvising and showing off like a rock god ego-tripping with a dramatic solo as if time has ceased to exist and it's just him and the guitar, the only things in the entire world. but she doesn't lose herself in the music; she rather becomes herself, and steps into her power. her other performances are full of passion and emotional intensity, and she brings effortless freedom and uninhibited energy to every show, but this one in particular has an almost exaggerated bravado and swagger i've never seen a woman emulate so strongly. but it's not that she's possessed by the music; she possesses it. sometimes she lightly teases and flirts with the piano as if it's her plaything, and appears to seduce the audience, slowly trapping them under her spell; but here, she fully dominates and straddles the instrument. there is a raw primal sexuality to her that is simultaneously very masculine and very feminine. other female singers attack the crowd, snarling from a place of deep pain and darkness, but she pays them no mind, simply kicks the piano's ass and acts on whatever urge she feels. i think she genuinely lives in her own world, does everything for her own pleasure and doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks of her, but also enjoys being in the centre of attention and shamelessly soaks up as much of the spotlight as she can absorb into herself. no one can tame her. she'll bite your face off before you have a chance to open your mouth, and forget you ever existed in the next three seconds. she is a narcissist, an exhibitionist, a brazen androgynous rebel and everything i aspire to be.

[@dumbstupid5065]

She also really, REALLY enjoyed playing back then. She was really open about it. And that's all I'm going to say about that. People can figure out the rest... or not.

[@faridddddd]

What a comment! Sensational she was, undeniable transfer of energy for anyone to witness

The piano section, and the force it has in the song is prominent. I am very sorry to say she has not taken full advantage of this beautifull song in her career...

[@sorcerer101567]

Well I like Kate. I have so much respect for her. But Tori has done and said all the things we wish Kate would have the balls to do. Kate doesn't exactley keep her fans satisfied does she? One tour in her whole career...13 years between "The Red Shoes" and "Aerial". We have has a Tori album pretty much every 2 years since 1992 and an amazing tour to follow each. Plus, Tori says and sings about woteva the hell she feels about, regardless of who it offends. Kate plays it safe a lot of the time.

[@Jim1971a]

sorcerer101567 who is Kate

[@SilentAssassin01234]

@@Jim1971a The Master... Kate Bush

[@callen7258]

why do people always feel the need to compare brilliant female artists

[@punkbjork]

what the hell do you mean "plays it safe"?? this woman has written about fucking incest and religion and clinical insanity, she's covered all kinds of taboos with an easy smile on her face, dancing around lightly as if a weird crazy princess in a ballroom, constantly making the disturbed feel comfortable and the comfortable feel disturbed. her debut 'the kick inside' came out when she was a goddamn teenager and she pushed to make her first single a strange ballad with literature-inspired lyrics sung entirely in falsetto. also, listen to 'the dreaming' and tell me that's not a progressive art pop masterpiece. that whole album is full of risks, don't tell me she hasn't taken any. she literally does whatever the fuck she wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks; she invites and welcomes us into her world if we want to explore, but doesn't change herself to try to please us, she takes up all the space she wants in the way she wants to. it's clear you haven't listened to her best work. go give 'hounds of love' a listen too, that's also a unique and beautiful album.
