Tori Amos - Pancake (Ohio)

[@topilinkala1594]

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.

[@Awwwsomebunnies]

Hahaha …. Nice 👍

[@donniesilva]

4:23 That switching of pianos... so majestic.

[@bettynelms9899]

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!

[@Sweetforthesoul]

What I would give for good quality on this clip! I love it.

[@DesigNatedAudio]

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

[@stacielouise183]

Holy smokes she’s a talented being!

[@theps22chorus]

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!

[@nomansland120]

I've watched this 100 times and each time I get goosebumps during that ohio bridge. amazing. if this concert is on DVD/BlueRay please let me know

[@LSUpatriot83]

I was at this show and I also agree that this is one of my favorite performances of Pancake.

[@zyoeru]

The Ohio bridge is my favourite part of Pancake.

[@damiencale]

Oh my God. Goosebumps. This is awesome, so moving.

[@beatacatthegreat]

She's f*cking awesome!!! I love this song to death and this interpretation is so hot and wild, that it makes my heart beat faster.

[@Sam-ok8bz]

can't get over how good the bridge is, wow

[@madonnko]

OMG, that is sooo goood

[@torikilledmymonkey]

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"

[@justinsomething]

wow. truly powerful.

[@Mateus.Matthew]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHS2XpppfdyLmsU 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

[@Mateus.Matthew]

This song is not by Tori Amos originally, it's from early 70s by (I think) Neil Young.

[@boxofboommike]

“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.

[@Yuckycarrot]

3:26-4:31

[@Webwicked]

Stunning! Gave me goosebumps!

[@kevin104z]

what a great song..bk then,i lived and breathed tori,,saw her many times..

[@dudecosta]

I love this version!!

[@demiliberatore8700]

Holy shit the vocal control the oneness with the band mates. I can’t take it! It’s too good. Genius.

[@Sweetforthesoul]

That. was. amazing! Goosebumps through the whole cover bridge..

[@easykillthe]

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

[@michaelpepper3110]

sublime. there will never be another tori.

[@Kai4723]

best version ever!

[@CarolH2O]

god i love this song!

[@citizenoftheplanet137]

This song is fucking amazing always

[@Spinny78]

BEST VERSION EVER (agreed!)

[@TheArcaneMaster]

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.

[@day2282]

love this song its my fave from tori thanks for sharing it ^_^

[@tracys694]

That bridge section 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@romaknyazev8508]

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! LOVE HER!

[@krissyhagen4807]

Best songwriter ever!

[@kriegerkaiser]

These were the days.

[@bodyelectronic]

So strong!!!

[@bozo47p]

incredible musician.....

[@robertschrader]

Kind of crazy how relevant this is, 14 years later.

[@julesgainey9677]

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

[@Chrysalis990]

Its relevant in January 2019. Again! When will this stop?

[@sarahm.4926]

You could have spared her, oh but no. Messiahs need people dying In their name. You say "I ordered you a pancake." You say "I ordered you a pancake."

[@mbop75]

Thanks arsonheart. Enjoyed immensely

[@sorcerer101567]

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

[@S_E_R_]

Just so damn intense.

[@NARIZ]

awesoome!

[@joshuamadden1684]

wow

[@Jonischers]

I LOVE YOU TORI AMOS

[@dboles27]

it's the reverse - the rhodes is the full-size keyboard underneath the red wurlitzer

[@kenalvarezf]

genius

[@tonysproule3408]

I'm not sure who's fooling who here, as I watch your decay.... Sounds like 2021

[@fuckyou96]

God i wish i wuz at this concert!

[@jessicabolton3615]

🙏🙏❤❤

[@homogenic73]

Holy shit !!! ❤❤❤

[@Objectification]

I need this today 😍 utterly fucking fabulous x

[@TheArcaneMaster]

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.

[@amandacook9340]

YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TOHAVE WITNESSED AND TRULEY THE MOST GEORGEOUS WOMAN IN THE WORLD THANKYOU I am here💖💛

[@justinsomething]

you ARE here.

[@mrein7591]

goosebumps

[@joshuamadden1684]

gotta get down to it

[@lutalice]

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]

I'd say this is about preachers who claimed they can divert hurricanes, but couldn't save someone ("her"). And who are (closeted) homophobes.

[@JusticeForWilmien]

@@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.

[@tonysproule3408]

Beginning sounds Trent Reznor inspired, prove me wrong ...

[@KarbonKidZero]

This clip is an example of why I've seen Tori so many times in concert...and counting! *creams* =)

[@fatyetskinny221]

TORRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@TheArcaneMaster]

It's an electric wurlitzer.

[@billybob5925]

honestly.

[@ohsinnaman]

lol and basically all of scarlet's walk.

[@tenderbloodrose]

fierce. I'm not a huge fan of this song,but it sure is lovely! and this performance was great

[@amandacook9340]

AND THE DUH, deserving you know what I'm tryna say 💛

[@vins1979]

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

[@aaron_4384]

Electric wurlitzer, sorry its 15 years late tho

[@bettynelms9899]

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)

[@vins1979]

@@bettynelms9899 thank you for your reply. Better late than never 😇

[@NymphetamineOrchid]

@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.

[@KICKstartchange]

agreed

[@foreignwords]

No... she doesn't. She calls a harpsichord a harpsichord. That was only used in the 1996 era. They're not electric.

[@mysticrubymoon]

I hear it.

[@KarbonKidZero]

Incendiary!

[@NymphetamineOrchid]

@ourlovegotlost Ohio by Neil Young

[@dudecosta]

Ron Paul?

[@ravynkat]

Jon gettin' filthy!

[@LSUpatriot83]

sorry, i was a the san antonio show.

[@Chrysalis990]

@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?

[@tonysproule3408]

Wonder if Neil approves?

[@vizio707]

I'll bet Brady was wise to this.

[@annarajala8938]

pakko kuunnella

[@terranpettis9896]

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

[@ellenamos]

it's called harpsichord

[@Theire1]

what does this have to do with OHIO ?

[@Mateus.Matthew]

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.

[@ellenamos]

well.. she calls it harpsichord

[@johne.harpermusic6628]

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.
