The full-length performance from a 2005 Viktor&Rolf fashion show, with Song of Solomon improv.

Somewhere the anger ends, my dear.

[@LizaLavolta]

Can somebody tell the models to move? I'm trying to see TORI! ;)

[@adiemissworld]

I can breathe again when she sings. It's like she plays just to me.

[@jammer5166]

opoiioiooopip

[@remhenshaw4313]

her music will be played at my funeral. and hopefully at my wedding if I have one.

[@gattacca94]

Mine too!❤️

[@lconger]

I'm hoping to be listening to her..., at my death. Morbid?

[@InfiniteSpiral112358]

with Tori singing, especially this song.... i just dont know how anyone expected anyone to even be able to pay attention to anything else... how could the designers think people could pay attention to the 'fashion show'?? the models seem almost absurd...

[@barbarakirk1451]

Unfortunately the models walking around her bring forth bad memories of dancers getting in the way of the guest performer on Strictly Come Dancing, if not the fashion parade on Knowing Me Knowing You where Rebecca Front portrayed Yvonne Boyd, the fashion designer.

[@DrDonnyTheBookofYou]

This music was EXACTLY what I needed today!!!! I just realized I have been holding onto some anger for a Rreally long time.

[@sonicsteven1]

I have loved Tori from the beginning. She is an original genius. That said, why do women's clothes get to be art while men's clothes are slight variations on the same old tired fashions? Not fair.

[@forestdweller8164]

This might be the furthest out in time, i.e. 2005 (not sure what month), that I've seen a video of Tori BEFORE the plastic surgery. It's always interested me to see how she looked before getting 'work' done, and then AFTER. There was a period very shortly after this time, where you didn't see any of her, she stayed away from attention (videos/pictures), and then the American Doll Posse album came out with several 'characters,' and it was obvious the 'work' had been done. Not hating on her for that; it's just really cool to see what may be the LAST video of her before she got the work done. Thanks for posting the video!!

[@soniachambers6460]

Can't understand why she got plastic surgery so young ...

[@laurengriffin5713]

Once beekeeper came out, she always looked surprised. Ive wondered if she was unhappy with the result and is using the glasses to camouflage a lift gone wrong. As such a feirce torch carrier for women everywhere, it saddens me she was so unhappy with her appearance and aging. She is such a glorious and radiant being, I wish everyone's love were enough to drown out and fill whatever motivates the need in her to do this. It is weirdly distracting, and unfortunately becoming more so.

[@raisingirl88]

HOLY FUCK! I've never seen this performance and now that I've just did I have tears in my eyes... I couldn't care less of those models when there is that MIRACLE and her piano right there. She played and sang PERFECTLY (it's really absurd that some people think she wasn't that better in her 2005 performances) without stopping for 16 minutes, she's IMMENSE.

[@CygnusRoc]

The performance is amazing but the length isn’t really. Some prog rock songs stretch between 20 and 45 minutes.

[@raisingirl88]

@@CygnusRoc I know but usually in prog rock songs there is much space also for instrumental only parts, here instead she basically sings and plays alone non-stop for a whole lot of time! :')

[@CygnusRoc]

@@raisingirl88 Yes that’s true, I just meant as far as performing a long piece of music. But a lot of this one has repeated sections too. Of course at the same time there’s a fair amount of variance in the lyrics so that would be tough to remember seamlessly. But then she is a professional musician with a lot of experience.

[@OpheliaDarkling]

I had no idea this was a fashion show thing...initially thought some strange woman was walking onto the stage then saw the giant pillow around her head as she posed and it all made sense lol...peculiar combination but she performed beautifully as usual.

[@poelimanjo]

I was listening in full concentration when the first model came up... Couldn't hold my laugh in xD

[@marykrismoss1861]

Maybe Bjork in one of her wild outfits singing at a fashion show but not Tori. That's the wrong performer for the vibe of such a- it's all about what we look like- kind of a shindig.

[@casandrabullock9497]

that woman takes my breath away everytime I watch her play

[@MySensualWorld]

A billion thank yous! Tori was in full manifestation of the Goddess in this divine performance.

[@mat-4636]

Born to sing and play the piano. God given talent and she uses her talent to the fullest.

[@hmh1978]

until the war is gone I sleep but My heart waketh but do You have one? I said do You have one? do You have one now? do You have this thing inside Your bones? do You have it or is it too old? do You have one of those do You have one of those? You sit, A part

[@nauticalnun407]

I like how she says 'He' right when the male model stops by her.

[@WilderWein77]

Her music is so strong and profound that the fashion show around it becomes a contrast of the superficial.

[@TinyEpics]

Perfectly worded. I was having the same thought.

[@eleanor4759]

Certainly. A very bizarre coexistence lol.

[@chouchoue]

@@eleanor4759 Tori loves fashion & clothes. She hired a famous makeup artist to do her makeup back around Choirgirl.

[@eleanor4759]

@@chouchoue no doubt, but Tori music and fashion show are not 2 things I'd immediately put together 😆

[@chouchoue]

@@eleanor4759 Have u never heard "Ode to My Clothes"?

[@pierredecine4386]

quite bizarre, but Tori sounds lovely (voice & piano)

[@BirthDayPencil]

I have been waiting for this for so long. I even sent some emails back in the day to the webmaster on Viktor and Rolf's site because the video in their archive was incomplete. This is such a great surprise. Absolutely Beautiful.

[@llliquidDiamonds]

couldn't agree with you more. the pleasure is mine, i totally love this performance.

[@TruthRadiator]

I recommend hearty meals and a lot of sunlight for at least two months and then the models should be able to recover.

[@robinmosesnailart]

i love this channel so much. i hope you never leave.....i am addicted. beautiful and thank you so much.

[@amierennie9660]

I LOVE this woman, and her Bose!!!!

[@justmissjamey]

OH WOW this is REALLY cool!!! these models really got a treat to be able to be a part of this!! this is so different and catching...I cant keep my eyes off Tori though..she is just magical

[@barfs3147]

you're right. in theory. in reality though I bet they didnt even care about her and now they probably dont even recall this performance/event/day. drugs are bad mmmkay

[@justmissjamey]

its 2014 now, and I think those clothes look pretty cool, now I must admit walking around with a pillow in my hair might be a tad bit out there...but stranger things have happened :) what a treat!!!! THANK YOU for sharing this!!

[@brandotatr2000]

I love how I see you pop up on thread a lot. your as a big of a fan as me

[@justmissjamey]

GGGRRRR my laptop died about 3 minutes before the end!! I was so caught up in Tori and her performance here that I didn't even think when it made the little ding noise that my battery was going dead and the little screen popped up in the corner lmao pfffffttt this is one of the best performances I have seen, and believe me its HARD to pick just one, but this BLOWS ME AWAY!!!!

[@datura1983]

p.s. to the people bitching about it because they are afraid of looking (uncool) lol... the models were an awesome addition.

[@jaykellett6132]

True, but some of them put their finger in an electric socket before they strutted out for the show.

[@GuysCallMeShawna]

Who wore it better: Tori Amos or Myrtle Snow?

[@LizaLavolta]

GuysCallMeShawna lol!

[@GuysCallMeShawna]

***** Quit being such a fanboy. I love Tori and even named my daughter "Tori." Myrtle Snow is fabulous. Tori has a sense of humor about herself. Take a chill pill, money grip.

[@GuysCallMeShawna]

***** Get over yourself. #idolatry

[@thewanderingmenstrual9127]

GuysCallMeShawna I think we all know the answer to that one. :) I have only heard the version of this off the Piano Collection. I'm digging slight change in lyrics.

[@nathantreolo8952]

Love me some tori amos but this made me laugh some of those models! What's with the big pillows? Did people actually go and wear that stuff after seeing this show? "Oh i gotta buy and wear that." Guess they have a convenient way of taking a nap after the show! Lol!

[@deesclemmett1638]

It's not about high street fashion it's art!

[@thanospatras5345]

Well, coincidentally (or not so much) they fit with the whole "I sleep but my heart wakes me up" line, kind of.

[@WidowmakerB28]

Oh my God! I've been dying to see the true FULL performance for years! Thank you so much!!! Perfection!

[@janotosinnumeros]

omfg! I'd never seen the full performance, I'd only seen the shortened version with the interviews of the models and the designers. this was such an awesome performance!! Thanks for uploading!

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

I adore Tori with my soul but it took many years for me to finally watch through this, because I really despise this fashion show crap... Wish it was a DVD, and I could choose the Tori camera ONLY. You're God, woman! =´)

Absolutly Brilliant: a fashion show within a concert : how novel: how brilliant! Way to go Tori.!

I'll call her the goddess of music, if I wish. I really don't care if you get it or not. Police Me! Police Yourself!!!!

[@OrchestralOrg]

*she is no goddess you blind man. She's a snake and a satanic harlot. She worships lucifer, and she knows she's evil. She's going in the lake of fire. RIGHT WHERE SHE DESERVES TO BE.*

Though I couldn't care one whit about the zombies circling the Bösendorfer, Tori has still got it. Bloody amazing!^_^

[@datura1983]

did it ever occur to you obsessive psychos that maybe she just wants to be called tori? not goddess/almighty i mean seriously. how annoying. why not say something like she looked beautiful and had an ethereal sound. anything but nonstop putting her on a pedestal that she herself tries hard not to be seen as. shes just a person.

[@adiemissworld]

She's not just a person. She wrote her first song at 4 years old. She's a genius.

[@laurengriffin5713]

Can you play one song for approximately 20 minutes? Tori: Absolutely! Also, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PILLOWS. The first girl that came out made me lmao for quite a while lol.

[@InfiniteSpiral112358]

well, fashion is fashion and is definitely in the eye of the beholder. i personally agree but i dont really presume to much about "fashion"... i do agree she looks and radiates absolute gorgeousness.

[@clovrmay]

Perfect, everything about this video is perfect. Thank you soooo much for this video

[@1schwererziehbar1]

This is wonderful! I love Tori's music the most when she plays without supporting musicians.

[@datura1983]

lol now you try to lessen it with (goddess of music) when first you called her goddess. you are obsessed with someone you will never meet and if you called her that in person she would probably have a security guard remove you rotfl!!!

[@adiemissworld]

She is Queen Tori Amos, though, address her as such.

[@destroyermaker]

Y kant tori read throwback with that hair

[@justmissjamey]

and NOT trying to spam comments here (sorry) but I just realized that 8 well, I shouldn't consider them people gave this a thumbs down?!?!?! wtf are these beings blind, deaf, and dumb?? I mean even if you don't care for her music (which I cant believe,but have met lots of guys who claim they don't smh) but the tone, and quality and pitch of this is just...just..just... hell magical..it gives me goose bumps how in harmony her voice and the sound and tone of the piano is here, its AMAZING!! WHO ARE THESE THUMBS DOWN PEOPLE?!?!?

[@666chinchilla]

let them choose, i agree with u but as we all know there is the hunter and the hunted,life would not be life without it.don't get me wrong tori makes me a babbling brook when i see her live.but if she was 4 everyone would it still be as special.got my tickets 4 this year in my bedside table.

[@brandotatr2000]

what makes her even better is that she got to the top on her own. she wasn't supported by anyone but her fans. all reviews were crap and making fun of her. so you are right she is magical because she still writes music and is working on a musical.

[@Mark-ro5zg]

WTF! Who is the designer of the first model in this video? That is the most ridiculous outfit I have ever seen. Who would actually wear something so hideous? Now as I watch other models its a theme with this designer. I guess I know nothing about fashion! LOL!

[@adiemissworld]

This is amazing. Who is the designer? He made a great choice in Tori. She sounds wonderful.

[@jeeither]

These people were so blessed to be here, I wonder how many of them realized it.

[@leahjones9626]

I think it’s amazing to see these unique projects. Artists being creative and collaborating- Tori is a story teller. Designer is also creating characters. Wonderful to see these art forms combined. So many ppl complaining about the fashion portion while Tori performs. Didn’t realize so many Tori fans are highly pretentious!! I adore Tori’s work.. she was very influential and helped me in a spiritual way..as a conduit for myself. So I truly do have deep respect for her contributions. BUT I’m surprised to see people that love Tori’s creativity… try and shit on another artists expression, such as models and fashion. As if that’s a lesser art form and stupid. Again. Pretentious! Being creative is all about experimenting, collaborating, AND ALSO NOT TAKING EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY. LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN AND EXPLORE. It’s rather enjoyable. ❤
