A friend took me to see her perform in the early 90's at a 200 seat recital hall just before Little Earthquakes came out. I was in the second row, about 10' from her, eye level, and she delivered most of LE and many of the b-sides (Sugar, etc.) that would become the soundtrack to my life. Just tore me open, I was never the same after that. Hearing these songs all for the first time - LIVE, before some of them were even recorded - was incredible, every song a complete world unto itself. And her stories between songs, of course... And the room was completely SILENT while she played, which was never true on any later tour, unfortunately. Still the greatest concert of my life. Thank you Tori. I'm so grateful to have been alive while you are!

She knows how to tell a story, and not a shallow story, but deep, difficult, emotionally evocative stories about things that most people don't want to talk about, much less hear about.

The way she plays piano is immediately recognizable by those familiar with even just a few of her songs. She plays with passion and, at times, almost possession.

Her entire oeuvre is really quite extraordinary. There is no one like her, that's for sure. She plays gorgeously and there is a soothing, almost "safe" sound to her voice? I'm not even sure what that means exactly because I've never described someone's voice as "safe". It is different than 'reassuring".

She really is an amazingly talented artist, storyteller, and musician. I suppose if I had to describe her to someone 15 years older, or 15 years younger (than me), I might say Tori Amos is the Joni Mitchell of my/our generation.

♥️ she’s one of my favourite artists.I saw her live some years ago in the Auditorium in Rome, but I would have been in the room you are talking about…It seems to me that the time you are talking about is one of the last beautiful time for music and art, but unfortunatly I was only 2 years old..As a songwiter too I can say that I would like to go back to the 90s!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience!!

It's extraordinarily hard to have a piano style instantly distinct from all other pianists on earth. It's also hard to have a voice instantly distinct from all other voices. Somehow, Tori has both. About as original and singular as musicianship gets.

Internutt 1960

If you listen closely to keyboardists, all have a "distinct" sound even when performing the same piece. I am a fan of players like Lyle Mays, Chick Corea, Keith Emerson, George Duke, you can hear a familiarity in all of their styles. I always like Tori,'s sound, and vocals, and her mastery, and also the great mic setup on her piano here, makes the performance here stunning.

I met Tory Amos in 1998 at Caines ballroom in Tulsa Oklahoma, I was able to get backstage from a friend who's dad knew the owner, I was so star stuck to be in her presence. She came over and spoke to me like I was the only person left in the world, she genuinely cared about what I had to say. I have never in my whole life felt so important.... I rode that high for years and years. I could be having a horrible day and would rememberer how I felt at that moment and my day would instantly get better. This kindness is not only rare amongst the famous but everyday people. The world is a much better place with her in it.

Tori plays "Baker Baker" here a half step lower than the recording. She's never done this on her many live releases of the song, nor does she typically change keys of things other than for medley purposes. I like the change - it's one of the best versions she has ever played. Her voice resonates differently now (after "29 years"), and some of these songs can find a new life with a slight transposition.

Lianne Hutcheson

2y↑19

It reminds me of when Joni Mitchell reinterpreted “Clouds”. Tori’s voice has probably changed over time and not playing out for the last few years seems to have left an imprint on her vocals.
But her singing and playing is still so sublime ❤️

Michael Soo

2y↑11

@Lianne HutchesonThe natural tendency of the human voice to become lower in pitch. She matches with a different key on the piano.

@Michael Soo thank you for helping me to understand the mechanics of singing. I would have never known myself as a musician… 😆

Katherine Stewart

2y↑8

@Michael Soo bit cringey, not to use critical thinking when "educating" a music educator about how human vocals work - she clearly shows she understands that in her first statement about Clouds, and the key changes to match Joni's aging voice 👌

The tenderness Tori shows the Bosendorfer and the Wurlitzer after Baker Baker and Ocean to Ocean, and then the sudden slap after the catharsis of 29 Years, like "Thanks, you got me." That hit hard. Thanks Tori and NPR for this beautiful session. After 10 years without a Tori live experience I'm looking forward to two shows in March. Like so many others, T changed my life, educated me, guided me, comforted me. "So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts, what's so amazing about really deep thoughts, boy you best pray I bleed real soon, how's that thought for you?" - everything changed after hearing that on the radio in 1991. Thank you Tori.

@Jonathan O'Neill she's used the Leslie cabinet on tour quite a bit! It's also used on Beauty Queen/Horses on Boys for Pele - she's mentioned in interviews how she got her recording team in a mad dash to find a Leslie when she was recording the song in Ireland.

And here I am, watching my teenage crush playing the piano.

Imagine, without understanding a single word, just knowing that nobody could sing like this if not feeling whatever they were saying with all their heart.

Tori Amos.
A woman who has had immeasurable influence in my little life. I was at the Under the Pink show in LA at the Pantages in the Summer of 1994. I was 16 years old. In and through the chaos of my youth, nobody was with me the way she was.

Thank you.

To hear Tori talk about trauma and the evolution of her perspective towards it in her writing is very touching. She ranks among the most influential voices in my life, mainly due to the profound and transcendental voice that I perceived in Little Earthquakes through From the Choirgirl Hotel (I'm old). Those songs always felt like a conquest to me, rather than a "victim perspective" as she describes it, but it brings renewed inspiration to hear about her personal journey through what inspires her, and to see her remain a mystical force of the human experience both then and now. Not to mention an absolute beast of a player and singer... her lyrics have been everyday mantras for me for 30 years now, and it means so much to revisit the old catalogue, and to experience the fresh perspective as well! Thank you for this immaculate performance!

All the various forms of pop or alternative or grunge rock, female artists with powerful vocals who could also play instruments. If you weren't into that, there was rap, hip-hop and R&B. Or even techno. Everything was original and creative and poetic! I was also in my teens to my early 20s. Miss the 90s!

OMG. That was amazing. 29 Years. How Beautiful. Made me cry. I haven't loved a Tori song like this in a while. I feel like she came back to something in the pandemic, something I wasn't feeling in her music for a while, funnily, I think I also felt distanced from it in myself -- that something -- and this song talks about recovering lost aspects of self. And the part about Athena and Posiedon and Medusa -- wow, that myth has so much meaning. I feel like my own healing journey is mirrorred in the trajectory of her songs, going from victim to this healing place, and in and out of them, something I also feel with LDR. Really really beautiful. I will be listening on repeat.

Quite simply, my favourite music artist of all time! Tori's way of playing the piano transcends, and whenever I listen to her, I have to literally stop what Im doing and just, listen.
It's almost like the music itself feels haunted somehow, which is what I love about it and her! Hard to explain in words to be honest but I reckon some of Tori's music comes "from the other side" and Tori is the one that captures that better than anyone else

Seen her play this evening (5th of April 2023) in Brussels.
Followed her career since her debut and none of us got younger. But it didn't matter. Time didn't matter. It's was just about music and beauty.
Her legacy is part of who I am.
Without her, I would probably have been about the same. But not quite.
Some of the feelings I got to experience thanks to her shaped my life somehow and I cherish them very much. She made me a little bit more human than I would have been otherwise.
Thanks Tori.

Chillingly brilliant from first note to last. Tori is a genius with every performance having it’s own individuality and identity - her songs just “live and breathe”. Wonderful stuff.

The whole performance is absolutely touching! The way she played the piano is full of emotions and from her within! This is what a true artist should be , less technical, more expressive within. Hands up to Tori, my muse !

I’ve seen her three times and I absolutely love her. She’s so overdramatic. She is so 90s. But I still love her and I will never tire of her. Thank you Tori

¡Me encanta Tori Amos!, la he escuchado desde 1996 cuando lanzó Boys For Pele...y desde entonces su música me ha acompañado todo el tiempo.

... as much as I adore the scintilating voice of young Tori - the voice of not so young Tori IMO has a depth and maturity that adds another layer/dimension to her artistry. Breathtakingly good 🙂

Saw Tori in Madison WI at the Barrymore decades ago now during college at UW Madison. This is a real treat!!! Thank you for the ‘at home’ concerts while we are still losing 2000-2500 people a day in the US to COVID. It is so heartening to see beautiful art in safe conditions!

Glad I'm not the only one who burst into tears as soon as she sang, "Baker, Baker..."

As expected Tori is able to tranform her songs when she performs them live and Ocean to Ocean is nothing short of spectacular. 29 year’s energy doesn’t really translate as well without the band but is still striking! Baker Baker is just as devastating as ever, and the intro is Tori at her finest. While at first listen there’s an noticeable difference in her vocal ability, it’s quickly forgotten when she goes into the new songs that accommodate her current vocal range. Looking forward to the tour. I’m just grateful that we still have her.

I can't wait to see you both nights in London 💙💛❤
Her voice and piano playing reaches places in my heart I never knew existed 💗
I'm beyond excited.
I think this might be her best album? It just doesn't leave me... I've been singing it in my head for many days 😇😍

She aged well with grace like her songs, the woman is such a legend in her own right.

I love Tori. She's my favorite artist of all time, but I have to disagree with you here. I hate the plastic surgery she had done on her face. I wish she had had decided to age gracefully.

I didn't know she had plastic surgery yet her voice is as beautiful as the day I first heard it.

@Ali E. let people be. Her image is her thing. Not all of us rely on her image or looks to enjoy the music. Who cares.

Stunned & thrilled to see Tori on Tiny Desk(Home). She was literally the soundtrack of my youth & the artist I’ve seen the most times live, though it’s been years. This is such an exciting throwback and brought back so many feelings & memories 💜

Oh dear Tori, I hope you know how great your legacy truly is! How your music was the soundtrack of so many of our lives. How your voice, words and music made us feel less alone, more understood and like we had a kindred spirit in our midst. You soothed use, emboldened us and supported us through our darkest and most confusing moments. I am so grateful for sharing this lifetime with you. X
