That's such a great pic! I actually got to see her quite a bit this tour...12 shows total and a radio show as well! It was simply magical. I also love the new holiday record....it's MAGIC!
I thought Not Dying Today was really fun live in Red Bank, it made me love the song better. And I really miss hearing Strong Black Vine every night! |

And I am jealous of your M&G photo, theWILDheart! And Cornflake Girl's photo in another thread. I've been going to see Miss T since I was about 15 and M&G's NEVER work out for me. This year, we waited in the rain in Detroit, but no joy. I hope she got my present, at least - I handed it to Mindy.

The appeal of Tori Amos seems to me a soggy sort of preciousness.

I certainly think that Tori appeals more to women than men. Personally I don't get her and never have, but each to their own I guess...
Actually I'd be interested to see if the Tori fans like Martha Wainwright? Last edited by chriskisn; 10-29-2009 at 08:27 AM.. |

Well, I saw 12 shows total...so it's hard to pick a fave. Durham, NC was AMAZING! Before the show that night a friend asked me which song I would want to hear if I had to pick just one...and I said "Glory of the 80s"...and she played it that night! (Only the second time at that point on the tour). And the rest of the set was just amazing. Red Bank, NJ was also amazing, the set was much like the NC show...plus she played my request! (Taxi Ride). And then again...Boston was pretty epic, just because Santa came out! It was incredible! Ah, I miss tour. |

I like Martha Wainwright. Far Away is one of my all-time favourite songs.

I can only speak for myself as to why Tori is appealing. Personally, I find her music very relatable (I won't bore anyone with examples), I like her obscure references to film-stars, pop culture, literature etc. I think it makes her music more individual and interesting, and there's a lot of wit in her writing which appeals to my sense of humour. I love the production on most of her music (except The Beekeeper, not that I think it's an entirely bad album, it has its charms). She also puts on an incredible live show, fantastic energy; even songs I wasn't particularly fond of on her albums, I have come to love once seeing her perform them live.
The bulk of Tori's demographic is definately female. It might have a lot to do with the themes she writes about, I'm not entirely sure. I do like Martha Wainwright a lot.

I loved the arrangement they did for Talula - I hadn't yet heard her do that one live at a show I'd been at, and I thought the arrangement was really interesting. I think one of the best things about Miss T is that she is able to take these songs and do them over and over again, but have them be so different each time. Like the songs really are alive "girls," they get in different moods, and sometimes have something different to say. Quote:
Also agreed, re: lyrics. Some of Tori's lyrics are so downright bizarre that you can't help but love them even if you have no idea what she's on about, but there are many lines that I find utterly, unspeakably profound and beautiful. I think she has a unique knack for cramming pages of ideas into one or two lines. The ideas I'm hearing may not be the ones she had in mind when she wrote them, of course, but that's okay. I don't think she'd mind. My next tattoo will be a Cooling tattoo.

I have made my own version of TBK: Original Sinsuality Parasol Cars And Guitar's Sweet The Sting Barons of Suburbia Sleeps With Butterflies Jamaica Inn Martha's Foolish Ginger Garlands Mary's Of The Sea The Beekeeper General Joy Mother Revolution The Power Of Orange Knickers Toast One of the things that really annoys me is the cover art. It's dreadful. So I made my own using the pic from the tourbook (the tourbook art was STUNNING!!) Last edited by TheWILDheart; 10-30-2009 at 08:36 AM.. |

And agreed re: the cover art. I like yours much better. I suppose we can't always get something as stunning as the Choirgirl album artwork but still. Also, I thought it was interesting you mentioned Venus instead of Earthquakes or Pink in your best friends list - I've noticed most people don't mention Venus as a favorite, unless they specifically mention that it's the live part (I'd be one of those folks, too, love the live disc, mostly neutral on the studio portion). Is it the studio or the live part, or both, for you?
