Tori Amos - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-2-2003

Here's an episode of the great "PBS Soundstage" TV show, starring Tori Amos.

Amos had most of her commercial success in the 1990s and early 2000s. All five of her 1990s albums reached Platinum status (sales of a million or more) is the U.S. Her last Gold status album (sales of half a million or more) was in 2002, with "Scarlet's Walk," the album she was touring to support at the time of this concert. Also, if you look at the crowd-sourced ratings of her albums at rateyourmusic.com, her albums through "Scarlet's Walk" are her most highly rated ones. So this was a good time for a Soundstage episode from her.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 59 minutes long.

Tori Amos - VH-1 Storytellers, Metropolis Studios, New York City, 10-24-1998

Who'da thunk it, but here's another "VH-1 Storytellers" episode. The featured artist this time is Tori Amos.

At the time of this concert, Amos had released her studio album "From the Choirgirl Hotel." The timing of the concert happens to be pretty good, because her first four albums, through that one, are her biggest sellers and got the most critical acclaim.

As usual for this show, the sound is excellent even though everything here is officially unreleased. Also as usual, the first song, "Winter," started midway through in the TV show. But I managed to find a soundboard version from the same year, so I used that to fill in the missing part. That's why that song has "[Edit]" in the title. 

Another song, "Hey Jupiter," was also edited enough to get that added to its title, but for a very different reason. In that case, there were a bunch of mysterious clicking sounds in the middle of the song. I managed to edit most of them out, though I may have missed a few. I also caught some in the next song or two as well, though probably again I missed a few.

 This album is 50 minutes long.

Tori Amos - BBC in Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-27-1998

I have to admit that prior to putting this album, I wasn't very familiar with the music of singer-songwriter Tori Amos. But I knew of a few songs, such as "Cornflake Girl" and "God," and really liked them. So when I saw she did a concert for the BBC, I thought she'd worthy of being included in my big BBC project.

It turns out she's actually played the annual Glastonbury Festival twice, in 1998 and 2005. I couldn't find any trace of the 2005 concert. An excellent recording of the 1998 one exists though. Apparently that is due to Jools Holland devoting an entire episode of his BBC TV show to her Glastonbury performance. That has a downside though, because virtually no banter between songs was included, and only some of the applause after the songs made it. So I did my best, using what little applause there was, to pad out some more cheering.

Other than that, though, it sounds excellent. And the timing of the concert is excellent as well, since this concert took place after the release of her fourth album, "From the Choirgirl Hotel." Her first four albums are her most critically acclaimed, and also her best selling. Yet there's no official live album from this time period.

This album is 46 minutes long.
