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.

Such a weird practice for them to start the show in the middle of a song. not sure what they were thinking..
ReplyDeleteYeah, very weird. In some later episodes, it got worse: they had voiceovers over most of the songs! Usually during any instrumental solos.
DeleteThank you, Paul! This post came right in the middle of an attempt to 'clean up' this show (Audacity) after I had ripped it from a 'high quality' video of Storytellers. Now, It would be logical to assume that I ditched my copy and downloaded yours immediately, and yes, that is correct. Of course it is! I should probably ask if I could put you on retainer! I already have your download of Tori at the BBC/Glastonbury Festival -- how about a few more? maybe her Las Vegas PPV? or her Berlin show the day after Kurt Cobain's death ("the day - the music - died / and they were singing...")?
ReplyDeleteI actually have another Tori Amos project in the works - a collection of her cover songs, similar to what I've done for some others, like Brandi Carlile.

DeleteFantastic! I'm sure you know, but you're probably opening "Pandora's Aquarium!" Covers have figured in her setlists from the beginning: from Zeppelin & Nirvana (1991) to Neil Young (2003) to Radiohead (2014) to Kendrick Lamar (2023). And a very high percentage of them are not only excellent, they diverge greatly from the originals in unexpected ways. But, you probably already knew that, too!
DeleteOne thing I have in mind is just a collection of all the covers she did on her 2005 tour, cos she did a lot. I would include both the officially released ones and the better sounding bootleg ones.
