Tori Amos Putting The Damage On Live

[HybridFalcon]

This woman has my heart.

[TLCsMom]

This song moves me. She's so eloquent with words. She is the bandaid for wounded souls. We are not alone, we have a voice to the pain felt. Beautiful defeat, personified.

[luqueteeees]

Esto damas y caballeros se llama una autentica "CANTAUTORA"

[mjaldub]

She's GORGEOUS! <3

[Joniyay]

eternal love for Miss Amos

[clabarth]

best video version of this song, EVER! where did you get this? thank you so much for sharing...

[Sarahon06]

They all look pretty...

At least I suspect they do.

[Koolkat99]

i bet his girlfriend with the skinny legs could never document their breakup the way Tori did....F-ing love her. forever....

[astrokmb1]

jeezuz it's really hard to watch these live/taping videos. she is so intensely 'inside' the song... i feel like this is a part of the process us mere mortals aren't supposed to witness. it's incredible to watch. the more of these sorts of performances of hers that i see, the more convinced i am that she's not of our realm and we only watch from across a deep, profound chasm. there's something deeply profound about her and her passion for her music.

[tallmaui]

It's about growing older and trying to cope with trying to keep up with a younger lover who wants to move on. Angie Dickenson is from mt day....she was known for having unbeleivable lages. But, of course, that only goes so far.;

[raisingirl88]

"I'M TRYING NOT TO MOVE, IT'S JUST YOUR GHOST PASSING THROUGH"... Another breath-taking performance that I truly adore...

[sermossman]

Can anyone tell me what is this song talking about? I mean ok ,it is about love but every song of Tori has a second meaning too... ; )

[slychd]

@sermossman I think this one might have alot to do with the end of a relationship with a certain NIN singer..."ticket to your late show..." and "don't make me scratch at your door" (especially that one if certain rumours are to be believed). But, it's Tori, and only she knows :)

[sermossman]

@slychd thank you very much foryour reply!!!! I guess you are right,Tori only knows... ; )

[iskafilipina]

OH MY GOD....this woman is so wonderfully made. XOXO

[ksx7049]

Talk about destiny...some people are truly born with a purpose.

[speedy2918831]

5 people are not so pretty anymore...

[SquishedButterfly]

not just the hairs on the back of my neck.... all of them all over.

Tori does this so well live. really puts her heart and soul into it. no wonder we love her so.

[JollyMunkie]

At least she serves as a horrible warning to others. Your face, your choice. I love you the way you are. I would never ask more.

[ic0n666]

most beautiful video of her EVER....and my fav Tori song so it's perfect. :D

she has the best lips in music.

*swoon*

[paintedesertserenade]

so beautiful

[jjreis77]

I love her...youre just so pretty..Chrissy you owe me

[jjreis77]

glue stuck to my shoe

[jjreis77]

love angie dickenson



[piscesrobbie]

OMG>>>PERFECT>>>WOW!!!!!!

[neefafa]

she was born to do this

[JeffYoungTube]

WOW! out of 54,291... only 3 are blind, deaf and have no soul ; /

[JewelAngel]

pure perfection and just what I needed tonight

[Theresacarroll9]

I love my Tori:)

[modeserpent]

@Theresacarroll9 me too.

[harlekin0263]

associated words are: Longing, Desire, natural at all, totally naked...

durfte man da filmen???

[LailStark]

am I the only one who thinks it is asong so filled with saddness, regret and acceptance at the same time that you have no choice but to cry?

[frajilhart]

love this...miss her in jeans :)

[Stumper716]

So beautiful.

[solarya]

amazing!!!!!!!

[Dvdre]

An excellent video of one of my favorite songs of all time. Could any song or person be more beautiful?

[KingKillThirty3]

its hard to remember to breath while listening to this.

[rfgstl]

@KingKillThirty3 > I agree...i lose my breath whenever I hear her sing.

[a440nick]

ugh i cant even

tears

[Multiryan1982]

one of the best plays of "putting the damage on" My Gosh she is so beautiful in this vid too

[softcomfort]

Is there anyway I can obtain just the audio of this performance?

[guineapiggyman]

@softcomfort if u have a headphones or audio out jak on ur computer, and a stereo with rca in jacks (the red and white things) u can go to radio shack and get whatever wire they have with one of each on either end, then plg ur comp into ur stereo and play the video, while u record just the audio on tape or cd on the stereo.

[jesilfa]

@softcomfort google "flv to mp3". There's a website that lets you rip audio from youtube. I have this on my iPod and listen to it all the time. :)

[itsannabanana1]

Don't make me scratch on your door

I never left you for a banjo

I only just turned around

For a poodle and a corvette

These have always been my favorite lines of the song,....how brilliant

[WastedPo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tori Amos is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.

[Aquila7Winds]

THE BEST FEMALE SINGER I"VE EVER HEARD

[Karolcia1993]

So mesmerizingly amazing... this song always tears my heart out.

[strangelittlegirl27]

I miss you Tori <3333 You're the only one for me <333

[pvwj18]

one of tori's bestest performance...beautiful and haunting...she rocks!!

[Hereinmyhead102]

Hello everyone :)

[rainbowsinmind]

@Hereinmyhead102 hello and thankyou so much for my Tori. xxxxxxxxx

[sermossman]

@Hereinmyhead102  hi!!

[LiamMawford]

This is really awesome... It sounds like the original recording (minus the brass), all the inflections and whispers are exactly the same.. Wonderful :)

[TinnyLinda]

don't make me scratch on your door

i never left you for a banjo!

[livelaughandlovelong]

She's something else. I get a kick out of watching her play the piano. She's playing as if she has one foot out the door. lol

[jennyinjapan]

This song still rips my heart out, 14 years later...

[POGLUTEAR]

boy your just so pretty...when ..your putting the damage on............................­........

Im trying not to move,,, its just your ghost passing through... Beautiful Tori..

Those mics are really hard to sing into..

[Fpockets]

Tori is God !!!!

[BrooklynPhotoGal]

angie dickenson was strong and tough- that's what she meant I think

[rfgstl]

She is trying so hard to play this role...an act that keeps the emotion and "damage" done at bay, which she is slowly losing the strength to keep up. She is trying to understand why and how this other person can "still look pretty putting the damage on" when she cannot. That is what it means to me anyway.

[darklittlemisfit]

...or perhaps someone who's so pretty, even whilst hurting her....moth drawn to flame, even though it burns.

[ticklebug]

@rfgstl Thank you so much for being kind and patient enough to explain.

[jophus82]

When I get too paranoid from smoking, I put this song on and Emiliana Torrini's versions of White Rabbit and Sound of Silence.... and suddenly the world is alright.

Thank you for your tremendous work, Tori.

[klimpensonice]

What does she mean by impression of Angie Dickinson?

[tallmaui]

Angie Dickinson was known for her incredible legs back in the day.

[martianboy]

I did but I still don't get it! She played lots of different roles.

[martianboy]

Anyone know what her Angie Dickinson impression would be?

[deathtouch100]

her sexuality just oozes out even in a sad song like this, which is one of my top 3 of hers

[persona19]

I'd love to eat french vanilla ice cream out of her pussy.

[martianboy]

You filthy bastard! How dare you make comments like that on here when innocent children might be watching.

[persona19]

Don't act like you wouldn't eat the french vanilla out of her pussy.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Shut up.

[ScarletFairy]

i couldn´t like her more, she´s just so... perfect

[terrapinbrad]

She was/is amazing as always. It's like having sex, going to the museum, and eating fine chocolate all at the same time... It's somehow expressively artistic, raw and divine all wrapped up into one perfectly performed moment in time. I love SO much of Tori's music, but this one has become my current favorite in just the past few months. 'I'm trying not to move...it's just your ghost passing through' ;-} Thank you, Hereinmyhead102and of course, Tori

[OneSecondOne]

....she stole my heart with this song :)

[beenelosthesunset]

So in love with this performance. Thank you so much.

[2ears2feet]

OMG so beautiful!

I always have to cry along with this song though :-(

[JaysakaJollies]

It is very emotional :'( I love her!

[armouredamazon]

This song always pops into my head. Love it. Great lyrics.

[J2TKcapIRK]

really, she plays so shifty timing (heart), and so great music (soul), It sounds so natural, very talented (M.E.A. I love your music Tori!)

[J2TKcapIRK]

Really great song, learning it, will post if worthy to do so.

[AerowsX]

Wow, great song. Thanks for posting Hereinmyhead102

[missclareremembers]

I forgot about how beautiful this song really is...

[waybeyondthepale]

well, you've got a screen name to live up to. ^_^

[kittiekills]

don't make me scratch on your door..

i never left you for a banjo..

i only just turned around for a poodle

and a corvette..

and my impression..

of my best angie dickinson..

but now i got to worry..

cuz boy you still look pretty when you're putting the damage on..

[wereknotknomes]

oh what i would do to be tori's mic,or her bench....

[vichi420]

i've never wanted to be a microphone filter more than right now. so awesome.

soul like this is so hard to find now.

[rfgstl]

"There's a light in your platoon...I have never seen a light move like yours can do to me..." I am in tears. Thank you Tori for sharing with us.

[thermoacc]

My fave Tori song by far. This woman is a goddess sent to make all our lives a little better. Brilliant artist. Thank you.

[waybeyondthepale]

absolutely one of my faves too. she is amazing and so talented...and such a healing source. she always makes it easy to confront those emotional things that we sometimes stuff way down.

[stareleades]

i'll be honest

im an absolute humongous Tori fan

and I didnt like this song  till I heard this version

[pianist3221]

she is my motivation for life... thank you.

[RedheadsForPele]

Is there a word but divine to describe this beauty?

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

She IS a Supreme Being.

[Cathrynhill]

Simply amazing.

[neptunecello]

This is legendary.

[ENeithneYA]

Probably the most beautiful 4.50 in my life.

It's gorgeous..

[SILinchesVER]

One of my very favourites songs :)

It is just absolutely stunning, the way she performs and sings.

I really love Tori, this adorable woman! x3

[persona19]

It would be pretty rad to fuck her.

[ryanranger]

You're a moron.....seriously, not fucking joking here, you should put a plastic bag over your head and breathe deeply...

[kcgirlgeek]

If there are angels....they sound just like Tori.

[hellojeaniejeanie]

so pretty

[jamieh1974]

does anyone know if this was the recording that made it on the album? Sounds like it (obviously minus other instrumentation)

[schradeya]

It is not.

[jamieh1974]

you're right, on closer listen there are quite a few differences

[miabellagrazia]

This song is so serene and Tori is just amazing I love her.

[TinnyLinda]

wow!!

and she's wearing the ring on a different hand/finger! :)

i'm fascinated with that ring.

awesome video!

[Bellissimo2000]

Thats because tori is the lord of the rings.

[DrGroothe]

fuck me how gorgeous was that

[reelinaround]

i just wish that Tori and Maynard would've conceived a love child so that there would be hope for future generations...thats not too much is it? I mean all due respect for both parties...

[GDGspire]

no, no, Tori and Trent.

[pigsodomy]

"And of course Damage speaks for itself. The song, being herself damaged, it's trying to teach myself about graciousness, and I have such a hard time with that. I have a very hard time. Damage was so essential for me to sing, it's one of the most difficult ones for me. I can look and have love and feelings for some of these people but... "

-- Tori; B Side, 05/96

[blueofdaybreak]

Perfect.

[Smax92]

beautiful...

[sonicUnison]

you shake my soul tori...

[whydontweintheroad]

My goodness she has a magnificent voice. Not to mention how breathtaking she is...

Thanks for posting this

[mobbyplay]

we are privileged to walk the earth at the same time as her hahaha. It's a joke but this is sooo great

[arg189]

No it's not a joke

It's the truth

[mobbyplay]

Ok,ok...I WORSHIP YOU TORI.

[longhornwtf]

I love this series! Thanks.
