Tori Amos Baby One More Time Oakland 7 13 9

[iriswigle]

Most in the audience were fellow musicians, actors and people belonging to the Acting Guild, Directing Guild, disfellowshiping guild, etc. When Tori came into sing it was usually a rush and despite the songs and intensity she was quite depressed. The visit to the piano was usually after a visit to the morgue. The audience were aware of the forty year mood swings, the need for soft lavender/blue/green lites. The quietness would have been so awful. Maybe this is why people sing

I love this! The way she plays the song it's actually a very beautiful...

But can anybody tell me what she is saying in the beginning? I can't really figure it out...

[getbonus]

haha what the fuck, this is too good.

[kingpin1938]

Is it not possible for the fans to let her play without constantly hooting and obscuring her voice? I mean, once or twice to interrupt a slow song showcasing someones voice is one thing, but through the whole song? Is it just me, or does anyone else find that incredibly annoying? I just saw the Boss recently and you could hear a pin drop through all of Downbound Train and several other ballads.

@kingpin1938

I couldn't agree more. The caliber of her talent alone is reason enough for these assholes to STFU, but the general lack of respect for her is lost on them. She's called her fans "classy" people in the past, but this was clearly a different crowd.

[kittenmow]

@kingpin1938 I agree TOTALLY!!! That is one thing that drives me crazy about Tori fans. I am a huge Tori fan....but I like to sit and listen. I want to HEAR IT not MYSELF.

[SheWalksUponTheCoast]

Tori is a fairy! It's magical!

[rockonjill]

You know, when i saw this in Oakland, I realized, Tori Amos could turn any really terrible song into something totally amazing.

Thanks for posting this

[deathtouch100]

well said ffincz, and I completely agree. Tori is a fucking goddess, and can't perform any song and put her unique styling to it and make it sound perfect.Her voice is just fucking haunting. I will always love Tori.

[MattRichards711]

I LOVE HER FOR PLAYING THIS! Lol, this is so surprising.

[TopCollection5000]

I was there! Fantastic performance! Thank you for posting!

[Brandon73089]

Why is she the greatest perosn of the face of the earth?

[SkeletonEngel]

This gave me goosebumps. Tori is a goddess.

[justifymylove]

Genius... when is Tori going to release a covers album with songs like these???!!!!

[AngieReneeP]

Thank You for posting this! I LOVE Tori!

[Irideika]

Wow... A cover in true Tori fashion. Sublime.

[ffincz]

I have no words, it's so funny and weird and beatiful. She only sang Britney's song but she did it perfectly. I love her covers beacuse they're not like copies, they're more like "translations" to the language of her and Bö.

Thank you for posting - great audio!

[ZeroPointLibra]

She followed this with Maybe California giving it a completely different meaning...

[VetTech08191]

Wow, I love Britney and Tori and finally I can have my cake and eat it too.

[stingoo]

[jenschka]

[1gemini]

[RuthBarbra]

[driggs18]

[AutomaticTLC]

What artist does someone shout and then Tori says "Fuck no, they have to have hair." ?

[lilsidhe]

Joni Mitchell

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

The person shouted 'Joni Mitchell' lol.

[striderivan]

[crystallinesanctuary]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[waitressboy]

I need the mp3 file of this version. EVERYBODY NEEDS the mp3 file of this! This is a must!

[passwordnotgood]

omg... fucking fantasico

[hotfukka]

Screams, like a girl!:)

[kylegreerrocks]

brilliant! robert you always come through :)

[sasukeuchiha2007]

This is one of the best covers I've heard of this song, 2nd only to the Travis' version. I hope Tori includes the .DAT track/rendition as a B-Side to some future single.

[oneimaginarygirl5]

this is amazingly stunning!!

[sasukeuchiha2007]

Loves it.

[atipacti]

Incredibel version!!!

[GirlsThatWearBlue]

it strikes me more like domestic violence

[marionhammer]

Me too... "you always do"... ha ha ha... love the causticity of this so nonchalantly thrown in at the end of this putative love song... and it flows so perfectly with the topos of power pivotal to her latest release... love her eloquence, fervour and humour... and WOW is she 'on' vocally this time around :-o Thanks so much for all the tapings and sharings, Robert !

[ambigo]

I love that this came right before Maybe California. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for posting it. =)

[myporchlight]

oh man. haha. this is great.

[luiscueto]

YESSSSSSS!!!! I've been looking all over for this since last night!!!

Thanks!!

[leaveterra]

It was great getting to see her do this cover last night I don't think anyone was expecting it.

Thanks for posting!

[pelefirespark]

YES!!!!!!

[rybigbee01]

Wow.

[amywaz]

Actually wasn't that bad!

[SillyDreamer24]

I was not expecting it to be so good...her version is so haunting. I love it!
