Tori Amos - Juárez

[DAGROOVE1000]

ummm YAH!



[SquishedButterfly]

couldn't really hear it because of the extreme reverberation.

[Noromongrel]

The song was inspired by many rapes, tortures and murders of girls and women in the city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

@Noromongrel thanks, debbie downer

[BoonePeople]

No angel came,

[TheBells4her]

tears it brings me tears.

[Doylefromhell]

Her intensity is palpable, that she gave still through such a horrible time in her life, we must be eternally grateful! Love you TORI! You really are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imabimbo66]

I was up front that night. Hard to believe it's just about a decade ago already! Very moving to see it again.

[CCarmen]

TO experience this live must be such a transcending blessing. I'm in tears.

[toribjork10]

i love this versionn of juarez, i must have like 4 different mp3's of it. never gets old. tori used to have so much power in her live shows. ah, the good old days.

[CelticRaE19]

oh :( she looks like shes crying. this was right after her THIRD miscarrage buy this time she was so emotionaly drained i don't know how she kept going. this performance was intense! i definitely got goose bumps at the end.

[kurt658]

wow. that ending!

[Arieleopardess]

Wow, seen her seven times, but never this version. Especially the last minute or so was incredible.

[GDGspire]

jesus. she looks so sad. I'm glad she finally became a mom. she's amazing. <3

[inexcelsis17]

@GDGspire Might be because she's singing about the rape, mutilation and murder of hundreds of girls. : (

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

In 96 she punded on the piano surface and I LOVED it! And no she is pounding on the piano strings and gets that wierd sound. I LOVE THAT MORE!

This was intense!

[longhornwtf]

is there a video of the 1996 version? i can't find it.

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

No. Not of Juarez. I meant in general. Like Caught a Lite Sneeze. But a 1996 version would rule!

[holdtheline]

just fantastic!!

[tevian3]

another great one from Tori!

[davidvonbarany]

The 2001 Strange Little Tour was a completely solo tour, wasn't it?

[ishchi]

yes it was. Superb!!! I still can't decide do i want to see her solo more or with a band??? How about both, and more of each:)))))

[ishchi]

yes it was. Superb!!! I still can't decide do i want to see her solo more or with a band??? How about both, and more of each:)))))

[davidvonbarany]

There should be solo tour, because she is making a musical, and then she will be making a record, and such a long time without concerts... and she MUST come to Vienna, or even to Budapest and MUST visit Mexico, Russia, Japan...

[Aurinushhh]

I love you, nothingbutmeat. THANK YOU

[klotylda]

thank you for this.

[dudecosta]

brilliant

[optimusbjork]

Sweet Jesus, that was amazing. Thank you!

[mostlydry]

Spectacular. I'm wondering if she's even considering it for the ADP tour. I really doubt it, thought :(

[tenderbloodrose]

I hope so!!!

[thereflex101]

SHE DID!!! she sang it in manchester on July 5th, as Clyde!!! (dream come true)it was absolutely wicked, and back then i didnt even like this song HALF as much as i do now...

xxxxx

[pelefirespark]

Awesome. this was the first song I ever saw her do live and it was fucking amazing (Austin 2001...get the bootleg, it's one of the best)

[wyguy3]

WOW...LOVE

[ourlovegotlost]

amazing. Thank you!!!

[tapsyouontheshoulder]

I love her self drums! When she performs solo it is so much fun and the sounds, reverberations are so powerful!!!

[JamesJupiter]

Amazing.

[ReallyDeepThoughts]

OMG!! Love the solo versions of this!! Are they any other vids from the solo '99 shows available?

[nothingbutmeat]

Well, I have this entire show. I can upload something more from if you want.

[ReallyDeepThoughts]

OMG amaaaazing!! If I like them, could I purchase a copy from you?

[tenderbloodrose]

upload more! PLEASE!

[MuseOfSin]

Oh my god thenks ROB! were you there babe?

[nothingbutmeat]

Oh, I wish, Annabelle! No, wasn't there, would have been so cool though...

[comatoselucy]

I don't know this song well but when you hear her belt out "No angel came for my little girl" at the end...that was so amazing and sad. Thanks so much for posting!

[South1983]

This isn't from London '99.

[nothingbutmeat]

No one ever said it was. It's from the Providence show as is clearly stated in the info section to this vid. We were just saying that we prefer the London version to this one (though this is still great!).

[lipglossboost]

THANKS~!

[bethhartweblog]

Damn good, the London '99 version is still my favorite bood great to finally see the video for this. Thanks for sharing!!!

[nothingbutmeat]

True! Nothing beats London '99. It's so intense!

[robertschrader]

Well yes, that's what I meant, she dropped the key (which she didn't do in any other 1999 performances of the song, so it seems odd).

[tenderbloodrose]

YES! Ive never heard her play this live!

amazing!

[one4music658]

I wouldn't call it "wrong key"...I think she ment to do it in a lower key.

Thanks VERY much for that. Too bad the vid quality isn't a little better.

[nothingbutmeat]

It's a bit dark, I know. It's a shame but I suppose it's better than nothing. Someone told me that this is the only existing vid of the solo Juárez.

[jebbyday]

I really liked how she changed up some of the keys and modulations in Providence 99. Suede is another example of this

[robertschrader]

She's in the wrong key at the beginning of this song, but it's still a hot performance.

[Dorothy1010]

Fabulous, thank you!
