Tori Amos - Strong Black Vine (Philadelphia) 2009

[melindalu]

This is just an AMAZING performance of an incredible song. I have loved Tori since 1992 and I will continue to embrace whatever she chooses to do and be with her in whatever moment she chooses to be in. The US leg of NoH tour starts tonight, and I get to see her in 2 weeks! YAY!

[ruteparedes]

I've just realised I've watched about 14 times and never ONCE thanked you. Shame on me. You cannot imagine what a boost of pure undiluted bad-ass this has been for me in sh*t days. I owe you and Lady Tori. thank you, it's very kind of you to share and the vid is fantastic.

[joshejosh]

@ruteparedes That is very kind. You are most welcome! I'm glad you love it. :)

[wheremysparkis]

best improv i have ever experienced

[killbridekill]

I was there!!! like, eighth row!!!! omfffgggggggggggg *faints*

[amuse4god]

This performance is fuckin amazing!!!! Who is the same after 20 Fucking years?!! You so-called 'Toriphiles' exasperate me with that nonsense!! I put it in quotes cuz you guys still call urselves that, but ur not for the person she is today. She is STILL Tori, but ur no longer Toriphiles! Ur still harping on that 20-something-year-old rape victim. How many times have you idiots grown, thus changing what's left of ur minds?! Why can't she?! Leave her the fuck alone!!I love me some Tori Amos!

[gypsyrox]

@amuse4god AMEN!! I am a Toriphile, but I'm ashamed of most of my fellow EWF's. It's like they still want her to be miserable after 20 years. I find that deplorable.

[killbridekill]

@gypsyrox agreed

[amuse4god]

Fuckin Amazing!!!!

[liquiddiamonds33]

[Sherri2008]

Fucking amazing. Go Tori!!!!

[barbrawalters1]

ok that was amazing!!!!

[snowycherry]

I was lucky enough to be in the front row for this show. I almost died from the awesome. Although I must say my favorite version of this song was in Red Bank, NJ. I'm really hoping we get official recordings of some of these shows eventually, it was a great tour.

[sickofwaitingtables]

Poor Tori :( Her wig was in her face the whole time. Damn that thing must get itchy and uncomfortable.

[Sherri2008]

@sickofwaitingtables

Don't worry about Tori--she's a survivalist!

[inexcelsis17]

you guys in phili must've really made her feel at home; she looks SO happy playing at this show!

[FeverRai]

This song is very political.

[beenelosthesunset]

She wore this same vagina dress (as we call it) for our Atlanta show last year.

[annaewf]

I LOVE this woman!!!

[neptunecello]

haha, Tori, your outfit! Holy moly! You are awesome!

[antuonchris]

What the hell is she wearing? Jeeze, I love you Tori, but you certainly did have a awkward phases as far as my opinion goes.

[TheJisas]

This song is so sexy!!Love Tori,she is like an angel!!!One off the best female singers in the world.......together with Kate Bush and the dutch Anneke van Giersbergen[Agua the Annique]Check her out!!!

[amuse4god]

god i wish i were there to have that evil pushed from me

[vespergbi]

holy hell

[Irideika]

Man I hated her clothes for that tour...

[fmbeckham5]

possibly the BEST Tori Amos moment I have ever seen on this site! That improv she did is now my daily mantra. "Judge me cause you can't be me..."

[april0379]

She is CRAZY!!! :)))

[MadLadybug]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[sirex02]

Wow....that was the musical equivalent of an orgasm

[musikjunky89]

@sirex02 yes yes yes!!!

[kundalinisw]

people bitch about her sucking and not being the same but that improv at the end and even the song are what I'd consider "old tori", so.

[matrixandraia]

@kundalinisw She sang SBV like this in Chicago in 2009, and it was orgasmic in its intensity.

Also, I've been a fan since 1996, and I think that Tori's music keeps on getting better. Screw the haters.

[gatoreloaded]

Con dos teclados! coño!

Buena performance!

[Taftare]

the end was... wild!!!!!!!!!!

and you notice that even in the begining of the song she is conected with the energy of her body? the impro and the hair is the best!

[runinsmth]

thanks so much for posting. I was one of those lucky duckies up front. Super amazing to relive! :) Push that evil

[maiatori]

omg I've got goosebumps

she is AMAZING

thank you very much for the video!

[biggabob]

Sorry for posting twice, but the end was amazing!

Go Tori :D

[biggabob]

She is a wild lady! Amazing performance :)

[wbarreguy]

So absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[squanderlust]

Holy crap, that was an INCREDIBLE improv at the end - so glad I was able to see it firsthand! Thanks so much for capturing that moment!
