Tori Amos "Professional Widow" on harmonium Sept 24, 1996

[slivertoe]

Starfucker. Just like my Tori.

[Kendall2001]

Amazing. Can Tori still do this?

[SapphireJesse08]

@Kendall2001 No. It's a double-sided thing, because on the one hand I'm happy that Tori has reached a happy place in her life. But the tortured woman who ripped her heart out and bled to death on stage every night of the 1996 tour, she was a glimpse into the spirit that no other artist has quite captured. I wouldn't want her to be at this place in her life anymore, I wouldn't wish it on her in the first place, but maybe some good came of her pain: this horrifyingly beautiful, touching music

This is so intense, you always hope she will make it till the end! I Love it :-)

[orvar68]

she seems to be a beautiful ghost in this video. i watch it everyday. So happy to watch it with all of you !

[tenderbloodrose]

I love this. Really changes the song and I much prefer it over the dance version.

[songofbilly]

[songofbilly]

Wow,,thought ive seen it all

[ahaiku]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This version is my favorite and so hard to find. I bought this cd about 5 times. My bf hates her voice. I think he may have thrown away #5. lol

[MrRose78]

My 2nd Tori show...*woo* ;D

[librarianscales]

Collosal genius.

[guiguilerennais]

°_°

speechless

[TearInTheirHands]

This is like washing all the hurt off your body. Tori could be singing gibberish, and it would still feel like she's empathizing with you. Tori is a true artist. No doubt about it.

[silkwood658]

Holy God, that's powerful.

[nirnaethinbabylon]

This is beyond all words.

This has to be Tori's most religious performance (imo, due to the use of the harmonium), and painful as well. So much anger and rage in it.

Btw, screw the obnoxious remix.

[WoodRatGirl]

Brilliant.

I've only heard the remixed version myself.

[BoysForPele1989]

Wow, you are in for amazing experiences. you still have the album version, merry widow version(reminiscent of this one), and the Scarlet's Walk tour version to breathe new life into you. This song is so pwerful

[jeremygloffreviews]

i became interested in tori in 1999/2000 and always heard how intense some of her early shows were. this is by far the most emotional performance i've ever seen from her. if any fans can direct me to some other great emotional early clips I'm interested in seeing them. this gave me chills.

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

smells like teen spirit and juarez in providence. They are here on youtube I am pretty sure.

[jeremygloffreviews]

omg i tried to watch it but i couldn't get through it...the screaming fans were too fucking annoying. that would have been rad as hell if those people would have just shut the fuck up. what a bummer.

[0407monique]

I think "winter" from the RAINN concert is very emotional.. it gets me into tears.

Look for your self ;)

[ProfessionalWidow83]

"Precious Things" RAINN '96..I believe.

[astronumerous]

Search "Tori Amos RAINN" and you will get a wealth of super-emotional performances. That night was pure magic. I also like her "Sessions" renditions as well. Give those a try ;-)

[Jaye2071]

This is the version that's on the "Hey Jupiter" EP. Nice find!

[beeLIEvePeaceBitch]

Yet, this is different venue, etc. concerning OTRainbow. PW was requested pre-show & if you listen to that song, it's Very different from this PW. Tori joked about having a brain aneurysm before she proceeded to play PW. Mayb that's what you were thinking about & got a lil confused. Both are great, but I lean toward this PW. In fact, I need a boot of this. Thx for post

[vindalf]

OMG!

It was just incredible!

That's why I love that woman, folks.

[RandolphStJames]

That was beyond intense!

I wish I could have been at the performance. Concentrated raw!

[SpEkToRHoLiC]

it's not the same performance in the single i guess

THANKS A LOT!

[OrchidMaroon]

this is familiar, from a single I think, the one with that Over the Rainbow song?

[danicka]

^what he said.

wow.

[drizstik]

WoW! Thank you sooooooo much for posting this grand performance~! That was only the 3rd Tori show I had gone to, and I've *never* heard/found anY boots from the '96 IL. shows!!! Love it! Thanks again!

[TJ1415]

[bumbeez]
