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.

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

@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.

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.

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...

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.
