Persistance will pay off

If you're a Tori fan download this album. If it doesn't work, delete it and download it again. I'm working on my third time through and it seems like all the songs have finally arrived safely into iTunes. This album is worth the extra work!

If you are new to the Tori scene...

...this is a good place to start. Awesome tracks of some of her most powerful pieces and in the element in which she truly shines: in front of her fans. I highly recommend this album.

the lame version

sweetness-and-noise

unfortunately, this version of the album is the incomplete US version. they removed three of the tracks from the '92 show that are on the DVD and the 2-disc UK version. you can only get them as an album-only "exclusive" on another site, or by buying the pricey import set. record companies suck.

defective tracks

DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST OF THE TRACKS ARE DEFECTIVE AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD COMPLETELY. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO EMUSIC AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE STILL NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE YOUR TRACKS SO YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DOWNLOADS.

Maybe her best...

ColtraneWasGod

I've blown hot and cold with Ms. Amos over the years, but this might be her best release, ever. The songs are stripped bare and her voice is in incredible form, not always the case in her live performances. Great selection from her early repertoire. This belongs in every collection.

The audience that turned up for a Moody Blues concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland on July 3, 1991, clearly didn’t know what it was in for when it encountered the opening act, a totally unknown 27-year-old American singer/pianist named Tori Amos. Just as clearly, however, that audience was taken with Amos immediately. In that time and place, her similarity to Kate Bush would have been more apparent than it was, for instance, to Americans later. But Bush was never so provocative; she didn’t sing about menstruation and orgasms the way Amos did, in intense performances that the rest of the music world would become familiar with starting about six months later when her debut solo album, Little Earthquakes began to get attention. The Moody Blues fans responded, listening carefully and applauding, even forgiving her for going up on the lyrics to “Happy Phantom,” and after nine songs (seven that would appear on Little Earthquakes, plus the a cappella “Song for Eric” and “Upside Down,” which later emerged as B-sides), they even brought her back for an encore, which turned out to be Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You.” Just over a year later, on July 7, 1992, she returned to Montreux as a headliner, having charted all over the world, and sang many of the same songs, adding an even more provocative one she hadn’t risked the first time, “Me and a Gun,” as well as a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Thank You” again, done as a medley with “Whole Lotta Love.” (Notwithstanding her new status, she had to scold talkers during “Little Earthquakes,” which hadn’t been necessary the year before.) Finally available 16-17 years later, this album (also issued as a DVD with three extra songs from 1992) chronicles her breakthrough. – William Ruhlmann
