A chance to go back in time November 7, 2008
This double CD provides us with the wonderful chance to go back in time and hear 2 quite different concerts by Amos. CD1, from 1991, captures Tori just before the release of her debut album LITTLE EARTHQUAKES (I am discounting her true first release, Y KANT TORI READ, as this flopped). Here, you hear that there is a vulnerability to Tori - she comments upon not being used to playing in front of so many people, and during the song "Happy Phantom", she forgets one word. Rather than doing what she would now do - just replace it for another, meaning no-one would be any the wiser - she stops, and admits to the crowd that she has forgotten her lyric.
CD2 is from 1992, just after the release of LITTLE EARTHQUAKES, the album which got her the appreciation sh deserves. Here, you can hear that there is a difference despite only a year passing. She sounds more sure of herself. She also merges two songs together effortlessly ("Whole Lotta Love" and "Thank You"), which hints towards how she would develop as a live performer.
I love this album. Instead of Tori now, with her band behind her, you get just her and her piano. In my mind, this is often the very best way to experience her and her music. I also love that, despite being a huge fan for a few years, I still learnt something about her and her music; she explains that she played the song "Leather" for someone in the music business once, and he told her not to play it again or she would have no career. Quietly, but bravely, she thens says to the audience, "So I'm playing it".
For any fan of Tori, this CD is a must.
