Live at Montreux 1991 & 1992

Album Description:
These two concerts from Montreux in 1991 and 1992 catch Tori Amos right at the start of her solo career. The first, from July 1991, was filmed a few months before the release of her "Little Earthquakes" album and the second from July 1992 followed a few months after. There is a fascinating progression from one year to the next as she grows in confidence and skill as a live performer, buoyed by the critical and commercial success of the album. Naturally most of the songs are taken from "Little Earthquakes" but there are also rare songs from her various EPs released across the two years which didn't make it onto the album including her distinctive takes on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and "Thank You" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1JHDMM1U3CMGP My name is Jeremy Gloff and this is my review of Tori Amos "Live At Montreux 1991 & 1992"
Rating: - "Live Music is Better, Bumper Stickers Should be Issued."
Tori is a very cool chic.Takes a bit of getting used to but, after this there's no turning back. Especially for those of us who like Psychedelic philosophy.
Rating: - Just what she wanted
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my daughter.It arrived quickly and was exactly what she wanted.
Rating: - Amazing Tori
That is so amazing that this woman continue to be that good and that original even in 2008. Its hard to believe that this record was made in 1991-1992, another epoch, another time, another culture, and it still sounds as fresh as it sounded back then and absolutely not outdated. Bravo, Tori, bravo!
Rating: - A bittersweet document
"You gotta do something when you don't have a band" says Amos after singing "Song For Eric". On her live performance in 1991, she's better off without it.
