    Lyrics :
    So I want to kill this waitress
    She's worked here a year longer than 1
    If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
    But I believe in peace
    I believe in peace Bitch
    I believe in peace
    I believe in peace
    But I believe in peace
    I believe in peace Bitch
    I believe in peace
    I want to kill this waitress
    I cna't believe this violence in mind
    And is her power all in her club sandwich
    But I believe in peace
    I believe in peace Bitch
    I believe in peace
    I believe in peace
    But I believe in peace
    I believe in peace Bitch
    I believe in peace
    I want to kill this killing wish
    They're too many stars and not enough sky
    Boys all think she's living kindness
    Ask a fellow waitress
    Ask a fellow waitress

    The way she amped this song up during this era is by far the best that she ever did with this song.

      Sean Curran I would go as far as to say it's one of the best live renditions she has ever graced us with. (Not just this performance but this particular tour year) I will admit I have a soft spot for the waitress from Portland September 12th. I was only a few weeks old but I know I would have been there cheering her on

    It's Interesting how the background musicians had to not only know the song, but know how to ADD to the song, AND know how to improvise alongside Tori comfortably enough to perform live where she changes songs on the fly.
    Every single one of them are at the peak of musical genius, or at least at the peak of my understanding of musical genius.

      It's real, and you can tell she feels the music, that's what i like. *edit* besides what other pianist/vocalist do we have to compare her to in this genre? She is her very own.

    That. Is. Stunning. Just when you think they can't possibly go on any longer....I could go back and watch and listen to this over and over again and keep finding deeper levels, new things to pay attention to. This particular time.....? That bass player. Mercy. How has Tori Amos been able to put that kind of energy into her work for decades and still be at it? Just amazing.

    It's a rare stroke of genius how they refined and extended the album version and made a whole new, deep, orgiastic goodbye-dear-world song of it. The only comparables which come to mind are Sugar (is there an album version at all?) and Bells for Her, which comparably became a much better song in the stage variant. Wish I'd been around in the US in the late nineties and could have witnessed her take off like that.

  • @sanderslongdrive
    @sanderslongdrive 10 місяців тому +5

    Tori is a legend, leastways amongst music officionados. I personally speak of her in the same breath as Kate Bush, Sandy Denny, and yes - Eva Cassidy. Voices must never be rated against each other as they stand alone, unique and proud and each worthy via the scores of elements which in unison comprise a 'voice.' Tori particularly impresses me with her possessed passion. She and her song becomes one. It no longer lies on the page as a song, but both metamorphise into something at times purely magical, even holy. Tori inspires up and coming artists such as German performer Carla Fuchs. Listening / watching Carla perform Tori's 'Winter' warms me insofar as great music is shared, interpreted, and re-interpreted with a good heart between fellow artists completely free of selfishness or jealousy, everyone learning and being inspired by each other. Music is a gift from God and the artists merely deliver, adding their own kiss.
