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".
This video should have 40million + views imo...such a great live version of this amazing song.
Only special people have the ability to appreciate this masterpiece. I feel sorry for everyone else.
It absolutely should. 40 million. That's it's quality.
maybe they can grind up the lost dreams and hopes of all the less successful muscians and turn it into a slurry that they can sell to promote her videos?
I was there. It was in an amazing recital/audition hall with unimaginable acoustics.
Birch and Oak installations, where 'normal' venues might have plastic, temporary sound baffles.
one of the best songs ever written and one of the best performances ive ever seen by far. ik this type of praise gets throw around but she really is the most underrated artist of her generation. all of her immense talents r on display in this performance. shes like a beautiful witch, shes performing magic with the piano with her voice. when i finally heard this song it blew me away, i wasnt aware of her music, i knew her name, but when i heard this song i couldnt believe it. a masterpiece. and then to find this live performance... theres only a few times in my adult life that i was blown away by a live performance of a song. its a rare feeling, like when your a kid and u discover dylan or hendrix... this is my fav song, its closest thing ive seen to real magic... other live songs that blew me away for those looking for that rare feeling; here u go: Mitski Live: "I Bet on Losing Dogs" - The AEA Sessions ---- Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (Live on SNL) ---- Carole King - So Far Away (BBC In Concert, February 10, 1971) ---- Jorja Smith - Blue Lights | A COLORS SHOW ---- PJ Harvey performs The Last Living Rose Guardian Music ---- Lady Gaga perform "Perfect Illusion" in Japan 2016 ---- The Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays (The Johnny Cash Show 720p) ---- No Doubt - Don't Speak (Live @ California 1997) ---- Sarah Vaughan - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Live from Holland 1958) ---- Eva Noblezada | "Take Me To Church" ---- Sammy Davis Jr - Ol' Man River ---- Counting Crows “Round Here” on the Howard Stern Show (2008)
I lived past the age of 21 partially because of this woman’s music. It made me feel like I wanted to live one song longer. Then another. Then another. Thank you Tori. I’m an RN now and you’ve helped me live long enough to help other people live on. Sometimes one hour at a time.
❤️✊🏼
❤
I love this so much !
Thank you for expressing your experience.
You are a truly amazing person. Never forget that.
That teared me up. You rock, honey.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, performed by one of the most beautiful women ever. Absolutely stunning, moving, haunting, emotional, beautiful, mesmerizing-- and brilliant. Thank you, Tori. We all love you.
You said it all for me. Thanks.

Truly a very precise description of this immensely beautiful and enchanting song and not to mention this stunning, devine and absolutely unique woman behind it's creation!!!
Thanks!!!
one of the most incredible artists of our time
The Crush I had and Still have on this Woman...................................................
She's a gingernut 😂
Took my Daughter when she was 18 to see Tori. It was 1992 at the Carefree Theatre in West Palm Beach. This is what she heard. One of the most beautiful performances ever. Not the same venue but same concert series and same result. I’m 71 years old now and remember it like it was yesterday.
Will Elli Can’t express in words how amazing your experience was. I have tears in my ears. I regret I didn’t get to see her but I was young when she was
In her prime. Glad you did.
Nice :)
wow jealous
Things change fast ✌️❤️
Now that is my dream. I'm even 18.
I just lost my Dad 3 weeks ago. This song has always been with me but couldn't be more relevant now! 😪
Hope you are doing well.
Hope you’re doing okay, chief
♥️
She's the version of musical perfection nobody noticed enough - So much energy and talent, so beautiful. She's amazing. She's on my playlist daily - every word, movement, actual involvement - people blink and simply don't recognize.
thank goodness some of us have been blessed to understand great talent
Yes we do
I noticed.
It takes a special soul to recognize Tori's true talent. I fee sorry for everyone else.
Breaks my heart and reminds me of my loving father who lived to 83. I miss him so much.
This is how you make a room go completely silent with awe. You write and perform a song like this.
My first concert of hers I attended was in 98 in a huge stadium. She played this song and you could hear a pin drop (well besides the music). She completely mesmerized thousands
I have watched this hundreds of times over many years. It has brought me to tears more times than I'd care to admit.
This performance is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Nothing has ever come close to this for me.
Same here,keep playing,keep bawling.
@@MegaSimplysimon 😁👍
This is staggeringly good: the songwriting; the technical ability on piano; that voice.
Best, bestie....love this....soon as I heard it from 90's. Sublime. Vocals ate amazing
Yes, yes, yes!!!
"When you gonna love you as much as I do" such a beautiful lyric, spirit & soul ❤
I’m crying
Her Dad told her that!.
The piano work in this performance is otherworldly.
How about Fiona apple’s piano work? That’s otherworldly!
What has Fiona to do with this? She’s great though.
That look on her face when she sings "Never change" is hauntingly beautiful in so many ways....
I like her slightly crooked smile after when she "mmmmmmmm"
At this show, her parents were in the audience, she was singing to them, looking at them, when she was singing, "never change".
@@Wungoliothreally!! Wow❤
So many dreams on the shelf.
This is the most underrated Song in Music History. Heard it 2024 for the first time. Took my breath away when I heard it for the first time as a background in radio. Turned louder and felt in love.
It's amazing how a song can take on a different meaning, the older I get.
I'm 43 and have been a fan since my early teens. I have two amazing children and I just played this song for them while making a valentine box for school ... And I just lost it and balled.
Her lyrics and metaphors are so powerful. They continue to be an influence and inspiration for the way I think about things and view life.
Truly an artist that reaches the soul like very few can.
Beautiful comment to read. As someone who wants to have kids in the near future this makes me smile.
I am 70 for my generation it was Joni Mitchell. This lady sings from the heart. Unconditional love between a girl and her father.
Agreed.
I totally agree with you.
This was my gf’s favorite record when it came out. I think it was because she too was a redhead and had a complicated relationship with her dad. She loved this song. We used to sing “when you gonna love you as much as I do” and laugh. We’d look at each other when Tori sang “never change” and wonder what was to be.
She went missing later that summer. That fall her dad called me when they found her body to tell me she was pregnant at the time she was murdered.
I’ve listened to this song so many times, and as the decades pass I hear new things. But some days I feel like it’s never changed.
My father just died and this song helped me cry and get all the bad emotions out. Thank you
So very sorry for your loss.
Very sorry for your loss.
All the very best to you
Bad emotions? What do you mean? Grief isn’t a bad emotion. It’s a natural and healthy reaction to loss.
@@judeirwin2222 pain feels bad. there are different times to talk about language than when someone is literally going through it
The heart, the hurt, the passion, is written all over this beautiful woman's face with every word she sings. It still brings me to tears after so many years. A staggering song that wishes you could just repeatedly keep hitting the like button.
Very true words
I couldn’t agree more!
This is up there with the very best live performances of all time.
Agree. How wonderful to have been at one of these shows in that era. I never knew until 20 years later who I missed.
I can’t think of any live performance by any artist that emotes straight into the heart like this. Surreal talent like no other.
@@beowulf6774 If you thought this was as good as it gets......watch this....Tori Amos - Winter (Live At Montreux 1992)
@@beowulf6774 It is surreal. Near the end she hit a certain note with the most exquisitely heartbreaking phrasing, after so many minutes of this sublime stuff, and I burst uncontrollably into tears and it took me some time to stop. Now I'm sitting here stunned, contemplating my own reaction. Music brings me to tears fairly frequently, but never like this.
@@radikai yes. Some music you just can’t listen to at random-you need to set it aside and give it a special time and place. Surreal like dream communicating directly to your heart
A Goddess, genius, and incredibly talented woman...there wil never be another Tori
Chill, Imhotep
In my eyes and heart as well, I love Tori. At each show, I was able to escape for a few hours forgetting the pain I call my life. When I arrive at this beautiful destination, the performer has delivered me to total serenity for a fleeting moment. . . Tori always delivers. . .
@@rosscox9674 v
Amen
Tomorrow I'm going to ask my son when will he make up his mind and love himself as much as I do. I just got this Tori
Normally artists make art but just watching her is art in itself.
Never has the face of a girl singing been so beautiful.
Truly 💯
shut it
i hear her mum and dad were in the audience can you think how proud they must feel
We played this at my Dad's memorial service. Such a beautiful homage to a father
This song takes me back to being a teenager and walking my dog Harry every day. I’d have headphones on playing artists like Tori Amos and he and I were so free together. So young; we could walk effortlessly forever. I can still see him as I call him back onto his lead. Running back to me joyfully. It’s powerful to remember my lovely dog, my close friend, through this song. I love you Harry. Thank you for walking with me all those nights.
Dogs are the best.
This transcends music. It's a piece of art, and I'm so glad this moment was recorded on video.
The first time I heard this was on a cold Winter day in my car. I pulled over to listen, mesmerized, on an icy road under falling snow, living in a town I hated but couldn't leave. I didn't catch who it was on the radio. It was like the time I saw the most beautiful woman in the world on the Star Ferry crossing from Hong Kong to Kowloon, simply brush the hair out of her eyes, and I saw novels. I listened to the same station hoping to catch the song again and find out who it was. Some time later, I lay in bed late one night and the song came on the radio. I was transfixed when the phone rang. A very rare event in my tiny basement apartment. I didn't jump out of bed to answer it. I had to hear this song again, see the beauty in Hong Kong again, and learn who was singing. The phone rang and rang and then stopped. The next day my mother called me. She said, "Your grandmother died yesterday. I tried to call you."
💙
exquisitely Beautiful - i could listen to this a million times, and each time i feel its depths and wonderment
I haven't been able to listen to this song since 1995... It leaves a dad sized hole in my heart. This was the first time I have listen to it, at least since the 1990's, I deliberately skip over it on the CD. And yeah, same affect all these years later, but at least I got to hear it again.
One of the most beautiful live performances I've ever seen in my life. Speechless.
totally agree,,,makes me think of my deceased parents,,,,,and shoveling snow in the chi-town winters.....
I feel like Tori Amos fans are my people, my tribe.
and we love you!
Not me
don't forget kate bush
Lucy Diamond we so are . She’s my musical goddess
Tori will always touch my life. I think it’s time I introduce her to my 17 year old daughter.
Possibly the greatest live performance of all time. I love Tori and I have watched this 100s of times, but it still moves me. Amazing!
Wow, what a remarkable and beautiful voice Tori has. To my utter shame, this is the first time that I have listened to Tori. I am now captivated by Tori ❤
You would be hard pressed to find a modern artist that sings and plays his heart out like this nowadays.
The kids these days are always talking about things being "a whole vibe".
Tori Amos is the wholest vibe.
I am fifty and I am, most importantly, a father: my children are my heroes: my son was borne at 26 weeks and survived procedures that would have put me in the ground; my beautiful daughter came out at 12 and has endured treatment that would have put me in a mental institution. When I hear things song I feel good and full of love. Thanks
Gennaro, “born”, not borne, which means carried.
This is some of the most powerful music I have heard in my 64 years on this planet!!!
64 as well and agree. First heard this about 10 years ago and come back to it annually. Cannot get through Winter without another listen.
ANGEL VOICE, BEAUTIFUL LIKE THE SUN, WITH RED HAIR
I remember going to school at 645am. listening to WHFS and hearing Tori on a cold impactful morning...now my niece does lyrical dances to this...❤
今から30年ほど前に、僕のラジオ番組でこの曲をオンエアした。その時の同録が残っており、30年以上たった僕の誕生日に、その番組を録音したカセットテープからの音源を奇跡的に聞いた。そして感動が蘇った。こんなにキレイな曲があるだろうか。数十年ぶりの出会いに感謝している。 About 30 years ago, I aired this song on my radio program. I still have the recording from that time, and on my birthday, more than 30 years later, I miraculously heard the sound from the cassette tape I had recorded of the program. And the emotion came back to me. Is there such a beautiful song? I am grateful for this encounter after decades of absence.
I can’t think of a single song from the last 40 years more expressively beautiful than this. It’s perfect.
I can: Cooling
It took me an entire year to learn how to play this song on piano. My very first song I learned how to play.
I love everything about this song!!!!
do u record it?
There is easier to learn as the first song ... but, congrats!
I’m going to attempt it this weekend. Just slowly. My favorite song at this moment. ❤️
What a beautiful intimate performance - just breathtaking. Also, Tori must be a studio engineers dream, you can simply record her and press directly onto record - so flawless.
Listen to her song Marianne, it was recorded while it was written! More or less by chance.
Tori's facial expressions are as beautiful as her music! ❤
My good friend just passed away at 46 , this song was ours to listen too when we were young . Miss ya feathers xx
ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES EVER... THIS SONG........
Giulia Brigenti the best! Godly
Certainly the best performance captured with high quality audio/video.
Too bad it wasn’t a real piano!!! Great otherwise
Nice to be "down the line", i mean trainline-reliable
Are you guys hearing/seeing this?!?!?! I can’t think of ANYTHING THAT COMES CLOSE TO THIS LEVEL!! I’m in complete awe ❤
I met Tori backstage on the Little Earthquake Tour in 1992 at the Bottom Line in NYC. She took my hand and placed her other hand on top of mine and I remember it like it was yesterday. So spiritual. She sang Smells like teen spirit as an encore then Mother.
I was born in 1963. I think if I had a time machine and could pick any live performance to see, it would be this one. Amazing.
Hi Tori, don't know if you will remember me but I was a regular at your piano at the Marbury House's Lion's Gate Taverne, one night during your break you asked me to walk you to the 4 Seasons snack bar, that was when you told me about your upcoming plans to record music. Hated seeing you go, it took until mid 2000's till I figured out you became Tori Amos, I knew you as Ellen. You were amazing then, late 80's as you are now. Special talent.
Of course she remenbers you .
@@kenadams5504 No one remembers you
@@barrygoldkind99 ok ellen
@@barrygoldkind99 Have you got a special talent for publicising the real names of singers before they were famous. ? No wonder she wanted to forget you .
@@kenadams5504 Hey a-hole, the Washington Post did a big story on that years ago, but you were still in your Mommies Womb and had no clue.
My dad died when I was sixteen, I'm 53 now and there's not a day goes by I don't think about him.I would give everything I have to spend even one day with him and tell him the things I should have when he was alive. Miss you dad.
Absolutely crazy! Her range, the imagery, message, melody and power. Tori and Jeff Buckley just hit my absolute soul. The two of them are the most under rated and soul stirring musicians/singers. Wish they could have collaborated
She covers Hallalujah and also some Leonard Cohen (who wrote Hallelujah) Hope this makes your day!
Hold on there Baba Louie! Tori is an international star and has sold millions of records.
Jeff was lauded in the music press as the new (and better) Dylan, Springsteen, etc . . . before his short time on earth ended.
So how can you call either one of them ‘underrated?’
@@emmettmckenna4565 I think people just don't know how to use the word underrated lol
I wish they could have collaborated too! What a dream their songs would have been 🥲🥰
I grew up listening to her. Both my mother and my father are huge fans. Being young and stupid I didn't really appreciate how utterly exquisite her music is. I do now. and fortunately my Daughter who has a much better ear for music than I did at her age absolutely adores her.
I have never seen someone as beautiful as you. ☘️
My Daddy would know when I was struggling. He would walk in and turn this song on repeat. Dad, it's been 6 years. I know your energy rushes to me everytime I listen. I love me like you do now!!!
The last "Cause things are gonna change so fast" never fails to bring tears to my eyes...
Concreta,melodia.
This still rips me into pieces .........................................
Absolutely amazing
Still bringing a tear to my eye in 2021.
Make that 2022
Me too 2022😢
Another for 2022
2022 for me as well. But I have a lot more than a tear. I'm doing a full-on ugly cry-face, complete with snot. Things are getting kinda gross 😝
2023 checking in
How in sweet mercy doesn't this performance have a trillion views?
So damn beautiful
when she sings this song and tries to keep the teras from flowing, it hits the depth of life and what I have gone through, this song she sings brings back a lot of memories and tears in my life, Tori is the artist I think deserve all accolades and tribute for bringing out what everyone has gone through. she has done what few artists have done, she has done what other artists have not been able to do.
Tori is amazing. I've watched many people sing songs over my 50 years. Before she sings, you can see a memory spark for her. She's far away in the past but at the same time, present with her audience. It's a rare thing to see in artists who sing the same songs thousands of times during their career. She is one of a kind.
Irish men always have your back and appreciate your music
This is astonishing. I am a pianist and this is genius.
Spent a week in the hospital with my dad recently, just after being introduced to this song for the first time. Had it on a loop in my head, and it made me treasure the time we had together so much. 💜
Thank you Tori. I just lost my dad a few months ago and this song really helped. Cheers.
Tori is a singing angel 😇❤❤❤❤❤
My father died in May of 2015. Tori was one of his favorite musicians, and he was the one who made me a huge fan of hers in my pre-teen and teen years. When papa wasn't listening to talk radio, he would play one of the CDs that he burned of her live performances and other recordings, and he bought me copies of "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" for my 13th birthday. Ever since his passing, I make sure to listen to Tori's music on his birthday (Feb. 18) and Father's Day.
Rest in peace, dad. Until we meet again someday.
I was in college when her album and this song came out...such a melancholy song...such a beautiful voice...hearing it today instantly brings me back 30 years ago....crazy how time flies
Her voice tho
i sang this at karaoke yesterday for the first time, taking inspiration from this live version. i was worried that either (a) i would butcher the pitch, as i sometimes do for songs; or (b) people wouldn't be interested because it's a slow song and they probably wouldn't know it. but i didn't mess it up, and the bar was transfixed!! my boyfriend heard someone say, "i don't know this song, but i like it". such an incredible song. 🤍
If you don't get a few tears in your eyes while listening to this. You are truly missing something so special in her personal verse
amazing..
So much emotion in this performance!
"When you gonna make your mind, when you gonna love yourself as much as I do" always breaks my heart. Brilliantly beautiful. I don't believe is angels, but if they exist Tori is one... what a beautiful creature.
People start sharing our Girl again. This world is so undone at present... Everyone needs more Tori in their life. What a performance. I feel every emotion all at once 🙏💗 Jane 🇦🇺
Thanks for your love and support to my music, I have you all my fans to be most grateful for 🌹♥️
You are so right. The world could do with more Tori
There could never. Never. Never be too much Tori. Never. I know you know.
I never knew my dad, this song explains, why now at the age of 49 it still hurts. Saw her live in1994 - she was amazing, atill love to listen to her now. Thank You Tori xx
The emotional power of this song gets me man. We all hear about masterpieces and such as we get older and I think we all will eventually find that one personal "Masterpiece" that is hard to not revisit. Tori is very underrated and In my opinion on a Mozart level of mastery in her music. Her music is amazing.
Truly astonishing talent.
Thank you Tori for enriching and inspiring me throughout the years. Your genuine songs and compositions have followed me since my teeanage years and they still grow in my mind and they have been probably the best therapy for my mental pain and suffering ever! I have in deed been skating around the truth who I am and I realize now more than ever that the ice is getting thin. This particular performance in the video is really representative of how authentic and unique you are as one of the worlds greatest performers. Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again! You are truly my anchor and I can always rely on your music! I'm my mother, I'm my son and both of them shall walk with me towards the rising of the Sun and your music will accompany us in our perfect triangle of imperfection and remind us of life and renew our spirit and the love of one another! Thank you!
How anybody can be in that audience and not lose their ever-loving minds when she starts this song is beyond my ability to understand. One of the most beautiful songs ever created in the history of recorded music. Chills. EVERY. Single. TIME!
I have watching this a zillion times. The song is so heart-wrenching for me, because I do NOT have this relationship with my father. IMHO It is one of the most beautiful performances....even . I consider myself blessed to have seen you in the late '80s at the State Theater in Kalamazoo.
I never heard of her or this song until today. I can't believe what I've found.. I love you Tori ❤
Welcome to the tribe SunRay.
Goose bumps even after all these years...fantastic emotional song
I was here at this magical unforgettable concert, and she was absolutely right, things will change...absolutely everything has changed, and almost nothing for the better. The word change synonymous with complete degradation. Her point being stay strong in your heart and soul as everything around you tears into pieces.
Stunning. The lyrics. Her voice. Her prowess on the piano. I just found this video. It’s a masterpiece. She’s beautiful inside and out. The emotion that she shows while singing this song is obvious. She wrote this about her dad which just gives it even more meaning to her and us listening to it. I will be listening to this forever.
Listened to this on my evening walk. I listened to the album version first and then listened to this live performance. It was still playing when I walked up on the porch and I stood and watched my wife feeding our kids through the window. It truly was surreal.
I lost my grandad at 12. This song destroys me, but heals me at the same time. I miss him so much 😔
So so lovely. 28 or 29, but she looks even younger. This is so pure, and her signature way of gazing out into the audience and her magical presence is already there.
I always think of my Dad when I hear this. ♡♡
What a gorgeous song and so moving. Tori's voice, phrasing and piano is just perfect.
2021 and I find myself watching this with different eyes than I did in the 90's. So many dreams....
A month before turning 28...
6 months before Little Earthquakes...
Years before her trusty Bosendorfer...
A young Tori absolutely KILLING IT!!
I come back to this song and performance from time to time and have for years and will continue to. She is gripping and dripping with talent. Should have 550 million views if not a billion. First heard this about 10 years ago and come back to it annually. Cannot get through Winter without another listen.
So, I just watched your interview with Rick Beato. Brilliant. One of my friends had your CD 1992. I played it home alone, and this song was so perfect. I'm 64. My father was an interim pastor and had to leave when I was 13. Not to bring sympathy, empathy at all. This song blew me away. Just so real. Thos is my favorite video of Winter. And,here it comes again. You're brilliant. Thank you. HAPPY Holidays.
De France.
Je tiens a remercier et a féliciter le ou les caméramens qui ont eut la judicieuse idée de filmer Tori avec des gros plan sur son visage avec des fondus enchaînés qui nous prouvent que la musique s'écoute mais aussi qu'elle se regarde.
Tori est FANTASTIQUE par son expressivité, elle a le talent extraordinaire d'une pantomime qui nous traduit ses sentiments par les expressions de son visage tout en nous racontant une belle histoire par son chant pour nous emporter avec son jeu de piano dans les nymphes de son imaginaire, le tout dans une perfection d'exécution proche de l'irréel .
Il n'est pas étonnant que Tori, ai été considérée comme une Véritable Légende dès le début de sa carrière.
Des millions de MERCIS à Tori pour nous faire découvrir ce qu'est L' ART !!!!!!!!
Wow, great quality!
Never fails to make me cry on Christmas day. I miss my Dad.
absolutely amazing. thank you. really.
