I was at this very show when this was recorded. 2005 Red Rocks Colorado. Her hair was blowing she had this flowing gold dress with a wrap and it blew with the wind so beautifully she looked like a goddess. Great show.
I was at this show. September 5th, 2005 Red Rocks. 3rd row. When she played this song it literally shook me to the core. The entire amphitheater was vibrating as her keyboard hit certain resonate frequencies. It was so fucking sad and slow and hauntingly beautiful...I literally have goosebumps just thinking about it. Her mom was in the hospital at that time and they weren't sure if her mom was going to make it. Something was going on with her heart. So when she was playing this song, singing "if I only could make a deal with God / get him to swap our places", she was singing about her mom. 💔 Too. Fucking. Real. 😭😭😭
it is INTENSE!! i just heard a powerful interview with her on a podcast called GASLITNATION. She explains a very strong connection with her mother. RIP🌹
Tori, Kate, Imogen, Enya... theirs are the kind of voices that, as soon as I listen... all of my negativity, self-hate, doubt and fear disappears. They're the only drug I need.
Absolutely love Kate Bush and Tori Amos. They should never be compared. They may draw from a similar universe, but they have created their own worlds from the ground up. =)
So true. I hate when idiots try to say Tori is just a Kate imitator. These fuck-tards haven't written a song nor play an instrument. So they both are women who play the piano and have an eclectic style. Wow...then that's all there must be to it. Don't consider the uniqueness of Tori's songs (melody/chords)..."they have vaginas, sing, and play an instrument with black and white keys!". What's more, even if Tori drew "inspiration" from Kate (which I really am not sure of [as if there can't be more than one kooky, piano playing girl in the world]), Tori's leaps and bounds above Kate as an instrumentalist. Kate could "play" the piano. Tori is a virtuoso.
I was watching a Kate Bush doc in which Tori was interviewed and she said the first time she heard this song she was driving and she had to pull over and listen to it cause it was so good.
She has bravely done many difficult covers and she NEVER fails to do the song justice. Never thought l would ever hear an artist dare to do Kate Bush songs and do them so well that I enjoy Tori's as much as I do Kate. This woman doesn't have to take a second seat to anyone. She possesses a talent that few others can compare to.
What else? Voices and emotions! Kate and Tori offer everyone the feeling of having a better soul and the will to want to share it for a world with more love!
I was 16 years old when Under The Pink was released in the mid 1990s. Loved Tori back then & still love her now. She is only a few artist I still respect for maintaining her integrity & keeping the music REAL😍
Yeah just like they did with Jeff Buckley, when he played live you almost couldn't hear the crowd in some moments, his voice was just so stunning... I don't know why people ALWAYS shout on Tori's performances, ugh.
I always find it awkward when the crowd starts clapping, out of sync and then slowly dissipates. I get shouting (at the appropriate time) but clapping to the song just weirds me out!!
Tori and her covers man.......tori has a very special spot in my heart :) i'll always run to her and listen to her music no matter how i feel :) not many artists can achieve that.
I saw her do her cover of this at the Greek Theatre when she was here in LA two summers ago, and I was blown away. I love Tori and I love Kate, and to hear Tori's cover of one of my favorite songs EVER was amazing, and will always cherish that memory....
I believe this is from her performance at Red Rocks in Colorado September 2005. I've seen Tori 14 times but this concert was the most memorable of all, this song being a highlight of the entire show. I still recall it echoing on the rock walls, and I want to say there was a thunderstorm off in the distance from our high view. Haunting and mesmerizing at the same time. So fun to bring up this memory. Thanks for posting it!
jobriathboy Tori's music stays with you always,thats the same with me. I once moved into a city didnt know anyone but I had Tori's music as my companion
I'm happy about that "historical" recording and how you defend both. They are worth it. Two fallen angels from the same star - landed on different continents, with a little difference of time. The earth is still spinning 🙂
absolutely seamless segue. these songs were made for each other and this brooding bass-heavy sound. Tori fans are maybe the biggest hunters of live recordings and rarities, for good reason - she never plays a song the same way twice and there's a whole load of incredible cover versions tucked away in her back catalogue. My key inspiration, along with Elton John, as I'm mixing down my first album and writing the second.
the same ignorant people spewing the same ignorant hateful comments to Tori, how typical. she clearly really admires Kate and has shown that through the years with her imagery as well as this tribute cover to her, but instead of recognizing this you all choose hate... i look up to both of them. i play piano as well as sing with a high vibrato voice, because they are who i learned from and i loved what i heard. point is, people draw from those they look up to for inspiration. beethoven did the same with bach whom beethoven admired... it would be a real trip if years from now Kates son Bertie and Toris daughter Tash ended up meeting/falling in love, since they are only 2 years apart. maybe that would shut you guys up.
I think it's an act of bravery for anyone to cover Kate Bush, much less Tori, who was unfairly pigeonholed as a Kate clone by some in her early days. In reality she is a vastly different artist. The only important thing they have in common is that their genius minds lead them into artistic places my mind cannot follow. I slightly hate them for that, but it's the hate of love! LOL.
yeah i know what you mean. Kates music, well certain songs i can comprehend, because it is similar chord progressions and things i use, but overall yeah, she is vastly superior to anything i have ever composed and the kick inside fucking AMAZES ME, because she was writing those songs as 13/14 years old!! they sound so grown up!! moreover they were EXTREMELY innovative.. to me Kate Bush was the first "alternative artist" she came out right around the punk movement and i think without her influence music as we know it wouldn't have existed in the 80s/90s... the last good decades for music... punk was the attitude of the rebellion in the alternative scene that came later, but Kate was the spirit of it. of individuality... they don't GET anymore unique than her.. now when it comes to Toris music?? that prodigy is on another plateau that i will never comprehend.. she should really be credited with her early work showing what a piano is capable of.. she is the jimi hendrix of piano players.. she took a piano and turned it into a guitar/bass/drums all in one instrument.. what other artists could draw young people in using nothing but a piano and her voice playing the same arenas fucking nine inch nails played at? all whilst having NO drums, no band and everyone thought it was "cool" lol.. there will only ever be one Tori Amos and only one Kate Bush.. also, there is no performer on this fucking planet that can touch the passion that Tori gives on stage.. she really gives it her all.. she lets you into her fucking soul.. if these haters knew anything about her they would realize that..
datura1983 Yeah, when I listen past Tori's 3rd or 4th album, I'm like, "This is good. This is definitely, unquestonably good. But I don't understand it. At all. I feel stupid. I'm uncomfortable." That I play piano myself only makes it worse. If I were still in my teens or twenties I would probably listen to every album 50 times (like I did the first two), until I believed I understood them, but as one gets older, that sort of thing becomes much harder to do.
Ben Culture Artistis tend to get more and more daring with every album. It makes sense that Tori's more recent albums are harder to stomach. Kate's last two albums have been the same way.
There are so many bands that sound a bit like each other just because they belong to the same genre so I will never understand why people bash Tori just for walking through the doors Kate opened in the late 70's, and just at the time when Kate stopped being active, it's a good thing someone was there to keep that genre alive and expand it. They both use piano and they both play a lot with their vocal range particularly in their earlier records, and that's about it. The atmosphere and intent of their songs is very different, plus Tori kept centering her music on the piano while Kate experimented with other instruments and synths and different ways to layer and use sounds. If you listen to their interviews, their personalities as well as the way they approach their music and the creative process are almost polar opposites. They may fall in the same genre, one that Kate pioneered, but that doesn't mean other artists can't play in the same space. Thanks to Kate and Tori there's room for artists like Joanna Newsom now, I can't wait to see other women making haunting music and following in their footsteps (and hopefully making one or two Tori and Kate covers).
Anyone with a voice that reaches you inside is an artist. Kate and Tori are unique and reach me both that way forever. Do not compare them they are both original and brilliant. Tori can sing any song she wants too. Kate Bush likewise! So shut up your trash comments, these divas have been a part of my life since 1976
the first time i shouted automatically (louder , smile) then the public and cried and couldn´t believe this is really true, that tori covered one of my favorite life tracks in a way, which is like god speaking to yourself, staying alive and strong, when the heart is broken sometimes.
I have had the opportunity to see Tori live a few times in my lifetime and she always surprises me and makes me CRY I love her for that and I miss her on radio today. I want more....GOD sometimes you just don't come through babe......LOVE you 4LIFE!!!!
I would never have even though to compare them and I love both equally. They are just very different and both the most underrated artists we have in the world today
This is so beautiful, I have no words. One of the best covers ever, and then it flows into "God", it's perfect. I've always wondered what Kate thinks of Tori.
My goodness, I have heard many versions of this, none anything like one another, faith and the muse, placebo, kerli, kate of course, within temptation, tori here, and purple crush.... what is so wonderful is that none of them sound anything like each other but all of them are BEAUTIFUL! I love this song and her rendition is lovely!
Tori is f'ing awesome! She worked so hard to get to where she is. Yes, she does cover songs, along with how many other artists?!?! Many of her covers... I never would have given the song a listen if it wasn't for her. She is so intelligent and talented, it is hard for some to comprehend.
This is hauntingly gorgeous, I'd loved Tori Amos for the longest, since early 90's and high school. I have never seen her live, I'd love to....and I've always loved "Running up that Hill," this is beautiful, the magic and talent of Tori, how she entertwines these songs, just beautiful
I somehow perceive it as a gift on its own to be grateful for, the fact that she has always been giving us these countless cover songs. Not that i always thoroughly enjoy them but it's always an interesting experience.
Tori has always said Kate Bush is her idol and muse. She draws from Kate's lyrics and tone but makes the music all her own, THE GREATEST LOVE TO THEM BOTH ✌️🏻❤️
Sweet mother! I didn't notice that she went back to Running at the end...had to rewind and listen again to how she did it. She's such a friggin goddess.
I never knew she covered Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" that was amazing :) And I will never understand this fascination with Battle Royale FEMALE EDITION. Why can't female artists just get along? Don't wanna see Kate and Tori "fight". Why should they? They're both awesome and so haunting at the same time.
what the next generation of stranger things doesn't know is we had kate bush and tori amos at the same time! thank the lord! they got me trough my teen years and beyond. thank you kate and tori ....thank you.
I was able to see Tori at a record release party for "Little Earthquakes" - was about 6 ft away from her...and she's the real deal. An amazing performance. I love Kate Bush. I've been a fan of hers since '77, but let's face it- until extremely recently she hasn't done live shows, has never toured, and to be frank, her last few albums have been a yawn. For me, listening to a Tori album is like listening to an album Kate should have made...but didn't. Kate, you can convince me otherwise...just tour the States....just once....please...!!!!
Kate Bush went on tour in 1979. All of the shows were in Europe and most of them were in Britain. She found it too exhausting and that is why she has not toured again.
Tori is one artist able to actually interpret Kate. It’s great to see how many artists are inspired by the original tune but so many are simply retreading it - which is a fine tribute to Kate but not much of a statement of independent artistry. Tori is really a major artist whose work is actually comparable to the level of Kate’s work.
About a year ago I found UA-cam video of Kate and Tori performing two songs together, it was amazing and of course now it is now missing - I HATE that they keep removing stuff :o( I love this performance - thanks so much for the post
The funny thing is that Kate Bush fans that accusing her don't know Tori AT ALL. I may not know the entire catalog of Kate but I listened to some of her songs and as I said before there is no similarities. Since you are so sure about what you are talking about could you just give me a real example of Tori "copying Kate"? I want song names of both.
I like to think that both of these beautiful, talented women would - should they ever meet - hug each other and recognize each other as unique, amazing artists. Each woman brings something unique to the table. And the voices of them both are needed in this world.
Thanks for uploading. I heard this back in L.A. and couldn't forget it. She said somewhere in the evening, "if you were living in L.A a while ago and saw a red head girl in traffic and give you the finger, that was me."
@DroneBzzz Yeah the placement of this song in that episode was chilling... it's why I'm tubing all the versions of this song now, gonna arrange a cover. cheers.
I can see how Tori was influenced by Kate, as well as several other people but she forged her own path. They're both towering talents and liking one doesn't negate a liking for the other.
Thank you for using "unicum" correctly, and the spelling is correct also. What a breath of fresh air in light of all the adults that should go back to grade school that post here on youtube. GREAT!!! S
i love this pairing. and i still love and respect tori. admitedly, i haven't followed her on every musical journey she's chosen to embark on. but, live, even the songs that i have little or no interest in, take on a life of their own. i've always really enjoyed that about tori. she does remind me of kate bush, as well as contemporariesl pj harvey and bjork.and i see a lot of laura nyro in her, too. but, whatever tori does, it's clearly her own thing.
WOO!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!! ~ ok, but not DURING Tori´s Performance !!! . Listen to it by headphones ~ ~ ~ these sounds have the POWER to cure, maybe even to heal ~ don´t know if Tori has intended this . . . ;o)
Tori is a GENIUS and you would see it if you had not those stupid prejudices of "who is better". We are not talking about Kate versus I don't know Katy Perry. We are talking about TORI AMOS. You may don't like her but please RESPECT HER.

Omg this hits you deep
Wow ❤

I wish you told those other people to shut the fuck up. No one wants to hear morons screaming and hollering.

Well said, now put this n ur pipe n have a toke... ua-cam.com/video/wWm-EkHSgL0/v-deo.html
Yes!! All the female artists I love the most!! And as a singer also they have been a total inspiration for me 🫶🏻
Agree 100%
And Elizabeth Fraser?
Absolutely love Kate Bush and Tori Amos. They should never be compared. They may draw from a similar universe, but they have created their own worlds from the ground up. =)
They really should never be compared. And they're both wonderful.

kambermusic agree!

My god this woman’s voice moves me like no other music I’ve ever heard. If I ever met her, I’d probably cry or act a damn fool. She’s brilliant.
My two favorite female artists, Kate and Tori.
+Kent Mains Hm, go for Alanis, Bjork and Dolores in this list and you'll be quite satisfied as well
Victor Gobatti Been listening to some Bjork lately and I do like her music.
Kent Mains i love Kate...love Tori...Bjork...and right now in love with crush nr4 ..... Sia
What else? Voices and emotions! Kate and Tori offer everyone the feeling of having a better soul and the will to want to share it for a world with more love!

She was seriously only 16! I had no idea! Thank you for that trivia….OmG now I’m going to have to think
There's magic here.
Wow. Just gives you the chills. Tori is a musical genius.
Tori's talent is as few and far between as light is from dark.
She is one of my earth angels that i hold in high esteem. Rare beauty ~ ❤
Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Placebo, beautiful, ethereal, fantastic, the song of my life............
There are no words to describe this other than.. mesmerising. That voice is pure magic!
This is an absolutely pivotal performance of this
The coolest part is that Tori totally pulled this out of her ass at the last minute. She's that brilliant.
Two of the most underrated Musicians of all time.
This is absolutely beautiful.
For me, this is beyond mood music. I close my eyes and drift and when I return I am thankful to be alive.
People shouldn't shout during the performance they should after she is finished the song, takes away the intensity
Yeah just like they did with Jeff Buckley, when he played live you almost couldn't hear the crowd in some moments, his voice was just so stunning... I don't know why people ALWAYS shout on Tori's performances, ugh.
It's amazing isn't it. Some people just feel compelled to fill a silence by conveying their own participatory enjoyment.
I always find it awkward when the crowd starts clapping, out of sync and then slowly dissipates. I get shouting (at the appropriate time) but clapping to the song just weirds me out!!
Tori and her covers man.......tori has a very special spot in my heart :) i'll always run to her and listen to her music no matter how i feel :) not many artists can achieve that.
words from my mouth,.. thank you ..

i envy you in the best way !!!!!! redrocks tori is on my bucket list .. i'm so fearing it wont be possible... =(
I know, I'm not sure if she will ever play there again. :( If she does, I will be there!
thank you for everything Tori... thank you for just being... you saved my life back in '92 and i've followed you ever since.
jobriathboy Tori's music stays with you always,thats the same with me. I once
moved into a city didnt know anyone but I had Tori's music as my companion

This is Brilliant, Amos should release a set of her best covers, this of course should be included.
She’s always puts her unique stamp on songs, I just adore Tori !
Spine tingling. Love them both
And I thought I liked Meg Meyers's cover of Running second to Kate's original ... until I heard Tori's cover here.
This is so beautiful, I have no words. One of the best covers ever, and then it flows into "God", it's perfect. I've always wondered what Kate thinks of Tori.
My goodness, I have heard many versions of this, none anything like one another, faith and the muse, placebo, kerli, kate of course, within temptation, tori here, and purple crush.... what is so wonderful is that none of them sound anything like each other but all of them are BEAUTIFUL! I love this song and her rendition is lovely!
God I love Tori and her "Rhodes Moments."
She's like the Liberace of piano.
Tori has touched the light, and sees the darkness to come...
Tori is f'ing awesome! She worked so hard to get to where she is. Yes, she does cover songs, along with how many other artists?!?! Many of her covers... I never would have given the song a listen if it wasn't for her. She is so intelligent and talented, it is hard for some to comprehend.
Magic!! No one else has that power.
I wish that kind of New Wave would come back :(
Make it!
in due time
Then it wouldn't be new anymore ; )
Both are amazing artists its simple except it, enjoy it, fall in love with it !
'accept'
This is hauntingly gorgeous, I'd loved Tori Amos for the longest, since early 90's and high school. I have never seen her live, I'd love to....and I've always loved "Running up that Hill," this is beautiful, the magic and talent of Tori, how she entertwines these songs, just beautiful
I have heard this mashup at least once in concert...and it was such a beautiful performance... I don't see why we can't love both Kate and Tori.
I somehow perceive it as a gift on its own to be grateful for, the fact that she has always been giving us these countless cover songs. Not that i always thoroughly enjoy them but it's always an interesting experience.
Soothing for this immense heartache of mine....
Imagine a collaboration between these artists. Yes please.
each chill my soul . there is no possible comparison.
One of the songs of my life
Tori has always said Kate Bush is her idol and muse. She draws from Kate's lyrics and tone but makes the music all her own, THE GREATEST LOVE TO THEM BOTH ✌️🏻❤️
Truly amazing.I play this all the time
Tori you are powerful.I fell in love with your voice immediately.
Sweet mother! I didn't notice that she went back to Running at the end...had to rewind and listen again to how she did it. She's such a friggin goddess.
I never knew she covered Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" that was amazing :) And I will never understand this fascination with Battle Royale FEMALE EDITION. Why can't female artists just get along? Don't wanna see Kate and Tori "fight". Why should they? They're both awesome and so haunting at the same time.
what the next generation of stranger things doesn't know is we had kate bush and tori amos at the same time! thank the lord! they got me trough my teen years and beyond. thank you kate and tori ....thank you.
I heard this cover way before I knew who Kate Bush is. (Can't believe I'd never heard of Kate) Now they are both two of my favourite artists.
Where you a hostage of the Taliban for 24 years before you heard this cover then?!! How can you not have heard of Kate Bush?!!!
I was able to see Tori at a record release party for "Little Earthquakes" - was about 6 ft away from her...and she's the real deal. An amazing performance. I love Kate Bush. I've been a fan of hers since '77, but let's face it- until extremely recently she hasn't done live shows, has never toured, and to be frank, her last few albums have been a yawn. For me, listening to a Tori album is like listening to an album Kate should have made...but didn't. Kate, you can convince me otherwise...just tour the States....just once....please...!!!!
i dont think she will come to America.-and nowhere no more - kate s from another world.-
Kate Bush went on tour in 1979. All of the shows were in Europe and most of them were in Britain. She found it too exhausting and that is why she has not toured again.
Tori is one artist able to actually interpret Kate. It’s great to see how many artists are inspired by the original tune but so many are simply retreading it - which is a fine tribute to Kate but not much of a statement of independent artistry. Tori is really a major artist whose work is actually comparable to the level of Kate’s work.
I really do love Tori Amos her music is so emitionally charged and observant
I froze while listening to this. Absolutely beautiful.
Agree with comment from a similar universe
About a year ago I found UA-cam video of Kate and Tori performing two songs together, it was amazing and of course now it is now missing - I HATE that they keep removing stuff :o( I love this performance - thanks so much for the post
Love her voice
The first lines of Tori singing Kate just gave. me. chills.
The funny thing is that Kate Bush fans that accusing her don't know Tori AT ALL. I may not know the entire catalog of Kate but I listened to some of her songs and as I said before there is no similarities. Since you are so sure about what you are talking about could you just give me a real example of Tori "copying Kate"? I want song names of both.
I like to think that both of these beautiful, talented women would - should they ever meet - hug each other and recognize each other as unique, amazing artists. Each woman brings something unique to the table. And the voices of them both are needed in this world.
My fav asrtist of all time, singing my fav song of all time! AMAZING! i wish i knew this existed sooner!
Fantastic cover of such a great song
Her music shows such beauty, such a soul & an outstanding talent!
Such a beautifull song and then the comments are so angry and furious. Chill out people and enjoy this wonderfull live version of a great Lady!
Another version of this song was in the Warehouse 13 finale. Loved it. And Tori's version is amazing.
Thanks for uploading. I heard this back in L.A. and couldn't forget it. She said somewhere in the evening, "if you were living in L.A a while ago and saw a red head girl in traffic and give you the finger, that was me."
I am ... thank you for posting this.... both Kate and Tori got their wishes. This is God.
Pure and simple people.........Moving the planet
@bbruening1 Your comment is probably the best thing I have read about the comparisons. It really reaches the core of this petty fandom rivalry.
Not too many artists can handle Kate Bush's material...Tori Amos nails it. I hear a lot of parallels with Leslie Feist as well.
Tori, i love you
I'm glad you posted a warning. I love Kate and Tori both and I hate the haters who don't believe in love for everyone.
Gefällt mir sehr gut, tolle Interpretation von Kate! Super Tori, bitte mehr davon!
I have nothing to say but what Tori says
Tori would want you to be your own person, sweetie!
@DroneBzzz Yeah the placement of this song in that episode was chilling... it's why I'm tubing all the versions of this song now, gonna arrange a cover. cheers.
Divine, I wasn't convinced at first but was soon won over!
Beautiful cover Tori 💕
I'm completely covered in bees right now.
I can see how Tori was influenced by Kate, as well as several other people but she forged her own path. They're both towering talents and liking one doesn't negate a liking for the other.
Thank you for using "unicum" correctly, and the spelling is correct also. What a breath of fresh air in light of all the adults that should go back to grade school that post here on youtube. GREAT!!! S
The best cover I ever heard
Brilliant tribute.. so emotional
gosh, i will cry, this is flawless
Great juxtaposition of two thematically similar songs!
I really like the sound of that keyboard. It's so dreamy.
i love this pairing. and i still love and respect tori. admitedly, i haven't followed her on every musical journey she's chosen to embark on. but, live, even the songs that i have little or no interest in, take on a life of their own. i've always really enjoyed that about tori. she does remind me of kate bush, as well as contemporariesl pj harvey and bjork.and i see a lot of laura nyro in her, too. but, whatever tori does, it's clearly her own thing.
Hauntingly beautiful!
WOO!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!! ~ ok, but not DURING Tori´s Performance !!!
.
Listen to it by headphones ~ ~ ~ these sounds have the POWER to cure, maybe even to heal ~ don´t know if Tori has intended this . . . ;o)
Tori is a GENIUS and you would see it if you had not those stupid prejudices of "who is better". We are not talking about Kate versus I don't know Katy Perry. We are talking about TORI AMOS. You may don't like her but please RESPECT HER.
