The live portion of _To Venus and Back_ is the only full-length live album available. However, check out her singles from TVaB, because they all contain live solo piano bee-sides recorded on the 1998 tour. Unfortunately, all of the bee-sides are solo piano, she didn't use any of her newly-Plugged songs. Note that Tori didn't do PW on the 1998 tour. >DURING THE VENUS TOUR WHICH KICKED OFF IN SEPT, DID SHE PLAY EVERY SONG EVER >MADE? IT CAME TO SEATTLE IN JAN, UNFORTCH I COULDNT AFFORD TO SEE. Tori missed quite a few songs on her 1998 and 1999 tours. There are still several songs that Tori hasn't played live on any tour, including "The Pool", her cover of "Do It Again", and a few others. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 00:04:48 EDT From: Judas658@aol.com Subject: Re: videos & Spark Spark background "Between cottonballs and Xylophones I'm getting older" And "Swing low swing high sweet chariot" I think!

(for KaTe's press release regarding this, see ). the KaTefans on love-hounds have had both reactions to this post-event news: support for her decision to keep it quiet for the sake of her son and a feeling of betrayal that KaTe did not share the news sooner. i imagine torifans would react similarly. woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 06:37:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Erinita Subject: Re: movie score I checked the Internet Movie Database on Neverwhere, and it says it is due out in 2001.

Hello everyone, I went into Borders yesterday and found the 'Authorised biography of Tori Amos.' I've heard it mentioned before here I think, but never seen it. Anyway, it was £12.95 (roughly $21) - is that a good price for a new copy? And is it a collectors item, at all? Secondly, my well meaning but not too well-informed friend bought me a second copy of the US winter single, because he thought it was the ultra-rare UK one. So I now have a spare copy. I know it's not very valuable or anything, but if there's anyone here who'd like to swap it for something (like the Concertina single maybe? or something non Tori?) then please e-mail me, I'd be very grateful. The Winter single is still wrapped, as new (it's got The Pool, Sweet Dreams, Upside Down and Take to the Sky on it.)

However, I will still refer to this as a rumor, simply because it is not comfirmed PUBLIC information. Its not straight from the horse's mouth for everyone to hear. So I'm calling it RUMOR until she talks about it, or reveals her little one to the world. I mean no offense to those who also have reason to belive it to be true. K?

I think she's just moaning or something at some parts and some other parts are the lines she's singing, but a step behind. Like the 'give Judas a try' line the backups are saying 'try' when she does...and then the same in the chorus. >also...what are the videos like for Waitress & space dog? (my >fave >songs--live versions only) There are no videos for these. Unless they're on the live video, but I don't know anything about that. The only songs that have music videos are Crucify, Silent All These Years, Winter, China, God, Past the Mission, Pretty Good Year, Cornflake Girl (2 versions), Caught a Lite Sneeze, Hey Jupiter, Talula, Spark, Jackie's Strength, and Raspberry Swirl. Those are all on the compilation video. 1000 Oceans, Glory of the 80's, and Bliss are on CD singles. - --liquid pie ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 17:20:02 EDT From: Seemedisco@aol.com Subject: Re: movie score If Death is made into a movie, I'll be the happiest person alive :D clint ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 20:40:16 EDT From: JNe9027355@aol.com Subject: Blood Roses with the full band Napster's too fickle to find it on.
