5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.....but heres a better description, February 14, 2000

I have to say that this CD is probably the best Tori single ever...and all the real Toriphiles out there can attest to that. However, i also have to say that amazon.com...(while i love them and will always buy from them!) didnt do a very good job describing it....so.....here ya go. It starts off with the "single mix" of Concertina. This is a really cool version of it. It sticks to the album version, and has some cool harmonies built into it. Track two is...i think....THE BEST tori cover EVER. It is Tori's LIVE version of Leanord Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat". For those of you who want the original version of this song...it is available through amazon.com on the CD...A tribute to Leonard Cohen. Track 3 is a live version of Tori's own song "Twinlke" which is a short little song...with a big meaning. For those of you wondering...yes, these are the same extra that are on one of the imports for "Glory of the 80's". And as an added bonus to this cd...you get a free video for Glory of the Eighties, playable via the internet only for people who get this cd...and it is in excellent CD quality, since the actual video and sound is on the cd...you just need the internet to get to it. Well, i hope that was good enough description for you all! Hey by the way....did i mention.....BUY THIS CD! ITS WORTH THE 7 BUCKS! Love, your forever fellow Toriphile.....Joe...and hey....email me sometime...we'll talk ALL about tori! [e-mail]. BYE!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wondering about the quality of these live tracks?, February 25, 2000

Most Tori fans will consider getting this disc for 3 reasons: (1) To get the video (2) To get the remix of Concertina (3) To get the live tracks The video is not one of my favorites, but likely the only way you will get to see it, so if you are as curious as I was, naturally this is a good thing to get. The remix of Concertina is not particularly interesting. The song sounds a bit broken with the extra vocals added in, although in some places it sounds fantastic. The live tracks are really the reason why I think the single is worth having (for those of us who don't just collect them all). Both are very well done and superior to the studio versions of these songs with which we are all familiar. I was not even fond of either song until this revelation. I highly recommend these tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Any Tori Fan, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Concertina / Famous Blue Raincoat / Twinkle (Audio CD)

This single is definitely worth the money. Although I enjoyed the remix of "Concertina" as well as the live version of "Twinkle", it is Tori's live rendition of "Famous Blue Raincoat" that really stands out. The lyrics, by Leonard Cohen, are insightful and hauntingly beautiful--a perfect match for Tori's voice! She sings it like it was her own. The first time I heard it, I couldn't get the song out of my head, and no matter how many times I listen to it, it never gets old. It is simply a masterpiece--breathtaking!
