5.0 out of 5 stars A MandiTori video collection, July 21, 2002

This review is from: Little Earthquakes [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are so many reasons to own this video. Sure, the four music videos included (Silent All These Years, Crucify, China, and Winter) are available on Tori Amos: Complete Videos: 1991-1998, but these professional videos are really not the most special selections offered on this Little Earthquakes video. No one performs live quite like Tori, and this video contains six live performances (Leather, Precious Things, Little Earthquakes, Happy Phantom, Here in my Head, and Song For Eric). These early live performances wonderfully demonstrate the cozy, interdependent, loving relationship between Tori and her audience. Precious Memories is particularly spectacular here; in many ways, it is my favorite recording of that song, much better than even the live performance on the To Venus and Back CD. Tori performs two songs here that are not available on any of her full albums: Here in my Head and the short a cappella Song for Eric. There is also a seventh live performance of the moving and very personal Me and a Gun, but it was performed for a television audience in Asia rather than before a live concert audience. Interspersed throughout the video are comments from Tori about performing, her own life and memories, adolescence, her selection process for songs to sing in concert, overcoming the mental demons associated with being raped, religion, etc. In her interviews, she is honest, natural, and delightfully weird. Even on stage, she easily chats with her audience and remains genuine and true to herself in everything she says and does. Her thoughts on performing, particularly in terms of the importance of an artist giving back to the audience all of the good vibes she receives from them, is refreshing. Basically, this wonderful video gives you eleven excellent songs, some behind-the-scenes concert footage, and a variety of clips from conversations and interviews; it all adds up to 55 minutes of mandatory, inspirational Tori material.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE DIARY OF A WOMAN AND HER PIANO!, January 20, 2000

This review is from: Little Earthquakes [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Little Earthquakes is Tori Amos's visual diary that goes in depth about the life of the woman behind the piano. The video analyzes the songs and Tori Amos's goals as a performer. The album is very loyal to Tori Fans. You won't be discouraged! There are even two rare songs that Tori plays live (Here in My Head and A Song for Eric). This is truly a wonderful video about the diary of a woman that moves mountains and caused a Little Earthquake.
