NPR Music Presents: Tori Amos in Concert

About This Movie

This concert film features Tori Amos in an intimate setting, performing at (Le) Poisson Rouge in NYC. The atmosphere is quite personal, enhanced by a string accompaniment that adds depth to her already rich piano work. It's interesting how the selection of songs reflects her evolution over the years, rather than just hitting the usual highlights you'd expect. The pacing feels organic, moving through various themes that have defined her career without the pressure of a standard setlist. There's an authenticity in her performance that captures her essence beautifully, making this a distinct experience for collectors who appreciate not just the songs but the story behind them.

This concert holds a certain appeal among collectors, especially since it captures a rare performance format that isn’t widely available. The film's distribution has been somewhat limited, contributing to its scarcity in collector circles. Most versions you find are likely to be digital, as physical media releases were minimal. The intimate nature of the concert combined with Amos's unique style makes it a sought-after piece for those who appreciate her deeper catalog.
