* at about 6:40 Tori says this to a drunk heckler and keeps on singing

In 1999 someone thought it would be a great idea to put Tori Amos and Alanis Morisette on tour together. When the 5½ Weeks Tour hit Las Vegas, NV it was filmed for a Pay Per View Special. This recording comes form a bootleg DVD of that show. Tori is in fine voice and except for 2 songs is accompanied by a backing band of bass, drums, and guitars. Tori blows the lyrics to "Professional Widow" and leads the band on a little improv of "Things Fuck Up" before launching back into the song. During "The Waitress" a drunk heckler annoys Tori to the point where she shouts at the unruly person to perform a certain sex act on her, then continues on without missing a beat.

This is a really nice sounding recording and an awesome performance from Tori and band.

Tori's music has been described as erotic, sensual, and hauntingly beautiful. It has a heaviness to it ala Peter Gabriel era Genesis due to the tone, presentation, and lyrical content. Heavy but not in a metal way. More cerebral.

Tori was composing piano pieces at the age of 5 and was given a scholarship at the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Her scholarship was taken away at age 11 for her interest in rock music and refusal to read music. Her insistence to play by ear and not read music was the basis for the band name Y Kant Tori Read, Tori's first band. The band was a synth group that featured future Cult and Guns n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum. The bands first album was a commercial flop and the band broke up. Tori was held to her contractual obligation for 6 more albums, so her solo career was born. Tori has been nominated for 8 Grammys, 4 MTV Video Awards, and 1 Brit Award. Not too bad for a rebellious preachers daughter from Baltimore, Maryland.

A nice recording from an in studio appearance on WTMX-FM Chicago. Just Tori and her piano, interview and 4 songs performed for an audience that had to answer questions about Tori to win a chance to see the show. Sounds like a very intimate room and Tori is in fine voice for someone who has been up all night on a tour bus. 2 of the 4 songs played are non-album B-sides to singles.
