Some people are surprised when I tell them I am a Tori Amos fan. They think she doesn’t fit in with my usual musical tastes I suppose, but if they gave her a chance they’d find that her irreverent and edgy lyrics may actually be interesting to them as well.
On top of her lyrics, she has Led Zeppelin playing before, between, and after the show for the audience. Not your typical “pop” artist. Nor do most of my metalhead buddies probably realize that she has covered Slayer’s “Raining Blood.”
I’ve wanted to see her live performance for almost 20 years now, but she has never played in Southern Oregon… until this past Saturday night.
Her show was amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take photos after the first two songs so I don’t have any of the lighting that took effect beginning with about the fifth song. Nor do I have any of her playing under the starry sky that came out near the end of her set. Maybe she’ll come back and let me shoot the last two songs next time. 😉
I’m going to be shooting Tori Amos on July 19, 2014 in Jacksonville. Tickets are still available here. Photos will be posted here after the show.
