#drumteacher #reaction #toriamos - Hudba
One of the things I love about your reactions that set you apart aside from your good taste, great attitude and intelligence is your ability to pick up on details and appreciate their significance toward the whole artistic product. (You would have made a great lawyer!) During the 90's especially, Tori Amos was one of those rare creative fireballs; a sort of Tony Iommi of piano. This was an example of unbridled talent all around, pouring out of the place. Here, even the camera work was superior as well as the sound, so kudos to the filming and production crew. They allowed us to see and hear everything that was going on beautifully.
Even the lyrics are Geezer Butler worthy (of painful memories of growing up as a minster's daughter):
So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after billy
Running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Their hold on me
He said, "You're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play"
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that?
Sick!
Holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I want to smash the faces
Of those beautiful boys
Those Christian boys
So you can make me cum
That doesn't make you Jesus
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Their hold on me
I remember
Yes
In my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me
Where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails
And a little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart
Of every nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Precious, precious
This one is precious Mike. Adore this 🙌
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 👍🤟❤
@@chapmcchap2919 yes!
@@chapmcchap2919”So you can make me c*m, that doesn’t make you Jesus” - one of my all-time favorite lyrics 😂
@@AChickAndADuck yes absolutely hilarious. As men we gotta take it on board.
"and this creature who hits things, this is matt chamberlin" tori amos
I can say that with her, almost to perfection 🙂I never get tired of it.
I wish the whole world knew how brilliant Tori Amos is.
she has more talent in one finger than swift, gaga, grande and co in their whole bodies together...
@@seelenwinter6662 Yeah, I get annoyed when I see on Spotify, that they suggest to me because I like Tori Amos a bunch of women (as if I would like something just because it's a female artist), and it's a bunch of women who don't play instruments and the main focus of the song is the vocals, with no sophisticated musicality to it. I'm just like, "Are you serious? You think this is in any way related to Tori Amos just because they are women?"
Saw her a few years ago and she’s STILL an amazing living legendary artist/musician/lyricist!!!
She's been doing this stuff for 30 years. Watching you creators finally discovering her is like a secret catching on.
I thought the exact same thing
Little earthquakes is one of my desert island albums, never too late to get into her. She is a master.
One of the best albums imo, absolutely amazing. Little Earthquakes, and Disintegration, are my top two desert island albums.
Matt was stupendous with Tori, the whole thing gets me choked up, the power Tori can muster is something to behold.
Yes, Bern! You rock!
Jon Evans on bass (still touring with her) is also a master of groove and texture. Matt and Jon were her rhythm section for quite a few years, awesome pairing
What a team!
Saw her last year in Seattle. Was bummed Matt wasn't touring with her.
Every time I hear Bliss, I tell myself that my life will only be complete once I get a 5-string fretless.
I would consider tori the most underrated artist possibly ever, but definitely from since the 90s.
Damn I miss the 90’s
For those who don't know, Tori Amos writes her own lyrics, her own melody. She plays piano, which is usually the main instrument. She has produced all of her albums (the first 1 or 2 were co-produced). I don't know if she has ever co-written a song. If she has, it's not the norm. She arranges orchestral parts. Note that producing an album means choosing the session musicians and what the accompaniment is. She was the youngest person to be admitted to the Peabody institute at age 5 for her piano work. She is a musical genius.
She is also rare in how many different styles of music she has recorded.
Yep, that about sums it up, Marnee! Well said! Glad you enjoyed it!
A few co-writes that I know of: She co-wrote a song with Peter Gabriel (Party Man from the Virtuosity soundtrack) and she co-wrote Siren with Patrick Doyle for the Great Expectations soundtrack. She also co-wrote a few songs with Al Stewart in the late 80's. .
@@HB-xf2xl interesting information! Thanks!
It's also fun to mention that she got kicked OUT of Peabody for "musical insubordination." They did not appreciate her playing songs by ear and wanted her to be patient and learn theory, and Tori didn't stop playing what she wanted to play (which sets the scene for her whole career, tbh).
There's a great little story she tells about when she was small, that she told her grandfather, "Grandpa, songs are chasing me." And he told her to slow down and let them catch her. Forever glad that she slowed down.
She also has synesthesia and from what I've read, she envisions songs as forms of light, which is fascinating!
I literally have been to thousands of concerts.. from classical, ambient, rock, pop to the heaviest death metal for 40 years... Tori was the best concert I ever saw, hands down, boys for pele tour, she controlled the entire audience, easily, and that was @ the Paramount in Madison Square Garden, NYC... tori is and always has been on another level... she has a vision and goes for it. Her voice is at her peak here, the power there is just insane... the sustain.. wow.
she has more talent in one finger than swift, gaga, grande and co in their whole bodies together...
Wish I could have seen her on that tour. Hands down my favorite album of hers
She is my #1 favorite artist. In top 5 is Tori, Tool, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, and The Doors. But I went to a concert back maybe the late 90s (can't remember for sure). She was touring with Alannis Morisette. In the arena, Morisette's music sounded good. But when Tori came on, the sound mixing was TERRIBLE. It all ran together, it clashed, it screeched and rebounded. I couldn't hear her piano at all. It was honestly really terrible. I don't even consider that I actually saw her in concert, because the sound was just a big unidentifiable jumble. I took my niece with me for her birthday. She was an even bigger fan than I was, and she was extremely disappointed.
I know she's the queen of live performances, but somebody REALLY screwed up that night.
The only other time I went one of her concerts, I was by myself in a fancy theater. The opening act was some young guy - just him and a guitar, and omg, he was just a bubble gum performer with nothing but very simplistic, semi-catchy tunes. It was almost a joke, like music made for a commercial.
I sat through it for about 45 minutes and couldn't take anymore. I walked out before Tori got on stage. I DO regret it, because the sound mixing was were to that point really quite good, and hopefully would have been good when Tori took the stage. As accomplished of a musician as she was, I will NEVER fathom why she would choose to have such an untalented person as an opening act. I was there by myself. If not, I likely would have stayed and maybe seen a really great show. I KNOW that she's phenomenal live, which is all the more reason I've been disappointed in my two experiences.
@@Marnee4191 I so know the feeling... my favorite band is actually King's X from Texas, they played Woodstock 94, I was there and thought the sound was terrible but they did "Manic Depression" and brought the house down but got left off the official album... ugg... Have you heard of Anna Murphy, check out her solo album "Cellar Darling"... her voice is about the closest I ever heard talent wise to Tori (she actually sings lead for a metal band but check her out, she is amazing)... I have only seen tori a few times... which is a major regret! but at least there are great live shows to check out on youtube.
I saw her in Portland on that tour. It was life changing. I still talk about that show to this day as the most incredible experiences of my life, not just best concerts, best experiences period. It expanded my understanding of the limits of human capacity and capability. It was at once the most human an inhuman thing I’d ever seen, otherworldly yet grounded deeply in the earth, absolutely raw and yet utterly refined. After all these years I’ve accepted that I will always lack the language to adequately describe that night. But I was there and I remember
This Goddess needs to be in the Hall of Fame
Maaaan, this is a great find. I LOVE Matt Chamberlain's work with Tori Amos. Hard to overstate how influential Tori was back in that time period, especially with women. Maybe not as big as Oasis or Radiohead, but close. You can pick any of her 1990s albums and get your ass absolutely kicked by the awesomeness -- these are the kinds of albums that appear on "best album of all time" lists.
Glad you liked it, Warren! Awesome post! :)
Agree Warren. Super special performance
Matt Chamberlain has incomparable feel. It is almost instantly recognizable, and impossible to replicate.
Pure musician
Tori, Matt, John Evans on bass, and Steve Caton on guitar
I particularly liked you mentioning Tori's interaction with the other musicians. Knowing how much improv goes into her live shows, I always look for those signs. It's borderline incomprehensible to me how anyone can play an instrument to the level she does, and sing at her level, while investing so much emotion into it, and improvising, and while doing all this simultaneously also keep track of what everyone else is doing and think ahead to let them know where she's going. It just blows my mind. And this isn't even my favorite live version of this song. Also, yes the drumming is phenomenal. There are actually versions of this with only her and a piano, but the drums are so integral to the entire feel and atmosphere that I always stick to the performances that include Matt.
Yup this is live art.
Requires a team of great intuitive players and artists in their own right
Matt's drums on Sugar are my favorite. I also enjoy watching him in the Raspberry Swirl filmed performance.
Sugar is so good.
Matt Chamberlain is my favorite drummer. I saw him play live with Tori 8 times over the course of 10 years. the energy he brought to her live shows was something you had to experience. he played on 8 of her albums from 1998-2009. from what I gather, Matt is the reason Tori started working with Ash Soan on the most recent album tour.
Saw her in concert with Matt and her brother on bass and I swear they had the crowd under hypnosis by the end of the show.
Seen Tori twice in South Africa. I'm 41. She is fantastic. Her and Trent Reznor appreciated each other's music and company quite a bit in their early days (probably still).
Oh good info!
Tori is one of the best, in at least a few categories. her dramatic singing and Matt's insane drumming ion "The Waitress" from this same show will floor you.
Tori Amos is a phenomenon. If you're not familiar with her work... Do dive in. You're in for a treat.
I've adored everything I've heard so far!
The entire Tori Amos Sessions at West 54th is so good. The Waitress, Caught a Lite Sneeze, and iieee are absolutely out of this world! Highly recommend.
Every single track from her is mind blowing….
🙌
Tori has always been a beautiful vocalist that can make the soul fly.
Tori is on another level and Matt is incredible. What an incredibly gifted group of artists.
Great post, Don!
Tori Amos always slays!!!! Her passion is contagious! Circa 1990 my gf was convinced Tori's songs were about other tenants she knew in her apartment complex! Profoundly affected. That era was all about ott creative female artists, tori, fiona apple, bjork, et. al.
this is by far one of the best performances of this song. also "caught a lite sneeze" from the same performance, gives me chills everytime!
This era of Tori with the band is phenomenal, I'd love to see her live with Jon and Matt again. When she really 'went off on one you could see her signal to whichever one she was facing, ok done now. Perfection
Tori Amos’ albums Little Earthquakes and Under The Pink. Doesn’t get much better than these.
Tori was vicious for this. Loved your reaction to it at all the iconic moments that were not just performance but transcendence
Her band on that tour was amazing. iieee was the performance to react to though. The whole breakdown in the middle was paradise. It was so emotional and her piano just sang. “I know you understand the way I feel” part breaks my heart every time.
Oh, and Waitress from this same concert is also incredible. I love watching her gestures and nods when she'd give a little signal to the guys.
Plus if you wanna see a real build up, The Waitress is huge for this. TBH, the live version from To Venus and Back is better, it feels less rushed, but the visual of the Sessions at West 54th version is great.
They are the same performance. It's just that the sound isn't as good on the video.
@@sidhedanu They aren't the same performance, all recordings on To Venus and Back are from the '97-'98 tour in support of From the Choirgirl Hotel album, and the Sessions at West 54th performance happened after the release of To Venus and Back, 2 years later. The build up of the "hang ten" section on the To Venus and Back recording is much longer, and the Sessions version is truncated for time.
I would have sworn that I compared the two in the past and the vocals sounded identical, but I guess I was wrong. :)
@@sidhedanu I was doing some checking up on my memory, and I am wrong about when Sessions at West 54th recording date, it did happen in 98, the thing that nagged at me is I knew Steve Caton left after that tour, so his being in the performance made me realize I was misremembering. However, the Sessions version is definitely different, like I said.
Tori was such an important part of my early adulthood. Precious Things came out when I was in high school. I can’t overstate her influence on my young brain. Especially as a young pianist who wrote music and sang, I couldn’t help but love her.
I owe Matt a huge debt of gratitude. He joined the DW roster while I was employed there. Of course, huge perk getting passes to see Tori with him a few times. Backstage soundcheck at Irvine Meadows. Grabbing a bite in Santa Barbara before the show with him and Jon. Afterward, getting her to sign a drum head I brought along. I owe Matt big!
Maybe already mentioned, but that muted bit was Jon on bass. Love the way he plays. And Matt I hold in such high esteem with the likes of Vinny Colaiuta. Smooth and so fkn tasty! Being a drummer myself, my talent doesn't equal my passion.
That said, Tori is not of this world. First time was back in '94 at the Wadsworth. Just her and her piano. Valerie and Eddy were also there. I know because I walked smack into him as I was turning my head checking out Valerie thinking to myself, she looks so familiar. LOL
Tori A is simply amazing. Words start to fail.
Watching your face go through every stage of grief and absolute disgust at how good it was till finding acceptance was glorious!
Always re-creating her own songs, this is the most fierce head banging version of this song, the sessions show was EPIC... during her"apron" phase ❤
Incredible performances here
Wow! What a good choice/recommendation. A pleasant surprise. Really good stuff.
Beautiful ain't it!
So glad you enjoyed it, Anyroad! 😊👍
Matt Chamberlain is a friggin genius/madman. I’ve seen him play with Tori numerous times and it’s really incredible. Ashe is good, but oh man… More of Matt with Tori please.
Coming up shortly!!
Tori's always had a mastery of texture, dynamics, and composition. Her selection of musicians has always been those who demonstrably embrace her vision. While I'm a deep, deep fan of her pre-2000 work (and post-2000 compilations), the newer works are no less exceptional.
I got to see this band live in an auditorium in 11/98 - it was transcendent.
Tori Amos is an absolutely phenomenal musician, song writer and composer.
The guy's arms never stopped moving. How did he turn the snare wires on and off? 🤯
One of my favorite live performances ever. Great stuff.
Oh wow. That's awesome.
Glad to be discovering it
This whole concert is worth checking out. It’s incredible.
I saw Matt play with Tori in 1998. One of the most musical drummers I've ever seen.
I love Tori. You can see Matt Chamberlain in a lot of live performances with Tori. I think he started with her on her 1998 tour. They have amazing musical "chemistry" together. Her other session videos are amazing. I recommend IIEEE. She's compared to Kate Bush a lot (I love her too), but I respect Tori a little bit more since Tori has a much more expansive tour history than Kate.
The one and only Matt Chamberlain! He is freakin' amazing and another of my favorites!
This performance had a lot of beautiful improv that deviated from the album track, and really allowed her amazing band to shine. She has performances that adhere more to the album version, usually done on network late-night shows. She's amazing, and she's still at it. Her first-ever single was "Silent all these years." She was so young when she started but her brilliance was evident. She's had an amazing career and has continued experimenting and pushing the limits on how much emotion a voice can portray and how metaphoric a lyric can be yet still communicate.
Tori is a legend! Matt Chamberlin and band great here.
Sublime music
I watched this on TV the night it aired. Recorded it on VHS. ❤ love Tori
Matt Chamberlaine made (at least) one recording with Pearl Jam, which is the version of "Alive" used for the official video. It is the best drum version of "Alive" ever recorded, and there are hundreds of recordings of "Alive". Matt stepped in as a stand in drummer between Krusen and Dave Abbruzzese, but didnt want to join Pearl Jam long term.
If you have ever seen the movie Twister, she sings the song Talula.
I would recommend Carbon from the album Scarlet's Walk. One of my favorites in terms of drumming. I really think Matt had a fantastic influence on her songwriting during that period. Great reaction!
That is the type of tom-groove that I have always aspired to play, but have rarely found within myself to accomplish.
I was so into her music when I was in High School, her first two records were really something when I was in my alt rock weird music phase. I saw her live at a local University, and she was astonishing, and it was just her and a piano. Really cool seeing her with a full band.
when you hear a new song you're not familiar with and you think to yourself, "this is really good, I wonder who played on this..."
9 times out of 10, it's Matt Chamberlain.
Yup!! He’s a genius
Listen to her 1st albums: Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, Boys for Pele… she’s a genius who works with other geniuses.
This was a delight
Indeed
Listen to "Cooling" from the same concert. LOVE this song!
Sounds good!
Aside from any commentary I may have as a long time fan (32 years) of Tori Amos, you mentioned Ashwin Sood.
Ashwin was Sarah McLachlan’s husband and drummer from 1991 to 2006. If you want to see an amazing concert of Sarah, watch the Mirrorball concert 1998.
Her band is amazingly talented.
The concert Itself has an excellent set list with a very high rewatchability factor.
No, he mentioned Ash Soan. Tori’s current touring drummer.
OMG, omg. So, I have been a huge fan of Tori Amos since the 2000s. She got me out of listening exclusively to heavy metal. And I just started learning drums last year. And I love, love, love the work of Matt Chamberlain. I only figured out who he was after I started learning drums and identified the Tori songs that had these great drum parts. I have not even watched this video yet and am extremely excited to see this. Precious Things is, quite literally, my #1 favorite song of all time. But the variants that have Matt C. playing drums live are the variants of this favorite song I love the best. I'm giddy in anticipation of watching this video!
Wow, Marnee, that’s so cool! I’ve mentioned before that I think of Tori as the Tony Iommi of piano! 😉😎🤟
22 August. She is 60. Woo! Hi from Grafton, Auckland.
Yo! I'm headed into Grafton in about 20 mins HAHA
I love her voice
Same reaction when I first heard that song :)
Wonderful stuff
Matt's drums on Josephine is one of my favourite
He's one of the best
Matt has always been one of my absolute faves. Such good taste in his choices. Always.
A great comment, Syncredible!
Hope you watched Michael's reaction video!
Always loved this track for various reasons, but the drums are a centerpiece. Happily surprised to see this on your channel.
Glad you enjoyed it, cjonesufc!
I’ve been a huge Tori fan for decades and I think her hand movements where she removes her arm from the piano are her way of moving to the music since she’s tethered to the piano. She does this even when she’s playing alone without the band.
This is really good - also interesting with all the rythms working with and against eachother =) Great pic! Also she's at that genius on the point to crazy level.
Glad you liked it, Andreas!
Little Earthquakes is truly a 90’s essential album (It’s one of the absolute best debut albums ever…. For the time it was so far out there and ahead of the time (Tori Amos has such a strong fan base for always being herself a true visionary in everything she does) her back catalog is epic and always evolves i highly suggest her first (3) Albums it’s the perfect Trilogy of living breathing art with so much substance within it
Have written almost the same myself elsewhere ! Little Earthquakes as you so rightly say is definitely one of the best if not the best debut albums ever
Check out Playboy Mommy (From The Choirgirl Hotel studio version) and A Sorta Fairytale (you can find a live version from 2002 on CZcams ) if you want to hear Matt laying it down. Also, Manu Katche plays on the studio version of Cornflake Girl and it's worth checking out if you don't know Tori's body of work.
I really enjoyed this vid. So nice to watch this along with you, Tori never disapoints
Mesmerizing
It would be nice if you gave Tori more credit. She chose good dudes, but she is one of the most phenomenal musicians of the era and she is fearless.
This came across my feed because I listen to tori so much. Love the appreciation of this performance. ❤
Found her in the 90's. I worked with her brother Mike
i love Tori Amos. it's my all time favorite musician. i dont have that many CD's etc stil i have about half a meter shelf pace for here stuff ;) and the moste sick thing is that she is dyslexic. and se can nether read or write notes.
Oh wow. Thanks for the info
You should watch this entire concert because it is interspersed with an interview by David Burne from The Talking Heads and Tori explains how she finally decided to let a drummer in on her music because up to that point it was she herself creating beats through her piano.
What a musician to bring into her world! Matt is one of the best
matt chamberlain indeed. they worked SO WELL together
Also look for this same song, Precious Things, in Boston 2009. Best performance of the song I’ve ever seen. And I was there! I hope the video is still on CZcams I know the owner took it down in the past. The performance was the very last song on Tori’s 2009 tour and she had to catch a plane back to England! She blew the roof off the place. It was absolutely incredible!

Love your videos, mate. Tori was my first ever live gig back jn 1992 when I was 13. I was a nirvana obsessive at the time. Have gone through millions of genres since then from metal to country. Tori has been a constant. Maynard has done backing vocals for her. Enough said.
Yeah, Muhammed my Friend on Pele is masterful.
I love listening to ppl who really know a lot about music talk about how great Tori Amos is. I don’t know a lot about the finer points of music, I just like what I like and I can’t always vocalize why. Then I hear someone like you pointing out why certain things are significant or maybe pointing to a sound ive heard a million times and making me HEAR it from a different perspective, from an musician’s objective of KNOWING how to make music, it just makes me appreciate her that much more. I know she’s freaking amazing, but to hear exactly why, professionally and skill-wise, brings it to a whole new level.
This is a damn good song and Tori is amazing. I just can’t say that enough. She doesn’t get enough attention for the work she’s done.
This was already one of the best songs that would be written by anyone in the 99'sbefore she reimagined it with The Boys.
I had seen her a couple times with just her piano before this and seeing her tour live with the whole band blew me away.
Hi, I just found out Matt is the current drummer in Ghost. He's played on the latest Genesis cover "Jesus he knows me"
Cool! Ghost is a great band!
Better late than never. Now bow to the Goddess
Tori is beautiful and absolutely picked up where Kate Bush left off. Tori’s first 3 albums are so good.
Saw her live at the Sydney Opera House… amazing 🤩
Her cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Winter are great songs too
Had the pleasure of those two back to back at the Royal Albert Hall. Blown away.
Touched by an angelic street urchin
That´s funny. Just yesterday I tried to remember his name, only knew Matt and that I allways confuse his name with Matt Cameron. Luckily I remembered Chamberlain´s name after a few minutes. Saw him with Tori about 20 years ago and was stunned, cause he seemed so relaxed while playing, think he even wore a suit. He is also great with Fiona Apple. (what a deep groove on "Limp" for example) Very tastefull drumming.
Matt Chamberlain also toured with Pearl Jam when they first started out, it was very brief though.
Matt Chamberlain drummed on Fiona Apple albums Tidal and When the Pawn..., and he is a drumming genius.
Tori made a lot of hand gestures.. while something may have been a signal, very few are. I think they could lieten and hear the way she was conducting. When she got into a song, especially the angstier ones, she did her hands aa a release of energy. I have seen her enough times to know this with certainty.
I want those 3 to redo all of toris albums...now
The concert this is taken from turns 25 years old in just over a week (14 November 1998). Worth rewatching the whole thing (the "The Waitress" cut is another high point): czcams.com/video/9qOjGLRgl2o/video.html
She is so amazing. I got into her by accident when I was 14. It’s an amazing trip discovering her music.
Yup so good!
Bass player Jon Evans and He is an amazing bassist/musician multi instrumentalist!
Tori with this rhythm section will bring you to your knees!
Sensual...
Still Orbiting 💕

This is an *incredible* version of an incredible song. I just feel steamrolled after listening to it.
