From the Choirgirl Arena
(from the August/September 1998 Link magazine issue)



We caught Tori Amos a few years back at New York City�s Beacon Theater, and she shook us all night long�right down to our spiritual and s__ual foundations�like, we imagined, Prince used to do when he was Prince. Now touring behind her latest, From the Choirgirl Hotel, the Cornflake Girl faces the daunting task of connecting on a personal level in impersonal arenas.

Amos asknowledges that she�s not playing "somebody�s living room" anymore. And while she is performing a few acoustic numbers for intimacy�s sake, the shows are, for the most part, "a buckle-your-seat-belt kind of thing."

"It�s a girl on her piano that found some boys who she digs, and the wine is good," she says cryptically. Translation: You�ve gotta see the show because Amos has got a brand new band, which beats a solo, harpsichord-humping babe any day.

Check out Tori and her boys at these venues:
