Info for Diving Deep Live

Tori Amos has long been renowned for never playing the same show twice. Now, these unique live performances are captured in a new live album entitled Diving Deep recorded across Tori's 2022-2023 Ocean to Ocean tour, which spanned 93 dates around the globe. The album features beloved tracks from Amos's iconic back catalog, including hits such as "Cornflake Girl."

Says Amos of the recordings: “After having already moved the entire tour twice due to the Pandemic, I was eventually able to start rehearsing with the band, which for this tour consisted of my musical friend of a million years, MD and bassist Jon Evans, and, for the first time, renowned drummer and percussionist Ash Soan. By the time we set off, Europe had still not fully opened up so we played the UK and Ireland and headed to the States. By the time we finished in late summer 2023 we couldn’t believe how quickly time had passed and how much fun we’d had. Playing with these two beings was one of the greatest experiences I have had on stage. To be able to sit back and jam with the guys was so very special and I truly hope anyone listening will find themselves getting lost in the moment just like we did.”

Diving Deep Live features tracks from across Amos’ catalog, including hits like “Silent All These Years,” which appeared on her 1992 debut Little Earthquakes, and “God” from 1994’s Under the Pink. The album also includes renditions of songs off albums like 1998’s From the Choirgirl Hotel (“Pandora’s Aquarium”), 2007’s American Doll Posse (“Code Red”), and 2017’s Native Invader (“Climb”). Four bonus songs are available on the Diving Deeper version: “Here in My Head,” “Crazy,” “Sister Janet” and “Mother Revolution.” These live performances also feature Musical Director and bassist Jon Evans and drummer and percussionist Ash Soan.

Tori Amos
Tori Amos has an extraordinary fan base. It’s not unusual to hear her listeners explain how a song changed their life, through its ability to alter perspective and heal. Or even that a song might have saved their life. Since the release of her debut Little Earthquakes 20 years ago in 1992, where she smashed apart boundaries with her piano rock and raw, confessional poetry, Amos continues to be adored, picking up new fans along the way, romanced by her messages of empowerment, tenderness, acerbic assertiveness, and that utterly unique sound.

Even before her commercial breakthrough at 28, the enigmatic sides of her personality were being realised: years of classical training at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, singing in clubs and bars from the age of 13 and, then, fronting synthpop band Y Kant Tori Read. A taste for pushing limitations and stretching her talent and imagination had already been planted.

Although her signature remains swelling, filigreed piano rock, she has experimented with different musical styles and instruments over the last twenty years, from the baroque dusk of Boys for Pele (1996), the electronic experimentalism of From the Choirgirl Hotel (1998) and To Venus and Back (1999) to her return to the classical world with the classically inspired song cycle Night of Hunters (2011). She managed to achieve the rarely possible with a successful concept album (American Doll Posse, 2007) and an acclaimed Christmas record (Midwinter Graces, 2009) while retaining her artistic integrity. Gold Dust is her 13th studio album, a varied selection of works from her songbook all newly arranged for vocals, piano and orchestra, recorded with the Metropole Orchestra for Deutsche Grammophon/Mercury Classics.

Amos, never one to shy away from the reality of life in her lyrics, has tackled the breadth of life's subjects over the last two decades. Although her writing is confessional and she has famously put her own experiences, both positive and harrowing, into song, the way she does it leaves the door open for the listener to join in.

Each of the 12 albums Amos has released so far have been layered with symbols, history and dimensions, that make them stand out as true works of art. The Beekeeper (2005) circles around topics of death, loss and adultery; Scarlet's Walk (2002) maps and re-calibrates the American psyche after 9/11 seen through a prism of the writer's Cherokee roots; Abnormally Attracted to Sin (2009) is accompanied by a set of short films, each a visualisation of one of the albums songs, whilst Boys for Pele, her first self-produced album, is a virile feminist totem through which she binned the patriarchy and snatched back her independence.

In interviews Amos has spoken of the way she sees herself as a vehicle for a higher musical power or muse. Perhaps it is this unusual humility that has kept her creative force safe for twenty years.

This album contains no booklet.
