Happy Birthday Messages to Tori by The Sideway Society

63 Live Moments That Shaped a Legacy celebrates Tori Amos’ extraordinary 35-year career as a live artist. In honor of Tori’s 63rd birthday, we’re stepping back from our Live Stats Calendar deep dive to highlight some of the most memorable, surprising, beautiful, unexpected, and unforgettable moments from her thousands of performances around the world. Choosing just 63 moments proved impossible, so instead, we’re bringing you as many as we could, celebrating the good, the better, and the very best of Tori Amos live.

It’s In Times of Dragons Release Week, and the wait is over! Instead of trying to fit everything into a single response episode, we approached this as a three-part series. Earlier this week you heard from Efrain, David, and other voices in the queer community - and now it's time to hear from a different group of voices whom we specifically wanted in conversation with this incredible new record. In Part Three, we hear from Laura Crum, Grace Wallace, Tanya Rigotti, Krissy Mathews and Holly the Chimer Inner. They lead us through dragon lairs and mythological highways and byways, all in service to giving us a deeper understanding of the record, the world, and Tori's place in it. The beginning of an album cycle is always an exciting time, and bringing voices from the community into the conversation is our way of sharing in that excitement.

It’s In Times of Dragons Release Day, and the wait is over! Instead of trying to fit everything into a single response episode, we approached this as a three-part series. All week long you've heard from us - Efrain and David - and now it's time to hear from other members of the Tori community, a group of voices we specifically wanted in conversation with this incredible new record. In Part Two, some familiar voices gather together for a track by track commentary exploring the music, the narrative, the lyrics and the underlying meaning. We follow the themes as they begin to emerge, and start to unpack what it might mean to get older in these times of dragons. The beginning of an album cycle is always an exciting time, and bringing voices from the community into the conversation is our way of sharing in that excitement.

Join Efrain and David for the fourth annual Drive All Night Holiday Sparktacular! A celebration of the holidays wrapped in a deep exploration of the fourth track off of Tori's first seasonal record, Midwinter Graces. In an effort not to have anything go wrong this year, Efrain decides to host a run-through rehearsal the night before the big show. But will being in a secluded Victorian farmhouse prove to be the duo's undoing? Will they make it out alive, or will there be a massacre of the innocents? Includes a new song by Amiss Tori as well as a fireside chat with Candle: Coventry Carol super fan Erika Wilder. One thing's for certain though, these two really do slay! Lully Lullay!

Efrain and David shed their skins and ride the serpent's tail to the very edge of the freeway, where no traffic police dare to slither. Upside down and back to front, these two leave no snake uncoiled as they explore the hiss-tori of this Lloyd Cole cover that quite possibly could masquerade as a Tori original. On they way they visit with esteemed radio personality and Lloyd Cole super fan Ken Sumka, as well as Rattlesnakes super fans Shea Stimac and David Mramor. As always, go deep inside this Strange Little Girl’s lore through the mind of Macy Rodman, the art of Reggie Doherty and the original accompanying story from 2001. You’ll also get a unique song chart reading from our Resident Witch Amy K as well as an exclusive chance to win your own copy of Diving Deep Live on vinyl!! This episode also comes stuffed with a complete study of the live evolution of the song in our A-M-O-S Live Lounge™️. Last but not least, enjoy a brand new Rattlesnakes remix by the legendary Joshua Speedbliss. She says all she needs is therapy?? All you need is pod is all you need!! Hee.
