Tori was interviewed for RT’s Prime Time Russia program and they’ve kindly posted the chat on YouTube:

Tonight, Tori performed her first ever concert in Russia at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall. Before an enthusiastic audience who welcomed her with open arms, she played a set that spanned her career though, understandably, there was an emphasis on the first two albums. Still, several newer songs found their way into the set as well. Highlights included “Little Earthquakes” opening the concert, “Dragon,” “Mother Revolution,” “Indian Summer” and, during the first of two encores, “Yes, Anastasia.” Check out the full setlist which has been posted in the Tour section.

The entire concert was broadcast live by the Russian radio station Silver Rain and it is currently archived on Moskva FM. Mouse the slider over to 20:38 (8:38 PM), ht the play button and you’ll be able to judge the audience’s enthusiasm for yourself!

As always, if you were there and would like to post a review of the concert, please do so using the form at the bottom of the Moscow page. Photos and video clips are lovely too!

Update #3: Silver Rain’s streams are back up and running!

Update #2: Nope, looks like there is a problem with the Silver Rain streams, as @therealtoriamos just tweeted. Alternatively, the Moskva.fm stream is up and working.

Update: It seems the station’s streams have been taken offline, presumably for the duration of the concert. We’re assuming it’s still being broadcast over the air on though. Sorry for this unexpected twist as we know many, including us, were looking forward to listening to the show from afar…. Also, we won’t be able to live update the show (assuming we can locate someone who is txting or tweeting the setlist) but will have the setlist and reviews posted on the site later today.

The latest tweet from Russian radio station Silver Rain included a dim photograph of Tori in their studios yesterday and the text, when Babelfished, goes a little something like this:

Tori Of amos in the ether studio SD. But tomorrow listen to the exclusive straight translation of its concert from crocus of City in the 20:00

So, it looks like the concert broadcast today is a go!

The handy, dandy website timeanddate.com will tell you when 8:00 PM Moscow time is in your neck of the woods. In some popular time zones, the broadcast will air at 1:00 AM in Tokyo, 6:00 PM in Central Europe, 5:00 PM in the UK, Noon in the Eastern time zone of North America and 9:00 AM out in the west.

Stream the station at http://silver.ru/radio.

Additionally, Olga points out that the station’s broadcasts are archived at Moskva FM. So, you can listen to yesterday’s interview at any time by going to Silver Rain’s September 2nd page, moving the slider to 14:00 and hitting the play button. Nifty!

Just a quick reminder that Tori will be appearing on Russian radio station Silver Rain today at 2:00 PM Moscow time (just a little bit after I’m writing this). They now have this prominently shown on their home page so it’s a go! If you’re not within their broadcast range, you can listen online to their stream.

Artur Pivovarov let us know that the radio station Silver Rain has announced on-air that they will be broadcasting the convert live! So far, while there doesn’t appear to be anything about this on their website at this time, we’ve heard the announcements so it looks like it’s going to happening. It’s not clear whether or not the complete performance will be aired but whatever is will be on between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM Moscow time.

Additionally, Tori will also be making an interview appearance on Silver Rain the day before the concert, Thursday, September 2nd at 2:00 PM Moscow time.

For those in Russia, you can tune in Silver Rain at 100,1 FM in Moscow and a number of other frequencies in other cities.

Outside of Russia? Don’t fret! They have a live stream at both low and high bitrates. The top two links there are for their embedded player while the bottom two will launch your external mp3/media player.

On a related note, Tori’s first live performance in Russia has caused a few ripples in the Russian press, such as this preview in Russia Prime Time pointed out by Stoff. While none of the pieces are terribly revealing, it’s good to see some promo for the concert. And it’s not just limited to the press as this little television commercial for the concert show:

Thanks to our friends at toribr for bringing it to our attention!

While we here at Undented are at the tail-end of the international day (it’s Monday in Australia, yo!), our birthday wishes for Tori are no less heart-felt. Here’s hoping for a lovely, relaxing birthday for her — and for many more!

After the unexpected death of her father, Samantha Hale embarked on a journey following Imogen Heap around on tour, much in the same way that many of us do with Tori Amos, albeit for a different reason. Music was her path to healing; as she says, “Music has been my therapy ever since. And going to a live show was my group therapy.”

While out on the road following Imogen and other artists, she started documenting her fellow travelers and how live music matters so much to so many people. The result is Map the Music, a documentary film that “explores the power and importance of music.” Tori and we Toriphiles are featured in the film, as well as other artists including Imogen Heap, Rachael Yamagata, Cary Brothers, Kate Havnevik, Joshua Radin, Jim Bianco, Zoe Keating, Charlotte Martin and, of course, their fans too.

Check out the trailer below and, if you’re interested in picking up a copy, it can be pre-ordered from Insound. It’s currently slated for a September 7th release.

While Tori was in Finland recently, she sat down and chatted with the Finnish radio station Ylex about performing in Finland, her work and other current projects. During the interview, she indicated that The Light Princess musical is currently expected to be shown in 2012 (and, as a result, that she probably will not tour again until after that), talked at length about the upcoming performance with The Metropole Orchestra in Amsterdam and mentioned a secret project that she has been approached about. While she didn’t provide many details about this project, she did say that it didn’t fit into the standard pop mold and that was one of the reasons why she found it an intriguing possibility.

You can listen to the interview on YleX’s website.

Thanks to the fine folks at toribr for alerting us to it!

Update: YleX also reported on Tori’s performance at the Festival and, even if you don’t understand Finnish, the photo gallery there is worth the visit!

Update: Thanks to SweetOnes from the yessaid forum, here is a transcription of the interview. Jump the fold to check it out!

Our apologies for the belated coverage of the final show of this little summer jaunt that Tori took through Europe. The last show took place on Friday at the Pori Jazz Festival in Pori, Finland, bookending the tour nicely as it started at another jazz festival in Montreux. Tori played a short outdoor set which included “Girl,” “Space Dog” and “Personal Jesus/Body and Soul.” The full set, thanks to the lovely @NicotineLove who updated it live on Twitter, can be found, along with YouTube video of the entire show and quite a few photos from the performance, in the Tour section.

Tori has two more concerts lined up this year: her first trip to Russia with a performance in Moscow on September 3rd and a special show with the Metropole Orchestra in Amsterdam on October 8th. While we won’t be attending either we’re looking forward to see what Tori has in store for both shows and reporting on what happens for y’all!

Just a short note to say that neither Violet nor I will be able to doing any site updates over the next couple days. As a result, we’ll be getting the Pori Jazz Festival show setlist will probably be posted on Sunday. If you need a fix, keep an eye on the #toriamos hashtag on Twitter or follow along on one of the freak-out threads on the big Tori Amos forums (Unforumzed, Yessaid and The Afterglow.

Update: @NicotineLove is updating today’s setlist on Twitter — check it out there!

While we were briefly uncertain of the order of the songs Tori played tonight at the lovely outdoor stage at Openluchttheater Caprera in Bloemendaal, we were sure it was a cracking performance as more than a few people in attendance called it the best show so far this summer— and not just because she opened with “Flying Dutchman” and included “Caught A Lite Sneeze.” “Honey.” “Crazy,” “Carbon,” “Spark” and “Spring Haze.” Of course, there is still one more concert this month and the Moscow and Metropole Orchestra performance later this Fall, so there is still time to out-do tonight…

Thanks to @arjanwelles for sending in the songs included in the set and to the fine folks at Everything Tori for clarifying the order in which they were played Check out the set on the Bloemendaal page and, as always, reviews from those who were there are most welcome!

At L’Olympia tonight in Paris, Tori turned the tables from the start, opening the performance with “Curtain Call,” and then proceeded to stroll through a full-bodied set featuring “Mrs. Jesus,” “Twinkle,” “Snow Cherries From France,” “Another Girl’s Paradise” and a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne.” A two-songs encore included “Crucify” and the “Personal Jesus”/“Body and Soul” combination. The full set, thanks to our fine friends at toriamos.fr who updated the setlist on Twitter, has been posted in the Tour section.

Y’all know the routine now: if you would like to send in a review of the concert, please use the comment form at the bottom of that page and we are more than happy to host your photos or embed your videos of the performance.

In the latest — and hopefully final — chapter of the Barnes & Noble exclusive pre-order for the Tori Amos – Live From the Artists Den DVD, several people (including myself) have received 30 day extension approval requests from B&N. In the note, they apologize for being unable to fulfill the pre-order and explains that unless ones approves the extension within 24 hours, the order will be canceled.

This is all very mysterious as several others canceled their pre-orders, reordered the DVD and have already gotten shipment notices!

However, a quick call to their customer service number shed some light on the mystery: turns out that the pre-orders are shipped from one location where they do not have the DVD in stock. Meanwhile, new orders were being shipped from another location where the item is. Why they couldn’t just automatically change the source location for the pre-orders, the world may never know…but it does mean that those who are still hanging on to your pre-orders, you might as well re-order (or pick up a copy at a store) and, once you get a shipment notice, go ahead and cancel the pre-order.

Tori’s performance at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London is complete and, in keeping with the shows so far this summer, delivered several surprises to those in attendance. Beneath the dragon flying out over the stage of the musical “Wicked,” she performed “Yes, Anastasia” for the second time this tour but eclipsed that with the debuts of “Marianne,” “Garlands” and “Me And A Gun,” which earned her a mid-set standing ovation. The set also featured “Northern Lad,” “Space Dog” and, opening the encore, a cover of The Eagles’ “Desperado.”

The full setlist, thanks to the Twitter-y efforts of @LeoSalvia, has been posted in the Tour section.

As always, if you were there, we’d love you to share your impression of the concert — post a review using the comment form on that page.

After weather threatened tonight show at Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens all day, the rain held off and Tori delivered another fine performance on Ireland’s stop on this little summer jaunt through Europe. Tonight saw the debuts of “Spark,” “Ophelia” (which, Tori said at the meet and greet before the show, was birthed in Ireland), “Fire To Your Plain,” “Taxi Ride,” “Mother,” “Beauty Queen” and “Horses.” In addition, the “Personal Jesus”/“Body and Soul” diptych reappeared as well as a couple other covers. The full setlist, thanks to the tweets of @lenoreva and @misterebby, has been posted on the Dublin page in the Tour section.

Despite our hope that the shipment delay notices we reported on earlier this week did not foreshadow problems with the Tori Amos: Live From the Artists Den DVD pre-order, it sadly seems that this has not turned out to be the case.

Many people have let us know they received order cancellation notices from Barnes & Noble today saying that they will be unable to fulfill the pre-order. Mind you, not everyone has gotten these notices and, in fact, a few have either received their pre-order or at least have gotten a shipment notice since the delay notice. (For those keeping score at home, I’ve yet to receive either a shipment or cancellation notice since the delay e-mail earlier this week.)

Meanwhile, many Barnes & Noble stores continue to have the title in stock (and more than a few people who got the delay notice have canceled their pre-orders and picked the DVD up at the store) so it appears to be a case of Barnes & Noble taking more pre-orders than they could deliver on.

Update: The DVD can still be ordered online from Barnes & Noble and at least one person has reported getting a shipment notice already! Stranger and stranger…

If we get any information about this from either Barnes & Noble or The Artists Den about this situation, we’ll pass the details along.

Thanks to the many of you who got in touch with us about this matter!

Tonight’s performance at the Live at Sunset festival in Zürich is in the books and, after an exciting soundcheck laden with foreshadow, we can add several new songs to the Tori’s repertoire on this summer mini-tour: “Little Earthquakes.” “Wednesday.” “Black Dove (January),” “Ribbons Undone,” “Curtain Call,” “Carbon” and “Bliss.” She also covered of Leonard Cohen’s “Famous Blue Raincoat,” a song she’s played often in the past. The complete setlist has been posted in the Tour section, with thanks to @lenoreva who posted the performance live on Twitter.

As always, reviews and multimedia from the performance are always welcome. Leave a comment or drop us a line if you want to share your opinion, photos or videos from the concert!

Several people — including myself — have received notices from Barnes & Noble that shipment of their Tori Amos – Live from the Artists Den DVD pre-orders has been delayed. Pre-orders are expected to be 1-5 days late, so it’s not too long of a delay. And, as we’ve heard from more than a few folks who have been purchased the DVD in Barnes & Noble stores, we know copies of the DVD are out there and hope the shipping delay will be minimal and is not indicative of a bigger problem.

In any case, unfortunate as that may be, the actual episode of the program will be airing on PBS stations this week so if you are one of the unlucky folks in the this boat, you should at least be able to watch the show before too long!

Tori performed at Villa Arconati in Milano, Italy tonight. Although she repeated a few songs that had been played at the few other shows so far this summer, she broke out a whole new set of tunes including “Siren,” “Doughnut Song” “Caught A Lite Sneeze,” “Northern Lad,” “Gold Dust,” “Yes, Anastasia” and the occasionally performed cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire.” Additionally, the “Body and Soul”/“Personal Jesus” mash-up from two days ago in Brugge made a repeat appearance in tonight’s encore.

The full setlist, with thanks to @ta_ru for updating us on Twitter, has been posted on the Milano page in the Tour section. We’d love to hear from those who were in attendance about tonight’s performance! If you were there and are inclined to share, please post a review using the comment form there.
