More great news!!
Over the years i have seen many great acts live in concert from HUGE stars like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince to excellent bands like U2, REM and Radiohead. I do have to say that one of the best acts i have ever seen does not need the huge stage set or the massive lights show, just a spotlight and a piano is all it takes for this artist to blow her fans away with her amazing songs and heartfelt passion. I first saw Tori Amos on "Later with Jools Holland" singing acapella and was transfixed. Her debut album "Little Earthquakes" came out the same year i did (1993) and was one of a few albums that year that summed up all my emotions and teenage angst.
I have followed her career closely since then and despite the cynics out there slagging her off for copying Kate Bush's career, She has consistently released great album after great album of original, beautiful songs and her live shows are nothing short of extraordinary, she rarely plays the same set list twice, changing her show to suit her mood or the city she is in.
After a short break her new album "American Doll Posse" is released on May 1st and will be closely followed by a world tour. If you want to see a truly great artist perform live i suggest you keep your eyes peeled for tickets!!
I assume this is the album cover, Girl looks fierce!

Agreed, 100%. I have most, if not all of her albums and I love them all. She is unique and comparisons with Kate Bush are unfair - it's just because they both play a piano and sometimes scream a bit.
I was lucky enough to see her in concert in Manchester in 2005. Her rendition of Oasis's "Don't look back in anger" in her piano bar was brilliant. I look forward to seeing live again. She is an outstanding performer and a very rare talent.
