On the first disc (the only disc, if you don't have the limited edition), click in the middle of the tree graphic on the main screen.
OK, I'll look some more
That page I remember reading, and it is where I saw the story about what the FTE title refers to, also. Is this the only reference you have seen about it? I remember asking you about it before and you didn't seem to be familiar with it.
So while we're on this archival stuff, I ran across this last night while looking around for various things. It appears to be from 1994. Do you know anything about really-deep-thoughts, the Tori Amos list mentioned? I see he lists the originally proposed tour schedule for that year, among other things.

This was run by David Dalton, apparently. Here's a good one I found on this page:
"Practice random kindness and senseless acts of sarcasm" Cool!
So check out this review of a show he saw from 1995:
"OK, now, on to what you've been waiting for. Sarah's set
was great, rocking from the start since the 20 minute sets
give no time for the usual acoustic foreplay, it was like
a relaxed jam-ish set in front of the hometown crowd, replete
with the usual cries, flowers, proposals. Sarah was glowing, dressed
casually but looking very much the confident woman, the embodiment of
natural health, well rested and smiling at almost every chance.
I most definitely take back the papal c remark, not that I ever
really meant it. I also take back the "only
her hairdresser knows" comment, she obviously hasn't cut that
beautiful mane of hair in a goodly enough while. It would
be scarilege to cut that down to waif length again, although
probably would take a while for one to wash. Anyway, she
moist definitely has changed for the better since I first
saw her at the Town Pump, the shy talented waif with the
pale face and mournful eyes; now she glows in audiovisual+ .
Also she had a beautiful rug spread out under her feet (I
don't | think she was barefoot though, and thus converted the
whole room, by magic carpet ride) into her living room.
[so the garbled version snip ended at the vertical bar above]
Anyway, that was just for those of you who like to talk
about her appearance. Now, during her set I put away the
notebook, and didn't write down the set list, so much of
this is from memory. She did Possession first, a
rocking version, I didn't sing along inside but just listened.
At the very beginning her voice sounded a little strange, and
I thought, oh, no, she has a cold.... no, she's hung...
but that disappeared after the first couple of words/notes,
really it was just a hook to get the audience to pay attention,
something different to make them listen, and then she hit
us with the waves of voice. Then she did Elsewhere,
Good Enough (dedicated to Earth Day, and I also dedicated
it inside as well to International Women's Day March 8),
and it sure was good enough, but I suddenly felt not good enough
(to finish my thesis?). Then she did Hold On, I made sure
to stay put for this one, never move for those thorns of
acupuncture (but dance to the piper, and wake up and smell
the roses)???????
At one point I was mildly cooked (by bass waves) in the
seat, but not as much in the hands as I have been when I'm
up close doing sound, e.g., Wingnuts' or other bass players
with good amps or something. Again my location was such that
I mustn't have been getting much sub-bass or perhaps it was
coming from above instead of below. And for Sarah, sometimes
her voice and the guitar (at one point I said to myself
"I'd like to be that guitar right now") also fry me.
So it isn't just the bass, it must be something else,
tuning or chords or whatever (chords with a hook?).
They suffered from none of the problems I mentioned with
the earlier bands. I noticed the guitar solos a little
more than last time, and the keyboards a bit less, though.
At the end, Sarah did an impromptu encore duet with
Tom Hooper of Ginger, of the musical virus
Girl From Ipanini (I forget how to spell it). It is one
of those tunes that can run through your head for hours
if you let it take hold, but you can't remember the lyrics.
"The girl from ipanini goes walking, and when she's walking,
she's ????, and then she goes to the sea" or something.
It was silly but they did a great job together, the audience
ate it up, and then the videos ushered us out."
Is this the one that has a You-Tube video of Sarah singing Girl From Ipanema?
I looked at some early versions of the SM website on the Wayback Machine, too. 1997 seems to be as far as is archived on that site. I see some of the pictures Ellen has were on her site then. None of the song clips work, though. They're in a format that is obsolete, apparently. This is going to be a growing problem in the future as formats and devices change so much.
