I got into sarah in 1997, as a teenager. I got into Tori in 2002, at the age of 19. So I've been a Tori fan for at least 10 years.

Never seen her live, though.

I think her best work was from 1988(Y Kant Tori Read) to 1999 (Strange Little Girls), and everything in between. After that, she started throwing ALL of her weak songs, or songs that should have been b-sides, onto her albums, and I think her albums suffered as a result.

Although I do like American Doll Posse quite a lot. It reminds me of her earlier stuff. Scarlet's Walk, The Beekeeper, and Attracted To Sin are albums that are 75% brilliant tracks, and 25% extremely weak/filler tracks that shouldn't have made the album. Scarlet's Walk, in particular, is weak.

My favorite album from her is From The Choirgirl Hotel.

I am shocked to see someone say that Scarlet's Walk is WEAK. Wow. It's definitely my favorite album.

Well, it's all relative. Like I said, I like the four most recent albums, but I don't think they're as good as the earlier material.

Scarlet's Walk is a good album, and has a lot of my favorite Tori songs. It's just not my favorite.

I just spent most of my day yesterday watching a bunch of tori videos on youtube. (I'm on break and have lots of time on my hands) I stumbled across the videos from her performance at a RAINN benefit in 97. It was spectacular. Particularly her performance of me and a gun... It literally gave me chills. If you haven't seen it yet, i highly recommend you check it out. It just reminded me what an amazing and emotional woman she is.

I have the VHS of that show. I watched it the other day since I have no life and I'm on break as well. I love it.

I have a digital copy of that show, as well (it's amazing what you can find on the internet!) It's a great concert.

I found my copy in a used books store. I also found the Little Earthquakes VHS. They're both great. I wish the PPV show from '99 would be released.

Wow...lucky!

I downloaded both from the internet, they were in iPod format. It's kinda cool, cause I can watch them on my iPod anywhere. I also ripped them to DVD and put them on the shelf next to my Tori DVDs.

Some torrent. I forget where I found it, but I google searched and it came up.

I now have it on wmv and burned both to DVD, as well. If you want, I can send you the WMV files, so you can burn them as well. I'll just put them on sendspace, or something. :)
