EAGLE TO RELEASE TORI AMOS LIVE AT MONTREUX 1991/1992

~September 30~

Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Gets Duel CD/DVD Release

New York, NY (August 26, 2008)—Tori Amos splashed on the scene in the early ‘90s brimming with newfound creativity, intelligence, sensitivity and an exacting literary bearing. Fawned over by critics and the public alike, that first spotlight was a heady time in the young singer/songwriter’s career. On September 30, 2008, Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its wholly-owned Eagle Eye Media subsidiary, will release Tori Amos Live At Montreux 1991/1992 on both CD (16 songs) and DVD (90 minutes, 19 songs) simultaneously sold separately [pre-book date September 10, DVD Retail Sales Price $14.98, CD Retail Sales price $13.98]. It is a rare glimpse into that initial breathy rush of a great artist’s ascendency.

The ’91 gig came only months before her Little Earthquakes debut had catapulted her into an instant icon, the ’92 appearance shortly thereafter. The progression in both performance and audience receptivity is appreciable. Material includes most of the stellar debut but also tracks from her indie EPs and some curious covers (Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and “Thank You” as well as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”).

Tori was born Myra Ellen Amos in 1963. Her stark confessional style owes a hint of a debt to Joni Mitchell. Tori, though, updated Joni’s obliquely personal oeuvre by digging down deep into such dramatic lyrical topics as sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. It touched a universal chord and a star was born.
