Two CDs + Blu-ray edition. Recorded just one year apart, Live At Montreux 1991/1992 captures two performances by Tori Amos right at the start of her solo career, in July 1991 and 1992, at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival. These two concert recordings are the perfect vignette of her career, featuring a barely known singer-songwriter on the first performance as well as Tori Amos on the brink of her breakthrough, a few months after the release of her massively successful debut album Little Earthquakes. Live At Montreux 1991/1992 brilliantly showcases the clear progression from one year to the next as Tori Amos grew in confidence and refined her musical craftsmanship at the second concert, not to forget that she also gave a wonderful performance in 1991, showcasing her unique charm. The tracklist of this set focuses on Little Earthquakes and features all the album's hits such as "Little Earthquakes" and "Crucify", however it also features rare songs from Tori Amos' early EPs, including her distinctive takes on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and "Thank You" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
