Happy Birthday Messages to Tori by The Sideway Society

63 Live Moments That Shaped a Legacy celebrates Tori Amos’ extraordinary 35-year career as a live artist. In honor of Tori’s 63rd birthday, we’re stepping back from our Live Stats Calendar deep dive to highlight some of the most memorable, surprising, beautiful, unexpected, and unforgettable moments from her thousands of performances around the world. Choosing just 63 moments proved impossible, so instead, we’re bringing you as many as we could, celebrating the good, the better, and the very best of Tori Amos live.

Efrain, David and Chrissy are back with two new players to keep drafting their way to the Dark Side of the Sun. Joining them are guests Sakre (@sakrern) and Valerie (@valerina_82) for Round Four of our multi-round game, and the last round before In Times of Dragons songs enter the mix. Sure to be as cut throat as the last round, tune in for all the steals and deals as we strike down categories and debate rules. Plus you'll find out who from Round Three was crowned the winner and will be joining us in our Tournament of Champions.

It’s In Times of Dragons Release Week, and the wait is over! Instead of trying to fit everything into a single response episode, we approached this as a three-part series. Earlier this week you heard from Efrain, David, and other voices in the queer community - and now it's time to hear from a different group of voices whom we specifically wanted in conversation with this incredible new record. In Part Three, we hear from Laura Crum, Grace Wallace, Tanya Rigotti, Krissy Mathews and Holly the Chimer Inner. They lead us through dragon lairs and mythological highways and byways, all in service to giving us a deeper understanding of the record, the world, and Tori's place in it. The beginning of an album cycle is always an exciting time, and bringing voices from the community into the conversation is our way of sharing in that excitement.

It’s In Times of Dragons Release Day, and the wait is over! Instead of trying to fit everything into a single response episode, we approached this as a three-part series. All week long you've heard from us - Efrain and David - and now it's time to hear from other members of the Tori community, a group of voices we specifically wanted in conversation with this incredible new record. In Part Two, some familiar voices gather together for a track by track commentary exploring the music, the narrative, the lyrics and the underlying meaning. We follow the themes as they begin to emerge, and start to unpack what it might mean to get older in these times of dragons. The beginning of an album cycle is always an exciting time, and bringing voices from the community into the conversation is our way of sharing in that excitement.
