EP called "iTunes Sessions" exists for Tori at the U.K. and German iTunes music store
Mike Gray, Chris and Oskaline were the first to tell me that the iTunes Music Store for the U.K. and Germany includes an EP called "iTunes Sessions" by Tori Amos. The EP features solo piano versions of Sleeps With Butterflies, The Power Of Orange Knickers, Seaside and Crazy. These are piano versions of the songs. I don't think they are live performances because there is no audience noise. If you have access to the U.K. itunes music store and have iTunes installed, you should be able to get to this EP by clicking here. Keep in mind iTunes will not let you purchase the music unless you live in that country, and you must have a valid billing address in that country to purchase music. (I have also gotten reports that this item is no longer available, but I am not sure how widespread that experience is.)

Worldcafe.org simply says that "Tori Amos is coming back to the World Cafe". We will see. More tickets released for the Sydney, Australia shows
I have been informed by a reliable source that more tickets have been released for the Sydney shows in Australia. I have no idea how many or how long it will last, but I wanted to pass this along.

Thanks to Trevor (orfeo) for this information. The website for Michael Coppel Presents (the promoter for the Australian leg of the Original Sinsuality tour) states that Tori's support act will be Tyrone Noonan. He's one of the two singers for the Australian band george. Tyrone plays both keyboards and guitars, so I'm not sure which he might do for the show.

I earlier reported about a comment from Matt Camberlain at his web site telling people that he would not be touring with Tori this year. Tori has now been telling people at various meet and greets that her tour when she returns to the U.S. will in fact be solo. Therefore there are NO plans for Tori to tour with a band this year. We have no specific dates for her next round of U.S concert dates, but we do expect it to begin in August 2005 and continue at least through September... The Ears With Feet Photo Album has been updated with photos from the Original Sinsuality Tour!
You will find that the Dent's Ears With Feet Photo Album is once again being updated with photos from the current Original Sinsuality tour. I must give all the credit to Missy King, who has kindly volunteered to update this section of my web site again. She is doing a wonderful job an I simply can not thank her enough! I am still looking for more photos, but there are some strict limitations. I am only accepting photos from the current tour and there is a limit of 2-3 photos per person per meet and greet. If a city already has a nice selection of photos, then I will likely not accept any additional ones unless they are very high quality. Thanks again to Missy for making this possible!
