Later, on Monday, January 31, 2000, the Dutch radio show Isabelle broadcast the other 2 songs from the performance, which are, I think, 'Purple People' and 'Lust'.

On July 18, 2000, 3FM played all 6 songs from the Hilversum show, as well as Bliss from a performance Tori did on Studio Brussels on November 3, 1999. (See below.)

I just wanted to inform you, in case no-one else has yet, that a radio-station in Paris, France, just had a kind of "Tori-week". The radio's name is France Inter. They probably only gave her about 15 minutes a day or so, and unfortunately I only stumbled onto it at the end of the week. I heard Tori playing the end of 1000 oceans, and then there was a short interview (apparently this was live). The interviewer asked what the song was about, and Tori repeated the story about being woken up early in the morning by an ancient African woman's voice. She added that this woman had a love that was something like "the Earth's love for us", and that she had started falling in love with her then. She was then asked about her plans for the future - "dormir", she answered : to sleep, because " I haven't stopped in a few years". The show concluded on the announcement that she would be giving a concert in Paris sometime in March.

This is all I had time to hear, but a friend of mine reported that the host had commented earlier on how impressed everyone in the studio had been when, arriving early for her performance on the station, she had spent half an hour fiddling with the piano, listening to it, and tuning it herself, instead of breezing through.

Etienne Raynaud emailed me with additional information about Tori's appearances on radio France Inter:

Tori performed in 2 shows on radio France Inter. The first was 'Rien A Voir' which usually hosts not very interesting artists - well, this was the exception to the rule. She performed 3 songs : '1,000 Oceans', 'Concertina' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' (piano version).

The other program was more of an interview : they aired 'Bliss' (studio) and a bit of 'Crucify' (like, the only hit she has here). They also aired a live version of '1,000 Oceans' which was recorded a few days earlier and that is part of a "White Session" (another program on the same radio - the entire show was supposed to be aired later but I got no news from it - I hope I haven't missed it).

In the interview, she told the story of how she wrote '1,000 Oceans', answered a few boring questions and said she'd probably be performing live in March (which, from your news, seems not so scheduled after all) in Paris.

On Friday, November 5, 1999, Tori appeared on the Dutch TV Show "Laat de Leeuw". There was no interview, but she performed "Bliss" solo at the piano.

On November 3, 1999, Tori did a promotional performance for Studio Brussels, an alternative radio station in Belgium. She performed in front of a small group of people and also did an interview. Thanks to Toriphile Jill Verbaendert, I now have a complete transcript of Tori's interview, as well as the full set list she did during the performance. (The radio station only aired 4 of the 7 songs she performed.) Read the transcript and additional details in my TV/Radio Archive.
