The crowd erupted at its conclusion.Īfter Amos’ three-song solo set, Chamberlain and Evans returned and the singer brought a heavier sound to the show’s second half. Then she spoke about her brother, who died in a car accident in 2004: “I wouldn’t be here without him, because he’s the one who snuck in all those records behind daddy’s back.” In that context, her solo cover of the Stevie Nicks classic “Landslide” was devastating.

The stage’s diaphanous, star-speckled backdrop added yet another layer of texture and color. It was a superhero’s getup, and as Amos straddled her piano bench, left hand working her baby grand piano, right hand coaxing loops and ambient effects from a bank of synthesizers, she showed both the resolve and vulnerability of a star completely at ease with the weight of her role. Indeed, the willowy Amos was wrapped in a form-fitting, floor-length dress of radiant green, her hair like a copper-colored curtain down her back beneath she wore gold lamé stretch pants and matching thigh-high boots. “It’s time for a new adventure starting here, in one of my favorite places,” she said after a potent rendition of “Caught a Lite Sneeze.” “I decided to wear emerald green for the Emerald City.”
Seattle’s cavernous, 3300-capacity WaMu Amphitheater was less than half full for Tori Amos’ woefully under-publicized Sinful Attraction tour opener Friday night - Amos’ name was even left off the marquee outside - but she regaled an attentive crowd with a 20-plus-song setlist that found her transforming old favorites and unleashing the gospel-laced force of her recently-released 10th album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin.
