| Recorded at the Buckley Recital Hall, Amherst College, MA, USA. Great audience recording. From the info file: Tori Amos - Buckley Recital Hall, Amherst College, MA 25 October 1992 CD1 1. Sugar 2. Crucify 3. Silent All These Years 4. Precious Things 5. Happy Phantom 6. Leather 7. Upside Down 8. Whole Lotta Love -> 9. Thank You CD2 1. Me And A Gun 2. Winter 3. E: Take To The Skies 4. Smells Like Teen Spirit 5. Mother 6. China 7. Song For Eric This is a fine early Tori show held in a small, sold-out recital hall. Setting the recording levels was a challenge during the first song, ôSugarö. The volume was first set too low, and was adjusted at the 30-second mark. Then around 3:00, Tori shot the meters into the red. What range on that girl! After that, a good medium recording level was set for the rest of the show. Overall, there was a polite and very enthusiastic crowd for this show. No talkers near the mike, but loud applause from the entire audience after each song. I lowered the amplitude of the audienceÆs applause after each song, which results in (I think) a great recording. Hope you enjoy it.
