Little Earthquakes (video)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Earthquakes was the name of a VHS video released in 1992 by singer/songwriter Tori Amos.
The video, out of print as of 2005, compiled all of her music videos released to that date with live performances and one Japanese television performance. It is packaged in a regular cardboard video box and was released by A*Vision Videos, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, with a catalogue number of 50335-3. It is often sought after by fans of Amos, though does not hold a particularly high collectible value.
The video showcases Amos' trademark early style of performance, notably her penchant for wearing vintage swimsuits with cutoff blue jeans over them and her frequent banter with the audience. The clips are bridged with interview segments. During one of the song performances, Amos experiences a technical difficulty during which a crew person comes on stage and uses duct tape to fix a piano problem, prompting humorous banter with the audience.
The video's most unique feature is that during the closing credits an instrumental version of the song "China" plays, which has never been released elsewhere (even promotionally.)
