Tori Amos at DAR Constitution Hall
Tori Amos has lived several different lives since starting out as Mary Ellen Amos the child musical prodigy, dabbling in synth-pop in the ’80s with Y Kant Tori Read, and then moving on to the incendiary passion and anger that fueled her seminal 1992 solo debut, Little Earthquakes. Since then, Amos’ recorded output has been hit-or-miss—see the particularly uninspiring new Abnormally Attracted To Sin, which falls back on some of the same breathless religion-versus-sex themes that first made her a favorite of goth-lite girls in the ’90s—but live, she still has a presence that can silence a room or make it sizzle.
