- maynard & tori -

January 23, 1997
at Madison Square Garden, New York

When this show happened, Tori's 1996 Dew Drop Inn Tour was already over. This show was a benefit for her charity organization, RAINN (the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network). Tori, already acquainted with Maynard, invited him onstage to perform a duet; the song he chose was "Muhammad My Friend", from her 3rd album ("Boys for Pele"). Tori introduces him as one of her dearest friends, saying she calls him when she's feeling terrible and he sings her lullabies.

For more information on Tori, the tour, RAINN, or whether or not this performance will be released on CD, check out a Tori Amos page. Sadly, there are well over 40 (sort of makes you feel glad to be a Tool fan). I recommend A Dent in the Tori Amos Net Universe for starters. Information on the potential release of this song will also appear on this page and in the News section.

"Maynard is... well, first of all he makes the greatest cookies I've ever had. And Maynard's so wonderful. He just really is. And he's a good buddy, so I called him up. Maynard's got a lot of interesting ideas about many things."

-- Tori, in an interview from the online magazine Addicted to Noise.

Oddly, this sounds exactly like the info posted in the Video section under "Tori + MJK". Hmm...
