Add The New York Post on Google The ‘Times Of Dragons’ are finally upon us.
On July 7, Tori Amos kicked off the North American leg of her ‘In Times Of Dragons Tour’ with special guest Bartees Strange at Palm Beach, FL’s Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.
According to Set List FM, the ’90s icon performed 14 songs that evening. Popular tracks that made the cut include “Winter” and “Crucify” from 1992’s seminal “Little Earthquakes” along with “Pretty Good Year,” “Little Amsterdam” and “Bliss.”
She also performed a tune from the recently-released “In Times of Dragons,” her 18th studio album, which shares a name with the outing.
“I can not recommend seeing Tori Amos live enough,” Joyzine wrote in a review of one of the nine-time Grammy nominee’s spring concerts in the UK.
“If you’re not already a super fan, go just for the experience. The lighting, the performance, the support, for me, it felt like a once in a lifetime event…the live performance is absolutely worth every penny.”
Next up, the 62-year-old North Carolina native will hit theaters, music halls, opera houses, performing arts centers, wineries, auditoriums, palaces and pavilions all over the U.S. up until early September.
That includes four stops in New York. They’re scheduled to take place at:

On May 1, Tori Amos dropped her 18th studio album “In Times of Dragons.”
The robust record spans 17 tracks and 76 minutes and not a second is wasted. Crashing piano chords, raw yet melodic vocals and haunting instrumentation all make for a spellbinding listen.
“In Times of Dragons” kicks off with the imposing, heavy “Shush,” which peaks around the 3.5-minute mark with an impassioned chorus where Amos repeats “shush yourself” before finding a lighter, more lilting register. It’s gorgeous and a clear indication that she’s still operating at the top of her game.
Other standouts here include the slinky almost tropical title track “In Times of Dragons,” harpsichord-heavy bop “Provincetown,” jazzy, vulnerable “St. Teresa,” jaunty gospel-y “Fanny Faudrey” and crisp, epic ballad “Veins.”
We’re also partial to the longing, romantic “Strawberry Moon” and bouncy, dark “Pyrite” but the weighty “Song of Sorrow” is the real highlight here. The song is full of remorse, doubt and shame, all of which Amos brings to vivid, gray life with her assured vocals and emotional strings. A tough but essential listen and one we’re glad she’s bringing to the stage at her live shows.
To hear for yourself, you can find “In Times of Dragons” here.
Don’t skip the ’80s slow dance-like “Stronger Together” or majestic finale “23 Peaks” either. They’re a glorious capper to a very special record.
At all shows, Amos will be joined by the 37-year-old indie rocker who was raised in Oklahoma. He’s known for his outsized, slinky sound, which is best exemplified by well-known tracks of his like “Big Glow,” “Boomer” and “Sober,” that just so happens to be a lovely, little ballad before turning into fist-pumping rock.
