This Just In: Tori Amos has announced a special internet sneak preview live performance on Monday, August 16th! "Tori Amos: Live & Unrehearsed," the first joint presentation from MTV.com and SonicNet, will find Tori opening the door to a rehearsal by the four-time Grammy-nominated artist and her band as they prepare for their upcoming cross-country concert tour. The unique program, set to begin at 8PM (ET) on MTV.com (http://www.tori.mtv.com) will be performed from an undisclosed location before an intimate audience of 15 radio contest winners and their guests - not to mention a global online audience. In addition, fans may now click into mtv.com to vote for their favorite Amos song of all time, and the results will be passed on to Tori prior to her performance. "Live & Unrehearsed" comes on the eve of Tori's much-anticipated North American tour with Alanis Morissette. Dubbed the "51/2 Weeks Tour," the nationwide trek kicks off on August 18th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and concludes September 26th in Los Angeles, California, with Tori continuing on for a number of solo dates (see the Tour Database on the Atlantic site for details). On August 17th (8PM ET), Tori and Alanis will sit down together for a live online chat (http://alanisandtori.mtv.com), sponsored by MTV.com and SonicNet. http://www.atlantic-records.com/tori_amos http://www.tori.com http://www.tori.mtv.com http://alanisandtori.mtv.com
