The Original Bootlegs
2005 live album series by Tori Amos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Original Bootlegs is a series of six live albums by American singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos, recorded during the Original Sinsuality and Summer of Sin tours, both of which were in support of her eighth studio album, The Beekeeper (2005). Two-disc sets were released for each complete show, which were released in three waves of two albums each.[2] On December 6, 2005, a cardboard-housed compilation of all six concerts was released, titled The Original Bootlegs.[3] The albums' cover art is minimal, with artwork featuring animal silhouettes, following the theme of The Beekeeper, which places songs into different metaphorical gardens.
