Tori performed this song live, in-concert during the Strange Little Tour in Philadelphia, PA on October 13, 2001.
"When we were in Philadelphia, somebody mentioned that I needed to open up to the Neil Young song, Philadelphia, because I wasn't doing heart of gold. I couldn't really achieve that by myself at the piano. And when that was suggested by someone, I thought that AIDS being another place where people -- you're invaded by the blood. There were a lot of subtexts that started to happen, and that song really started to be a cornerstone of that night in Philadelphia. And Philadelphia was of course the middle sister between New York and Washington. She holds a very important place in this little mythic tale. Because a lot of times the middle sister doesn't get a whole lot of attention."
