Yesterday I went to a Alanis Morissette show in Mexico City at the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) and I can't even put into words how amazing the show was.
It's my first time seeing Alanis live and now it's for sure that I'll be seeing her again whenever I get the chance to do so. Her voice is just... unbelievable. Better live than on her records. She reaches tones that I ddidn't even think were possible to reach, and every single time she opened her mouth I felt goosebumps all over my body. The five musicians she brought with her are also amazingly talented and their energy brought a lot to the show. I'm sure it wouldn't have been the same vibe without them.
The setlist was:
Intro (The Couch)
Uninvited
All I Really Want
Versions Of Violence
Not The Doctor
Not As We
You Learn
Hand In My Pocket
You Oughta Know
Everything
Sympathetic Character
Perfect
Moratorium
Tapes
So Unsexy
Ironic
Thank U
Two hours of pure geniusness, ha. I was ecstatic.
The Auditorium is a very well organized place and even if they let you stand up, it's really made to remain seated. Everyone stood up except for the area where my friend Fabiana and I were, so we thought it would be a little rude to stand up and (maybe) block someone's view.
By the time the song "All I Really Want" started we stood up (we were too excited) and this asshole behind us yells–with a very rude tone, by the way: "Sit down!!" but every person sitting in the other areas was standing up and it was a concert so there was no fucking way we'd sit down. So I turn around and I yell back: "sit down in your house!!" (it sounds better in Spanish, haha). He didn't say anything else during the show and as a matter of fact, we kind of encouraged everyone else to stand up. Even the asshole.
Alanis is incredible and if you get the chance you should go to one of her shows. Even if you only know the song "Ironic", it's the kind of show anyone can appreciate and make you jump like crazy.
