I got into Alanis back in 1995, when she was promoting Jagged Little Pill (well, who didn't?). I was 11 at the time (shit!), and remember thinking both You Learn and You Oughta Know were the best songs/videos I had ever seen. I still think the video for YOK is amazing- it captures the feeling of the song.
Later on I was the only one left of my friends who kept listening to her, then Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie came -becoming, to date, my favorite Alanis album-, and I was completely awed.
Moratorium was my favorite song of last night - the performance seemed quite honest (unlike many of the rest).

Thank U
Thank you, Alanis, for such great experience. I thought the concert was overall excellent, though I was secretly expecting you to sing The Guy Who Leaves or, you know, Citizen of the Planet. Hand in my Pocket is such a great song, but I never liked any past-1997 live version of it. When you sung this one I thought you were about to have some sort of crib death, and then came Everything. No, Alanis, no. But you're forgiven because last night was the last show of the tour, if I recall correctly, so you must've been completely exhausted. At some point I also felt like giving you a sandwich.
