Alanis Morissette, Marlay Park, Dublin 19/08/08

''It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful HUSBAND''


For a birthday present from my boyfriend; John, I got a ticket to go and see the Alanis Morissette & Lenny Kravitz concert. Having been talking about it for months beforehand, I couldn't wait to go to it, but I was only there for Alanis, as I neevr really knew who Lenny Kravitz was except that he was the guy who sang 'fly away'.

It's a day I will never forget in a hurry and a memory to cherish forever. There's nothing more gratifying than meeting one of your idols and getting to see Alanis Morissette perform live has to be one of the most blissful moments I have ever experienced and would do anything to see her live again. Standing in amongst the cheerful swaying crowd I stood with my boyfriends arms wrapped around, I couldn't help but sway along and sing my heart out along with Alanis and the crowd before rocking out during her more upbeat and uptempo sets.

She blended a setlist of her classic songs such as 8 Easy Steps, Hand In My Pocket, Head Over Feet and You Oughta Know with material from her new album aswell. She started of by rocking out with Uninvited, and finished off with her most recognisable songs of Ironic and Thank You. Changing one of the lines in Ironic to: it's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful HUSBAND, she got a massive uproar of cheers and laughter from the crowd, stopping Alanis during the song before ending it off on a high getting everyone excited and in the mood for the finale of Thank You, and as everyone sang along, it was pretty much like the crowd thaking Alanis for such a great performace.
