Friends of mine saw the show in SF last week and said that the BNL went on first and the place emptied after they were done. You may not have to sit through Alanis, so you've got that going for you....

Maybe you can go to the 2nd stage and imagine Muse is playing, I'm sure after a few Molson's, your mind would actually think they were up there playing. Honestly, nobody would be pointing and laughing at you.

yeah, I've never been into BNL (I even hate the abbreviation) and the naked poster flashes in my mind everytime I think of this show - ew.
-
Hell, no!!!!
I hate one even more than the other!
Kosmo, you have my deepest sympathy.
-
a quick report
some bands played, hits were rendered and seth played drums with the bare naked ladies
-
It was a so so show. I've never been much for Alanis but she seemed to be more bored than I was. BNL were BNL...entertaining but forgettable. Highlight was our man Seth on drums during "The Old Apartment." Props were given by the Ladies to Merriweather and 9:30.

Are you kidding? Alanis was amazing. She had the entire crowd singing, and her rendition of You Oughta Know was GREAT! I have never seen her play so well.

Her rendition of You Oughta Know was like watching a soccer mom attempt it at Karaoke after downing a bottle of Robitussin.

Well I guess that the answer is no....lamb007 wasn't kidding.
Great visual, by the way.
-
word in 932 was that alanis wasn't feeling so well that night...
-
That's no surprise, with her career tanking and all.
-
I was just guessing about the Robitussin but I guess I was closer to the truth than I imagined!
I'll give you that "Uninvited" was well sung. But for You Oughta Know to be delivered without any of the anger or desperation with which it was recorded was a slight to the audience. If she's not mad, she should have just left it off of the set list. Blame it on Van Wilder. She's happy now. Which doesn't really lend itself to great art now does it?

This isn't unlike the problem I had with Liz Phair's recent concerts (I only went to the show she shared with...*hack*, *cough*...Jason Mraz)...she sings many of the Exile songs, but with a fucking smile on her face and a jaunty step in her voice...I was so disappointed when "The Divorce Song" sounded like a partridge family jingle.... It shouldn't make a difference, but it does. I hear you, Lamb.

Don't get me started on her. I went to the headline show in April. It was painful. The songs are still great but I preferred my rock stars angst-ridden. And that stupid headset microphone was the last straw.
