Alanis Morrissete for Cork and Dublin

Purple Mountain

I'm super excited to see that Alanis Morissette is to play The Marquee and Iveagh Gardens next July.
One date in each place.
Tickets go on sale on Monday.
Does anybody know if this will sell out quickly as with Christmas next week, I could do without buying these next week!

sporina

yeah soundtrack to my mid teens - wondering the same about demand as don't wanna queue in town - much of a demand for the cork gig peeps?

though if this thread is anything to go by, I guess not

I would say that there could be a demand for the Dublin gig though

No.

The tickets are on sale today but the gig definitely isn't listed on the front page of ticketmaster and definitely couldn't be found with a quick google.

Referencing the song written about irony, that doesn’t have a single example of an ironic situation in it, I’d imagine?

Yes, and the song is also devoid of irony... that’s the joke. I’d say you’re a barrel of laughs :rolleyes:

Meeting the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful husband surely qualifies?

nothing funny here.. just pointing out the lack of Irony

yeah there seems to be a lot of folk who are unsure of the meaning of the word

definition as follows:

"happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this"

Borderfox

any chance of another date being added on?

rubadub

She was frequently ridiculed for not knowing what it means.

She did an updated version, and even takes the piss out of the song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GVJpOmaDyU

An old friend sends you a Facebook request
You only find out they’re racist after you accept
There’s free office cake on the first day of your diet
It’s like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate
It’s a Snapchat that you wish you had saved
It’s a funny tweet that nobody faves
And who would’ve thought it figures

It’s a traffic jam when you try to use Waze
A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape
It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
It’s singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It’s like you’re first class on a Southwest plane
Then you realize that every seat is the same
It’s like Amazon but your package never came
And who would’ve thought it figures

It’s like Netflix but you own DVDs
It’s a free ride but your Uber’s down the street
It’s singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies
And who would’ve thought it figures

This updated version of fire & rain is pretty good too.

(JAMES)
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain,
I've seen the rise and fall of the Beanie Babies trend,
I've seen man buns, Myspace, and the Baja men,
But I never thought I'd see a new Star Wars again.
(STEPHEN)
Once I looked down and saw some sneakers
That had wheels built in the heel.
I've seen grandmas read "50 Shades Of Grey"
I've seen rainbow suspenders, and Taco Bell fourth meal,
And Gluten-free Brown Sugar Special K.
(JAMES)
Oh I've seen snakes upon a plane,
I've seen shampoo with conditioner built right in.
I've seen Al Roker's body go from fat to thin,
And I kinda hoped to see Left Shark again.
(STEPHEN)
Saw a strange pizza pie and it caught my eye, it was folded into a pouch.
Lord knows what you call those, I should've asked the pizza guy.
Well there's Bud Light Lime, and there's cybercrime, and flavor-crystal gum.
Quidditch teams and skinny jeans cutting blood off from my thighs.
(JAMES)
Oh I've seen toast that's multigrain,
I've seen almost every episode of "Friends."
I've seen adult diapers, I think they're called Depends.
But I never saw that show with the Olson twins.
(STEPHEN)
It's called "Full House."
How many more verses are there James?
(JAMES)
About 75.
(STEPHEN)
We've gotta go to commercial.
(JAMES)
Oh, I've seen Seinfeld and Elaine...

Keep an eye on toutless closer to the date. Usually a few people have to cancel at the last minute.

RebelButtMunch

Anyone know the stage times for the Iveagh Garden gig tomorrow?

Will be in Dublin tomorrow night for work ,thinking of going to the gig.
Do Ticketmaster usually release tickets the day of the gig or is there a box office at the venue ?

Limerick91

It could have been a great gig in Cork except for the terrible sound

I don't know if I will go to a gig in the Marquee again. I hope you all have improved sound in Dublin.

She has an excellent band including Mickey Flanagan on guitar!!!!!

Wrongway1985

Echo that, we made the most of it grand evening, couldn't fault the organisation, decent set, crap sound such a shame guitars were low vocals a bit muffled in spots, crowd was well up for it made me distinguish some songs even in truth, wasn't for that vibe who knows might have booted midway. Hope it goes well for those in Dublin tonight.

TM have done this before for some gigs but not all
You might find someone outside the venue selling tickets though
Or keep an eye on Toutless.com

What time did she finish at last night please?
I have to leg it for the last bus home

Wrongway1985

Think it was around 95 mins came on at 9

Glad I'm not the only one to notice this, sound was shockingly poor. Been to two concerts at the Marquee and both had bad sound, so last night is the last time I'll be going

sporina

having been a hugh fan in the 90's (her music was like a soundtrack to my teen's) it was a night of nostalgic bliss for me...

had 0 expectations as not ever hear of her live.. and didn't know much about her actual talent .. but I blown away by the buzz of the night..

ok the sound night not have been great for the 1st 3rd of the gig but from where I was, it was great for the rest of the night - esp when she started to make more eye contact with the crowd.

The chemistry between her and the band, and the whole band and the audience was such a great buzz..

You outta know, Uninvited and Thank you were fantastic..

And man she was actually sing - and play... a real talent..

Sometimes the past is left where is it but for us last night it was a warm fuzzy brilliant trip down memory lane..

Saw her in the Iveagh Gardens last night. She was excellent, venue was excellent & no issues with sound

Same as that. Sound was great, and her voice was top notch. She had good crowd interaction too.

Venue itself was grand, easy enough to get grub and a beer. Also easy to get close to the stage, and visibility from the back was good too.

Sound was poor allright so moved around a bit and found it improved to a mildly acceptable level after around 20 minutes.
The sound seems to be deteriorating year on year in the Marquee ,the sound system is ancient and no longer fit for purpose, its also a health hazard, Aiken if you are reading sort it out .

I've a pain in my ears yesterday and today from the low boom boom of the bass ,I forgot to bring my ETY earplugs.
Bass is too loud ,treble too high and non existent mid range frequency.

I really enjoyed the gig though despite the sound ,much more so than A-Ha ,which was a disaster due to the sound.
I wouldn't really be a fan of Alanis but she won me over quickly enough ,her voice was superb.
The crowd were absolutely great ,they deserve a better sound system than
the current garbage .
