On a warm July evening, the Budweiser Stage was illuminated with the brilliance of Alanis Morissette’s The Triple Moon Tour. With a stellar lineup featuring Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and Morgan Wade, the night promised to be an unforgettable celebration of rock legends and rising stars.

Morgan Wade kicked off the evening with an energetic set that set the tone for the night. Her performance of “Domino” and “Total Control” showcased her dynamic range and solidified her place as an emerging talent. The highlight of her set was the engaging drum solo that had the audience fully immersed in her performance.

Next up was Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, whose set was a masterclass in rock ‘n’ roll. From the rebellious energy of “Rebel Girl” to the timeless “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Jett delivered a high-octane performance that thrilled the crowd. Her covers of classics like “Cherry Bomb” and “Crimson & Clover” were particularly memorable, bringing a nostalgic yet fresh vibe to the show.

As the clock struck 9:15 PM, Alanis Morissette took the stage to a roaring reception. Her set was a captivating journey through her iconic discography, blending hits with intimate moments. Highlights included a heartfelt acoustic segment set up in front of section 302, where she performed “Mary Jane” and “Your House.” This special surprise treated the audience in that section to an exclusive experience.

A particularly special moment occurred during “Ironic,” when comedian Fortune Feimster joined Alanis for the first verse, adding a fun twist to the performance. The duo’s chemistry was evident as they embraced after the verse, leaving the crowd cheering for more.

Alanis continued to mesmerize with her harmonica skills during “Head Over Feet” and “All I Really Want,” and her guitar work on tracks like “Hands Clean” and “Lens” was a testament to her versatility as an artist. The setlist was a well-curated mix of old favorites and deep cuts, ensuring that fans of all eras had something to cherish.

Throughout the night, a group of teenagers could be seen side stage, fully engrossed in the performances. Their enthusiasm added an extra layer of energy to the evening, highlighting the multigenerational appeal of the music.

The evening closed with an encore of “Uninvited” and “Thank U,” leaving the audience on a high note. Alanis’s performance was a poignant reminder of her enduring talent and ability to connect with her audience on a profound level.

As concertgoers made their way out of the venue, the night’s magic continued with a street performer playing guitar. He had drawn a huge crowd, and one enthusiastic fan took to singing Alanis’s songs, sparking an impromptu sing-along and dance party. It was a perfect end to an evening filled with music, community, and shared joy.
