A complete video of Alanis Morissette's 2012 concert at Philadelphia's Electric Factory has surfaced, capturing all 21 songs from her 'Guardian Angel Tour' stop.

The recording shows Morissette, according to the source's description, turning the Electric Factory "into a roomful of catharsis." The tour came fresh off 'Havoc and Bright Lights,' her 2012 studio album, and the setlist splits its focus accordingly: new songs from that record sit alongside the material that made 1995's 'Jagged Little Pill' a career-defining smash.

What's in the set?

The full setlist runs:

  • "I Remain (Segue 1)"
  • "Woman Down"
  • "All I Really Want"
  • "You Learn"
  • "Guardian"
  • "Mary Jane"
  • "Edge of Evolution"
  • "Right Through You"
  • "So Pure"
  • "Ironic"
  • "Havoc"
  • "Head Over Feet"
  • "Lens"
  • "I Remain (Segue 3)"
  • "Uninvited"
  • "You Oughta Know"
  • "Numb"

From the newer material, "Woman Down," "Guardian" and "Lens" carry the flag for 'Havoc and Bright Lights,' showcasing what the source calls Morissette's "evolving songwriting." The catalogue heavyweights — "Ironic," "Uninvited" and "You Oughta Know" — supply the show's "emotional intensity," per the same description.

The acoustic turn

Seventeen songs in, the concert shifts shape. An acoustic stretch featuring "Hand in My Pocket," "Everything" and "Your House" strips the arrangements back, and the source notes that Morissette's "expressive voice taking centre stage" reveals "another side of her performance." It's a deliberate pacing move: the loudest, most cathartic numbers come first, then the room contracts to voice and strings.

The encore is a single song. "Thank U," the 1998 single from 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie,' closes the 21-song set, and the source singles out Morissette's "remarkable gift for making a concert feel personal" in that final moment.

What does this change for fans?

Mainly access. Full-length, professionally framed tour footage from this era of Morissette's career doesn't circulate widely, and a complete multi-segue setlist — including the rarely performed "I Remain" segues and the 'Havoc and Bright Lights' cuts — documents a specific transitional moment: a pop-rock songwriter road-testing a new album while carrying one of the 1990s' biggest-selling records on her back.

For anyone tracing the arc from 'Jagged Little Pill' to Morissette's later work, the Philadelphia video now offers a fixed, dated reference point — one full show, one room, one night in 2012.
