Alanis Morissette - Not The Doctor live in Tokyo 1999 

to this day this is the best live performance i've ever seen. the way they took an album deep cut fan favorite, tweaked and twisted it in a more minor darker way, and then she fucking caterwauled to the nth of her range to unexpectedly close the show. GOODBYE. i didn't see Tokyo, but i was at Dayton OH for Junkie Tour and this ending spun me out in such a way that i cannot even articulate. i was a HUGE alanis morissette / Garbage fan before that show, i was A LIFELONG Alanis Morissette fan after it. you can't even speak to how her voice and energy fills the space, it's wild.

20+ years later and it's still badass.

Her vocal outro on this (4:19) is one of the most incredible vocal performances I have ever seen. There's something about Budokan with an artist's voice filling the space. Can't really hear it here because the sound is recorded directly into the mixer and not from the p.a. But, no wonder she saved this song for her final encore. She may have risked blowing her voice!

I can't believe this was almost 20 years ago. It sounds so timeless and beautiful. I remember seeing her live in New Zealand during this Junkie tour of 99

Love love love this song To me it represents healthy expectations and bounderies in relationships

LISTENING CAREFULLY 🥰

THE BESTEST VERSION I EVEN LISTENED TO......

This is one of those celestial sounding performances that's so sublime (with the right amount of power vocals and beat) you can put on auto replay and go about your business without getting tired of it playing in the background.

Junkie tour was the best ever.

The most amazing Alanis' performance ever! Lucky those that watched this live.

I came here to do some background research as I am doing this for guitar. And this has just completely made me rethink this song. AMAZING

Omg ! It was a awesome presentation one of the best singers of the world and I can say THE BEST SINGER IN MY OPINION, I love so much this woman and your beautiful job. Clap your hands to this wonderful woman.

Man, that ending!

Her voice comes out so effortlessly #amazing

Never gets old.

My most favorite song in the whole wide world! Helped me through some difficult times. Thank you! ❤

I appreciate this and her more now then I did when it first came out. I'm 56 .As A guy I don't see the angry chick deal.It's just Damn good art...

Amazing amazing amazing... love her

This performance is incredible, where have I been!!! I hope I can still see her this October :(

Just beautiful

Realmente a melhor versão q já ouvi. Thank you Alanis 👏👏👏❤❤

I love how she messed up this song! love the SFIJ era!!

Very haunting and beautiful

The words Alanis....my God the words!!

~~precious~~

i will comment on how this is the best live performance of a song i've ever seen every time i watch this in the hopes the people of the world will catch on - NOTE - Alanis herself says Not the Doctor is the song that she least relates to and can have an emotional connection to going forward because she feels this song is disregarding her partner's experience and basically saying 'i'm not willing to do all of that for you' (counteracted completely by 'Bent 4 U' one of her other best songs no one knows because she doesn't put her best songs on albums for whatever goddamned reason) which i fully understand. When you're together, youre in it to win it or go home. Their baggage is your baggage now once you're salt-and-peppering super exclusive. but this - GUUUUUUUURL. I just wish she would bring it back - be like 'hey this is no longer my philosophy, but if you like me, this closer will fuck your life up' and BRING IT BACKKKK - SHUT IT DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN this was such a killer motherfucking way to close a show dude.

Como amo Alnais e maravilhosa ❤❤

Best ever! 8)

Amo demais. ❤❤

spettacolareee

What a wonderful performer. I’ve met her manager.

l'adoro questa versione .

God I love you alanis ❤️❤️🙏

When I was 14 in 95-96 I had a handful of cassettes and CDs and Jagged Little Pill was one of them. As a big manly hairy guy, I was then and still am now into "angry chick rock".

Alanis Morissette para mim é para sempre e hoje Aos 45 anos de idade é como se fosse em 1998 igual a melhor vibe

I've finally found the Dragon Thank You

Queen !

Essa música é maravilhosa eu hoje Aos 45 anos de idade sinto a mesma vibe o mesmo momento como se fosse 1998

Pqp! Perfeição em tudo!

her range is incredible

I love that by SFIJ she was doing retrospectives of JLP.

Bad ass

When I tell my friends that I think Alannis is amazing .. and they don't get it.... I lose another friend..that 'just isn't aware enough to connect'... sad .. but true.......................

GOOD EVENING ❤🤍

Everything here is amazing but OMG the bass!!

Well that's the darkest ironic version of this! And i mean this song, not ironic!

E esses gritos no final? 😍😍😍😍😍

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS 💋❤🤍

2022!

5:33 ❤

So glad she recorded this version acoustically in 2005

I have my act together...as do you....my love!

50k times repeated and i still can't get the damn chorus right

lol she totally messed up the lyrics, which is a pity because the sound was really good :P

Melhor versão de not the doctor ela tá muito na brisa loca kkkk alguém vendo em novembro 2020?

I dont usually comment, but its like she wrote this about me and my ex.

1999

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey Hidden in the bottom drawer I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine Lend me some fresh air I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you I don't want to be your babysitter You're a very big boy now I don't want to be your mother I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months Show me the back door Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon And I don't want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2 I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face At midnight, hey What are you hungry for? I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together I don't want to be your idol See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights I don't want to be lived through A vicarious occasion Please open the window Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart And it's wounded beat I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling What do you thank me What do you thank me for Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

Fuck my youth was so cool

You save me and loose me love me and then leave me destroy me and billed me up,, you shame me and redeem me All at the same time,, you are my queen you are my love for you are my ideal,cxxx 💚🌹💐 Hedgmoon witch fairy 💙🐾🤸🔥🌹🗣️💪🌏

2 people want to be lived through vicarious occasion.

Not Trial

I Buried my sister this morning AND SHES YOOOO

. .

I love how she gets the words wrong at the start but no one cares

Lebih baik ngomongon cinta saja

Don't test again

tempo too slow for me..

Dengerous feedback

Drummer trying hard not to sound like Taylor. Would have been better to imitate.
