P!nk’s Surprise Duet With Alanis Morissette, Plus More Rock & Roll Moments at LA’s Summer Carnival Tour Stop

After performing her 2002 Missundaztood single “Just Like a Pill,” P!nk asked the audience: “You know ‘Just Like a Pill,’ but what about Jagged Little Pill?” This kicked off the night’s salute to “the women of rock,” as her band kicked into Alanis Morissette’s breakthrough hit “You Oughta Know” and the Canadian singer/songwriter emerged from backstage for a dynamic duet. This was only the fifth song in the set, and the crowd positively lost their minds as Alanis and P!nk traded lyrics – and P!nk did too, dropping down to her knees to bow at the feet of the ’90s rock goddess.

In one of the slower moments of the night, P!nk sat down at the piano to channel Bob Dylan by way of Adele, covering the Dylan-written ballad “Make You Feel My Love,” as she has throughout the Summer Carnival tour. The love song was Adele’s final single from her 2008 debut album, 19, and P!nk said the British superstar’s cover is what made her fall in love with it.

To mark the final night on tour for opening act Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, P!nk invited the married duo back onstage for a mash-up of “Just Like Fire” with “Heartbreaker,” Benatar’s first top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The audience had heard Benatar & Giraldo close their set with the heart-pumping hit earlier in the night, but it was magical to hear P!nk and Pat’s powerhouse vocals together, alongside the pop star’s formidable trio of backup singers.

Don’t be fooled by P!nk quietly starting her cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You” with just her guitarist on a pair of stools at center-stage. The full band (and the full stadium light show) kicked in for each rocking interlude, bookended by P!nk’s yearning-turned-wailing Robert Plant homage.

“Did someone just yell ‘Free Bird’?” P!nk asked incredulously between songs. “It really is a rock & roll night! Who thought someone would yell ‘Free Bird’ at P!nk? We made it!”

In the end, the most rock & roll moment of all was P!nk’s trademark aerial acrobatics. Her airborne skills were on display throughout the show, but the “So What” finale that saw her flying like Peter Pan around the circumference of SoFi Stadium was the most mind-bending. As she appropriately sings in the chorus: “So what? I’m still a rock star.”
