“Clearly we saved the best for last,” Rodrigo told fans at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on May 27, the last night of the American-leg of her Sour Tour.
It’s been exactly one year since singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo unleashed her first album, “Sour,” a collection of pandemic-written bedroom pop and pop-punk songs that went viral in a way no other album of its time has ever done.
The answer: She killed it. Rodrigo, 19, rocked San Francisco for the second time on Friday, May 27, performing hit after painfully-beautiful hit at the sold-out Bill Graham Civic Auditorium after Los Angeles-based opener, Chappell Roan. Rodrigo started the tour at Bill Graham Civic on April 2. They loved hearing that, and everything really. There wasn’t a moment during the sold-out show when Rodrigo’s predominantly 25-and-under fans weren’t screaming in approval. Every smile, comment and strut across the stage was met with squeals and whoops. When they weren’t covering their mouths in recognition of opening chords, they were cheering for guitar- or piano-playing, singing to each other, performing every lovelorn, self-doubting, vulnerable lyric as if they’d written it.
Her vocal delivery was strong and controlled; she gave us the now-iconic trembly high notes that build like a wave in songs such as “Drivers License” and “Hope Ur OK,” about childhood friends who were shunned or abused, which Rodrigo performed on acoustic guitar. She blew the audience away with her cover of Lavigne’s “Complicated,” hitting every pop-punk moment.
