It was a great evening! Again I recommend this newcomer as a talent worthy of Jewel fans' attention, even if her studio album doesn't have the punch of her live performances. Toni graciously let me off the hook from attending her acoustic performance tonight (she didn't want it recorded) so I could have the chance to see Tara MacLean for the second time in as many weeks. We saw her in Detroit on the 14th, of course, thanks to the generosity of Dan "the man" Stark, but her set was marred by the noisy band in the basement of St. Andrews' Hall. I got to the Vogue about 6:15, rather late for my usual procedure, but since I didn't particularly care about being the first one in the door this was fine. I decided to hang around back to see if perhaps Tara might be doing a sound check or enjoying the spring-like weather that visited Indiana today. I said hi to the security guys who came out the back door, and they confided that the band bus hadn't arrived yet. Not a good sign. Well, the weather was too nice to go stand in line, so I waited around for a few more minutes -- and here came the band bus. Roadies galore poured off the bus and started hauling equipment inside; I was about to give up and go around front when a petite young lady stepped off the bus and went into the theater. Tara! I walked over to the back door hoping she might come back out for something -- then noticed that Tara had indeed come back out the stage entrance. I called out to her, and quickly identified myself as a friend of Dan's; she remembered meeting me and Toni in Detroit and insisted that I convey a big HI to Dan. Her accompanist Bill Bell (sp?) followed her out, and I shook hands with him too. We were just starting a conversation when I found myself being hailed loudly from across the parking lot. Neil and Sharron from Toni's band had stopped in the vicinity to pick something up and were en route to their car. I spoke with them for a moment, taking the opportunity to introduce them to Tara; but they had to run after a brief hello. Sharron gave me a quick hug and kiss before leaving; I turned back to Tara to continue chatting and she grinned and said "you have lipstick on your face." I laughed and told her I liked it. Tara was waiting for a taxi to take her to the hotel so she could shower before the performance, so I talked to her about airplane rides, touring, food poisoning (!), audiences and suchlike. She suddenly remembered something she'd left inside the theater and asked me to watch her bags while she retrieved it. What trust! The taxi arrived moments after she returned; I helped her load her bags and she left with a cheery "See you after the concert!" I don't remember much else except that as the sky darkened, we amused ourselves by looking at comet Hale-Bopp, prominent in the northwest sky. The doors opened late due to the fact that the bus had arrived late; Tara's set was delayed accordingly. I planted myself right in front of the stage and awaited the re-arrival of our heroine, who walked on stage with Bill only 30 minutes later than originally scheduled. She launched right into "Let Her Feel The Rain", which not only set the tone for her performance, it silenced and attracted the few hundred people nearest the stage. Pretty soon she was the center of attention of a number of people who were enjoying her for the first time. Tara moved on with flawless performances of "That's Me", "Evidence", and "For You"; her voice soared and sighed, sweet one moment and Angry the next. Her peppy, funny, occasionally self-deprecating patter between songs is an interesting contrast to the pain and sadness reflected in some of her lyrics. She played a very new song I don't recall the name of, as well as the ex-boyfriend song (on piano) and an incredible gospel-inspired tune called "Jordan" -- Bill almost steals the show from her with his astonishing guitar work on this one. I sang along with most of them, which weirded out the people around me -- even if they had the album, they would surely not know some of the tunes she performed! Thanks for the heads-up, Dan! :-) Several times during the set, she looked straight down at me -- standing there lip-syncing for all I'm worth -- and grinned. No, I'm not vain; I was 5 feet from her, and couldn't have been mistaken. Embarrassing. I don't think I've ever had a performer react to me while I was watching a concert and it was almost spooky. She closed with "Silence", a capella, and it was fascinating to watch her arms and hands while she was performing without an instrument. It appears that most singer/songwriters writhe a lot when they're not accompanying themselves; Jewel does it, Patty Griffin does it, Tara does it... it was a great wrap-up to the set. Her powerful vocals took their toll; I crawled back to my table, limp as an old napkin, and tried to reclaim some strength for Ashley MacIsaac's set. I'll skip the review of Ashley except to say that he once again kicked butt, the audience was very receptive, and his band members are very nice guys offstage. I chatted with the keyboard player and lead guitarist while hoping to catch Ashley afterward; no luck, unfortunately. Tara came out after the concert ended and was handing out licorice to everyone, signing autographs, and generally being treated like royalty - I saw a couple of flowers in her hand. She was very tired and needed to rest, but made sure she spoke to everyone who wanted to see her. She even hailed me and thanked me again for coming to the concert while on her way back to the tour bus. A classy lady, and a major talent. Keep your eyes out for her coming to your area. Dan -- she says a solo concert in Detroit is coming up. Details? I'm going to bed now and dream of a sweet young Canadian who put a big smile on my face with her 35-minute performance this evening.

What difference does it make how a person looks from genetics when they have such a wondrous light that burns from inside? Jewel will always be beautiful to me no matter what because of who she is, not because of what she looks like. It's not like when we come into this world we're given a multiple choice sheet to select what body we're given. The one and only thing we can control in our lives is who we are, what we believe and value, and who we will eventually become. There is no greater beauty (imo) than the beauty that burns in your heart and soul. And quite frankly people like Jewel just don't come around nearly frequently enough to remind us to look at ourselves. I really feel sorry for anyone who holds these genetic appearance things so important in their lives that it blinds them to the wonderful things that truly make up who we are as humans. And I hope the girlfriends of these poopheads realize how shallow they are and dump them out on the curb where they deserve to be.

I don't even know the name of it. He sang it at a concert I promoted at Freehold Township High School in NJ. My memory fails me because it was back in 1971-72 It was about his grandfather. He sang it in a little-boy voice and words. The song starts by drawing beautiful pictures of a little boy going fishing with his grandpa at Greasy Lake (better known as Freehold Pond) . They are walking home with fishing poles over their shoulders and Bruce had his arms around his grandpa. The love Bruce had for this man was clear with every word. It started out as a celebration of the love we all should have for both a family member and the aged. The audience was noisy at first but he got them listening to every word. The ending of the song is what I will never forget. As he opens the screen door that slams and walks into the living room, he is very puzzled by what he sees and runs out to find his mother. He asks her the haunting question, "Mommy, why is grandpa sleeping in a box in the living room?" He ended the song right there. The audience was shocked and no one applauded. With that one line, he touched emotions that I first felt as a child. He made us see death, experienced for the first time through a childs eyes. It was a powerful moment. A stunned audience sat in silence, many with tears in their eyes, as the singer had to turn away from them to hide his own tears. It was a song sang from the heart about a real part of his life. It was the first and last time he ever did that song. If you listen to Cadillac Ranch, he again sings about death. You can't be fooled into dancing to its rock-a-billy beat . Because the the Cadillac he says we will all get to ride in is a hearst and the Ranch he sings of is a funeral home. The only other singer that ever came that close to touching me the same way is Jewel.

Here is my review of the Chicago show last night. To start all I can say is WOW! This show was just beautiful! The lighting is gorgeous and the "tiny lights" are so incredible. I love how they would change the backdrop w/ the lights every time she changed songs. I thought it was so cool when the showed a stained glass window and then the bright lights that looked like rays of sun coming through the window onto Jewel when she was singing AMEN. My other favorite lighting was when her & steve at the very end were singing WWSYS and then they did the really beautiful blue sky and bright white clouds floating in the back it was just so WOW! The rugburns were hilarious! I wasn't sure to expect by the reviews from people. I thought they might be kinda crude or raunchy and sucky but they were really funny, wild & wacky! These guys are great! I am definitely buying all of the cd's buy them I can get! I also got to meet stinky and shake his hand. He even singed my poetry book. he is so nice. Jewel did a wonderful job singing despite the fact the rude and obnoxious people would yell during her songs "I love you Jewel" or the they would just scream it was so obnoxious. then these girls and aisle away from us were yelling yodel so i told them to shutup because I was so sick of their stupid stuff. I know that is so un EDA like but I was so frustrated with them and their lack of respect for Jewel. Jewel did such a great job singing and playing. I really noticed on how much her talent as a singer and a guitar player has changed. She is really good now. Not like she was bad before but you can her how much she has worked and changed and how her talent has grown. I don't have a set list I know Jeff & Drew were keeping one. I also wanted to say a big congrats & thanks to pete for giving Jewel a bouquet of roses and two beautiful angel cards that he had all of us sign. Thanks Pete and Great Job. He had second row so it was easy for him to do this. I must say the timing on that was perfect.. I think she just finished a really beautiful song a really emotional one I forget what it was and at the end the flowers were handed to her and put on the stage. Absolutely beautiful and perfect timing. It was so COOL! I have more to say but i think I will save it for another post as this one is long enough. :) I just have to say before I sign off that I truly understand know the true meaning of EDA now. I didn't really understand the real feelings behind it until really this morning. I see it as really special, nice, caring, sharing people who love, respect & care for each other and the same about Jewel. After hearing Jewel and seeing her in such a beautiful place and having such a beautiful set. Then having this wonderful opportunity to exchange tapes of her shows and meeting all these other truly wonderful people. It's just an honor to be an EDA. That's it for now!

The gates open at 6:00AM, *not 8:00AM* on Sat., June 21. Expected crowd size is 250,000, *not* 100,000. Admission is ALL general admission, so I'm sure there will be ALOT of space for ALOT of people and ALOT of tickets will be sold. I haven't heard anything about tickets almost being gone, definitely not down to only a few hundred left. The deadline for FREE tickets is May 17. You "can" buy them as Naveen stated for $16, but there are 2 ways to get them free. Check out http://www.blockbuster.com for more info. Naveen, if you read this, just wanted to let you know that I hope you can make the show and meet several of us EDA's (I'm looking forward to meeting them too as I have yet to do that). Blockbuster has flyers at all their stores that also describe all the info about the concert. Times, schedule, etc. It's quite detailed. So there's still time to get tickets, I don't want anyone to think it's too late. BUT, in about another month or so, it may be a little more difficult to get them...so don't wait *too* long if you plan on going. I'm getting a list together of all the people intending on going (this is just a rough estimate right now) and as far as I know, Christina Ferrara is compiling a list of EDA's making roadtrips. Farr Shepherd is also gathering info on whose going, etc. I imagine we'll all exchange lists eventually and compile a more exact list of whose going for sure and where everyone is going to be traveling from. Hopefully by the end of May this will be confirmed. If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me, Farr, or Christina. :) (Only *3* more months!!!) ~ Derrick ~ e-mail addy's: Christina --> cferrara@eagle.ycp.edu Farr --> obie1@ou.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 12:38:31 -0500 (EST) From: Tlcathome@aol.com Subject: NJC (again): Women's Folk Project Hi all.

Bruce, like Jewel is an amazing lyricist who conjures up a variety of images and emotions within the soul. Although I've never had the good fortune to see Bruce live, (yet) I have all his albums up to and including Tunnel of Love. And still, every time I hear "Thunder Road" by chance on the car radio (listening to Bruce and driving is a quasi-religious experience) I feel my eyes well up. (which is not good while driving!) But I just wanted to share how I fell about Bruce with other Jewel (and Springsteen) fans, and how they both affect me. :) --JAC "Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.

Hey guys. This is Natalie. I just wanted to post about a Jewel dream and the awesome time I had in Chicago last night. First off, this was my first Jewel show and I was really excited. About a week before the concert I had a dream that I was at the show. The place where she was playing was VERY small, there were only about 4 rows. My friend and I were in the 3rd row. Jewel started playing (I have no idea which song it was) and when she was done the audience was totally silent, except for me. I was screaming and clapping. She asked for a request and I think I asked for "My Own Private God's Gift to Women." When she heard this she asked me my name and said that I was surely very excited to be there. I told her yes I was and that this was my first show. She then said that Natalie should get better seats. The crowd agreed and Wendy and I were promptly escorted to the very first row. The security guy kicked out two people and took them to our old seats and Wendy and I enjoyed the rest of the show in the front row. Again throughout the whole concert no one clapped except for me. Wierd huh. Now on the the real event last night in Chicago. We arrived at the pre-concert gathering at Ed's around 5:15. The lady at the hostess booth wouldn't tell us where the Dallner party was sitting and so we had to settle for our own private little booth. After a very entertaining version of YMCA and polite banter with our waiter (Cha- Chee) we left Ed's around 6:15. We walked to the Chicago Theater and waited outside till they let us in. I was carrying a gift bag for the Rugburns with a container of homemade Chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies and three boxer shorts (they were very cool, all different, two Winnie the Pooh and one Tigger.) I saw a guy and a girl with a bunch of flowers. After considering it for some time, and after we made eye contact I asked them if they were EveryDay Angels. They came over and said yes. They let me sign the card that was passed around Ed's and when I found out that they had mainfloor seats I asked them to place my giftbag on the stage for me. Janine agreed and I thanked her over and over again. At this time they started to let people in. We walked in and I went straight to the T-shirts. I bought two shirts and two poetry books. Then after saying goodbye to Janine we went to find our seats. They were great for balcony seats. We were right on the edge. The rugburns were great. I love the Treehugger song. I was dissappointed at how quiet the crowd was when Steve asked for help at the end of "I'm gonna UPS my heart next day to you." I was the only one singing in my section including the people that I dragged to the show. After the Rugburns sayed good night, we went to smoke. We then came back to our seats and I saw people that I had waited in line with when the tickets went on sale. I was out there at 6 am and they were there at 5. We kept each other company and each others minds off the cold and STILL we only got balcony seats. :-( I had my frisbees but the venue was soo classy I was afraid to start the Frisbee toss. The lights dimmed and Jewel came out as beautiful as ever. She was wearing black form fitting pants and a white long sleeved shirt. (At least we thought it was white, then we heard someone on the radio say that it was blue, oh well.) She sang Near You Always in total darkness and the crowd was going wild. She sang the entire song like that. I don't know her entire set, I was too mesmerized to remember what she sang, and in what order. I know she sang "Sometimes it be that way", i miss the Goldilocks verse. She sang Little Sister, Morning Song, and Foolish Games. And some other songs before she called Steve and the rest of the Rugburns on stage. They went into "You Were Meant For Me" and I swear that they were gonna kiss. Then Stinky and John left and Jewel and Steve did Adrian, and I think Silver Lining. It was beautiful, even more sad when you can see the emotion in Jewel's face. With the help of Stinky and John she did "Deep Water, " "Run Tonto, Run," and other songs. Then the guys left and she sang "Angel Standing By," "Animals," and "Fat Boy." She had to start over for this one cause she sang the wrong words. And then "Chime Bells." I was dissappointed, cause she hardly spoke to us at all. She didn't even ask us if she shoud go faster. :-( Her encore was "Who will save your soul," I think one more, then she did "Amen ." Right before she started this song some girl jumped on the stage, walked up to Jewel and tapped her on the shoulder. Jewel was looking to the ground and didn't even see the girl till she turned around. The girl said something to her and Jewel said thank you and gave her a hug. The security guys then escorted her off stage. She sang beautifully and then said goodnight. Sometime in the middle of the encore Janine managed to get her flowers and my gift bag and the cards on stage. (THANK YOU SO MUCH). We went to the lobby where I tried to find Mike Garnett. I didn't manage to find him before my friends dragged me outside. I convinced them to go to the side of the theater and we saw Stinky signing stuff. I had him sign both my poetry books by his name and told him about the boxers and cookies. He called me a sweetheart and shook my hand. He looked truly touched. Then we went further down the alleya nd saw John Castro. I had him sign both my books and also told hom to look for the cookies and boxers. He thanked me. At this time I saw Janine and thanked her agian for delivering my gift. We were then rudely told to leave the premises and we walked to our car. To end this great night, the idiots at the parking garage directed me to an unmanned cashier booth, and after waiting a while I just drove off without having to pay for parking. All in all it was a FABULOUS NIGHT!!!!! I hope to see Jewel again, maybe she will be kinder to her Chicago crowd. To those of you who managed to read this all the way through, thank you for listening to my glowing. Enthusiastically, Natalie.

This is kind of big so if you aren't into Days Of Our Lives then do not read, because it feels like a soap opera here. My mom and dad sat my sister and I down at the dinner table last night and said they needed to talk to us about our future. We were clueless except thinking that we were moving or something. Well my dad got all choked up and told us that he had cheated on my mom (I am silent and feeling very shocked and unangelic when he says this, although my initial reation was laughing out loud). My dad is a Presbyterian pastor, and because of this he is quitting his position here and the entire profession of being a pastor. So he is going to do a complete career change now (he is 46). Also, since everything is changing, we are moving to a bigger house in town which is good but still not what I need right now. Too much happening to quickly at once. I am in shock. I think my dad is a big jerk now (excuse the venting) and I don't know why my mom is staying with him. They were getting really emotional last night and I've never seen my dad like that. My sister was crying and calling my dad bad names and it was just an odd night. What do I do now? This is such a shock. This is such a shock. Everything in my life was very peaceful and good until last night. I am really thinking about moving out now as soon as I can to get away from this chaos and I have no clue what to say, what to do. The thing is that since my dad is a public figure and since he will be announcing this to the whole church it shames the entire family. It is embaressing for me. I feel bad for my mom. It's funny I always thought my dad was doing something. They won't tell us when it happened and who with (which means it was recent probably) which is wigging me out even more. Usually I am a free and calm spirit but this just threw me way off. This is such a shock. Help.

I think I am the biggest Springsteen fan in al of Michigan. About a year ago, I had the privaledge of seeing him in Detroit at the FOX theater. Took my breath away. I have yet to be moved like that in my life. Although the Jewel concert a week ago, that I was at, was close. I just can't explain why the Bruce is so SPECIAL. He has suck dynamic lyrics. There is not one song that I don't consider great. From the street rock on albums Asbury Park and Wild, Innocent and The E STREET Shuffle, to the Rock sensation he is in Born to Run and BITUSA, all the way to his central themes of love a betrayal in Tunnel and Human Touch/ Lucky Town. There is no one like him. And how about Tom Joad. Has an artist ever put out such a meaningful, spiritual album like that. It is just special. I am just glad I can say that I was able to hear the legend in person. If anyone wants to hear quality Bruce, just buy Darkness on the Edge of Town and Nebraska. Those are my favorite. Like the cover of bruce's fan club magazine says: "A Magazine of SIN AND REDEMPTION" Thats what Bruce is to me. Boss - -- "Come on pretty baby call my bluff, 'Cause for you my best was never good enough." -Bruce Springsteen "And when you cry I'll be right there, Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful, So don't you worry, I'm your Angel standing by." -Jewel Kilcher "She doesn't care what it's worth, She's living like it's the last night on Earth." -U2 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 19:00:59 -0500 () From: Jeff Kirschner Subject: Re: Superficial talk of Jewel's teeth On Fri, 21 Mar 1997, Albert Sze-Wei Wang wrote: > > > On all this talk about superficial things, I guess my view on this whole > discussion is why do we concentrate on such superficial issues when > talking about a person with so much beauty shining from within?

Straight teeth, crooked teeth, big this, small this, fat, thin, it really does not matter, and nor should it. Perfection is something that can never be acheived externally, but can most certainly be acheived internally. Externally, Jewel is exremely beautiful, but internally, she is breathtaking. Only someone with a beautiful heart and soul can write such genuine and endearing poetry and lyrics, and can touch people the way that Jewel does. That is why talk about someone's outside appearance is irrelevent and superficial. And besides, it is the little imperfections that make us interesting. If the world was completely perfect, it would be a boring place to live in indeed.
