Hi all, Does anyone have the guitar tab for Have a Little Faith in Me? It sounds wonderful, but i don't have an ear for tabbing songs out, unfortunately... I've checked the standard places for it, Gerrit's page and OLGA, specifically, and couldn't find it. If anyone can point me towards it, I'd be very appreciate. :) Thanks!

For me, Jewel performed only one night in Singapore, and even though my friend and I was there 3 hours early, we never caught a glimpse of her.We didn't even manage to get a promotion poster of her they were giving away. But I have to say that hearing her sing more than made up for it.Wish i could have gotten her to sign my cd though........and all they sold there were her 2 albums, spirit and pieces of you, which of course i already had in my possesion. Wish she had performed 2 or 3 nights so i could have heard her again. She's sensational. gilbert ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 17:12:45 +1000 From: "Christine Diefenbach" Subject: DSL on radio.. Hey all, Ok people keep talking about DSL not getting enough airplay and trying to get us all to request the song on radio to give Jewel and DLS more publicity and popularity.. WHY??? I mean I like the song but I already have it on CD.. why do I need to request it on radio to hear it? Jewel has money and lots of it and a good record company to promote her.. besides she's already well known enough... doing this sort of thing should definately be saved for artists that aren't very well known.. I mean if a well known artist has problems getting airplay for a song it only means that the song isn't very popular... . Don't get me wrong I mean I'm a massive fan but I don't think being a fan should encompass me having to call up radio stations to get Jewel some good publicity.. That's why we have record companies!! anyway that's all for today later all Chris ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 01:38:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Ria Sands Subject: Jewel Southampton setlist, jewel and cindylee berryhill reviews and articles To: jewel@smoe.org Sender: owner-jewel@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Sorry this is a bit slow getting on here but I had tro unsubscribe for a bit and had some trouble posting messages so I’m putting all the things I posted over the last week into one big post. Setlist for Southampton Guildhall concert ­ 4th May Steves set: Ten chances Paint the town (I think this was the title) Maybe I’m going to give you up for lent Silver lining The great mystery Star wars song (not too sure of the proper title) Jewel’s set: Near you always Deep water With band: Whats simple is true Hands Jupiter YWMFM (With steve) On own Enter from the east POY story POY Sometimes it be that way Grey Matter With band: Barcelona Life Uncommon Foolish Games Down so long Down Love me just leave me alone Who will save your soul Encore: Absence of fear Angel standing by What a night  …The concert started with Steve’s set obviously and I was really looking forward to seeing him as I’d heard so much about him but other than Silver Lining, I’d never heard anything of his. I was really impressed though and I think everyone else was too judging by the rounds of applause he got at the end of each song. Incidentally I think the concert was sold out but I’m not sure of the capacity of the place. Steve wasn’t too pleased with his bottle of wine that had been left on the stand next to him so he offered it to the first member of the audience who could in 3 words, describe southampton …. I think the winner (but only participant) was ‘piece of shit’ so this guy went up on stage to collect the bottle. Then during his intro story to ‘maybe I’ll give you up for lent’ someone walked up to the front of the stage and stood there waiting for steve to notice him and give him an autograph. I think everyone was pretty surprised by this …as was steve who said ‘my god I’m in the middle of a show for crying out loud’ or something similar, it was really funny and everyone started cheering. Unfortunately I don’t think the show was taped, I met another EDA Chris Groves who I thought was taping the show so I didn’t bother…did anyone else who went manage to tape it? Jewels set was magic right from the off, the lighting was wonderful and the whole thing was so different from when I saw her 18ish months ago in Birmingham, I was surpirsed how little Jewel actually played the guitar herself. She wasn’t too chatty on the whole but she did tell the modelling convention story for pieces of you asked for requests ….First of all I called for race car driver and someone else for little sister but she said she couldn’t remember them anymore so than I shouted for sometimes it be that way which she played…I was pretty ecstatic about that  I thought there was a lot of chemistry between jewel and steve, they seemed to get on really well, during YWMFM Jewel went over to steve and took over the frets of the guitar while steve did the strumming which was really nice. After down so long Jewel called the crowd to come and stand up closer to the front and I managed to get right to the front row, leaning against the stage right in front of Jewel so I managed fingers crossed to get some cracking photos of her, Steve seemed to be enjoying himself doing little dances throughout the last part of the set. It was nice seeing Jewel on electric guitar too, I think it suited her  Overall I think Jewel seemed to be enjoying herself, the crowd really enjoyed themselves I heard people saying it was the best concert they’d been to and they’d not realised how good Jewel actually was. I did manage to grab an autograph from Jewel on my programme as she walked to her tour bus, she signed I think maybe 4 or 5 peoples things, carrying on walking as she did them…that moment all went by pretty quick, I was hoping to catch Steve but they all walked by so fast, hopefully I’ll catch them in Bristol ­ is anyone else going there? I know this post is a bit rambly and I’ve probably missed out loads of stuff which I could write about but I’m a little spaced out at the moment …I’m all drugged up on painkillers cause on my way home from the concert I ran for my train (always make sure your shoelaces are tied) and manage to go flying and do something horrible to my knee and had to go to casualty hehe. Ok well that’s it I think …anyone else off to see Jewel, you’re in for a treat  There is a small Jewel concert review in this months Q magazine I’ve been off the mailing list for a few days so I’m sorry if this is repeated Jewel ­ Alaska-born folk-pop diva (and sometime poet) Jewel arrives in England with a full band, as opposed to her early one-woman-and-her-guitar approach to live performance. Although her set contains a brief acoustic interllude, including requests from the audience, the majority is made up from tracks from her second album, Spirit. Feisty and confident live, Jewel indulges in plenty of onstage vamping and builds up a strong rapport with her predominantly femaie audience through lengthy song introductions and anecdotes. Altogether a more rocking experience than her faintly precious records would suggest It was awarded 2 stars out of 5 I also noticed in the same magazine, an album review for Cindy Lee Berryhill for Living Room 16 Potent acoustic tour de force from left field San Diego singer ­ songwriter. Kick started by a bunch of Internet using Jewel fanatics, the concept of the living room concert, whereby the artist turns up at someones house and does the show right there, has taken off big time among a sub-set of the American indie folk punk fraternity. The sixteenth such performance from Cindy LeeBerryhill took place in San Francisco in front of an invited audience of just 20 select souls. The joshing between song banter heightens the sense of cliquey intimacy , but does threaten to stray the wrong side of rambling over-indulgence. The songs themselves strap jagged and witty observational couplets on top of engagingly hook-laden melodies and winningly explore the space between Berryhill’s acoustic guitar, harmonica and keyboard and Renata Bratts cello. Overall the best of these songs Diane, Damn I wish I was a man, This way up, look at that grin ­ invite strange visions of a counter-cultural Carole Bayer Sager swapping wisecracks with Randy Newman. Best plump up those cushions in readiness for the upcoming UK tour. And this one got 3 stars. Also there was a concert preview in this weeks Bristol evening post prior to Jewels concert next Tuesday Shining Star Alaskan singer songwrite Jewel completes her frist British tour (don’t know how they worked that one out…isn’t this her third set of shows here now?) with a show at the Colston Hall next Tuesday. Jewel Kilcher started her career playing gigs in local coffee-houses in San Diego and this resulted in her being signed by Atlantic Records. Her 1995 debut album Pieces of You went on to sell nearly 10 million copies and this success has been matched by her critically acclimed second album, Spirit. Spirit was produced by Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard and her backing musicians include Sheryl Crow drummer Brian Mcleod and veteran Afro-Cuban jazz percussionist Luis Conte who has also worked with Madonna. Okie dokes that’s it for now Hi everyone, theres a review in todays newspaper ‘The Times’ on I think page 24 of section 2. Theres no picture or anything but it’s a really good reivew of the albert hall gig, I’ll try type it up if I get the time. Also a preview of Tuesdays show in my local newspaper The Mercury. Its just a small town free paper so its not the most amazing thing in the world so I laughed so hard when I read this cause it’s just so badly written although pretty complimentary…. Theres also a nice quite big pic of Jewel in b/w This ones a gem Music lovers have a chance to see a very special singer on Tuesday May 11th at the Colston Hall Bristol. Jewel is the best thing to come out of Alaska since Northern Exposure and she has rescued folk music for young people. Her mainly acoustic first album Pieces Of You was released when she was only 19 years old and it demonstrated an almost creepy talent. She is currently promoting her new album Spirit, a strong pop record with full band arrangements produced by Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard. It still has all the usual Jewel trademarks (her vocal gymnastics and delicate guitar playing) and one track features the distinctive and nimble bass playing of Flea from the ‘chilli Peppers. On both albums her lyrixcs and subject matter have an uncompromising naivity which is engaging but not always comfortable (lines like ‘ I’m sensitive and I’d like to stay that way’ are enough to make most male listeners feel a little bit ashamed) She is a feminine feminist whose compassion is not just reserved for sisterhood She also sympathises with fat people, gay people and drug addicts. Her first album won an elite worldwide following and it remains to be seen if Spirit will elevate her to the status she deserves. Her name and spiritual aspirations suggest she may be stuck in an overly optimistic hippy time-warp But her music is more enjoyable, passionate and sincere than the bland songs which made Alanis Morrisette super famous for a short time. Ok that’s it….

If that happens I wish the Jewel has many songs there, and my favorite artist are also included like Steve Poltz, Sarah McLachlan, Duncan Sheik, Matchbox-20, The Corrs and some of the cool artist there in atlantic-rocords. That's all. And how i wish the Jewel's 3rd single will be Deep Water or Absence of Fear. I think it will be the next hit. Do u agreed with me?

It was so coool meeting up with fellow fans (big hellos to Chris, Mike, Michiel, Roel & Lotti). You'll have read Michiel & Roel's reviews of the night, so I won't bore you with more. The whole day was fantastic, The band were really friendly and very generous with their time both before and after the show. Steve Poltz just cracks me up, man! I don't think the guy can say anything serious! He signed my copy of ANWA before the show, and then signed One Left Shoe. Jewel also signed my copy of ANWA (groovy, baby, yeah!). I also got all the rest of the band's autographs too. As well as that, I got photographed with Tony (bass) and Doug (guitar). Doug told us after the show that the next album will be started fairly soon and will have a lot of live stuff on it. Lee Greene is also a top guy, taking the time to talk to us whenever he had to leave the building for the tour bus. I have a couple of pics with him as well (I'll send him one, naturally!!) A big thank you must go out to the BBC unit recording the show that night, coz they let us listen to the soundcheck from the van! I hope that she is coming back to the UK next year - I am going to endeavour to see all the shows next time! Take good care, one and all Liam Mcloughlin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 13:04:52 +0200 From: "michiel" Subject: MTV Europe plays her new single Down So Long Finally Hi Jewelfans In Europe, Just a short newsflash : The new single of Jewel Down so Long is finally on MTV Europe to be watched.

Last years jewel concerts were very original. No other artist will do two complete different shows in two days. I have one nice memory of 9 and 10 November 1997. It was Amsterdam(Holland) and Gent(Belgium). Have a go at the setlists and you will see what I mean. "Normally" a band has one setlist and changes one or two songs a night. Melissa Etheridge (my alltime favorite) almost never changes a song in her European part of the world tour. And I DONT CARE ! I love Jewel's music and I love Mel's music and I don't care what they play as long as they will continue for years :-)) I really mean it. All songs are just great and you can't turn back years. If we are talking about differences in concerts in Europe and USA we can talk for hours. 1 example: all the Melissa concerts in the USA are seated concerts !! In Europe people are rocking on their feet and in the arena not one single chair could be found. Making a setlist is not just writing names on a piece of paper so I have respect for the way Jewel is dealing it. During the six song interval, what they call "----SOLO----" at the setlist, she may do what she wants. If she prefers to take the safe route and play for the most beautifull songs in her vision I have respect for that. There will be one day she will sing >your< alltiome favorites but I think we EDA's should be patient with it. At the 24th of may the pinkpop festival is in progress. Jewel will play in a tent as big as..... well 18.000 people capacity....... so HUGE. I spoke to Doug(guitarist) and told him that I have doubts whether Jewel can get the crowd going. What I saw during the London concert only the last twenty rocking minutes passed the "pinkpop-test" in my opinion. Doug was looking at me like I said something weird. I saw ten editions of this festival and I know if an artist has to reach for everything to make it to a success. Doug asked how many people are at pinkpop and what sort of festival it was. Probably they have no idea what they are going to do...... He laughed but said that they will do their best and I laughed while saying that they should skip the first 40 minutes of this concert :-)))) We will see but I hope for you guys in the states that Jewel will have another set next month. You will have a great time anyway and my advice is: buy those tix and GO! You really won't regret it !
