Hi all, As almost everyone here knows, Jewel's long awaited home video project was officially completed several weeks ago after almost a year of constant work & production by Bibi, West, Frank & their extremely talented video team. Let me assure you, it'll be well worth the wait! Here's the information everyone has been waiting for: Sender: owner-jewel@smoe.org Precedence: bulk The video, titled "Jewel: A Life Uncommon", features an hour of vintage archival footage of Jewel's life both on & off the road as well as four complete song performances filmed earlier this year in Los Angeles at a private benefit concert for Higher Ground For Humanity. Interviews with those closest to Jewel & exclusive never before seen footage reveals what her life is like "behind the scenes" & all fans are sure to enjoy this. I received the "final cut" of the video a few days ago & although I've watched this project progress from the beginning & was directly involved recording the live performance audio tracks on it, I'd only seen miscellaneous sequences up until now. I've watched it in its entirety now several times. BiBi, West, Frank & their video team have achieved something truly incredible with this project. I found it insightful, educational, extremely fun & captivating from beginning to end! Jewel: A Life Uncommon primarily focuses on Jewel's life both on & off the road since mid 1995 & features plenty of never before seen footage from various stages of her career. There's home movies from her solo performances at Java Joe's, her first band tour in 1996 & classic clips from the struggle of her first European Tour. There's also plenty of "behind the scenes" footage at home, on the bus, in hotel rooms, in rehearsals, at video shoots & of course, on stage during this years Spirit Tour. Of particular note, is the incredible concert footage from the HGH Benefit in Los Angeles earlier this year. Included are complete performances of unreleased favorites "Down" & "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone" in highly electrified form with the 1999 band. Also included is the most phenomenal performance of "Barcelona"; a version which truly captures a real peak moment of this years tour. This sequence is absolutely mesmerizing! The incredible footage & editing is completely captivating! Even I, who has heard it all, am blown away by this particular performance. Also of big interest are brief interview segments with Nedra, Shane, Atz Lee, Steve Poltz, Keith Anderson & Ron Shapiro explaining how various key events in Jewel's life & career REALLY happened. I guarantee everyone will gain new insight & achieve new levels of understanding of Jewel's work by watching this video & have a very enjoyable time in the process. Much of the "behind the scenes" footage will surely amaze even the most hardcore knowledgable fans. Things the public never sees, such as the offstage comradarie of Jewel & her band, songwriting with Steve Poltz & Jewel's relationship with Atlantic Records are all explored. Footage of the incredibly difficult 1997 European Tour will surely astound American fans. A sequence of Jewel creating the song "Last Dance Rodeo" in an unheated hotel room in Norway truly captures "the muse" as its spark hits & the chorus of this unreleased fan favorite reveals itself to Jewel for the first time. A priceless moment captured for posterity. But enough on giving away content. On to what you really want to know - When will "Jewel: A Life Uncommon" be released?! You won't have to wait much longer! We're releasing it a week from next Tuesday, November 2nd, to coincide with the release of her Christmas album. You'll be able to order "Jewel: A Life Uncommon" right here direct from JMerch (at www.jeweljk.com) beginning at Midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on Monday evening November 1st/2nd at Jewel's website. It'll also be available in stores beginning November 2nd. I thank everyone who has been patient throughout the past year as work progressed on this long awaited project! And I breathe a huge sigh of relief that all of you who haven't been so patient (& have been writing me relentlessly!) will finally be very happy campers! ;-) I knew "Jewel: A Life Uncommon" was going to be a wonderful project, but the results have far exceeded my wildest expectations. Now I anxiously await your reactions!

My post about the "Jewel: A Life Uncommon" home video release is certainly no exception. Here we go! <> Suggested retail is $19.95 US dollars. <> I don't know what the exact equivalent to $19.95 is in Canadian dollars. Approximately whatever that is. <> Atlantic plans to initially distribute it to North American markets. <> Atlantic will be initially distributing the video in North American markets so it will be available in NTSC format, which is the format utilized for North American VCRs. If you feel the video should be distributed in PAL or SECAM formats, you should take a moment & write Atlantic Records to express your wishes directly to them, since they are the distributor. If enough people request this, they may consider distributing it internationally. I'd also suggest that those who want other formats please refrain from wasting your energy complaining to those who can't help you (namely me, the list or Jewel at her website) & concentrate your efforts toward convincing Atlantic Records to consider your requests. Of course anyone anywhere can easily purchase the video direct from JMerch at Jewel's website beginning at midnight on November 1st/2nd. Like all JMerch, they can ship it almost anywhere worldwide. <> No, it will only be available in Hi Fi Stereo VHS format. DVD was considered, but the much higher production costs could not be justified by the relatively small DVD demand at this time. A Jewel DVD is something being considered for the future, but not for this particular project. <> Yes, it's being distributed by Atlantic & it will be available in stores (that sell CDs &/or videotapes). <> I can't give you a list of specific stores, but any CD or video store should be able to at least order it for you if they don't already have it, once its released. If you are having any difficulty purchasing it locally, JMerch at Jewel's website will have it on release day & they will be most happy to help you. Remember, they can easily be contacted when you have any JMerch related question at customerservice@jeweljk.com. <> Yes, I think I saw you in one of the audiences! ;-) I think that answers all home video related questions. Don't forget Jewel is on The Tonight Show tonight & I hope to see a lot of familiar New England faces at the EDA Foundation Benefit at UCONN Saturday night. I'll be that old dishevelled guy lurking about. Come up & say hi if you're there! Alan ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #627 ***************************
