Subject: * RS show on DVD Rumor has it that this show WILL be on DVD eventually for those wanting a copy. I don't know if this will include Violet Eyes or not (as some said it was left off of the VHS tape), but I've been told that several radio shack managers have stated they will be getting DVD copies of this show in the near future. So everyone with DVD players anyway won't have to go and beg the RS employees for tape dubs.

Hi, Yeah, i am thinking that there were diffrent things... the one I saw Jewel did not talk at all (well, they flashed the radio shack thing in between songs) and some people have mentioned see "Near you always" while i did not see it at all.. So, I'm wondering (a) Is there more than one version? (b) How many versions are there? anyway ya'll take care rowdius ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 10:28:12 -0700 (PDT) From: kevin maguire Subject: * Jewel needs to tour again... As i sat there watching the concert last night, and reading all the excitement about the RS concert, i realize that we need Jewel to tour again. I totally miss her in concert, and miss doing those Road trips of 800 plus miles (From Santa Cruz, which is below San Francisco, To seeing Jewel in Portland, OR.) Just the up close and personal expericence... all the hype, Steve Poltz, and Doug P. and her Band,...isnt that what summer is for Concerts? having Fun, Rocking Out, Road Trips, Meeting People... On a side note, Jewel mention that she was sick, or something the night of the RS concert. When i saw her in Portland OR. that was a week or so before Christmas, she was also sick then, i also think i read something that she was fighting phenonmia (sp?) or just a bad cold for sometime now....anybody know more about that? Peace Out! kevin the italian angel.... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 13:29:37 EDT From: "Jupiter Orbiting" Subject: * RadioShack.com...

I don't think the problem is that they targeted the wrong audience, they would have had the same problem if Paul McCartney had done it too. The matter of the fact is, if you advertise a free concert on your TV's, the people who are going to show up are going to be Jewel fans, not people who want to buy a TV. Anyone who wanted a TV would probably not wait until the Jewel concert, come in and watch it and then buy it. Even if it was Paul McCartney, and the audience was possibly a little older (although we're obviously not all teenagers on this list!) it would be the same thing: the people who went to the Radioshack would be there to watch Paul, not to buy a TV. I think maybe the Radioshack people didn't think this out very well. If the radioshacks up here in Canada had been playing it, I really doubt that after I watched the concert I'd be thinking "Gee...that concert was so great, it must be the TV!! I have to buy one!!". Honestly, I'm sure that not even one Jewel fan who went in there to watch the concert bought a TV. But hey, maybe someone will email me back saying they bought one and prove me wrong!!!! I would really love to get a copy of the Radioshack concert, but sadly I have no angelfood to trade, if anyone is willing to help me out with this or any other angelfood, email me and let me know if we can work something else out!

It will be called (**drum roll**) Rare Jewels. Thanks to everyone who voted. Secondly, I would really like to include a high quality version of Stephenville and Violet Eyes. Does anyone think they can help me with this? What would be best if if anyone had the proper equipment to make an audio tape from a video. Please write me privately if you have either song on vidoe or high quality audio. Thanks very much. My goal is to have this tape ready for branching in a month at the latest. But I need your help!

Why does it matter? this bring back to much reminiscence to the old Jewel pregnant issue. She has always looked great, and forever will. The microscopic eye is so superficial at times. Her weight has never been what it is all about, rather her beauty is ever exuded in her spirit and ways of Ty, particularly beauty,charity,senuality, and spirituality. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 15:33:19 -0400 (EDT) From: AngelStandinBy@webtv.net (*~!AnastasiA!~*) Subject: * repeat at RS hi angels! a lot of you were sayin that they were gonna play the concert again... well, when are the dates and times?? i didnt get to go last night 8( because my mom was blah so i asked (well, begged) if i can go because i heard they were gonna show it again so can anyone e mail all the dates and times when theyll be showing the concert?? thanks SOOO much!! 8) love - -anastasia The summer angeL ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 15:02:07 -0400 (EDT) From: zanita@webtv.net (Susana Figueiredo) Subject: * Ask anf you shall receive. ;) Hi Angels, Since I had to work last night (I work 2nd shift) and couldn't make it to the Radio Shack concert last night, I decided to stop by RS today. I asked if they still had any posters left, and guess what? I walked away w/ poster and free microwave popcorn. :-) The popcorn read: "I CAME to the rca digital entertainment center launch party: I SAW jewel in concert: I LOVED this free popcorn." So, it's not too late to still get your free poster, and who knows, maybe even some free popcorn. LOL Does anyone have this concert on video?

While Jewel and Steve were sing YWMFM together, she was like "Oh my god, they are in love" and I tried explaining to her the Jewel was living with her b/f in Texas, but she insisted that Jewel and Steve were definetly in love. I personally think they are soul mates, but its funny to see how positive she was about it.:o) The concert was great, and the people were so nice, they are making me a tape, and gave me a bunch of posters, and are gonna give me the big poster in front, at the beginning of July. It was so cool. That's all I have to say for now! :o) Juliet ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 16:24:20 EDT From: "Valerie Lofaso" Subject: * Re: Radio Shack Concert Poster I also have an extra poster from Radio Shack.

Fellow cherubim, Well, happy (almost) summer! (Eleven more days, anyway.) I hope everyone is enjoying the season at least as much as I am, and, from the sounds of the Radio Shack concert, it seems that's the case. :) You wouldn't believe how much of a pick-me-up it was to go through all these messages about how awesome the concert and, in most situations, the experience itself was (sorry yours wasn't more pleasant, Rowdy!). It almost made up for not being there, myself. :) Early this morning, I dug out a CD that I'm sure all of you are familiar with: Jewel's holiday collection. Yeah, it's no longer December, but I realized that I've missed listening to this truly beautiful album. It may be pushing ninety outside, but inside it's as though it's the most wonderful time of the year all over again! What I wanted to suggest is that, if it's easily accessible, everyone take out their "Joy" CD and listen to it today. I mean, if you're anything like me, your poor CD's been gathering dust and feeling neglected for close to six months -- show it that you haven't forgotten about it! =) There's nothing like a little holiday spirit to beat the heat (or make the cold more bearable, if the weather's chilly where you are!). Here's to sipping lemonade and singing "Jingle Bells"! :) - --Jessica, the angel at your table ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 23:03:05 EDT From: BadAssLAS2@aol.com Subject: * Re: Posters Hi everyone, I haven't written before, but I've got some good news. The guy at Radio Shak gave me about 50 of those little posters. Also, the guy gave me the origional copy of the concert. I'll be generous if I can figure out how to dub tapes. As for the posters, it would be nice for S&H coverage. Thanks for letting me be a part of Jewel. Just get back to me on the angelfood, if you want it.

Oh, and if you couldnt make it, they're showing it all this month, I persuaded the manager to make me a tape of the concert, so try it out, and I bet they still have posters left. They got 100 in my town, and it's tiny!

I went to the concert like all faithful EDAs and ended up the only one there. So, I just sat down right on the ground and watched the whole thing. The only employee in the store gave me a chair to sit down in about halfway through and offered to rewind the tape that he recorded to see the first few minutes that had started early before I got there. After it was over (and what a beautiful concert it was!), he offered me all of the posters and gave me a bag with like 8 or 9 Jewel popcorns in it so I was excited! I only took about 30 of the posters (not wanting to be rude, you understand) and was excited. I'm going to cut out the picture of Jewel and wallpaper a section of my room with them. I came, made my stand as a Jewel fan proudly, and sat there until it was done. That was the best feeling in the world: being the only one who seemed to care and loving it! I hope everybody else's experience was just as awesome! - -Nate the 'hooked again on Jewel and going back to listen to ALL of my angelfood and relive it as if for the first time and love every minute of it' angel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 20:46:08 EDT From: Justduff@aol.com Subject: * NJC: Living Rooms and Musicians Wanted Hi, It's Duff and I have begun to set up a series of Living Room Tours for July through October and you should sign up! Currently I am sending out Stephanie Hewett and along the way various musicians have been signing up to play at these special events. - ----------------------------- Thanks to Mr. BB here's a history of the LRT phenomenon. Back in April of 97, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth Hummel were on a US tour together and doing a gig in Cambridge, MA. Their next gig, two nights later, was scheduled for Albany, NY (a very long drive). They discovered that the Albany venue mistakenly advertised their gig on the wrong date, so rather than drive all that way for a certain wash-out gig, they contacted members of the Jewel list and suggested doing an impromptu gig in the Boston area, if The EDAs could provide a venue and there was enough interest. Amazingly, within 24 hours The Snyder family in Boston volunteered their home and approximately 25 people from around New England descended on the Snyders home with food, drink and piles of audio and video equipment. At first, everyone was a little anxious not knowing what to really expect, especially the musicians. As we eased into the performance, everybody relaxed and began totally getting into the spontaneity of the moment. This intimate approach dramatically changed the dynamics between performer and audience. The musicians were totally getting off on the fact that everyone really was there to listen and the audience experienced a "one on one" closeness not experienced in a "traditional setting" type performance. Total communication between us all inspired Cindy Lee and Elizabeth to play for almost 4 solid hours and everyone (including them) left a bit stunned and amazed at how great it was! It was certainly the most memorable night of their tour. Shortly after this, the musicians, myself and several other friends here on this list, began discussing the viability of doing a revolutionary approach to touring and somehow facilitate more of what happened in Boston. The idea was to cut out "all the suits", i.e., management, promoters, agents, etc., and book a summer tour directly into fans homes. I won't get into all the details but this was done and it was a huge success! Shows were booked in various EDA homes around Northeastern USA, promoted by fans on the Internet and a ttended by hundreds of people over the course of the tour. Every date was incredibly special in its own way. Some shows were actually in living rooms and several were outdoors in yards. Each attendee paid $10 toward the musicians. This "LRT Concept" has taken focus primarily with San Diego and Boston area musicians, but is continually expanding. Musicians who've participated in LRT gigs include members of The Rugburns, Joy Eden Harrison, Gregory Page, Lisa Sanders, Mary Dolan, Randi Driscoll, Cindy Wasserman, Peggy Watson, Jody Blackwell, Jenny Bruce, Renatta Bratt, Kevin So, Eric Gerber and of course Elizabeth Hummel and Cindy Lee Berryhill (and now even CLB's entire Garage Orchestra). Almost everything so far has been recorded and there exists an extensive archive of the LRTs so far. Some video clips will eventually be on various websites and some of the recordings have been released (with authorization) on the "Future Folklore" tape series, which itself was inspired by that 1st "LRT gig" in Boston. Other authorized releases will be forthcoming. This "LRT scene" continues to generate incredible interest. Many musicians have expressed interest for future LRT's, including fairly high profile artists like Freedy Johnston, Patty Griffin and Tara MacLean. Every musician who's done it, definitely wants to do it again. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently working with Stephanie Hewett to hear her music via MP3 or more infor check out her website at www.stephaniehewett.com. There are some people born into this world with a special talent as a musician. As the years pass, life seeks to find this talent and ignite its expression. For Stephanie, music lives inside her spirit and is released through thythm and harmony of her songs. Born in rural Kansas, Stephanie grew up in a small farming community. She began piano lessons at age 5 and drew inspiration from jazz and rock classics, the sound Stephanie would later claim as her own was emerging. It was during college that longed to leave the orchestra, where she played a bass, and let loose to experiment without boundaries. Stephanie broke away from what she felt were the stiff rules of standard music and is currently working on a new album due out this summer. - ------------------------------- A Living Room Show is an informal concerts, usually in people's homes, where 20 or more people can sit comfortably to enjoy an initmate concert. Its a great way to bring a musician to your town. Living Room Host Provide: Space that can fit at 20 or more folks comfortable. Can be in your home or even a local community center, meeting space, your garage, or outside. 20 or more music-loving guests ($10 suggested donation per person) Electricity, help unloading and other small tasks the day of the concert. Maybe drinks and/or food. Maybe not. E-mail me with any questions you might have or for a few various ideas about how to set up a show check out these websites. http://www.island.net/~oldfolk/housecon.htm http://alanr.lpl.org/ProductionTips.html http://ifolk.org/hc/houseconcerts-02.html#TopOfPage Musicians: Please respond as soon as possible to find out about the nearest show to you and coordinating on the show dates/times.
