It's rare to hear on the list anyone seeing more than 2 or 3 of her shows stateside< I agree.

My hybernation from the EDA list is wearing off(yawn). Heres some suggestions for February and Spring 2k1(sounds like a Calvin Klein fragrance): A Living Room Concert-(raises hand) I'll host one again! I promise Carlos and Toca find the right house this time! :) We aren't gonna live in this house for much longer, gonna move into a smaller one probably this summer. The Vierling have a phone! I now need to call at the right time, rack up those long distance charges and scheme with Jason on a few things. The only problem is that he is never home when I call! Argh! hehe Amy's suggestion- a food bank volunteer day- sounds good...a Los Angeles or Orange County bank would work just fine.

Unfortunately, it seems the Angelfood Bank (AFB) will soon die, and it may be dead already.

Chris Groves pointed out that the Smoe server where we post our messages to has been giving troubles. I know this is the cause of the trouble, so i didn't want to blame the listowner. Mike i hope you accept my appologies. I think what i meant to say by Jewel not coming to Europe was that she hardly is doing promotional activities when she is not touring. For example Madonna or another stupid singer (hmmm she isn't but okay america likes her..) Britney S is doing so much more promotional activities. Jewel's second book Chasing Down the Dawn was hardly promoted in Europe or in any other part of the world. I think in my wisdom then that Jewel is only focussing on America. I think that is strange, because Jewel's live concerts/performances are absolutely brilliant. Nobody can really be such a great gifted entertainer as Jewel. It is just that Jewel has to write one song that really put her on the worldwide musicmap. Of course she has some great songs that people know such as Foolish Games, You were meant for me and not to forget Hands. I personally agree that Jewel's next record is really going to be crucial for her breakthrough in Europe and other parts of the world. No doubt that Jewel has been succesfull so far in her life, and so long she is happy than we fans are happy but we would love to see Jewel achieving more appreciations for her work and her written songs. I hope 2001 will be a great year to see a lot of Jewel concerts in Europe wherever they will be held i think i will going to see them.

Soundsstrange Yeah, ummmm...Jewel has never been where I live (Halifax, NS)...I think if she decides to do some more touring, she should do a Canadian tour and go to the East Coast.

None American > >artist really waits such a long time to come back to Europe. > > Hate to disagree with you, but I couldn't disagree more. "19 months of no Europe shows" basically means she took a year off from touring. MOST artists take 2 or 3 years or more OFF from touring. Jewel takes one. (and I really have no idea how you can say "none American artist really waits such a long time to come back to Europe", when in fact MOST do. Do the math...."19 months of no shows in Europe" means a year off. I am quite certain not too many American artists tour Europe every year. The J-team pretty much said in late 1999, early 2000 that she likely would not be touring in 2000, and indeed that was the case, as she only had a few shows peppered in the Calif area in late 2000. Be grateful she's been to Europe nearly every (if not every) major tour she's had the last 5 years. > > > > I hope only the > >opposite and that Jewel is really coming soon to Europe again to give > >concerts. > > If she indeed is recording again soon (if not now), there of course will be an album-promoting tour, which I am almost sure will hit overseas...and I'm sure since Europe is such a small area compared to the USA, yoiu'll be able to hit at least a dozen shows. Folks here in the USA will be lucky if they get to see more than one. > > > >i don't know why my mail on the jewellist about the question to send in > >Jewel as an artist for lineup of Pinkpop 2001 was rejected by the owner of > >this list...i really couldn't understand his actions or reasons to reject > >the mail. > > Hmmmmmm, maybe because it wasn't?

MrBB DID say it would be a few weeks before any news came along. (just checked...it's been about 4 weeks). The book promoting is over. The pre-holiday TV appearances are over. Now she is likely recording or soon will be. No updates are warranted as there are no updates.

I was wondering if there are any EDAs around there. I'll be there from May to August, making this extremely far in advance, but I'd like to know of any great hangouts or "must-see"s :-) I'm only going to have one day off a week, so I want to make it all worthwhile.

Sounds strange First of all, happy new year to everyone. As I saw a lot of people I know were writing on this subject, I'll add my 2 cents too... > >I think you'll find that Europe is LARGER than the USA, > >and it's going to be far more difficult to follow Jewel > >across Europe due to having to cross international > >borders and because of the many different languages > >that we have. ><<>> >being in western Europe......my main point was it seems a few of you guys >over there manage to see at least a half dozen shows or more because of >the many she does in a region, versus the one in NYC, one in Boston, one >in Philadelphia etc etc I don't think there's something with the 'distance'. If Jewel were living writing/recording in Europe, appearing on europeean TVs,... They/we would not have followed her to see all those concerts. The fact is her europeean shows are a Rare thing... and in a short period, we try to get the more we could. People in USA can miss shows because they could see her later,as she's still perdorming in USA. >she does in the states. It's rare to hear on the list anyone seeing more >than 2 or 3 of her shows stateside. >None the less my #1 main point was she took 2000 off from touring so it's >not at all unusual for her to not have been in Europe for 19 months or so. >It's the same for most of the world (except California). Plus the fact >that most artists do not tour every single year, so a 19 month or larger >touring gap in any specific region is not at all out of the ordinary. The 2nd fact is that I don't think that a 2000 tour would be benefit for her... She's not still under the POY release effect... and her last album isn't really a success here. We should see a -large- world tour following the realease of a new popular album, or after a lot of albums. (Including the 2nd condition that she would have sold a large number of albums in Europe... and a new 'country style' album could not work in Europe) So we must wait.

Just to remind you.. when Spirit came out Jewel did go on a promotional trip to Europe in early 1999, she then returned for the tour. However, she has had NOTHING to promote in Europe for the last 19 months (the book didn't get released there..), therefore she's not going to go to europe for a promotional-only visit.. there would be no point. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 11:48:35 EST From: Fredsteve@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Re: jewel-digest V6 #14 In a message dated 1/14/01 1:14:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, owner-jewel-digest@smoe.org writes: > > MOST :) Phish toured for nearly 17 years straight without a break.
