Incredibly rude. It really sucked that the sound cut out twice too. I could see Jewel singing, but I could not hear it!! And you could really tell that she was putting her heart into it. Jewel was amazing though. My boyfriend was a fan before but now he says he is completely hooked :) I got another one. hehe :) I wish that I had seen more edas. I was looking. Where there other people wearing the "got wings" shirt? But I am glad I got to meet you Eric; first eda so far that I have met.:) Anyway, I did not think I could be any more impressed with Jewel, but here I am. :) Emily "Where does love go if it can't find a home?" -Jewel On Mon, 15 Jul 2002 00:16:11 -0500 "Eric L." writes: > Hi all, just got home from the Chicago concert.

Hello EDAs, This is a follow up to Rowdy's post about mine and Sarah's LRC this coming weekend (and Monday). I just wanted to personally invite everyone to come and hang out and enjoy Luna's music. You don't need to bring anything...I'll have snacks for everyone and maybe a few drinks (; hehe. I know there are some EDAs from Southwest Texas and there's gotta be more EDAs at UT Austin! Also EDAs coming from the Houston or Dallas shows. Anyway, if you'd like to come, email me and I'll send directions, my address, and number. Thanks! Some of us may even want to carpool to the Jewel show afterwards. - - Will ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 09:04:31 +0200 From: "Massimo Foschi" Subject: [EDA] unlucky italian fan Ciao, i' m an unlucky italian fan of Jewel that could not see her both in 1999 and in 2002 because she was sick/injured and she cancelled the Italian shows. Is there anybody that can trade (also for blank if is possible) one CDR on the present tour...so that i can at lest listen her wonderfoul voice singing life the songs of "This Way" ? thank you Max ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 03:19:40 EDT From: GroovGerLC@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Re: Chicago Show I thought the show was great. The Chicago Theatre is beautiful. Jewel is so skinny! I never realizeed how much weight she has lost. I wish I knew her secret she looks amazing. She also sounde amazing. There was a couple a few rows ahead of me that would not sit down. They really almost got their asses kicked. Anyway the show was great if anyone taped any of it please email me.

Living in Australia and not being able to see her live (well not yet anyway, but I live in anticipation of her travelling here sometime soon) and having seen her what seems like absolute ages ago when she did her "Spirit" tour I really feel that I am getting to know her and actually experience her at her best from all the fantastic reviews you are all posting. I must say too that not having hardly any angelfood and absolutely nothing of her early days (i.e pre POY) ,and living all the way "Down Under" I feel very jealous of all the trades you are able to do with each other! But please keep posting all your wonderful Jewel experiences as it certainly helps me feel like I am experiencing her tour as well.

"Jewel dull with slick band but shines in acoustic setting By Joshua Klein If Jewel Kilcher never recorded a note, she would probably still be more interesting than most pop stars. Her Alaskan-set history is worthy of Jack London, and her alternative upbringing spent busking in the streets and playing coffeehouses in California no doubt provided an education that no school could match. Jewel also possesses a beautiful voice that she wields with restraint and she regularly exhibits an earthy disposition, even as she sells millions of records. Yet several factors have kept Jewel from being taken completely seriously. She's prone to bouts of insufferable poetryher best-selling collection was actually titled "A Night Without Armor"and she often epitomizes the deadly combination of preciousness and pretentiousness. Make no mistake about one thing, though, Jewel is tough. A few months ago she broke a rib and her collarbone when she was thrown from a horse, but she decided to go ahead with most of her tour anyway. At the Chicago Theatre on Sunday night, she admitted to the capacity crowd that she still needed to keep guitar playing to a minimum (doctor's orders), and she spent most of the night rooted to one spot. But never once did she complain about the pain and discomfort those high notes must still cause her. The pain and discomfort came instead from Jewel's songs, mostly pretty but innocuous tales of love, heartbreak and understanding set against middle-of-the-road musical backdrops. The first third of Jewel's set stuck to what might best be called her crossover material, pretty songs such as "Standing Still" and "Hands" that touch on everything from country to adult contemporary but above all don't ruffle any feathers. Jewel seemed stiff, and while the slick band offered plenty of professional support, the music came across as somewhat sterile. Predictably, Jewel was best when she was doing what she knew best: performing songs such as "Little Sister," "Morning Song" and the cute polka "Cold Song" alone with her acoustic guitar. The acoustic set also delivered the show's sole magical moment. In the middle of the heartrending "Violet Eyes," the sound went out. And for a few minutes, all that could be heard in the eerily silent Theatre was Jewel's whisper. But the conviction and emotion in her face spoke volumes, and when the sound returned and the song concluded, the singer, oblivious to the glitch, was met with rapturous applause. Later, a loose and limber Jewel played her hits "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "You Were Meant for Me" as well as a pair of fresh songs. If the new songs were any indication, Jewel's big recording budgets rob much of her music of its emotional center. She would be better served by a more spontaneous approach." _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 10:39:32 EDT From: EveryDayAngelGSB@aol.com Subject: [EDA] NJC: We're Leavin...Leavin Again! Okay guys, we're off to Bearsville here in a couple hours, thought we'd say "Ciao!" to all on the list, and "See ya soon!" to those that will be there! Aside from Tammy, Rob, Ametia, and Katerina, I think we'll be the first ones there, we're due to arrive at 5am on Wednesday. Heck, we may even be there before the Campbells! See ya'll next week! Gina and Cheyenne The Road-Tripping from Cincinnati to Bearsville Crazy Angels ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 10:35:50 -0500 From: T H Subject: [EDA] Chicago Show The best thing about this show was the Theatre itself. What a beautiful and historic piece of architecture. Dates back to 1921 and was an old movie theatre that my parents used to see movies in. Walking around the street corner and seeing the Chicago Theatre sign lit up and "JEWEL - sold out" was cool. The concert itself was the end of my fabulous Chicago weekend vacation with my girlfriend. It was a picture perfect weekend weather-wise. Stayed at the Embassy Suites - Lakefront, took in Michigan Ave (The Magnificent Mile) more than once, the Navy Pier, the beach, a trip up the Hancock building (94 stories and 1000 ft up in only 40 seconds - what a view. The open air skywalk is cool - no windows, just a stainless steel fence), a river cruise on the Chicago River, and a nostalgic trip north past Wrigley Field and through Skokie (where I visited grandparents often as a youngster). Ok, this has nothing to do with Jewel, but someone with Chicago roots might be able to relate. The first thing that struck me about Jewel when she took the stage was how thin she has gotten. She looked good though...nice complexion. This show seemed a little more subdued that her 1999 tour. Maybe it's because of the venue atmosphere......the smaller indoor theatre compared to the outdoor amphitheater. Not many people standing until her rock anthems, though I pitied those on the right side of the stage where it seemed several people were standing in front throughout. I noticed one young woman standing in the "pit"area just left of center stage that must have annoyed those directly behind her. She was the only one standing, but she finally did sit down after a few songs. Personally, I had no problems with the people in front of me. Ok, the sound dropped out twice. I was a bit surprised I still couldn't hear Jewel singing, even a little bit, considering I was in the 3rd row (7th, counting the 4 rows of temporary seating) right in the middle of the stage on the aisle. Now, I did hear her scream (yell, or whatever you want to call it), but that wasn't as audible as I would have thought for as close as I was. There were a lot of older songs I would have liked to hear, but it was great hearing most of her new album live. The only disappointment was that she didn't finish with Chime Bells. I'm sure she's tired of it and thinks it's silly after all these years of doing it, but it is a crowd favorite and a great way to end her show. She has finished some shows with it so I was hoping for it here too. I did love the fact that she performed Foolish Games with only the piano. I always loved that song best that way. I did get the show taped, so I'll have to see how that comes out. I hope I got it all recorded and didn't hit the stop button accidentally. I know the mic hit the floor once, so I can only imagine what that will sound like...probably like shattering glass. I wanted to bring my camera in too, but I thought I'd only risk one thing so I went for the recorder instead. Pictures are much easier to come by. Jewel's an awesome singer with an awesome voice. Just wished she played the venues in St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati so I could see her more than once. Maybe next time. - -Tom ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

This was my first Jewel concert and my husband and I were so surprised at how funny Jewel is. As someone else mentioned, the Maxium story was pretty funny but my poor husband was all upset that she turned down the December cover. Anyway, despite the nosebleed seats and the sound cutting out a couple of times, the concert was great. I loved the way the concert felt more like a jam session that a pre-rehersed, same-as-always concert. Jewel is definitely an amazing live performer. This was the first time I have ever heard Violet Eyes -- what a great song. It even brought a tear to my eye. I also really enjoyed hearing Jewel's new songs. But does anyone know the names of them? (She did two, right?) I loved the solo set that Jewel did and it just made me want to go to one of her solo concerts even more -- too bad none will be in the area. The only disappointment was that she didn't sing Chime Bells. I was really hoping for that one. Or Race Car Driver. :) Oh, and what's the deal with all the people leaving so early?! What an insult. - -Jen ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:01:52 -0400 (EDT) From: owner-jewel@smoe.org Subject: [none] Some of you folks might recall this guy opening for Jewel during the second of her two 1997 tours.... http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/listen-up.htm David Baerwald - Here Comes the New Folk Underground (***1/2 of ****) Many a modern rock minstrel has stumbled while trying to get his groove on.
