Dion, along with her two daughters Nicole and Kaitlin, went to last Saturdays 8 p.m. Jewel concert at the Hampton Beach Ballroom Casino. The singer performed two concerts that evening at the Casino. People who saw the first said Jewel was at the top of her game and said it was a "rocking show." Those who had tickets to the second show saw something quite different, according to Dion. "People were literally walking out of the show," she said. "As soon as she came out, she began to insult us. We thought she was joking at first because it was kind of weird." Witnesses said Jewel went on a tirade of insults from poking fun at fat people to others with no teeth. At one point, she asked the audience to yell requests and then told them to "shut the hell up." "I saw her live in Boston and it was the greatest show Ive ever been to," Dion said. "I dont know if she was having a nervous breakdown or what. She told everyone to stop looking at her teeth and look at her breasts." Jewel was on stage for about an hour and played only four to five songs. Halfway through the show, Dion said Jewel began to talk about Zoloft and Paxil for about 10 minutes. "I dont know what that was all about," said Nicole Dion, who came from Canada to see the show. "I dont know if she was on it or what. Maybe she didnt take it." Dion said Jewel stopped in the middle of her trademark song, "Who will save your soul," because everyone was singing along. "She said, I would have never guessed you all know the words. I dont know if she was kidding or what." Nicole Dion said the entire experience made her no longer want to be a Jewel fan. Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom officials said they have not received negative feedback about the show, but radio station 107.1 WERZ that sponsored the concert did. WERZ Operations Manager Michael ODonnell said he heard comments about Jewels strange behavior during her second performance. "I got a lot of negative feedback from people who attended the second show," ODonnell said. "They were upset with some of the comments they heard her make. "She said she saw a better audience at a barroom brawl and that all drinkers and smokers were sinners." Dion said she doesnt blame the Casino, but believes something should be done to make it up to them. She said not only was the show bad, but people were not allowed to buy drinks or smoke a cigarette in the smoking room. Kristen MacKinnon, a manager at the Casino, said it was Jewels request that smoking not be allowed at the show. Alcohol was served, but not in the main stage area because Jewel requested no waitresses in the main ballroom while she was on stage. Dion said Jewel came out for an encore, but instead of singing one of her hit songs, she yodeled for a minute and then left the stage. When the crowd left the Casino, several people drove by Jewels tour bus and screamed obscenities, Dion said. MacKinnon said no one has called for a refund or to complain, and said both shows were a success. "The people who I talked to very much enjoyed the show," said MacKinnon, who admitted to not seeing the second show. "The only problem we ran into was that a lot of people who had tickets for the first show were in traffic and couldnt get here on time." MacKinnon said they tried to accommodate those who showed up late by allowing them to see the second show even though it was already sold out. ODonnell said DJs from WERZs morning show, Kevin Matthews, Susanne Lewis and Kid Cruise, were supposed to introduce Jewel and plug their show, but never got the opportunity. Jewel went on without any introduction from the DJs. ODonnell said the complaints he received enticed him to call Jewels management team. "They basically told me that sometimes she does a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor during her shows," ODonnell said. Calls to Jewels management for comment went unreturned. ODonnell said hes not sure what happened between the first and second show. This is the second time WERZ has sponsored a Jewel concert. The first was in 1997 when she was beginning to hit the top of the charts. "I feel bad for the fans that paid $40 because they wanted to be entertained. All I can say is that I hoped everyone a good time. And if they didnt, I want them to remember we cant predict what happens." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 09:48:49 EDT From: GSBrumley@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Bad concert?

I hear it can be depressing, I know when some of my friends hit that age they were a bit sad about leaving the twenties behind them! LoL Who knows? Just taking a stab in the dark here.

I was at the 8PM show at Hampton Beach and I must say that it was dissappointing. The crowd was rowdy, drunk and seemed to care less about who was on stage than what was in their cup. That article wasn't entirely accurate. She played more than 4-5 songs, it's just that everything that she sang was from an album with the exception of Cold Song and the Yodeling Song. If Jewel seemed grouchy it was probably because she couldn't even hear herself playing. She did not stop in the middle of any song despite getting alot of feedback during YWMFM (I think it was YWMFM). The story that she told was the same one that she's been telling if you look on her playlists. When she said the think about looking at her breasts instead of her teeth she was telling the story about the dentist who wanted to get her in his chair. She said that she wanted to tell him to look at her breasts not her teeth. That shows how much people were paying attention to her if they thought she was telling the audience to look at her breasts. She still sang really well although she did cut it a little short at just around an hour. I think that we all know that Jewel is much more responsive to an attentive audience than one who is there just for the booze. I didn't hear her say anything about drinkers and smokers being sinners. I did see people at the tables right in front of her that kept getting up to get a drink and by the end of the show could barely stand on their own. A couple stopped right in front of our table to take a picture of her and then proceeded to make out right in front of everybody. Out of all the Jewel concerts that I've been to, this was definately the worst. I even spent the extra money to do the Velvet Rope thing. That was just as much of a dissapointment since there were two shows that night it seemed that there was just enough time to pose next to Jewel for a picture then move along. The best thing that I could take a picture of was her guitars and because my camera hiccuped that picture didn't even come out. Oh well, enough griping on my part I just wanted to point out that the poor review of the Jewel concert wasn't entirely true but that it wasn't the best concert I've seen either and it wasn't because she was in a bad mood due to turning thirty. I did get a chance to meet some other EDA's and had people to talk to who were just as dissapointed as my husband and I were. I don't think that Jewel will be returning to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom ever. Ann Yahoo!
