JUst got home from Jewel's show, once again all i can say is WOW!! I had my doubts that it wouldn;t be as good as the last one I was at because of her having a band. But the band brought out a totally new side of Jewel (at least to me), she can really rock! I agree with the earlier post about it sounding like Jewel meets Melissa E., at times her voice got raspy just like Melissa's does and boy did it sound wonderful. Her set list was more or less the same as at Bimbo's except she didn't play Adrian or Nikos (my fav song :( ) but she did play Angel Standing By, which was simply beautiful. She came out wearing a black skirt (same one from LEtterman maybe??, it was close) and a grey top. She had to tell the back rows to hush a few times but everytime she started singing they usally stopped. A couple of people kept yelling "yodel" right from the start, it got kind of annoying after awhile. But all in all I would say Jewel was definetly on tonight, as it seems she always is! And if she's coming to a town near you don't even think about passing it up!! AFter the show we waited around by her bus outside, she finally came out of the club and went into the bus for awhile. Her mom (???) told us that she would be out in a few minutes, not to leave yet. She came out, in a pair of jeans, and was very polite to everyone. Posing for picturesd, though u coudl tell she was getting a little annoyed when people didn't know how to use their cameras! Anyway, sorry for the length....I'm just sitting here smiling, thinking of how wonderful aperson Jewel is, and I hope you all get a chance to see and talk to her. I gave her a little pin from an event in Alaska, and she said is this for me? I said yes and she said "aww, how sweet, thank you." MY heart is pounding again just thinking about it.. Anyway, this is much longer that i thought it would be!

Maybe it's because we know Jessica >was a real person and the song is based more on personal experience than >Emily, who was a fictitios movie charater. Or maybe Jessica just has more >feeling. Or maybe it's the memory of that incredible, emotional live performance that we were lucky enough to experience firsthand. One of these days I'll have to dig back and try to find the review of that show I posted to the list back then. Ironically, I think I predicted it would become a favourite among Jewel fans, but how could I have known that she would never play it again? I suppose in a sense I was right since Rare Angels has made it quite popular among Jewel list members, though unknown to everyone else.

Arrive early Krista, so you can get good standing room on the floor. Actually, there are a few stand-up bar tables near the front that might count as prime space. And OK, there are a few sit-down tables around the perimeter, but I can't remember if you can see over the heads of the people standing on the floor. There's also a balcony, and you can stake out standing room along the balcony railing, but you're a long way from the stage there and I wouldn't recommend it. This is a pretty big, old concrete hall. If you can get close to the stage it will be less of an echo-fest. See you there? I'll probably be wearing a t-shirt with "89X" across the front of it.

There's also a balcony, and you You can't if the tables are the ones on the floor unless you are right against one of the far walls or you stand on your chair. Other good seats are probably on the platform in front of the bar, you can _see_, but you're far away. Nearest the stage is best (standing), Jewel fans should be pretty mellow though and I don't think there'll be the normal pushing, pulling and shoving that other acts seems to inspire. I saw Ned's Atomic Dustbin there last year and it was ok, of course, acoustics aren't too much of a problem for the Ned's, the OH seemed to mellow their sound a bit. Lots of pushing and shoving though and then the human clothes dryer effect in the pit for "Kill Your Television" and "All I Ask..." James. P.S.

It was the 4th time I saw her. I organized a party crew of 9 first time Jewelers. They all loved her as I knew they would but I have a grievance concerning the direction Atlantic is pushing her. Firstly, the new songs she performed with the band were great. If she writes a song and performs it for the first time with a band then the song becomes associated with it. In the cases of Foolish Games and I'm Sensitive I thought so much of her emotion and engrossing talent was lost with the loud bass and awkward keyboard during these songs. The fourth time was not a charm for these tunes. She even changed the arrangement a little for I'm Sensitive. The electric guitar for I Got The Blues.. was too much. I remember seeing her a few months ago and being very impressed with her guitar playing because I could easily hear her pick notes on her old Tayler acoustic guitar. She tuned it, her nostrils would flare, the whole bit and everybody loved it. She played the electric with the band and the drums and bass drowned out her solo parts enough that I could barely hear the guitar. I could not believe she did not play my all time fav Sometimes It Be That Way. She had played it at the last three shows and my friends loved that one and were disappointed because I told them she was sure to play it. Overall my friends loved her for the fun, upbeat songs they were exposed to that are not part of POY. They were unsure if the concert was going to be an hour rendition of Painters and Adrian so I played them some of her other songs. They were familiar with God's Gift, Race Car Driver, and SIBTW but she didn't play any of these. A few of them expressed disappointment that she did not play their own personal fav Don't. She has so much talent tha it was just hard for me to see some of her emotion and skill being drowned out by her original acoustic songs being played with the band. I will and still do support her as much as anyone but I hope Atlantic lets her do her thing solo acoustic on the next album. If anybody made it through this thanks for paying attention. Looking forward to Radio Angles. Thanks Colin.

I think it is primal scream kitsch, others liked it as a break from Jewel's sugar-coated character to have her do a sceaming rocker. I still am not sure what the song is about, but it has gotten people talking. It is clearly the most talked-about song of her current tour. As you see Jewel at a concert near you-please post or write me in private E-Mail: What do you think about "Carnivore" If anyone can transcribe the lyrics I would love to get them for the archive. On the other hand, everyone universally likes "Marital Carnival." I would love to get the lyrics to that song as well. Two "Carns"; two completely different songs. James ------------------------------ From: reach@fishnet.net (James Reach) Date: Mon, 06 May 96 11:25:17 PDT Subject: Jessica (Again) Okay. Are we talking about "Jessica" again? It is one of my favorite Jewel songs, as it is of several other Jewel fans. Yet she has only performed the song one time. But as was said, it was such an emotional rendition and was captured on the "Rare Angels" tape (Side 2, cut 1) that everyone who has heard it loves it. Will this song live on or not? It is partly up to us fans to keep talking about it, I guess, and partly up to Jewel if she wants to re-learn it. Jessica by Jewel Kilcher He used to walk with Jessica Down to the diner They'd sit and talk for hours About nothin' in particular Just bullshit the time away That's what she used to say She'd wrinkle her nose when she said it That's how you know she meant it Jessica Jessica She'd call him at nine a.m. To see how sleep had been treatin' him And though they were never lovers They were soulmates under cover They'd drink beer and sit around Or just sit still and not make a sound And he would shudder to think Of what life would be like Without his best friend -slash- shrink Jessica Bridge: She's an angel at his table A force to feel but not to see Blinded by her absence Haunted by her memory If only you were able to see the angel at your table He got a phone call From her mother He said, "Yeah, right stop kidding around." He felt his heart fall to the ground Since then everyday Seems to feel like winter Everything is colorless As he can't see it with her Jessica Jessica He could easily have been with her Driving home in the car It was her birthday It's sick how things work out that way Now at night when he sleeps A watch over him she keeps She whispers in his ear For his heart to hear Jessica Jessica It's amazing how a soul can leave Suddenly from a body Rendering it useless And stealing its desire to breathe One moment here then gone With no forwarding address Love no longer has a house Residence in flesh Religion without a temple No place to take your worship to No God for the eyes to see No fruit to lay at the feet of Jessica Jessica If only you were able to see The angel at your table Then you'd understand why You never got to say goodbye To Jessica There's no such word as goodbye For Jessica She's always standing by Jessica -end- ------------------------------ From: "B.Good" Date: Mon, 06 May 1996 13:32:52 -0500 (CDT) Subject: jewel of course! Hi everyone, I'd just like to thank you all for helping me become more familiar with the wonderful, brilliant musician Jewel. I really appreciate all your help in trading shows and dubbing tapes...without you, I'd still be listening to just the 14 tracks on POY and I'd have missed out on A LOT of great music. I was curious if anybody out there has a taped copy of Jewel's concert with the band (any of the dates.) I'll be going home for the summer at the end of the week and won't have e-mail access until August. Since I live in Wyoming, I also won't be able to see her in concert and I'd love to hear her new sound. If anybody does have a copy of one of the dates with the band, I'd love to set up a trade before the end of the week if possible. I have several shows and would be more than happy to tape any of them for you in exchange for that tape. I could also simply mail you a tape and return postage for it. If you're interesting, respond to the message. Have a great summer everyone, and thanks again for sharing your music and information with me!

I keep hearing about all these Jewel shows, and it seems for the most part everyone is real happy with her performance (as if you couldn't be). But to my knowledge Jewel isn't coming to Cincinnati any time soon. I've never seen her live and in person, and frankly I'm getting jealous. It's a very serious case of the "Green Eyed Monster". I guess I'll have to live with it and hope she someday comes to Cincy. Oh well. Anyway, if anyone feels sorry for me enough, and has a copy of "Save The Linoleum" that they would like to get rid of, I'd like to purchase it. I've been looking in all the used bins around here and can't seem to find it anywhere. Of course maybe it was only widely distributed on the west coast. Hey, there's a thought. Maybe I should move out west so I could be in a closer proximity to Jewel's concerts. Hmmmm... Thanks, Dean, who is patiently waiting but might snap into a psychotic rage if Jewel doesn't come to Cincinnati soon. :) ------------------------------ From: cmueller@utdallas.edu Date: Mon, 6 May 1996 14:23:38 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Jewel in Dallas?
