The shortest I've seen it yet. She began the show with a couple disc songs, which made up much of the show. I should add that this was an outdoor, in the grass, free homecoming show at U of F, one of the largest schools in the country. As far I could see, I would guess 7-8,000+ people tonight. Far and away the largest audience for a Jewel headlining show. Seems like a good chance to make a strong impression? Well, the sound was a problem. She interrupted many a song to make technical suggestions and requests. Finally, she called the sound guy out on stage. Introduced herself and him, "What's your name? Jeff? Everybody meet Jeff. Listen to it. Come listen to my monitor. It sounds like shit. It sounds like I'm in a closet. And my guitar is too loud in that one." She was tough. Get 'em Jewel! :) Combined with sound problem, a free show for mostly less than spectacular, and another tasteless thing....Excuse me but is it considered a sign of applause nowadays to throw things at the stage? After a while of noticing numerous things flying down front, I looked to the floor. Condoms. Probably 20-30 of them. A few made it to the stage where the bass player got rid of them. Granted, Jewel was the sexiest I've ever seen her tonight, with motions, dancing, the clothes, and all but I was ashamed of some fellow "humans." They may be homosapiens just like us but they certainly were lacking in the humanity. Then again, they are college kids doing stupid things.... As for the show, Marc was awesome. Jewel confused the band quite a bit and the extremely short (45-50 minute) setlist was as follows: Pieces of you Little Sister Satellite (band) SIBTW Cold Song Morning Song Fade Away (very sexy in the strip references) Foolish Games (very electric and smash hit material like this) YWMFM (with story) Near you always (solo) Angel Standing By Love me just leave me alone (band) Chime Bells - -encore- WWSYS (runs off the stage before the band finished it notes) Note, no Carnivore and POY made up the majority. Also, I was amazed at the security. Guards and police everywhere. Even dogs! Must have heard that YWMFM story before. No one was allowed anywhere near the back area before or after unless you had a pass. I had to give Jewel some magazine stuff that was forwarded to me for her to look over "pre-publish". (She's going to be the featured artist in a debut issue.) Also to thank her once again for Jewelstock and the gift of the music. It was strange to see people cornered off in fenced areas and Jewel waving from 50 yards away. She hung out for probably a half hour. Mostly just sitting, chatting with the few who were allowed into the restricted areas. Then the vans cruised into the fenced off area, picked her up and whisked her away into the darkness. Yes, it was more signs of stardom (and caveman flashbacks for men) for Jewel tonight.... Time for 3 hours sleep... - -- Pieces of Jewel http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/xenomorph/jewelmn.htm Shadowboxer http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/poj/fiona.htm I want to compile accurate concert info so I'm looking for people to send me setlists, reviews, details ASAP. ------------------------------ From: W1GGY2@aol.com Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 00:16:21 -0400 Subject: T-shirt guy please read Hey Phil, Of course I don't have your e-mail address but I wanted to say thank you.

Some folks have it, some don't. Those who have it would be devasted if it were cut off. They think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior. They think it gives them power. 2. Those who don't have it may agree that it's an nifty toy, but think it's not worth the fuss that those who have it make about it. Still, many of those who don't have it would like to try it. 3. It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but it makes it hard to get any real work done. 4. In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still think that's the only thing it should be used for, most folks today use it for fun most of the time. 5. Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop. Some people would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do. 6. It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take this interaction very seriously, others treat it as a lark.. Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person you are dealing with until it's too late. 7. If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread viruses. 8. It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think coherently. 9. We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size and influence warrant. 10. If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in trouble. 11. It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions, it will warp your behavior. Later you may ask yourself, "Why on earth did I do that?" 12. It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will just do the same dumb things time and time again. ------------------------------ From: SkinnyPete@aol.com Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 00:43:00 -0400 Subject: Jewel Kilcher VS. Dennis Harris LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLE. This is Skinny Pete for World Wresting Everyday Angels Federation. Tonights fight, the young and up and coming Jewel Kilcher against the aging and well. . . slightly mad, Dennis Harris. Let's go to ring-side. "In this corner wearing the blue silk shirt and hugging jeans being led down the isle by her manager, Lenedra - JEWEL KILCHER !!!!! And in this corner wearing the "have a nice day" smiley boxer shorts and a Jewelstock button fastened to his nipple, weighing in at 98 pounds, and being led down the isle by his manager, Dean - DENNIS "BOOM BOOM" HARRIS !!!!! Here is your referee for the evening Mike Connell with tonight's fighting instructions. "This match is scheduled for only 2 rounds but if it gets really good after the lights go on we MIGHT have a 3rd round that only I can see. Kilcher you know there's no smoking you're gonna have to put out that . . . oh, nevermind it's just a lolipop. OK, there will be no biting or kicking. And DENNIS, DON'T stand on the ropes 'cause chances are, you're gonna break them. Now go to your corners and come out fighting" "DING - DING". "Kilcher comes out fighting hard. She grabs Harris (who doesn't really seem to mind) by the legs and slams him to the floor. She lifts him up and OOOHHH NO, SHE TWEEKS HIS NOSE. KILCHER HAS TWEEKED HARRIS' NOSE. Harris doesn't know what to do. He seems taken back by this agressive fighting style. BUT, wait what's this???? Harris' manager Dean throws a frisbee at Kilcher and Kilcher is distracted. Come on ref get control of this match. Kilcher is distracted. Harris turns around with a quick pin. Literally. He's pinned Kilcher to the mat with his Jewelstock buttons. The referee counts to three AND it's ALL OVER!!! Harris defeats Kilcher in the greatest upset in WWEDAF history. Kilcher is just lying there only able to udder one thing over and over again "Damn those Harris brothers !!!" What a great fight. Harris is the new WWEDAF champion" The crowd leaves the arena stopping occasionally to purchase "^@%$ You I'm Sensitive" t-shirts, as the referee sits in the front row and quietly enjoys the 3rd round only seen in his own head. What a great night for wrestling. - Mean Skinny Oakerland P.S. Please don't flame me. I'm really tired and consumption of two McDonald's Arch Deluxes has taken it's toll. Be kind. ------------------------------ From: The Rumble Guy Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 21:57:23 -0700 Subject: Re: San Fran Show At 05:35 PM 10/11/96 -0400, WolfieK626@aol.com wrote: >I'm still hearing rumors that Jewel will play in the Bay Area soon.

If someone (or many people) could help me out in getting all the Jewel I can get...please don't hesitate to let me know how. Is there a list of Jewel boots somewhere? Just curious. Second...could somebody tell me how to get to Boston Common to see Jewel on Sunday? I don't know Boston at all. Been there once when my band played (years ago), but I think I slept the ride away. I am coming from Somersworth, NH. Or easier yet (I think)...Portsmouth, NH down 95 South. Thanx people. Rick Bond ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #673 ***************************
