[Mike Gray Subject: Review of Manchester Concert + Set List & other UK stuff... Right, I think this might be a bit of a long message, but it's all Jewel related! Last night was Jewel's second concert of her UK tour, and it took place at the Manchester University Debating Hall (holds about 400 people). It wasn't packed, but there were quite a few in there. The opening act was a guy called Simon Warner. He's interesting, but I won't be rushing out to get his stuff... anyway, the important bit.. The set list: Don't Pieces Of You (with Supermodel story) Satellite Sometimes It Be That Way Everything Breaks Sometime Who Will Save Your Soul Emily Cold Song Foolish Games Last Dance Rodeo Morning Song Race Car Driver You Were Meant For Me Fragile Flame Chime Bells Angel Standing By - -- Amen All in all, it wasn't a bad concert. There was very little audience interaction, and I doubt that many people actually knew the songs. No-one tried to join in at all, and judging by the amount of laughter when Cold Song was played, I'd assume that quite a few people had never heard it before. She wasn't particularly communicative (in terms of story telling - she only told the POY story), and the set and stage were both really quite sparse (no more than 15 lights in total). Foolish Games was probably the stand-out song in terms of people singing along, and technically, I'd say that SIBTW was the best song she played. #And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart# However, the sound quality was very good, and in terms of singing, she was on top form. I've got quite a few photos, and if they come out well, then I'll let list members have them for their web-pages. I'll let those who e-mailed me previously know. Jewel seemed relatively unwilling to come out after the show (apparently in Birmingham she had returned to the stage to sign some autographs some twenty minutes after the concert ended). She also left flowers that people had brought for her on the stage. After about 30 minutes, she did come out of the dressing room, and, surrounded by security, signed a couple of autographs (including my POY cover :) ) and then left the building. My thoughts were that perhaps it would have been better for her if she'd come back to the main hall, signed a couple of things from the stage, and then she'd have been able to leave without any hassle... There was no merchandise at all, although some people *were* selling bootleg posters outside. The Independant newspaper (UK) today printed a full page article on Jewel in the "Eye" section. I only saw it in the library, and didn't even get chance to read it - perhaps it might be on their web-site if they have one? Pieces Of You appears to have been re-issued in the UK, with the addition of the single edit of "Foolish Games" putting the track total up to 15. This probably has something to do with the imminent release of the song in the UK as a single (early November?) and the current release on the continent. I still have some UK YWMFM singles (b/w Cold Song & Rocker Girl) for anyone in the US who still wants one.

Then listen to "Foolish Games" by Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 15:37:31 -0400 From: sammy3@ix.netcom.com Subject: Jewel Movie News!!! Right off the wire... Jewel Polishes Movie Plans By Chris Petrikin and Adam Dawtrey HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Pop singer Jewel is in advanced talks to make her feature film debut as the female lead in a Civil War drama called "To Live On." Tobey Maguire is attached to co-star in the $35 million Fox project, and sources say the studio is talking to Matt Damon (Courage Under Fire) for the other lead. Ang Lee (The Ice Storm) will direct. Jewel will play the love interest of two young men whose lives change during the denouement and aftermath of a year of fierce guerrilla warfare on the Kansas-Missouri border. Described as "Platoon" in America, it's based on the novel Woe to Live On by David Woodrell. The picture is slated to start shooting in March. Jewel, whose last name is Kilcher, is currently on tour in Europe. She has made a meteoric rise from Alaskan unknown to recording star. Her 1995 debut album "Pieces of You" has sold more than 5 million copies and has vaulted her to the forefront of the latest wave of successful female singer-songwriters. Now, following in the steps of Madonna, Whitney Houston and Courtney Love, Jewel looks to become the latest musical diva to make the jump to the big screen. Reuters/Variety So, what does everyone think? Sounds like an okay project.
