Poltzie had the theatre in tears long before the emergence of Jewel, then with their carry on singing together it just got better. They had some problem with an amp so Steve had to sing longer then he usually does, what a crackup!!! He got a couple up on stage and had them slow dancing while he sang a love song and drank wine he had been given, interesting enough Jewel had a swig also when she appeared (I thought she didn't drink?!?), so did the couple dancing, well actually they have several glasses each. Steve kissed the girl and the crowd went mad, then he sang some more before he made out to shake hands with the bloke but actually pulled him close and kissed him, as you can imagine everyone just went off, I'm sure after this performace he will have a following in Adelaide, he actually said he liked Adelaide as the weather was the same as san diego. (probably says that everywhere) Then our gal appeared; Jewel won everyone over and sung 19 songs during her set. She wore a black tank top number and blue denim jeans, very nice (Poltzie said as much also). Jewel really got into it with a nine minute version of WWSYS, amazing, that girl has some talent folks. Then when she sang angel standing by, there was not a noise bar her voice (and guitar), the girl next to me started crying, her friend put her arm around her and they cried together. Jewel sang all up for over 110 minutes and everybody was on there feet swaying there arms above there heads, clapping, cheering everything that she done. She really looked to be enjoying herself and at one stage splashed the contents of her water bottle out over all the people in the front few rows. People were yelling out "I love you Jewel" and she responded "I love you too", then she said lets get all the comments out of the way and they did, then this guy yells out when all was quiet again "your a horn bag jewel", the crowd just went wild, Jewel was bent over in laughter and told him "please don't embarrass the artist", but then proceeded to ask him for a song request. You know on the CD's you think her voice is amazing, but really they don't do it justice; the power, control, angelic sounding of it is truely remarkable, I was a little disappointed at first that there was only going to be the one gig in Adelaide, but last night would have been very hard to top and I'm very grateful that I had the opportunity to see both Jewel and Steve, I hope they come this way again soon. Jewel came on stage a little after 9pm and sang with steve for the first 20 minutes, then it was all Jewel until about 11-15 or so, I wish it could have gone on longer, but as they say "all good things must come to an end", she did sing without a break all that time with passion and with the apparent interest of someone who hadn't sung those songs as many times that she has, a credit to her, it must be hard to keep singing the songs with huge amounts of feeling time after time, but Jewel appears to do it with ease. two encores including a memorable version of "Chime Bells", again everyone went wild at hearing this , hardly any of them had heard in before and everyone was clapping and cheering all the way throught it, Jewel said we were the best crowd so far on tour, I think she genuinely meant it also. But the look on the peoples faces after Jewel went off stage and there amazement at hearing Chime Bells, it was unbelievable, she really won over Adelaide and made a lot of new fans here, as did Steve. Everyone I spoke to afterward thought the concert was fantastic, they hadn't seen or heard Jewel like that only how she is on the albums, I guess we're all very lucky we have angelfood. They make a great entertaining couple and if you have the chance, don't miss them. There was heaps more I was going to write but it would get ridicuously long so I'll wrap it up here, overall a very fine performance and well worth going to see. Just on the merchandise, there was no tour diary :-(, but 5 or 6 t-shirts, a Jewel Journal, sticker, hat, tank top, her book, an envelope with 4 or 5 pics in it, a poster, I'm sure there was other stuff but I forget now. I did buy a Steve Poltz t-shirt and the guy said it was only the second one sold for the night, so if you are getting merchandise people be sure to get a Steve Poltz t-shirt, he was suprised to see I had a Steve Poltz CD with me and said Poltzie would be impressed, I didn't get a chance to get it autographed but. Price wise; the t's where $35, the book $30, envelope of pics $15 (good pictures). I got a Jewel "spirit" world tour t-shit also very nice, I would have like to have gotten Jewel to autograph it but it wasn't to be, I'm not sure if she hung around to sign autographs or not. Following is the set list: Steve:(40 minute set) I love ya, you know I do (Maybe called something else) The ABC's of love Ten chances (new song written here in oz) When in Adelaide (something he made up) Oh good morning I miss wakin' up with you Star Wars Song (written in Oz) great song, real crack up!!!! Paint the town Waterfalls (TLC's number, brilliant!!) Tree huggers song. Jewel's & Steve (20 minutes) My body is changing (Jewel & Steve, Acoustic) I thought I saw you (jewe& steve, acoustic) Fly to me angel (jewel, acoustic) Love is a rose (jewel & steve, acoustic) Jewel's set: (90 minutes) Near you always (acoustic) Deep Water (band) Whats simple is true (band) Hands (band) Jupiter (band) YWMFM (acoustic, steve played guitar) Some times it be that way (acoustic) Morning song (acoustic) Cold song (acoustic) Life uncommon (band) Barcelona (band) Foolish games (piano) Down (a classic, very heavy band, hard to hear the words in parts) Down so long (band) Love me just Leave Me Alone (band, heavy also) WWSYS (band, heavy, 9 minute version) 1st Encore Absence of fear (acoustic) 2nd Encore Angel standing by (acoustic) Chime Bells (acoustic) there it is folks, my breif encounter with Jewel & Steve, hopefully it its one of many that will occur in the coming years!!!!. Cheers!!! Craig. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 04:22:23 +1000 From: Louise Subject: Re: Jewel at Fenian's Pub, Melbourne she yodelled for them??!!

Hi gang, For all the Australian EDAs, there was a competition in today's Daily Telegraph (Thursday) where you had to ring a mobile number between 10am and 10:15am for a chance to meet Jewel backstage at her March 9 Sydney concert. The prize included tickets for two to the concert, and also a couple of Spirit CDs. Did anyone enter this? I couldn't because I didn't know about it until I got the paper in the afternoon :( *****The Skybound Angel***** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 15:03:22 +0100 From: "Remko van der Vossen" Subject: Re: I want to FLY from here >I would give it a borderline A rating, but there wasn't any mention of the >EDA's!

What can I say I loved it again! What an experience twice! This time I was in the 8th row in the front stalls - much better. Steve Poltz's set was fantastic again and this time he got a familiar girl (Louise from the list!)on stage to taste some wine. I'm sure she will tell you all about it. This time he didn't play any songs with Jewel though which was a bit of disapointment. But he did play the Star Wars song! He also mentioned that he will be back in Australia very soon. Jewel's set list was similar to the first concert although she didn't play 'Kiss the Flame'. She did however, play 'Passing Time', 'Sometimes it be that Way', and 'Pieces of You' during her solo accoustic set. Near the end of the gig she got everyone to stand up and come down to the front when she played 'Down' (?!?!? *not* 'Down So Long'), 'Love Me just Leave me alone', 'Down So Long' and 'WWSYS'. We took a few piccies and I can't wait to get them developed. I also got my 'Spirit' CD signed by Jewel after the show which means now I have both CDs signed by Jewel. Will give a fuller, more proper review when all the excitement has died down! Dave - the Aussie Angel P.S. Oh, I almost forgot....the final/third encore she did Chime Bells!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 18:13:48 +0200 From: Lassi Valkonen Subject: Jewel under fire (critics) Hey angels, I'm new to the mailing list, and I hope I will have a wonderful time chatting about Jewel, and making new friends. I have been a Jewel fan for quite a while now, and I was delighted to hear that she is touring around the world with her latest album o' songs (it's just quite a shame that she can't make it over here to Finland...*sigh*..). Anyway, I completely agree with those of you who have posted comments about the criticisms that she has already received, on the first leg of her journey. That's the funny thing about critics; you can't avoid them. I run a little personal ezine on my website with my friend, and we post all these zany articles about our everyday lives. Here is a little caption about what my friend had to say in his article titled "The Cinema Paradox", which talks about movie critics and his experiences listening & not listening to their advice: "That's why movie reviews should never be say that a movie is good or bad, and people in general shouldn't say if a movie is good or bad... i mean, everything reviewed is in like that; video games, music, books... To everyone their own tastes. I've seen too many people being ostracized just because they liked the wrong movie, or didn't like the right one. Reviews reflect something everybody should have... individual opinions. If we all liked the same movies, the world would be pretty boring, wouldn't it?" Thanh Nguyen. Just as he said, reviews reflect our own personal opinions, so you shouldn't take what someone says as face value. Of course, if you find someone (a critic/friend) who has similar views and outlooks, then by all means...take their advice/listen to them if you want to. But then again, in this world, everything is relative like that; everything is formed around someones opinion. Celebrities must have it pretty tough. I just hope Jewel can put up with the stress of her tour and enjoy herself. Take care, Lassi Valkonen ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 11:07:51 PST From: "chris rodriguez" Subject: Jewel BIOrhythm... 1 million Spirit sales in one day?? hi all im not sure if this is true but spirt didnt sell a million in one day did it?????

That video was the best, I hope she makes videos for all the other songs on Spirit...well, except maybe Fatboy, even my girl Jewel isn't perfect. If you missed the premier on MTV, just turn it on and wait, since dsl is the greatest video the world has ever known, MTV will have to play it at least 15 times a day, or there will be riots.

Gregory Yoest" Subject: MTV's BIOrhythm Hey, that was pretty good :) For those of you who didn't or can't see it, BIOrhythm, an MTV program, is running a half-hour biography of our favorite angel, a show well worth watching. The episode, which to its great enhancement did not have the distraction of a voiceover narrator, used early photos of Jewel and her family, excerpts from previous Jewel TV interviews, non-Jewel-related film clips of various geographical and social milieu in which Jewel at one time or another has found herself, and occasional brief, one-sentence, bottom-of-the-screen written narration to tell her life story. Only the last few minutes of the half-hour dealt with the current "multiplatinum POY -- best-selling ANWA -- multiplatinum Spirit" phase of her life. Most of the show, like most of her life, dealt with Alaska, Hawaii, Interlochen, homelessness in San Diego, and the two years of cross-country roadtripping in support of POY prior to its rise to the top of the charts. This unromantic, matter-of-fact treatments of phases of Jewel's life that seem to have attained a certain mythological status in mass-market Jeweldom make this a valuable addition to the whole corpus of Jewel media coverage. Highly recommended. Our listowner Mike Connell has posted that this show will run again on MTV at the following upcoming times (USA Eastern times): 6:30pm Thurs. 3-4; 3:00pm Fri. 3-5; 12:30am Fri. night / Sat. morn; and 7:30pm Sat 3-6. Hope that you will be able to catch it :) Greg ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #100 ***************************
