The soundcheck is done before the grounds open, but out of the cornor of my eye I see someone buying some food at a vendor near the stage...I look, and realize it's Mark Oakley, Jewel's guitarist from the This Way tour. So me and my friend run up to verify who it is, and, well it's him! We chit-chat for a few minutes, and I asked if he recalled playing at the festival with Jewel two years ago. He said no, but then again it's hard to remember every city. I ask him how Jewel is doing and he says "I haven't see her for a while". I tell him she will be in Milwaukee in a few weeks for a solo show. I was trying to get the guts to say, hey, I heard the band vowed never to work with Jewel again since she didn't go to T-bone's funeral, but well, I didn't have the guts. So we chit-chat for anotther minute about how cool LeAnn Rimes is! I pressed him to see if she was singing my favorites, and she did sing them all except for This Love. Anways, for some reason my friend had the insert from 0304 in her pocket, and he signed it for her next to his name on one of the songs. He signed my t-shirt. So then I say, hey, take us to meet LeAnn! He says, well, we just can't do that. But then he said a radio station was doing a little meet 'n greet with her briefly after the show. He said to go to the check-in area behind the stage, and give them our names to get back there and he would try his best to get us on the list to get back there. So, after the FANTASTIC show, we go over, and our names our on the list! We got to meet LeAnn she was really nice and humble and thanks Mark for helping us out! On an intersting note: when LeAnn first came out she did a Disney concert special...and in the special she was talking about buying Jewel's pieces of you:) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 09:02:06 +0200 From: "Emilie Bozon" Subject: [EDA] RE: Je t'aime song >I haven't been following Jewel lately, let alone gone to a show, are these >the lyrics? >http://www.paroles.net/chansons/16885.htm I've never heard that song by Jewel, but it's definitely not this one ; those lyrics are from a very famous french song by Lara Fabian.

Reuters Photo WireImage Slideshow: Jewel Billboard has learned that Atlantic Records artist Jewel will sell live CDs at select dates on her summer tour. The company also has nailed down a series of dates to record and sell CDs on the summer tours of Kiss, Peter Frampton (news), the Allman Brothers Band and the Cowboy Junkies. And on June 28 Instant Live will announce expanded retail availability of a series of concert CDs through an agreement with Newbury Comics' Toothface Distribution unit. Participating retail chains include Virgin and FYE. Internet (news - web sites) sales sites include newburycomics.com, amazon.com and cdbaby.com. The company says it is close to announcing a new agreement with a leading online music distributor whereby Instant Live recordings will be available as MP3 files, with a share of the profits from digital downloads passed on to the artists. "We're trying to create a new revenue stream for artists and a new way for them to connect with their fan base," Instant Live director Steve Simon says Instant Live creates master stereo recordings of concert performances, burns them at the venue and delivers them on-site minutes after the show ends. Prices range from $10 for a recorded club performance to $20 to $25 for multi-CD Digipaks. In basic terms, Instant Live is a new concept in concert merchandise that can add $6 to $8 per unit to an artist's revenue each night. "Some artists will only want to participate in that aspect of the program," Simon says. "But others may want to take advantage of a fully fleshed-out menu that includes after-market retail, digital download and sponsorship opportunities " he continues. "This is a full-service proposition with a lot of add-ons, but at its core it's a new merchandise revenue stream." Participation from a major-label act is a milestone for the program. Previous participants either run their own labels or are signed to small indies. "For the labels, it's a way to create revenue, with no additional investment from concert merchandise," Simon says. So how is the pie sliced? "In a general sense, the artist and label combined will make more than we do, and that's fine," Simon says. The Allman Brothers Band participated in a "handful" of shows last year, Simon says, and will increase that number in 2004. He adds that about 19% of ticket buyers purchased concert CDs. Taking Allman Brother concert CDs to retail was a logical extension after seeing Allman Brothers Instant Live CDs on eBay, Simon says. "Allmans fans know how to tape, burn and rip, yet these original-issue CD Live three-CD sets were going for $350 on eBay," he says. "That's when the light bulb goes off that there's an after-market for these things." Artists participating in the program include moe., Michael Franti & Spearhead, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, the Smithereens and many others. DiscLive, the biggest competitor to Instant Live in the concert CD market, counts the Pixies, Billy Idol (news), Kim Deal (news), Newsboys and Doors of the 21st Century among its clients. Other bands, including the Dead and the Who, have their own live concert CD programs. "All the more power to them," Simon says. "Their model is different; they deliver by mail order several weeks after the shows." For Kiss, no stranger to creative merchandising, Instant Live is working well on the band's Rock the Nation tour. "This is something that we've never done before, and we don't know if and when will be back," Kiss manager Doc (news - web sites) McGhee tells Billboard. McGhee says roughly 20% of Kiss fans are buying CDs at the concerts, but it s still too early to tell if showgoers are moving dollars from other purchases to buy the CDs. "The jury is still out as to whether it will impact other sales," he says. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 21:58:03 EDT From: GAMGRIFF@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Instant Live Jewel Signs on to Instant Live CD Program Sat Jun 26, 2004 05:54 PM ET By Ray Waddell NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Instant Live, Clear Channel Entertainment's live concert CD program, has signed its first major-label artist.
