First of all, here is the setlist: 01 Near You Always 02 Does Anyone Believe in Love Anymore 03 1,000 Miles Away (she said she probably was going to put it in her new CD) 04 Carnivore 05 Nicotine Love (YES .. ecstatic . a little weird to hear a different version though) 06 Little Sister 07 Down So Long 08 Life Uncommon 09 New Wild West 10 Hands 11 Alice in Wonderland 12 Violet Eyes 13 Race Car Driver (with story) 14 Cold Song (with intro) 15 Morning Song 16 Intuition (with Zoloft story) 17 Stand 18 Foolish Games 19 You Were Meant For Me 20 WWSYS (with short story) Encore 21 Per la Gloria d'adorarvi 22 Everything Reminds Me of You (with Joe Firstman) - Joe says, "you guys are missing the best thing backstage! Jewel is being fined $10,000 per minute and Jewel basically said, "Fuck It" 23 Chime Bells I thought the concert was okay. It was not the best Jewel concert I've been to. I was, however, quite excited to hear Nicotine Love. Back in the day, I once posed a question to the EDA list and had everyone send their list of 10 songs they would love to hear Jewel sing live again. I think slowly, I'm getting down that list. I've long lost my original post and can't even remember enough to look it up in the archives, but I know I had Nicotine Love on there. Heh, now I just need Marital Carnival and Rocker Girl ;-) I never thought I'd hear her sing Nicotine Love. Let's see, what else? Jewel didn't chat much at all! She just sang one after another. It was fine by me. My friend, however, who was just an avid fan got a little bored at first because all the songs were not upbeat in the beginning. The theater was NICE. Very new. The acoustics were wonderful! A sound designer's dream. A large open stage, wood paneling all over. Just wood wood wood acoustics everywhere. No carpeting really. I wish I had brought a recorder since InstantLive WAS NOT there =( How unfortunate. I also had a hard time finding the merch table, sucked that they only took cash. The set up was weird. There was a line to buy Joe's CD and then a separate line to get it signed. I left early to get in the line, only for them to make me go to the back of the signing line. I got tired and just left. Hurumph! Plus, Joe's CD was $20!!! Thank goodness I already bought it. My friend wanted it, but didn't feel like shelling out $20. Elizabeth (the angel who loved the fact that Jewel said "fuck it" to curfew people and sang overtime by 10 minutes!) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 08:48:04 EDT From: JewelBlues@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Re:NICOTINE LOVE RE: NICOTINE LOVE (GREENBAY: SInce this is my favorite Jewel song,I would also like to have a copy of this on CD or DVD (whatever was recorded) please email me off line as well, whoever hasd this Instalive ? thnaks.

The singer-songwriter believes the essence of the music on her latest disc, 0304, is not much different than her previous four folk albums. "I think folk music to a large extent has been heard so much in a certain way, you assume so much about it and don't hear the nuances," Jewel said. "I wanted to put folk music to a neo-modern setting so the lyric can hit you in a different way." The key to Jewel Kilcher's music has always been smart, insightful lyrics and sweeping melodies, and those same elements are evident in 0304. But the added rhythms and booming beats she used to create a dance-club sound provided the songwriter with more audio tools than she normally uses in a traditional folk format. "On the song Run 2 U, I gave it that dance beat to give you that feeling of having to run," she said. "And on Haunted, it's a song about being haunted by your own thoughts, your own demons, so I gave a steady beat like you're being stalked by your thoughts." And while Jewel and co-producer Lester Mendez, whose previous credits include recordings by Shakira, Santana and Enrique Iglesias, created the most complex studio recording of her career, Jewel said the songs are easily transferred to a solo acoustic show. "They're all real songs, they're not just beats that repeat over and over. They work as well as every other song I've done," she said. Jewel grew up in a musical family on a rustic homestead near Homer, Alaska, and spent her junior and senior years of high school studying at the Interlochen Fine Arts Academy in Michigan on a vocal scholarship. She moved to San Diego and lived in her van, surfing and writing poetry and songs and performing folk music at coffee shops. The thought of working a 9-to-5 job scared her, she said, to the point where she was determined to write songs and perform them regardless of commercial success. Her breakthrough disc, Pieces of You, was released in February, 1995, but didn't make the charts until April, 1996. And after that, it was a fast climb to stardom. Her 1998 disc, Spirit, sold six million copies worldwide and yielded the hits Hands, Jupiter (Swallow the Moon) and Down So Long. Her next disc, This Way, was released in November, 2001 and has sold 1.5 million copies. Jewel's musical influences are broad. "I've always been really interested in all kinds of music," she said. "I loved hip-hop and rap when I was first exposed to it in the 1980s. I love the beats and I loved the artists who had the ability to be very lyrical with those beats. I also like the hypnotic nature of dance music. There is something primordial about it." Although she takes her lyrics and songwriting seriously, Jewel doesn't want to overlook one of the key elements of music: having fun. She said that the primary goal of 0304 was to help people forget their problems for a while and just dance. "I'm offering it as a sort of intelligent escapism," she said. Another new adventure for Jewel is her participation in a recording project called Instant Live, which makes a live recording of her concert and then sells copies on CD immediately after the show. Jewel is the first major-label artist to offer such live discs, which are ready for sale within minutes after the show's finale. "It's a precedent-setting thing. But I'm built for that. I'm best live, and I don't have a band on this tour, so for me it's perfect. I've never done the same show twice. I do something different every night. Fans get to walk away with a memory of the concert." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 07:36:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Jessica Boyd Subject: Re: [EDA] Jewel in Playboy That's good. I think Jewel seems a little classier than some of the other (ladies?) that pose for money in there. Dave0828@aol.com wrote:No - not naked. I just wanted to know how fast a certain somebody would run to his nearest newsstand after reading my post. She's in the back where they show celebrities that look hotter than usual or are showing a bit more than they would like. Her outfit is largely a boustier - and they mostly talk about her bangs. But hey - all I said was that she was "pictured." http://www.realmagictv.com/signup.php?m=16603 New and Improved Yahoo!

Hey, this is Lew also from Nashbash. I've just been lurking a bit lately. No conversations that seemed to need my input. Plus, I've been a bit busy recording the new album with my band (feel free to check that out at www.coilback.com ). The old Nashbash page is still up and still has some pics of Woody on there that you could take to help fill his room.

Her performance was technically superb, but there was a disconnect. Nicotine Love, 1000 Miles Away and Violet Eyes were highlights. Jewel said she was thinking of putting 1000 Miles Away on the new recording. She told a new funny story about removing toe lint when giving five-dollar foot massages in Cabo San Lucas when she hitched there during spring break when she was still in school. She showed how she got rid of people's toe lint before giving them the foot massages, and it was an eerily real depiction. Listen closely to "Alice in Wonderland." I think that song is where she is right now. No DiscLive; the venue wouldn't allow it. It was great to see Mark and Mary Olmos there. - -=-Larry-=- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 20:18:52 -0400 From: "Sean Stevens" Subject: [EDA] EDA: Poltz LRC 8/28 Hey there- Thought some might be interested.

It sounds like it would be super different. Here are the lyrics: Do You Want To Play Transcribed by Mike Gray Met her on a Friday afternoon In a disco glow light neon chiffon (???) She never looked back She always looks good dressed in black She says, oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh Do you want to play? The counter beneath the discount store Pictures of Randy Newman Scattered all across the floor Says this place looks so desolate You only have a life But have you always been this way? I'll take you back Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh whoah Do you want to play? Don't work too hard Don't think too fast Don't understand what you can't take back Don't look back Don't pray to your super-neon dayglow deity Don't understand Don't understand Don't understand Don't understand Oh oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh oh Do you want to play? Oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh oh Oh oh oh whoah oh oh Whoah whoah oh whoah oh So have any of you heard it? Is it great?
