Can someone tell me the dates for following Jewel concerts/recordings: Chula Vista (Pieces of You period), MTV Unplugged, VH1 Hardrock Live and Woodstock 1999. Thanks! Kris. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 12:22:04 -0700 (PDT) From: "John K." Subject: [EDA] Jewel Summer Tour Hi EDAs I was wondering if anyone is attending any of Jewel's acoustic tour this summer? I am going to the June 21st at Fred Kavhli's Theater in Thousand Oaks, CA. Anyone attending? It seems to be quite low-key...not much attention overall. What should one expect? ~John Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'm not sure when that Chula Vista show occurred. According to the lists' archives, Hard Rock Live taped Feb 27, 1997, first aired March 30th of that year. The archives also reveal that Unplugged was recorded on the evening of Wednesday May 7th, 1997. A post about the taping is pasted below. Jewel's Woodstock 1999 set was on the third & final day, Sunday, July 25th 1999.
