She was energetic, passion filled and of course her same charming, witty self captivating the audience in song and humor. She was wearing a trendy/frayed (old/new rugged look) light-blue (denim) mini skirt with brown cowboy boots and a tan tank/cami with a satin bow tied just under the bust. She accented that with round, gold and black dangle earrings and sported a soft modern day flip (Farrah but not really) with bangs swept to her left temple. I took some pictures but I doubt they will be decent and I need to fill up the rest of the roll before developing. The set list: 1) Somewhere Over The Rainbow (acapella) 2) Near You Always 3) New Wild West She joked around by asking about whether or not the photographers had left or not because they were allowed to take pictures for only 3 songs. She said during this time she liked to sing pretty songs that make her look pretty with lots of "ooooo" sounding notes to avoid the double chin and then proceeded to joke about how Celine Dion--being as thin as she is--still manages the horrible double chin with her signature belting pose (and did this for the audience). Jewel joked about how photographers take lots of pictures but always use the bad ones accompanied by headlines saying, "Jewel badly needed to urinate, why didn't she pee before the show?" 4) Satellite She introduced this song saying she was going to sing some songs on her next album and said that she wrote this when she first came to California. 5) Goodbye Alice In Wonderland she said this was going on the new record and was "probably the most autobiographical song (she) ever wrote." At this point she started asking for requests. She commented on the "bootlegging skills" of an audience member when she requested Wolf and Dolphin (Cracker Thief!! Woo hoo!!). Someone in the first few rows requested Passing Time and she asked, "How do you know that song?" then tried to find it in hum but couldn't so she moved onto flipping someone off saying "Here's your free bird!" when asked to play the well known cover. lol 6) Hands 7) Standing Still She told her Bob Dylan story in her "valley girl" accent saying she wrote this next song on tour with Bob. 8) Sometimes It Be That Way 9) Stephenville, TX 10) Angel (Cowboy Waltz) She said this was one of the first songs she wrote for her dad 11) Cold Song she introduced this song in the normal manner she always does "I'd like to play you the best song I ever wrote..." building the audience up to think she was going to play some profoundly awesome thought provoking song--you all know how she does it. 12) Morning Song She took requests and someone yelled "Jesus loves me!" and she said with a smile in her voice, "I know." 13) Violet Eyes She took as a request from the audience. She introduced it by saying, "This is a sad song. I wrote this for my friend Jackie who died of cancer." It seemed like this song really got to her maybe because it's getting close to the anniversary of her friends passing because it seemed as though she had to hold back tears singing this song. It was a definite tear jerker. At the end she kept her head down, took a sip of tea, gathered herself and moved on. Here she did her social anxiety disorder bit joking about the Paxil commercial with someone holding hands with their mom walking on a beach, visions of kitten and the like...how she's a hypochondriac already so if she has 3 of the 10 symptoms mentioned she needs the drug: feeling uncomfortable around the in-laws, "yeah," taking longer than 60 seconds to fall asleep, "holy crap," do you breathe? "I need the drugs." She ended that part of the bit by talking about the speed-talker who talks you right out of it---"being shy around people I don't know anyway? or anal leakage?" She manages to tie in there the "super freak" fan of the year, naked with a Stephen Segal pony tail, covered in Crisco singing POY at 1/4-1/2 speed, how she's armpit height and the deep breather fan who wants to get her into his chair. She's such a silly goose. :) You all know how this goes--its a regular thing for her, but I wanted to mention it for those that haven't heard it before. 14) Intuition 15) YWMFM Hitchhiking/Kermit the frog story 16) WWSYS encore: 18) Per la Gloria D'adorarvi 19) Chime Bells As soon as she left the stage "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer followed *blaring* from the speakers. lol That was it! Sorry this is so long, but I promised myself that I would actually go into more detail this time for those of you I have talked to and haven't that have never seen her and want the details :). I'm pretty sure I have all of the monologues mentioned from above recorded at different venues (she needs some new material! lol ;)) if anyone that has never heard them, wants to--she's pretty funny and they are worth a listen (she'd be a mushroom if she were a man *wink*) :) Take care everyone and God bless!

Subject: [EDA] Jewel - Thousand Oaks, Thoughts? Hi. . . Back from a good show last night with Jewel at Thousand Oaks (Kavli Theatre). It was nice to hear and watch her play in an intimate set. Did anyone happen to write down the setlist for last night? The opening act Jackie was pretty good too. It's always interesting to see what opening acts are chosen. from LA, John ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Maybe I didn't get enough sleep the night before. But dang .... the show was kind of boring to me. I found myself yawning a few times. She also did not sing ONE single "new" song all night. What a bummer. I also have to admit, her vocal abilities were still good. I was just bored. I can't really place why. Melissa already posted the set list, so I won't do it again. I'll just comment on a few songs. Somewhere Over the Rainbow: I haven't heard that live before, so that was a treat. I really liked that. Satellite: I haven't heard that one live before either. That sounded great and the audience thought it was funny/clever. The second time she asked for requests, I would like to think it was me she heard. I waited for the audience to quiet down and requested "Violet Eyes." Then someone else seconded that. So, I think it was me she heard. Not sure of course. But in my mind, it will be me ;-) I agree with Melissa. I think it was one of the most emotional performances of the song. It really did seem like she was holding back tears. And some parts, sounded choked up. It was a great performance. I mean, overall,a Jewel show is always great. Maybe I was bothred by the 13 year old girls next to me who kept sitting on each other and whispering. I just didn't enjoy the show like I normally would. Hehe. Weird? Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming shows! Oh, yeah, and pictures ... they are kind of far away since I was in Row J. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/porkch0p31/album?.dir=/4d06&.src=ph ~Elizabeth ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 17:21:31 EDT From: WhatWouldJewelDo@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] concert review--Thousand Oaks (last night) I WAS THE ONE WHO REQUESTED "PASSING TIME", DID ANYONE SEE MY SIGN?????
