What a show it was. I just happened to get my ticket at the last minute and went by myself! She did do "Crash and Burn" which is one of my favorites. The first time the band left the stage and said goodnight we knew it wasn't over but they kept coming back after a couple songs. I think in all they came back 3 times with Sheryl coming on at the end with her piano to sing "Home". I got up to the 4th row and got lots of good pictures. She is so talented. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could give me the number to call to get the "Stormy" CD. My friend has it and I love it-would like to order it. She got it from her dad so she has no info about it. Please let me know. Thanks, Michelle at LSU.

If anything, it indicates that your station is way behind, as there are now US promos for "Anything But Down". However, some have said that there *will* be a domestic TGTN in the summer, but I doubt that your local station playing it was releated to that release.

I may be wrong, but I do think the song is from the '70s originally. I can shed some light on this but not much because I haven't heard the song. I can tell you that Don McLean did not record a song with the title "All By Myself," as far as I can tell. There are a whole lot of songs with that title, but the four most popular ones were written by Eric Carmen, Big Bill Broonzy, Irving Berlin and David Bartholomew. This last one is the most intriguing because Mr. Batholomew wrote most of the songs that were hits for Fats Domino, including another song Sheryl recorded "I'm Going to Be a Wheel Someday." But, I have not been able to locate a writer's credit for Sheryl's "All By Myself" and have yet to hear the exact song so I have no idea who did it originally. But the original Eric Carmen written song was sung by Eric Carmen; the original Broonzy version by Broonzy; the original Berlin version by, I believe, Ella Fitzgerald, although someone may have done it earlier, and the original Batholomew version of course by Fats Domino. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 13:09:47 PDT From: "David Ribeiro" Subject: Thanks Crew, All I asked was a little help for the "All by myself" question I had.

It first appeared in Hot CoCo, http://www.hotcoco.com/, the online edition of the Contra Costa Times. - -------------------- Comments from T-Bird: Here is a story I found in todays paper you would like to check out!!! - -------------------- Published on April 14, 1999 Sheryl: Still crowing despite her silly songs -- The versatile musician has outlived expectations by giving people what they like CONCERT REVIEW By Jim Harrington MANY PEOPLE have assumed Sheryl Crow's career wouldn't survive in the long run. Her 1993 release, Tuesday Night Music Club, was a huge commercial success, but critics dismissed her as a lightweight and gave her little chance of repeating the success. Two albums later, Crow has sold more than 16 million records and garnered six Grammys and shows no sign of disappearing. On Monday, she opened a two-night stint at Oakland's wonderful Paramount Theatre with an impressively solid set of mostly up-tempo tracks culled from all three of her releases. But the memory that this critic will take away from the evening doesn't really have anything to do with Crow. I'll remember sitting next to Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn during the show. It makes sense that Crow would draw a few celebrities. She's all show biz. Her concert was all about lights, video montages, and giving the people what they want. That's not a bad thing, but at times one wished Crow would leave the choreographed staging behind and be a little more real. Perhaps that is why the crowd never really got behind the show until the final -- hit-filled -- segment. Crow is touring behind last year's The Globe Sessions, which won a Grammy last month for best rock album. It's a solid work but, for the most part, the tracks received only a lukewarm response from this audience. Her fans still want to hear the older hits from Tuesday Night Music Club and the self-titled 1996 follow-up. The one exception came early on with My Favorite Mistake, a catchy song that has brought Crow another radio hit. Still, everyone was happy when Crow announced How about we play something that you know? and launched into If It Makes You Happy from her sophomore effort. Crow's new six-piece backing band was outstanding, and her voice was appropriately defiant, playful and strong, depending upon what was needed. She is showing more of a range than when she toured behind Tuesday Night Music Club. Crow is a also a versatile musician, and many people don't realize she played guitar, bass and a variety of keyboards on The Globe Sessions. In concert, she moved effortlessly between the bass and both electric and acoustic guitars. One of the most enjoyable moments came when Crow strapped on the acoustic guitar for a midtempo journey through Leaving Las Vegas, from the first album. Crow's best songs are those in which she takes random lyrics and combines them into nonsensical stanzas. They are simply the most fun. In a concert setting, this is only magnified. While more serious songs such as Run Baby Run and Redemption Day feel forced, Crow is somehow able to connect with her ridiculous slice-of-life pieces like Leaving Las Vegas. Even her version of Mississippi, a Bob Dylan-penned number included on The Globe Sessions, was fairly flat in concert. The two best songs of the evening clearly qualify in the don't-make-much-sense-but-we-like-them-anyway category. All I Wanna Do combines a great beat and a contagious chorus but -- with lyrics focusing on someone who's in a bar with a happy couple, some loser named Billy, and the intent to get a good beer buzz early in the morning -- deep it is not. But the crowd ate it up. With the exception of the Penns, just about everyone in the place was standing and singing along with the song. Strong Enough was a weak choice to open the encore set and Mississippi didn't do much. But then Crow launched into a revved up version of Everyday Is a Winding Road, from Sheryl Crow, another mostly nonsensical number. Still, Crow was passionate about the silly lines and the crowd members knew all the words. - -------------------- Address of original story: http://www.hotcoco.com/juke/music/stories/sue53230.htm (c) 1999 Contra Costa Newspapers ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 23:20:28 EDT From: RLmom2JJ@aol.com Subject: Monday April 12 Oakland Show Here's the setlist for the April 12 show: Maybe Mistake Change Vegas (humorous moves when she says "quit my job as a dancer at Lido Des Girls") Anything But It Don't Hurt (I love this song and could barely contain myself from standing up at the end when they were jamming) Riverwide Happy Am I? (LOVED the lights on this one and I DID stand up and dance for Part II and I was about the only one standing up I could see... one of the great things about being a "grownup" - I don't care what anyone else thinks!) Difficult Kind (it almost makes ME cry - such a gorgeous song) Redemption Day (preceded by landmine talk) All I Wanna Do Neighborhood (Video projections were especially effective on this song) ========= Strong Enough Mississippi Everyday =========== Home (good video projections with this song - sort of bittersweet) Sheryl was wearing the same outfit as when she sang MFM on SNL - dark flared low-riding jeans, cowboy boots and a rust and gold sleeveless short top. She had a bracelet on one upper arm. Other stuff - There are 3 busses of Sheryl people - 2 were there before 3:30 when we got there. The busses are a sort of tannish color. My friend Kelly and I spent a few hours in back of the theater in the afternoon along with 3 other fans and hoped to get a moment with Sheryl but the band's bus pulled RIGHT up to the door and she was hustled out and in to the theater surrounded by band and management (Scooter was in the lead). Most of the rest of the band came out at different times (they couldn't smoke inside) but no Sheryl. Scout, however, was walked twice - once by Scooter and Tim and another time by some roadie so we got to pet him. He's smaller than I thought he'd be :-) After awhile I started feeling pathetic, like I should get a life, so once the sun went behind the buildings (around 6:00) we left for our hotel and dinner and such. Semisonic opened the show and they were SO good. I really, really enjoyed them. For lack of a less cliched term, they rocked . Oh, and they seem to be very nice guys, too, as they came out in the afternoon and chatted and signed a bunch of stuff for these 2 14 year olds who were waiting for them which totally made the girls LIVES. Well before my 2 year old deletes this I'd better send it. Oh, and give a rousing welcome to my friend Kelly who just joined this list.

She's cool. So cool, in fact, that her Monday performance at Oakland's Paramount Theatre bordered on detached. Though fans of the six-time Grammy winner are devoted, most remained seated through the bulk of the show. Early on, she goaded them to get up and ``shake your asses.'' ``I'll be shaking mine all night,'' Crow smiled. The audience happily obliged for the tune ``A Change Would Do You Good.'' As soon as the next song started, though, they sat down again. Still, the slim guitar-picker has come a long way. She sounds less eager to please on her new album, ``The Globe Sessions,'' than she did on her smash 1993 debut ``Tuesday Night Music Club,'' more confident than on her self-titled follow-up. The accomplished new album provided at least half the set list for Monday's show, which the band performed to a full house. (Tickets were still available yesterday morning for a second show last night.) Crow opened the 95-minute set with ``Maybe That's Something,'' a shambling, mildly psychedelic tune. Like many throughout the night, the song featured a two-member string section -- her cellist is the East Bay's Matt Brubeck -- augmenting Crow's new four-piece touring group. During the song, old films of card tricks and levitations flickered on three panels behind the band. Texture is Crow's strong suit; she seems like the kind of person who would have a tastefully arranged home, stuffed with salvaged bric-a-brac. In stiff denim and a sleeveless Southwestern top, she planted her boots and splayed her ankles outward, leaning into her guitar. A thin armband on her strumming biceps accentuated her finely muscled frame. ``This song's about being a bad girl, I guess,'' she said, introducing another new one, ``The Difficult Kind.'' Some moments worked better than others. Crow's current hit, ``My Favorite Mistake,'' crackled with her bass playing and a guitar riff that made it seem like a newly unearthed Keith Richards nugget. Later, when time-lapse footage of blossoming roses and wildflowers appeared onscreen, one wag in my row dubbed it ``Georgia O'Keeffe Richards.'' Crow put more energy into that song, the defiantly carefree ``If It Makes You Happy,'' than other hits from her first two albums. Dismissing ``Leaving Las Vegas'' as a ``golden oldie,'' she performed it a bit carelessly. Toward the end of the evening, she finally succeeded in rousing the audience. ``This ain't the movies, if you know what I'm sayin','' Crow chided, adding a line to the familiar spoken intro of her spunky breakthrough song, ``All I Wanna Do'' (``This ain't no disco/ It ain't no country club, either''). That nudge hit the audience in the right spot. Accompanied by clips of crumbling towers and buildings, the Prince-style ``There Goes the Neighborhood'' strutted with funky attitude. ``Hey let's party, let's get down, let's turn the radio on/ This is the meltdown,'' Crow purred, pawing her open palms at the air as her acoustic guitar swiveled on her hips. After a brief break, the band returned for three encores -- the pleading, challenging ``Strong Enough''; ``Mississippi,'' a gift to Crow from Bob Dylan; and the bongo-thumping ``Every Day Is a Winding Road.'' Lots of folks were out the doors when Crow came back for one more encore. Seated at a piano, she murmured the fragile lullaby ``Home,'' accompanied only by violin and cello. Random home movies of young families in suburban back yards and older couples at Western-style picnics added melancholy to the song. It contrasted agreeably with Crow's party-girl image. Opening band Semisonic played a professional, musically flawless set that suffered from trite lyrics (``Hold on tight to what you believe in'') and obvious musical references (the keyboard-drums-fuzz bass lineup of Ben Folds Five). Still, the incoming crowd was won over by Semisonic's enthusiasm; people milled about the lobby at intermission singing the band's finale, the hit pickup- joint anthem ``Closing Time.'' ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V2 #82 ********************************
