Rather than the sinful Sapphic celebration the corpulent naysayer has warned of in recent weeks, the eight-hour festival displayed all the depravity of a Mother/Daughter Day. Sure there were some short-haired women holding hands and sporting piercings and tattoos -- although a great deal of the latter appeared temporary. But the predominantly female audience seemed disproportionately adolescent, or at least it felt that way every time they squealed in high-pitched delight. The crowd's "most favored status" fell, understandably, on the Canadian bands. Sarah McLachlan sightings were an all-day and incorrect constant, the most blatant occurring when a sizable contingency of teenage girls mistook Beth Orton, sadly and wrongly given a too-brief 20 minutes on the second stage, as McLachlan. McLachlan never joined any of the supporting acts. In fact the only time any band members cross-pollinated was in the show-closing, all-cast rendition of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." After McLachlan, the most popular Great Northern acts of the day were pop punkster Bif Naked and soul songstress Deborah Cox. Naked, also a second stager, had the crowd pogo-ing almost from the outset; her appeal rebellious but safe, sort of Britney Spears goes Goth. Nonetheless, she was far more enthusiastically received than main-stage opener Luscious Jackson, whose set preceded hers. The New York band was perky, but its slowly escalating 30 minutes never really caught fire, perhaps because many in the audience didn't seem to know them. Deborah Cox Cox, however, was electrifying, especially after the maudlin performance of Mya, whose high moments consisted of Jackson 5 covers and a painfully amateurish tap-dance routine. Cox had the house by the heart, a smooth, seasoned R&B pro with stellar pipes. And Cox was the beginning of a finishing hat trick that more than made up for the paucity of much of the days first four hours. Cox was followed by the explosive Sheryl Crow, and the singer-songwriter's raw-rock tirade -- far more fiery live than on record -- blew the stands and fans apart. Crow has always been engaging, but in her early years the appeal was often coquettish. Here it was all blood, bones, muscle, and soul. She clearly was the festival highlight. Starting with a chugging "A Change Will Do You Good," she continued with a series of body blows that included "My Favorite Mistake," "Everyday is a Winding Road," and the anthemic white-trash classic "If It Makes You Happy," a song that didn't request a sing-along so much as rip it from the audience's collective throat. Crow also bravely avoided older hits in favor of new material, again proving her undeniable growth. Sarah McLachlan After Crow, McLachlan should have been anti-climatic, but she wasn't. It's touching just how honored and adored McLachlan is in her homeland, and for her spirit and sincerity deservedly so. Beginning with "Possession," she had the audience joining her like an angelic choir, each word reverently mirrored. She truly glowed, appreciative not only of the love being showered upon her, but also at how gloriously the summer day had turned out. "We've been praying and begging," she said, beaming, "and the gods and goddesses smiled upon us." Hopefully now she can just brighten up the front half of the show. - -- Tom Phalen == Jeffrey Jerrold Chua | http://Sheryl.OnTheWeb.Nu Page me with Urgent in subject or http://PageJeffrey.OnTheWeb.Nu ___________________________________________________________ JEFFREY ONLINE MAIL Get your Free E-mail at http://JeffreyOnline.zzn.com - ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BECB3E.78B521A0 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="CDNOW allstar News Article Sheryl Crow, Deborah Cox Electrify At Lilith Fair.url" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="CDNOW allstar News Article Sheryl Crow, Deborah Cox Electrify At Lilith Fair.url" [DEFAULT] BASEURL=3Dhttp://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/redirect/leaf=3Dallstarart= icle/fid=3D12022 [InternetShortcut] URL=3Dhttp://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/redirect/leaf=3Dallstararticle= /fid=3D12022 Modified=3D20E36623FBCABE0110 - ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BECB3E.78B521A0-- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 15:22:15 -0400 From: "Christina Clark" Subject: covers Hi Crew, I was wondering if anybody could help me. I just received a tape of the March 07/97 concert of Sheryl's at Massey Hall in Toronto, and there are 2 covers on it, I don't know the names or origianl artists of either, but I recognize them. The first one has 2 lines in the chorus that go: "I'll be a do right all day woman, if you'll be a do right all night man." Then there is another song which my mom swears is a Johnny Cash song, but I don't know, I don't have any words for it either, but it is very upbeat, I'll try to get some lyrics for later, is she known to do Cash covers on her SC tour? Thanks for any help you can give me, Christina ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 01:59:00 EDT From: SCrow816@aol.com Subject: Re: Poster well personally i like the one where she is holding the guitar and walking out of the trailor or bus or whatever it is sorry i dont know if it is a poster or not but it may ber possible to have it enlarged and made into a poster somewhere if you want im not sure where you can get the done maybe if you try one of those photo touch up shops or a place that developes photos might be able to do it. if there is a poster out of that pic you might be able to find one on auction at ebay http://www.ebay.com I hope that helps a little, Shawn ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 02:12:23 -0500 (EST) From: David Subject: Cleveland I am definitely going to go now.
