Band: Jewel Location: Interlochen, MI, USA @ Kresge Auditorium Date: July 5th, 2002
Equipment: Mini Disc --- Giant-Squid Powered Battery Box Binaural > Sony MZ-R700 Taping Position: 6th Row From Stack, Center
Notes: For some reason, I've always liked Jewel's music. I actually bought 'Pieces Of You' way back in '94 or '95, I think (when it came out). My wife bought, um, her second album & its not too bad. So, I decided to go see this show with my best-man Justin. Thankfully, we didn't look like two homosexuals having a romantic night out although he did his best to say things like "why are you walking in front of me, I'm sorry about earlier...come here man, I need a hug.... why don't we communicate anymore" just to piss me off. Fucker. Anyway, Jewel was pretty good this night. It was a completely sold-out show at a place where she graduated high school from, Interlochen Academy in Interlochen, MI. I grew up around these parts & believe me Jewel is a -big- name to come on tour. The kind of band Traverse City pulls in are REO Speedwagon, Journey, Kansas & their ilk & also soft rock like Natalie Cole & George Benson. For those that don't know, Interlochen Academy is a place where gifted rich kids go to pursuse music instead of basic education like a public school high school diploma. Hell, Jewel was there so it's cool, right? I was quite amused when the power was cut/blown during 'Hands' - she sat by the stage as the technicians tried to figure it out & signed autographs for fans who were standing down there, like Interlochen students - pretty cool, really. The thing I can't figure out is... Jewel blew the power at a concert? What alternate dimension is Interlochen living in where Jewel blows anything...power-wise, of course? Tickets were fucking expensive - $45. Tell you, it was worth it. I'd go see Jewel again but bring Sarah for sure - definietly a chick show. Oh yeah, I feel a little bad about this but I couldn't help but stare at her bouncing, assets, throughout the performance, was very close to the stage + stack. During one of her acoustic songs, Sarah called me - it was appropriate I think. Also, this recording is incomplete. I had no idea that Jewel would play longer than 80 mins - she played for a little under 2 hours straight w/3 encore songs. Even left before it was entirely done.
