Jewel Gets A Little Help From Audience Member:
If you really want to meet Jewel face to face, you might
consider bringing her CD with you to one of her concerts.
Last night at Jewel's sold-out show in Mountain View,
California, she invited one lone audience member up on stage
just because he had her debut album, "Pieces of You," in his
backpack. |
Halfway through the show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre,
Jewel paused between songs. "Does anyone out there have a
copy of 'Pieces of You,'" she asked unexpectedly. "With the
case and the front cover?" A boy came to the front row,
pulling the CD from his backpack. "I forgot the lyrics to this
song," Jewel explained to him and the audience. "Will you
hold them up for me while I sing?" He did so, happily
mouthing the words to "Little Sister" while holding the lyric
sheet up for Jewel.
Aside from this and her three big hits
"You Were Meant For Me," "Foolish
Games," and "Who Will Save Your
Soul?" Jewel offered little from her
earlier album of songs composed at the
age of nineteen. Most of the night's
material came from her latest release,
"Spirit." The quiet, well-behaved crowd
listened intently for most of the show,
except for a few passionate shouts from audience members
professing their love for the singer.
Later in the show, Jewel invited her fans who were sitting
way up on the lawn to come closer. As young concertgoers
began flocking to the stage, she asked one thing: "Just be
gentle and don't smash each other."
Jewel heads on to Portland, Oregon for a show tomorrow
night.
