Hey Everyone, Saturday night at Deer Valley with Jewel was simply amazing! Oh man, There are just no words to explain how wonderful the concert was. This was my fourth Jewel concert and by far the very best. Jewels perfomances were flawless and incredibly captivating and entertaining. She has, as you all probably know, a unique ability to...almost like she is able to take her heart and put it in your chest so you have an understanding, a clear picture what she feels and lives. She has an amazing way of doing this through performing her songs. She is as funny as heck too. Anyway, here are some pictures I took, she was a stunning sight to behold!

Thanks a million Maverick! They are excellent (and there are those wedge sandals again!)

Very jealous that I couldn't be there. If only I lived in the US. Did you manage to get a setlist or even remember some of the songs she played?

[maverick]

Well, let me see.

1. Intuition ( This one sounded wicked with the symphany behind her.)
She started out with her Mexico drug bust story (which was much more elaborate and detailed than I'v ever herd) Followed by,
2. You Were Meant For ME
3. Standing Still
4. Foolish Games (The Best I've ever heard, Better than the Nashville star performance!)
5. Good Bye Alice In Wonderland
6. Who Will Save Your Soul (She told the story of hichiking and only knowing four chords in a certain order and just kind of made up lyrics about the people she would see.)
7. Break me (an amazing performance as well, her voice...just angelic.)
8. Love me just leave me alone (This one rocked and had a neat sound with the symphany behind it as well.)
9. I'm not sure what this next one was called, I think... I won't walk away. She said she rarely played this one.
10. Hands ( She explained her feeling of this song and related it with the 9/11 attacks.

Encore:
1. Chime Bells (acapella)
2. Thump Thump ( She said that this song was going to be on her next country album)

She was going to sing more (somewhere over the rainbow) but some guy came on stage and said the show had to come to an end because of a curfew!?! It sucked but Jewel did stand up for us and wanted to go on but they woulden't let her.

That really sucks about the curfew!

You've got a great memory for not writing down all the songs! You got them all, just a little out of order I think.

I've posted the setlist on the wiki now:

And I'd love if you could e-mail me the full size copies of your pictures for use on the wiki? :)

It is hard to forget something so incredible. I took lots of pictures with my friends proffesional camera. She is going to burn me a disc with them all on it. She had just quickly e-mailed me the ones above. As soon as I get the others I will for sure send them to you.

Jewel's ethereal charm shines with Symphony

DEER VALLEY - Far removed from her early days, singing for Inuits and Aleuts in Alaska's remote tundra, singer Jewel shared Deer Valley's Outdoor Amphitheater with the Utah Symphony Orchestra to open this year's Deer Valley Music Festival.
The Grammy-nominated singer has won acclaim as a poet (A Night Without Armor), songwriter and actress. Her lyrics are often autobiographical, tracing the joys and pitfalls of life and fame. A natural synthesis of country, pop, rock, jazz and classical styles makes it difficult to pigeon-hole this artist.
The native of Payson, Utah, was welcomed back to her home state Saturday night by a sold-out audience of 5,000.
It didn't seem to matter to many of those who couldn't see the artist from their upper lawn seating, or that the sound was often muddy and unbalanced. A party atmosphere reigned with spirited conversation, popping corks and frequent wandering during the music.
More devoted fans crowded near and swayed to the singer's ethereal voice - at times feather light then darkening for added emphasis during the chorus for songs like "Standing Still" and "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland."
A breezy beat and reflective lyrics gave "You Were Meant for Me" an easy charm - much like the singer's entertaining storytelling talent between sets. (One story had her accompanying Mexican Federales on a south-of-the-border nautical drug bust.)
Jewel's jazzy, improvisational style was demonstrated during "Who Will Save Your Soul" as she traded scat-style riffs with Greg Suran's guitar playing. She showed off her rock chops in "Just Leave Me Alone," which also used the symphony's brass section to potent effect.
Encores included a masterfully yodeled "Chime Bells," which hit warp speed during the final chorus, and a new song from her country album, "Thump, Thump." She was primed for another encore when an off-stage official prompted her that there was a 9:30 p.m. concert curfew, thus bringing the program to an awkward halt.
The concert's all-orchestral first half featured the symphony's new (September 2006) assistant conductor in his Deer Valley Festival maiden voyage. He trotted out two works the orchestra has performed to exhaustion (Dvorak's "Carnival Overture" and Bernstein's "Selections from West Side Story") and a couple of other selections frequently on the symphony's pops playÂlist (the final dance from De Falla's "The Three Cornered Hat" and Ernesto Lecuona's "Malagueña").
Fortunately, the orchestra was in good form, playing with spirit and accuracy, but David Cho's conducting was undistinguished. He didn't do any real damage, but it would have been nice had he better managed tempo and dynamics for a less interpretatively generic reading.
Enjoying events at the festival's outdoor venue requires beating at least 2,500 people to the gate for prime lawn chair real estate or buying reserved seats - especially for Tony Bennett in August.
