Jewel - VH-1 Storytellers, Metropolis Studios, New York City, 6-9-1999

Next for the "VH-1 Storytellers" series is the episode featuring Jewel (a.k.a. Jewel Kilcher).

It terms of popularity, Jewel peaked early. Her first album, "Pieces of You" in 1995, sold twelve million copies in the U.S. Her second one, "Spirit," sold four million. Her next one in 2001 would sell about a million, and sales would decline further from there. So it made sense that VH-1 wanted her to do an episode in 1999, while she was still touring to support her "Spirit" album.

She only performed three songs from that album, "Hands" (the big hit from the album), "Jupiter," and "What's Simple Is True." Most of the rest were from her first album, including the big hits "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "You Were Meant for Me."

Normally, all of the performances from these albums are unreleased. But the version of "Who Will Save Your Soul" here made it to a various artists compilation of Storytellers performances.

I'm not quite sure what's up with the sourcing here. At 53 minutes, it's longer than the 44 minute long video of this episode found on YouTube. The last two songs were not included in that video. So perhaps this is a bootleg of more. But if that's the case, I would expect to be well over an hour long, since all the other bootlegs of full performances are of that length. Oh well. At least it all sounds like it comes from one source, and we don't have the usual problem of the first song being cut off.

This album is 53 minutes long.
