VH1 Summer Tour Countdown
May 25, 1999
    On Tuesday, May 25, 1999 at 7:30PM ET, VH1 in the U.S. aired a show called "Summer Tour Countdown!" There was a short story about the Tori & Alanis 5 1/2 Weeks tour (though they never actually called it that.) It included some brief footage from Tori's 1998 sneak preview club tour, some video clips like Jackie Strength and Crucify and an interview segment where Tori talked about what music means to her. They also played some of the Jackie's Strength dance mix in the background. They also aired some Alanis Morissette clips (The tour dates were shown over a small portion of Alanis' Grammy performance of "Uninvited.") There was a comment that although Alanis shows are "rock shows," Tori's performances are more intimate, and the two should complement each other well. The VJ said don't be surprised if you see them joining each other on stage. [Tori did say in a recent interview with radio station KROQ that she had not talked to Alanis about collaborating on stage.] Other artists featured in the Summer Tour special included the Dave Matthews Band, Blondie, and Jewel. Thanks to Laurel, Jeannette, Stephanie, Amy, and Bryan Cody for bringing this to my attention.
