00:01Welcome to Lil Affair!
00:05Singer Sarah McLachlan has launched an all-female tour.
00:08This was the first time you'd seen anything like it.
00:16Finding out that all of my favorite artists had played at this event.
00:20The Lil Affair bill is incredible.
00:21All it's all, Suzanne Bigot.
00:22Erica Badoo.
00:23Sinead O'Connor.
00:24Missy Elliott.
00:25Sarah McLachlan.
00:26Sheryl Crow.
00:27Jewel.
00:28I was in disbelief that I'd never heard of it before.
00:30Promoter said, you can't put two women on the same bill.
00:33People won't come.
00:34That's complete bullshit.
00:37And it put a huge fire under my butt to prove them wrong.
00:51There wasn't a lot of support for women.
00:53We weren't able to do what it was we knew we could do.
00:55I belong.
00:57Representation for women in rock music wasn't there.
01:00And worse, you're being pitted against each other.
01:02Look at all these summer festivals.
01:04They're all male dominated.
01:07Lilith became a freight train.
01:09Like holy smokes, this took on a life of its own.
01:12I've waited my whole life for this.
01:15Is this the camera I look into when I cry?
01:16If it makes you happy.
01:17Do that, Sheryl Crowley.
01:18If you stand up for something, there is going to be an equal and opposite reaction.
01:31Come out of night.
01:33Jerry Falwell is going after the Lilith Fair.
01:35Says the tour is named for a demon.
01:39We had a bomb threat.
01:40People want to blow us up.
01:41I'd never seen that kind of anger.
01:44The progress, as we know, always finds a way.
01:50I'm grateful to be here today.
01:51My heart is truly glad.
01:52Sarah McLachlan brings out the love of all of us.
01:55Woo!
01:56My welcome into the industry was by Sarah McLachlan and Bonnie Rae.
02:01Nothing changed me until I witnessed for the first time Lilith Fair.
02:07Women singer-songwriters in the 90s, I'm constantly looking to them for inspiration.
02:12We're my northern stars.
02:13This is much bigger than what we even thought it could be.
02:15We changed the world a little bit.
02:17This has been an amazing ride.
02:22I've loved every minute of it.
