In April 2000, Jason headed to
Los Angeles to film a concert special
with Jessica Simpson for the Disney
Channel's In Concert series. Jessica
Simpson and Jason Raize in Concert premiered
on Disney on June 24, 2000, as part of
Disney's Sizzling Summer Weekend. The
special enabled Jason to introduce his
solo music to both his fans and a new
audience in anticipation of his debut
album NYC.
Jessica Simpson and Jason
Raize in Concert was a
one-hour special: Jessica performed in
the first half, while Jason performed
in the second. While the two stars did not perform
together, the special included footage
of Jessica and Jason playing
volleyball with their friends and
dancers at Will Rogers State Beach in
Santa Monica.
In his concert, Jason
performed:
"I Can Make it Without You"
"You Win Again"
"Lovin' You Lovin' Me"
"Run Away Girl"
"NYC"
The special also included
clips of Jason having fun in Los
Angeles: mountain biking, jet skiing,
visiting Disneyland with his dancers,
and talking to fans on the beach. Disney re-aired the concert
several times throughout the summer.
To promote the concert,
Jason participated in a ZoogDisney.com chat
on July 10, 2000. (At that time, the
Disney Channel referred to their teen
programming as "Zoog Disney" and had
robot-type characters called "Zoogs"
hosting the shows.) In the chat, Jason
said that the concert made him
"incredibly happy, and very proud of
my entire group."
