==Background==
Following ''Voodoo''s release, D'Angelo embarked on his second international tour in support of the album. The tour was sponsored by the clothing company Levi Strauss & Co., and it featured D'Angelo promoting an end to gun violence.〔Rosen, Craig. (D'Angelo Wants To End Gun Violence ). Yahoo! Music. Retrieved on 2008-11-01.〕 After signing an initiative on June 7, 2000 at Hamilton High School in West Los Angeles to collect a million signatures by November 7 in support of "common-sense solutions" to end gun violence, the anti-gun violence organization PAX agreed to sponsor the tour.〔 The tour was also set to feature a wall composed of denim by Levi's, made available for fans to sign in support of anti-gun violence.〔 Consisting of a group assembled and directed by Questlove, the Soultronics, composed mostly of session personnel, the tour became one of the most attended shows of the year. According to a July 2000 issue of ''Jet'' magazine, the tour's first half "sold out in every city."〔Columnist. "(Hot Singer D'Angelo )". ''Jet'': 58–62. July 3, 2000.〕 It began on March 1, 2000 at the House of Blues in Los Angeles,〔Evan, Rob. (Chart-Topper D'Angelo Sets Tour Plans ). LiveDaily.
