Hi,
It was wonderful to read the posts from the people who listened and watched
over the web yesterday. It was like the countdown to a liftoff of some new
and wonderful space vehicle.
I am still so filled with emotion from yesterday's show. We were SOOoooo
close. I blew her a kiss and she looked over at us JMDLers, made direct eye
contact, and said thank-you.
WHAT A DAY!!!! WHAT A LADY!!!

Subject: Stalwarts/Woodstock redux
Hi everybody-
Today in our local paper, The Dispatch, there is a small article on the Garden:
"And estimated crowd of 20,000-plus attended the second day of the 29th
Woodstock Anniversary festival in Bethel, N.Y., Saturday. Woodstock
originals Pete Townsend, Richie Havens and Melanie took the stage Saturday,
as well as 1960s stalwarts Joni Mitchell and Lou Reed."
Now can someone explain to me what is a 'stalwart?' It sounds like some
disease you would get in a public restroom...
There is also a small picture of various 30-somethings strewn about the
grounds. No sight of the JMDL flag, though.
Hope someone taped this fine concert!!!

I was channel surfing last night and one of those Jeopardy like music shows
was
on VH1 - (Generation?)
The category was Hall Of Fame and the answer was:
The singer of "Help Me" also sang "Story Weather" at a 1998 benefit concert
backed by the El Nino orchestra.
And the question is: Who is Joni Mitchell....

Be proud, but be aware that the JMDL section was a tiny fraction of
those cheering. After Lou Reed's set, I expected the crowd around me
to thin out, but instead people rushed to the front to position
themselves for Joni. There were many signs (ours the best of course,
thanks to Sue Cameron!), a guy with roses, and general warm and fuzzy
vibes. One of the signs said, "CAN I GIVE YOU A HUG?" and Joni
responded by hugging the air. So cute!!
I hope Joni got the message that she is loved and appeciated.

From: "Deb Messling"
Subject: Joni at the Garden (Deb's impressions)
Some sketchy observations:
Can you spell GORGEOUS? Joni, with your bone structure, it's
easy for *you* to say "happiness is the best facelift." I've never
been this close to Joni before, and it was such a treat to see every
facial expression and gesture with such clarity.
Cutest moment: she pulled out a disposable camera and snapped a
picture of the crowd.
She appeared warm and relaxed, albeit not as chatty as at some shows.
She gave the standard intro to "Magdalene Laundries."
I was very impressed that she did not pander to feelings of
nostalgia and Woodstock-era self-congratulation. She called the
Woodstock event "a pocket of liberty" and said that the sixties
generation got a chance to experience living as a minority in this
culture. (To my ears, she seemed about to say that we didn't retain
the lesson, but maybe that's my ears). She said that the main value
she retained from Woodstock was the idea of the Rainbow Coalition
(huge cheers).
Favorite performances: I loved them all, but I was unexpectedly
delighted with "Trouble Man." Smoking! Also really liked
"Slouching," "Sex Kills," and "Black Crow." Guess I was in the mood
for loud.
The overall Experience: how delightful to meet so many JMDLers. We
are a well-mannered, intelligent, and extremely good-looking bunch,
are we not??
I heard a lot of disparaging talk about Visa/MasterCard, expensive
food, and too many rules, but at my age I appreciated the efficient
organization of the festival. For all that, I happened to sit in
front of a couple of druggie burnouts always on the verge of
collapsing on me. When they lit up a cigarette I thought for sure my
hair was gonna catch fire. Such is life.

Subject: Joni at the Garden (Somewhat long)
HELLO!!!!!!
What a day for this old teenager ;-) !!!!
Singing - "The first time a saw Joni there were 30,000 strong!" (approx.)
Whew!
She was radiant! She was escorted on stage on the arm of Brian Blade. They
were both beaming! She was wearing a tan canvas camp hat (I want one). She
had on a chocolate colored outfit with the jacketed over part having a
black vertical stripe through it. She took that off almost immediately and
rolled up her elbow length sleeves up over her shoulders because it was so
hot and muggy. The crowd cheered! Joni gave a campy little up pull on her
blouse as a playful tease! She has a great sense of humor. Her outfit was
accented by a jade colored beaded necklace that was loosely tied in a knot
and jade colored dangle earrings. The pants of her outfit were a madrid
style (loose and up over the ankle) and she was wearing brown, open-backed
flat, sandals with a leather piece that comes between her toes. All earth
tones! Simply lovely! Her nails were painted a dark mauve color. She had on
a beautiful silver bracelet on her left hand with a gold ring on her middle
finger and (what's this!) it appeared to be a diamond on her ring finger.
Set in silver (?) white gold (?) it was hard to tell. Sue Cameron and I
were discussing this. It may have been an opal. It was so shinny!
Hopefully, one of the other JMDLers wrote down the set list (Deb?).
She performed: Hejira (opened), Crazy Cries of Love, The Magdalene
Laundries, Black Crow, Sex Kills, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Facelift,
Just Like This Train, Big Yellow Taxi and she encored with Woodstock to
which the crowd was very pleased! Those are NOT in order and I know I left
out a few. It is from memory, though. One that I can assure you, this
JMDLer will NEVER forget! The JMDL was well represented: Amy, Brian & his
wife, Brian Gross, Deb, Kate, Sue Mc, Kai, Simon, Robert, Sue & Nate
(thanks for the wonderful sign!), Don & Gene, Mendi, Lori (where were
you?). If I left anyone out, please forgive me. I'm still very tired.
After traffic and all I didn't get home till 3:00 am.
Joni has alot of fans. As put by Deb in an earlier post, I too was
surprised by the rush of people to the front for Joni. This was sooo great
to see! She has to see that we all love her!
Larry Kline, when not playing, was always just off to the side with this
big grin on his face - just smiling at Joni. He knew she was just
thoroughly enjoying this concert.
I'll write more later as my old gray matter remembers more. I'm going to
have some breakfast now.
Oh what a day yesterday was for me! It felt so surreal!
Heather
PS - Melanie was good, Donovan was good, Ritchie Havens was excellent, Lou
Reed stunk (never performed "wild side" and Pete Townsend wasn't very good
from what I could hear (all my humble opinion)

Subject: JONI MITCHELL AT THE GARDEN
I'm still on cloud 9 but I would like to just run off a quick note to all
my fellow gardeners and the list that I had a phenomenal experience
yesterday, and although the ultimate dream did not come true (I did not
meet Joni personally) being in the press line right in front of the stage
was more than I ever hoped for and I wept openly during her first three
songs!
I'm sorry I was not able to meet up with the gardeners after Pete
Townshends set but as Brian can attest to I twisted my ankle three times
walking in at 9:00 a.m. and by the time I met up with my brother in the
middle of Pete's set my ankle looked like a balloon! I decided not to
navigate the crowd back to the front row and after the concert drove back
home. I wanted to get a shot of all of us in front of the Woodstock
memorial but the day was just a whirlwind. I loved meeting all of you and
LET THE JONI CONTENT COMMENCE!! I will be writing my full report this
afternoon and also I am going to get my four rolls of film from Joni's set
developed.
PEACE AND LOVE!!! JONI MITCHELL NEVER LIES!!
My eternal thanks to Frank Tortorici for being my media press pal and
showing me the ropes. I had a great time, Frank!! Take care, Sue

Subject: Lillith Fair - Emmylou Harris, etc. (NJC)
Yesterday I went to see the Lillith Fair in Toronto. I had great seats and
a wonderful view of the stage. I have never seen Liz Phair before and after
reading all the comments on this list I was curious. I'm sorry to say she
didn't do a whole lot for me.
She's not a bad singer but her band was way too loud - the bass was
overpowering and the whole sound drowned out her vocals. After the show the
audience gave her polite applause. During one of her songs Natalie Merchant
came out dancing across and around the stage - what a riot! Actually Liz
got a real kick out of Natalie. It took everyone in the audience a minute
to figure out who this crazy person was! Next up was Emmylou Harris - I am
a huge fan of hers. She was amazing - she was in great form, her singing
was incredible and her band Spyboy is first class. Her drummer, Brady Blade
is so good. On a couple of songs Sarah McLaughlan's husband Ash, came out to
join Brady on drums - it was awesome. When the set was over Emmylou got a
rousing ovation, not bad considering a lot of the crowd was probably under
30. Next up was Paula Cole. I must admit I am not a fan, so I was
pleasantly surprised by her performance. She put on a great show and had
the audience eating right out of her hand. She put her heart and sole into
it, dancing, playing the piano - she was very good. Next up was Natalie
Merchant. A quote from the Toronto Star (Canadian newspaper)
- - "Natalie Merchant could sing the telephone book and make it sound good".
Natalie was incredible. She sang and danced her way through her set as well
as played the piano. Near the end of the set a swing dropped from the
ceiling. Natalie playfully sat on the swing and sang "Thank You". She got
a standing ovation, (well deserved) and right at the end her little daughter
came on stage with her. The last act was Sarah McLaughlan who didn't
disappoint the crowd either.

I saw that show. I also saw another one like it where the question was
something like 'this singer recently found the daughter she gave up for
adoption in 1965'. NONE OF THE CONTESTANTS KNEW THE ANSWER. I, of
course, was appalled.

Subject: Joni On!!! At The Garden
Joni sprinkled star dust all over the entire performance at The Garden.
The audience soaked it up and collectively gave back volumes of love in
return. All of us were happily surprised by the volume of people who
closed in around us when it was time for Joni to take the stage. It was
body to body touching. All of a sudden out in this large expanse there
was hardly any air to breathe. What air was left was warm to hot as
people attempted to fill even the tiniest of real-estate that was or
was not claimed by people or possessions. It's true that with other
performers the crowd would press in a bit. But with no stretch of the
imagination it became sardine time for Joni's set. The JMDL was up
front and center. It was GREAT to see that we were not alone in our
love for Joni. We would start a chant of "Joni! Joni!" those around
us picked it up with heartfelt intensity. Many around us had signs
expressing their love and gratitude. In my next post I will speak more
about the JMDL'ers and that special connection, for now.... Joni.
JONI - I was at the Gorge and I thought it was truly special. I put
The Garden right up there and in some ways better. Why? Many reasons,
IMHO.
1) Joni's voice was on, on, on. Sue C. made a statement after the
concert, at Don's camper where some of us gathered, that had a lot of
merit. Her comment suggested that Joni could put her guitar down and
jazz you with her vocals in real style. She knew what she wanted to do
with her voice and she did it.
2) Her voice was sure and full of confidence, she sang and moved with
ATTITUDE.
3) At the Gorge you could sense that the band was helping her to ride
the waves. There was nothing bad about that. I have some endearing
memories of some of those moments.
At the Garden the band knew that Joni was full center and centered. Joni
needed them to play great and they did. But she didn't need them to be
confidence boosters. She had it and showed it off.
4) The audience was there to hear, to be reconnected or enlightened, to
enjoy and be a part of what was being offered. It cant be over state, a
large part of the audience was there to hear Joni. even if some had not
kept up with her over the years. Joni had to feel the love.
5) The strong representation of the JMDL. Good people with good hearts
and a real love of Joni and her music. To have so many of us there to
share this special time with was the icing on the cake of great music
that Joni prepared and served with such class.
It was a joy to be a part of. I'm still hazed out but feeling great.
To all that I had the pleasure to meet and reconnect with from the
JMDL, the biggest of hugs.
It was a GREAT DAY IN THE GARDEN.
More later. Mendi

Subject: Garden report
First of all, I must say that it was really fun meeting everyone! It added a
lot to the whole experience. What an amazing, incredible, glorious day it
was!! My husband, Phil, and I bought two of the wildly overpriced ponchos as
insurance against the rain and, what do you know, it worked! So thank us for
the dryness! Did anyone notice that during Joni's set the sky went blue for
the first and only time that day? What does this mean?
I'll tell you, I was close to tears during her first song, she's so totally
cool and in control. At first I thought that maybe her voice cracked, but then
I realized that her voice don't do nothin' that she don't want it to do! I
couldn't help comparing this show to the first one I saw in 1969. Sure, she
had that sweet angel soprano then (and I'm glad to have a bootleg recording of
that show!) but now her voice has such depth and richness and sensuality. And
in those days she seemed terrified between songs. Now she obviously enjoys
herself, seems so comfortable with the crowd, the music, with her own body.
She comes across as a paragon of sagacity, an elder blessing us with gifts
from heaven.
The whole day so far exceeded my very high expectations. I'm so grateful that
I was there, that Phil was with me, that I met so many lovely people, and that
it didn't rain!
My love to all the great JMDLers I met, I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance
to meet everyone that was there. The day sped by. Phil said on the way back to
the Bates Motel where we stayed that her set seemed short. I agreed but told
him that she could have played for three days straight and on the forth day we
would complain that it was too short!
Wally, you really were missed, but we were thinking of you!
Peace & Love-

Hi there,
Vacation's over for this year and summer's rapidly fading.....
Time to get to work again:
I'd like to let you all know about a CD that's been spinning
a LOT in my CD player this summer:
PF Sloan - Still On The Eve Of Destruction (All The Best 311)
This record is full of new songs by the man who wrote "Eve
Of Destruction" and "Secret Agent Man" (both appears here in
new versions, as well as 8 new, original songs.)
The backing is done by members of both The Posies and Fresh
Young Fellows. Strong songs and great performance!
If you can imagine a Jimmy Webb with a twist or an older, wiser
Matthew Sweet, I'm sure you can imagine what it sounds like!

I agree about Jane Siberry - Sheeba (her one-woman operation) seems to be
picking up very nicely, and in the messages she sends out periodically, we get
a real sense of what she's like, and what it's like for her to be running the
whole show herself. I find it heartening and inspiring. As someone who has
toyed with the idea of breaking off working for The Man and doing something
meaningful with my life, I take great encouragement from Jane's perseverance
and humanity.
And a word about What She Does, the music. I was listening to "Oh My My"
recently, and was struck by what a breathtaking piece it is. I imagine there
must be a fair few Sib fans on the JMDL; if anyone hasn't heard it, I can only
tell you it is a work of unalloyed genius. It's on the "Maria" album, it's 20
minutes long, and its only fault is that it ends too soon!

I like this idea. She doesn't need an opening act, but having the band do a
few instrumentals before the singer comes on is a tried and true jazz
tradition, and since she's doing standards like Summertime and Comes Love,
it's appropriate.
