S&L and DED were the first albums I got to listen to, and I love them both, but that's not why I'm writing. I remember having heard (of) her long before that, but I couldn't connect her with any specific tracks or even what she sounded like. She wasn't exactly an everyday figure here in Finland where I grew up. I guess I had the usual folkie image of her (DED took care of that misconception..) I was only one year old when STAS came out, so her early career was understandably a bit blurry in my memory. But in the 80's when I bought all the albums, I had almost a vision when I heard "Rainy Night House". I know there weren't videos those days when it came out, but I remember being sitting on the floor, watching an animated piece of music on TV. It wasn't a children's song, it was "adult music" but it wasn't boring(!). I must have been 5 or 6 and the track totally captured me then, it was haunting and exciting. I know RNH was never a single, but is it possible that this kind of animation was made for it? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning it here, so I'm afraid it must be some other track. But even in that case, does anyone have any idea if that kind of thing was common those days? It would be lovely to have that kind of Joni memory from my childhood. So please be gentle when you trash it! It's probably only some delirious dream I had when I had the measles! Other than that from TV those days, I only remember a low-voiced woman singing "Mr. Bojangles" in some TV special with really original, weird dancing. Lots of long legs taking really big steps..

I've also thought it is much-maligned and is a brilliant piece of work, but you brought much more insight into it. It is Joni's own brilliant manifesto on the mid-1980s when the lawyers, loan sharks and televangelists were going way on up the cash-and-flash rollercoaster.

This short set was worse that the first concert I ever went to - Iron Butterfly on the Inaggadadavida tour - hopeless, clunky, loud and stupid. Dave Alvin is *hardly* hopeless, clunky and stupid. He can, at times, be loud. A comparison to Iron Butterfly is ridiculous becuase their music and certainly lyrics are quite different. If you couldn't take Mr. Alvin loud then try his "King of California" CD on Rounder. It is his loud, rockin' music done acoustically--and done this way before the infamous MTV series. He is stylish, intelligent (musically and lyrically), poignant, and quite a guitar player. I thought his set in Chicago was great and I was thrilled to see him. Maybe you were anticipating Joni so much that you dissed Dave Alvin becuz he got in the way of your seeing/hearing her sooner. If you like Joni, who can be a tough listen at times, I don't understand how you wouldn't give Dave Alvin a chance, at least. You dismissed him without a thought.

I made some tapes to take with me--hopefully to trade, but that was a foolish dream. Anyway, one of the albums I recorded was Dog Eat Dog and as we were traveling one day, I was listening to it on my Walkman. One of the Soviet students (who spoke/speaks excellent English) asked to hear it what I was listening to and immediately fell in love with it.

Mark in Seattle aka 'El Toro' ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 21:22:54 -0500 (EST) From: Sue Subject: Visible Joni (beware - LONG) I am going to relate the "mockingbird story" that Joni told to us Wednesday evening. First off, let me say that I felt like I was caught by Star Trek's tractor beam when Joni and I make eye contact that night. I just stood, transfixed, listening as she turned her anxiousness on stage into this wonderful analogy. As she was walking from the bar to the elevator, with the JMDL contingent following her, she suddenly stopped by the cushy chairs that were the site of the first "close" encounter earlier that afternoon. I had left the bar a bit before the group, so I was lingering in the foyer area. She caught up with me, the group tailing her, and began to tell us of the mockingbird. The story went something like this: When I lived in Laurel Canyon there was this mockingbird that sang so sweetly in the evenings. It was funny though, because when a car would come up the hill, the bird would stop singing. As soon as the sound of the car engine faded away, the bird would resume it's wonderful song. Now, you can read into this what you will, but I took it as an explanation of why the distractions sidetracked her singing. What a wonderful way to evoke what she was feeling on stage without being judgmental of the audience. I wish she would be comfortable enough to incorporate this story into her set if she gets distracted in the future. Alrighty, now for the details of the third meeting. To say that we Detroiters know how to party would be an understatement. Let's just say that the thrill of meeting Joni twice in one day, then seeing a smoking performance, was way better than any drug. I think we were all buzzing from a natural high that kept us up late in the evening. Most of the group didn't stay at the hotel. Robbert had to leave for Toronto, Kelly needed to get home before her husband started to worry, Terry and Marian played and entertained us for quite a while, but even they were too spent from the exciting day. Amy decided at the last minute to spend the night in her own bed, and Jeanne needed to get home too. That left Jim, Mary and I. Since the suite was so large the three of us managed to have sleeping arrangements that were very private and comfortable. Ninja Jim, as I will always think of him now *G* had to be up and gone early. Mary and I never even knew he had left! I am an early riser by nature, so when I woke up and saw the sun, that was all the sleeping I was going to do. I busied myself by cleaning up the debris created by blissful listers. The morning was golden and warm so when my cleaning was done I retired to the balcony to soak up what may be the last warm morning of 1998. As smoke drifted up from the room below I daydreamed that Joni was sitting on the second floor doing the same. Mary rolled out of bed around 10:00, and we began to talk about departure plans. After a few phone calls to Terry and Jeanne we had things figured out and got packed up and ready to go. I kept going over to my book that Joni had signed, opening it and smiling at the inscription "Hello Sue". I caught Mary looking at me and felt a tinge of guilt at the memory of her saying that she didn't get Joni's autograph at either of the chance meetings yesterday. I slowly closed the cover of the book and slipped it into the ziplock bag for safe storage on the journey home. We had quite a bit of food left over that I wanted to return to Terry so I knew that there would be at least two trips out to my car. I took the first load out while Mary was rounding up her things. When I got back to the room Mary and I managed to get the rest of our stuff down to the lobby to check out. There was still too much for me to take to my car in one trip and Mary had to wait in the lobby for Jeanne who had kindly offered to take her to the airport. As I was walking back to the hotel, singing Crazy Cries of Love, who was standing outside talking to the bellman????? Of course you know who! She looked great, wearing the same outfit as the day before, but we can forgive her as she was traveling. Mary and I darted outside to wait alongside her. My eyes about bugged out, seeing Joni in the full sunlight. What beauty to see her blonde hair shimmering in the autumn sun. She smiled in recognition of something, I thought maybe it was us, but it was across the street. "Kline Gallery" Mary heard her say, and away she went. We thought that was it for us, and Mary's last chance was lost. Luckily we were wrong, and she steered back to our side of the street. Two other fans got to her first, and I stood behind Mary, goading her into getting out the CD she wanted signed. We looked in vein for the pen that Joni had used to sign my book, but had to settle for an old bic. The couple left Joni just as an emerald green Expedition driven by Larry Kline pulled up to the door. I walked on, encouraging Mary all the way. That was when our meek little Mary stood up and did what I couldn't all three times we had seen Joni. She called out her name just as Joni was stepping up the door of the vehicle. Mary asked Joni to sign her Taming the Tiger CD. Joni did so, graciously, even though her ride was waiting. Mary told her how much she enjoyed the concert and how great the band sounded. Joni reiterated that she really liked playing with the guys. She and Mary said their goodbyes. Timing is everything in life. In these two incredible days, it was the stuff that dreams are made of (Colin, that Carly lyric quote was for you!). In another post I will tell you more details of Joni at the hotel bar. Did anyone mention that we got a sneak peek of her new book? Take care listers!

This was what I remember the most about her, too, along with the visible aura/radiance that surrounds her. When I met her she got up right in my face and aimed that eye on me. It was amazing. There were sparklers coming out of it, I swear. I remember describing this experience to my mother who said "that's the sign of a person who is completely honest and truthful and it probably gets her into trouble." Ha! I, of course, told that our official motto is "Joni Mitchell never lies." Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 22:17:11 -0500 From: Anne Madden Subject: Toronto Concert I agree with Brett's earlier review about Joni putting on a great show. She seemed in fine form, her voice was very strong, she was happy and smiling and had good interaction with the audience. Her band was great. This is the first time I have seen her and I wasn't diappointed. I was pleasantly surprised by her setlist - it had great variety. Someone said in an earlier post the famous high cheekbones were gone - her face was much rounder. From where I was sitting, she still had those great cheekbones, she was dressed very elegantly and looked lovely. Brett wrote: <<<>>> I honestly did not hear anyone being loud or obnoxious or heckling Joni or giving her a hard time. At the end of the show she thanked Toronto and she got a thunderous ovation for her efforts. I would add though my own personal thoughts about Joni appearing at a venue like this as a double bill - it almost invites the kind of behaviour some of the members have talked about - hecking, etc. Someone else gave an example of Mary Chapin Carpenter singing at a show and someone yelling for the Mavericks who were also on the same bill. There were many many Joni fans at this concert, on either side of me and in front and behind me. Some left and didn't return when Bob appeared. On the other hand about half an hour into Joni's set 3 people got up and left and returned later for Bob. If people are not enjoying an act this certainly is the courteous thing to do. On the other hand there were 3 young guys sitting behind me who yapped the whole time Joni was on, saying she was too jazzy for them and that they couldn't wait for Dylan. They were not loud, just annoying. Thank God a young lady beside me turned around, glared at them and said "maybe you should wait outside if you think she's no good". That did the trick, they clammed right up! I'm sure there are times that kind of reaction would backfire. I wish Joni would appear at a smaller venue where she was the main headliner. Everyone going to the show would be a fan and know exactly what to expect. They wouldn't need some ignorant reviewer to tell them if the show was any good or not but then again true Joni fans can make up their own minds! Brett, it was great to meet you - you certainly get around! Anne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 22:39:49 EST From: RMuRocks@aol.com Subject: DED, Concerts Yo Don!

But the striking blond actress, best know for playing Kelly Bundy on Fox TV's Married with Children, could easily have been Mitchell's muse.

Postel" Subject: Joni@Indy on Sonic Net Saw the following on SonicNet music news: Legendary rock-songstress Joni Mitchell lashed out at two concert-goers seated in the orchestra section of Indianapolis' Market Square Arena during her show there Monday with folk-rock icon Bob Dylan. Disturbed by the two mimicking and mocking her, Mitchell is said to have shouted: "You a--holes ... yes, you! ...You're ruining my performance. ...You're ruining it for everybody. ... You rude little f---s! ... You're getting drunk, and if you're waiting on Bobby, then why don't you leave?" The crowd cheered its support of Mitchell strongly, according to brothers Bob and Tom Hanna, members of the Joni Mitchell Internet Discussion List, who also were seated in the orchestra section, and who added that Mitchell explained further to the audience, "They're mimicking the way I move. ... It's inhibiting. ... We're human up here. ... It's not a movie." Mitchell and her band then broke into a ferocious rendition of her song "Sex Kills." Mitchell's publicist could not be reached for comment. Chad Bosworth of Indianapolis-based Sunshine Promotions, which set up the concert, said no actions were taken by arena officials to quiet the offending two, since the situation quickly got under control once Mitchell addressed them. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V3 #450 ************************** Don't forget about these ongoing projects: FAQ Project: Help compile the JMDL FAQ.
