I must confess I dig him more in solo (or acoustic format) but surely your tonight's concert is a rock'n roll one: Rock On!** Well then, you would have enjoyed last night's show, just John solo on acoustic, electric guitars and on piano. The place was packed to the rafters, you would have needed a shoe horn to get one more person in there, and a great audience too. Seemed like he played a long set, and then a 4-song encore to boot. He seemed very appreciatve of the warm welcome he was given. A great storyteller too! I've been a Hiatt fan ever since "Two-Bit Monsters" (almost 30 years ago) but this was the first time I'd seen him. And Em, I even enjoyed a 'kobeer' or 2.

From the Village Voice: "This sterility may be the result of elaborately arranged material: Timeless Tales is a record that succeeds because of the way the band interprets well-drafted blueprints. Maybe it's simply because a more eloquent ensemble (Brian Blade, Brad Mehldau, and Larry Grenadier) cut the disc. The studio take of Joni Mitchell's "I Had a King" teems with minute maneuvers--a hunt 'n' peck fantasia with a quicksilver flow. On stage its preciousness filled the air, as if the tune was played by instrumentalists, not improvisers." http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/9843/sotc.php ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 May 2004 09:05:06 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: "I had a king" cover?

I'd guess John Hiatt would like to continue his set with The Goners like in his last European tour (no Spain dates, I guess he's a complete unknow in this country of my sins) As for the warm audience: do you (all) shouted and waved your arms in high while he was singing his *great* Is Anybody There? (one of my fave songs from him, yes) on his piano? Regarding musicans telling stories on shows... I'd always loved it, and in fact I felt disappointed when in albums were no "chatting with the audience", although it's hard, really hard at times, for me to understand half the picture to it: in fact it's easier for to understand the lyrics (besides the huge amount of mondegreens) than all these stories... sigh!

Hi Bob :) glad you "enjoyed" the concert and the kobeers. Seems I mostly know John Hiatt from others' covers of his songs. Except for "Drive South"..that I associate with Mr. Hiatt alone.

This is pretty cool. Hi Sue (or anyone) what's your general impression of the music offered in the iTunes store?? I can't look because I'm still in OS 9.2 and the iTunes upgrade needed to get the iTunes store stuff requires OSX, which I'm not doing. (yet) Anyway, do they offer much "alternative" stuff? Like indie label stuff? Would love an iPod myself, a guy let me play w/his the other day and it was sooooo cool! Had some Joni on it too! So, I use the old iTunes for the radio feature and as an mp3 player, but the iTunes store remains a mystery to me. Was just wanting to get your's or anyone else's feedback on the selection of stuff available, if you feel like addressing that. Thanks and congrats on the nice new toy! Em ===== ...........

Always having to adjust myself, even having to stop the car and get out to have a good rearrange, only to have to do it again sooner rather than later. No more! The briefs keep it all in place.

Herman. No, just kidding...it's titled "Joni in Germany 1968, but I didn't hear anything that enforces that point. Half of the disc is Joni's set: Marcie Nathan La Franeer Dr. Junk Roses Blue Circle Game/Little Green medley I Don't Know Where I Stand Go Tell The Drummer Man Michael From Mountains And the other half is Geoff Muldaur, who is definitely in front of a German audience because he says he doesn't know any German and will speak in English.

I'm skeptical about the location too but I guess we may never know for sure. The complete title is "Joni Mitchell / Geoff Muldaur 1968 Germany (separate sets)". She was playing in England in September of 68 so Germany wasn't far away. On the other hand I noticed the audience was already familiar with Circle Game. No definite clues either way. Back to the Roses Blue story. A few weeks ago when I was at the Ottawa Public Library looking at the local newspapers from 1968 on microfilm, I came across a story on the local Wiccan scene. I just glanced at it while it rolled by. Unfortunately I didn't note the date and page number. I don't know if I'm up for searching for it again, my eyes haven't recovered yet from the last time.

My music is on there, I think-but my computer is too primitive to allow access. I have actually sold a couple of downloads! Yee Haw, that's 79 cents times two!!

Laura came to meet me at work with her aunt and baby Sonia. We all went to a noodle shop - in Wicker Park a trendy artsy hood here in Chicago and had dinner together. And in the middle of dinner laura pulled out her Mississippi saxophone (harmonica) and played a tune. I encouraged her to bring this to fest and join in the all night jam at the lez cottage. We talked a lot about the list and threw out some Joni-isms. It was lovely to meet her and I actually think I didnt freak her out too much - LOL! Thanks again Laura for a lovely time and for dinner! I wonder how many of you all I have met now. And just to let you all know - Chicago is HOT fun in the summer time! Soooo tune in - turn on and drop in! OOH and the "NIght in this city!"
