I too would love to know if there's any footage of this performance. That day in Edmonton was one of the most incredible of my life and I met up with some wonderful people whom I have often wondered are on the list at all. One of the luckiest parts of those days in '94 was that we didn't even know Joni was playing when we left the UK for a 3 week holiday booked in Canada. We saw an advert in a Calgary paper quite by chance and tried to get tickets. In addition, there was only one possible day that we could see Joni, as our flight home was booked for a Friday morning and the festival was 4 days, Thursday till Sunday. Only if Joni played the Thursday evening would we be able to go - and, of course, amazingly, she was playing that Thursday night! So we drove from Calgary and planned to go back for our flight home first thing Friday morning. We were told we had tickets booked, (but they didn't show and that was another long story). When we eventually arrived in Edmonton, we were queuing up in the early afternoon outside the festival site sharing Joni stories with 4 other people. Steph thought she heard Joni sound checking. We had by chance in the morning met the event organiser (anoher long story) who had given us his business card, so we nipped round the side, showed the business card to security together with flowers we had for Joni (just in case we happened to bump into her, as you do) and they let us in to the sound check to give Joni the flowers! She played piano during the sound check I remember, but didn't at the gig. Joni was most gracious, as always, liked the flowers and we had a little chat. She then was driven off back to her hotel BUT we were in the arena and it was such a chance to bag the best places for the gig! We decided to take a risk so Steph stayed on in the arena after the sound check, helped out and looked like she was official whilst I went back to the get the bags and camera we'd left outside. Steph was in the arena for about four or five hours and nobody asked her to leave because she was helpful, I guess! I went back out to get our stuff which was on the pavement, but the queue had moved but fortunately our new friends had looked after our bags. I was so grateful that and they took care of it for us and carried and kept our bags safe when the queue moved. I told them all about the sound check, but it was also quite a nightmare because then Steph and I's tickets hadn't shown up at the desk and she was inside and I was out! However, I managed to buy a couple more (using Steph's credit card) BUT the good bit was that Steph had grabbed us and our new friends the front area!!! It was FANTASTIC. Whilst waiting for the show to start, we were all interviewed by the Edmonton Journal about our love of Joni's music and we all had tales to tell. I think one couple were honey mooning at the gig and the others had driven across from Ottawa just to see Joni. Of course, we were over from the UK on the very last day of our holiday. I hadn't seen Joni play since Paris in 83,so to be there for this first appearance in 10 years was extraordinary to me and then to see Joni play AND make the front page ourselves the next morning - well, it was magical. I have often gone on and on about synchronicity on this list, but those few days, getting to the gig, meeting Joni again and all the events along the way are a book in themselves, as you can see! I'd love to know if there's any footage of this event. It would bring back the most wonderful memories (not that I've forgotten much, it would seem :))) Love Anita Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 14:20:32 -0400 From: Susan McNamara Subject: Edmonton Folk Festival 1994 It was billed as Joni's first appearance on stage in a decade. The first song out of the gate was "Last Chance Lost" from her new album Turbulent Indigo. I know I have this performance in a box somewhere on cassette, but did we also have that on video? Is it on the website somewhere? Being lazy, thanks, Sue _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter . We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.

Dissing Woodstock Nation Patti, some people are like male dogs who feel they must piss on everything. My sense is this guy has kind of a chip on his shoulder, or a kind of blindness. This isn't the first article I've read this summer which wanted to somehow ruin people's fun in celebrating the Woodstock 40th anniversary. There was a column a couple weeks back in our local paper by some syndicated writer, who also wanted to "bah humbug" the whole thing, too. I can understand somebody not "getting it", or somebody even feeling scorn for a generation who (they feel) got credit for things that the scorner doesn't care about or agree with. But what I totally DON'T get, is some people's need to try and ruin it or diminish it for others, by writing these articles. Why don't they just STFU? Of course its their RIGHT to say what they want, but it seems really unnecessary and distasteful. Who do they feel will benefit? I really do feel a certain violence of the spirit surrounding it. Sort of a virtual *kicking* of the hippies. There's a sort of resentful meanness to it. I was tempted to send that article on to the Joan Baez list, but you know, I think maybe I won't, because I don't want to throw the contents of that man's spiritual slop bucket at the folks over there. what an azzzzzzz....I swear. If he met Joan I bet he'd come away with a different feeling about her, if not about the things she represents. I think I'll wear my Arlo Guthrie "Back to 69" tie-die today.

Dissing Woodstock Nation To: joni@smoe.org, treegreen1@hotmail.com Date: Friday, September 4, 2009, 10:50 PM Bon soir, Joniamigos! I read this the other day (with no time on my hands to share it) and it really got my anima rising. It may get some anima uprising, uprising in some of you tonight, too, so "don't say I didn't warn ya!" It's probably better to ignore such a person (who must be one of those people passing on the right), but I just had to share, looking for comfort and consultation here on the JMDL.

Dissing Woodstock Nation Thanks so much, Em, for the comfort and consultation, and the gift of your extra time. You washed and balanced me! I don't know why Huffington Post even published that crock of merde. I've just never heard anyone "talk" like that before and it kind of freaked me out a bit, so...out of the fire like Catholic saints came Parlette and her deep complaint. "Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me"....so I went "Homeward bound" to the Joni List! I guess I am really blessed to be surrounded by wonderful people in my workplace and life in general. "I travel in a bubble and I can't relate" to mean people, who suck! ; ) This guy would probably pave paradise and put up a parking lot. So, I'm pissing a virtual tequila anaconda the full length of his parking lot right now. So *there*, you passer on the right! Beep beep 'em, beep beep, yeah! Anima rising! Sorry about throwing "the contents of that man's spiritual slop bucket" (well said, Em! LOL!) around the room. Regrets, dear coyotes! I will be a Pirate for Penace w/ some Joni "love is a story told"s soon. (When I took my baggage off the carousel in Chicago two weeks ago, I met the guy at the gas pumps! I just need more time on my hands to turn it into a proper story.) Love & Peace, Patti P. Proud Citizen of Woodstock Nation P.S. The night is a starry dome tonight here in New England, with the Matala moon on my windowsill, and crickets (or cicadas or katydids?) clicking in the ferns.
