Although these would have been new songs (to you) when you heard them in concert, Joni had been performing them throughout 1969. As far as I know, "Blue Boy" was first performed at Carnegie Hall on Feb. 1, 1969, and "Rainy Night House" at The Troubadour on May 22, 1969, a song 'not yet' titled. The Troubadour performance is particularly interesting. Not only do we hear "Rainy Night House" as "a song that doesn't yet have a title", BUT ... There's a 4-Song seque, "Rainy Night House" into "Blue Boy" into "Willie" into "Looking Out For Love". It's not clear if "Looking Out For Love" is an addendum to "Willie", or a seperate (incomplete) song. This is the only known recording. Check it out. I've UpLoaded some music via YouSendIt.
