But I think that it's also very difficult to get decent sound when you're using a camera to record it. I'm pretty sure that the person who uploaded this one probably used either a cellphone or a camera like mine, which is more suited to taking pictures than to capturing sound. Of course, if you didn't like the Travelogue/BSN/Shine voice, then you probably won't like her current voice. She did say she didn't even know if she could sing. She blames it on her illnesses, but never mentions the obvious: smoking. Being there in person was a whole different situation. Even the band doesn't sound all that good on these videos and you can't hear the backup singers (who weren't singing very loudly in any case.) Even hearing her speaking voice, particularly at the TimesTalks event some of us attended, was better than hearing it on radio. Maybe it was just the fact that she was there in person and we could see her, but I found her speaking voice sounded much richer live than it does on recorded events. Let's see what happens once CBC gets the event up on their site and what people think then. I'm sure opinions will vary. >________________________________ > From: Paul Ivice >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 4:55:26 PM >Subject: Joni at Luminato > > >Here's Joni (and group) singing Woodstock along with Kilauren @ Massey >Hall Wednesday night (6/19) >http://jonimitchell.com/library/video.cfm?id=344 > >Laura > > >Those of you who don't hate me already probably will after reading this, but I >tell it the way I see it. >I found this video to be unwatchable. >I couldn't get past the first verse. >The pace is so damn slow that it drags and, I am sorry to say, her voice is so >far gone that she now cannot carry a melody. >It hurts me to say it because I've loved Joni's voice, music and songwriting >for decades (1971), but perhaps because of that I could not bear to watch this >video of a sad, sad performance. > > >Paul Ivice ;>) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 23:37:20 +0100 From: "John McGloin" Subject: RE: Joni at Luminato This is the first video I've watched, having soaked in the whole vibe of the event via some wonderfully atmospheric postings. I rather like this version. I was afraid that Joni's voice was gone but not on this evidence. It's certainly more limited in range and tone than a decade or two ago but I could happily listen to this. Compared to some singers whose voices have gone - Paul McCartney, Elton John, Rod Stewart and to my own personal shock Flora Purim, this works.

I found this video to be unwatchable. I couldn't get past the first verse. The pace is so damn slow that it drags and, I am sorry to say, her voice is so far gone that she now cannot carry a melody. It hurts me to say it because I've loved Joni's voice, music and songwriting for decades (1971), but perhaps because of that I could not bear to watch this video of a sad, sad performance.

I have been enjoying all the reports fotos etc. Can't wait to hear your report.

I'm so physically and emotionally wiped right now that I can't even type. Bill and I got in last night at 12:30AM from our drive straight from Toronto (well, with a side trip to a fabulous local winery and Niagra Falls) to home in Indianapolis. We hit the rental car drop-off at 8:30am today, then I was off to work at The Jazz Kitchen from there. I promise to post what happened after I get home from the club tomorrow night, as I can barely type right now. What an incredible night, as well as a fabulous dinner beforehand meeting the fellow jmdl folks. Although I'm the / was (hee, hee) The Ultimate Lurker, everyone at dinner welcomed the two of us with open arms. Les, please send me your mailing address to send you a jmdl donation. Not only did I find out that you live in the same town in Colorado as BIll's sister and her family, we seemed to have sat in your ridiculously FABULOUS seats for Tuesday's concert. OXOXOXOXOXOXO. I think the last time we emailed back and forth was when I had the mystery date of a Joni article from the 80's. :) And I think I may owe Paz my first born as well. Not that at almost 52 yrs. old that's gonna happen... Geez, I gotta hit the hay. I'm delirious. More tomorrow!
