PaulC ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 04:10:18 EDT From: CarltonCT@aol.com Subject: Joni jam at Kakki's Scott Price echoes for me just how great it is to be with a group of people who not only can sing, but can sing nearly every lyric of every Joni song which is what happened at Kakki's the night after the concert. I have decided that when I grow up, I want to be just like Michael Paz, the perpetual big kid who has mastered the VG-8 and plays not only Joni songs from her well known past, but from her lesser known albums and even TTT. Michael also plays Yes and the Beatles with the same proficiency. True adults would have abandoned the pleasures of guitar playing long ago so that they could watch their stocks and bonds or worry about their mortgage and their lawn to now. I think I'll chew a piece of that bubble gum cigarette I got from Kakki at Coyote Rick's while I play my guitar before bedtime. - - Clark ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 09:26:43 -0400 From: "Paul Castle" Subject: Permissions Does anyone mind if we copy and paste these great concert reviews to off-list friends?

Reply > to me offline please. TIA. Hi Patrick, Don't know about August 8, but exactly 1 week later, on August 15, Joni performed a wonderful set for us at Yasgur's Farm in Bethel NY. A Day In The Garden has been immotalized on the tape trees and also in an Infoseek video. It was wonderful.

I know I'm a little tardy here, but I've been busy trying to readjust to life as mild mannered housewife after my weekend stint as Hollywood Party Girl. Unfortunately, I had to forego Coyote Rick's faboolus pre-concert party on Friday for a painfully slow tour of the sights, sounds and smells of the Hollywood Freeway. :- ( Fortunately, Rick was kind enough to grant me and my SoCal pal Carrie a private audience on Saturday at Les Deux Cafes, so that made up somewhat for missing his party. :-) Carrie and I did arrive at the Greek in time to make the long trek up the stairs to our not so fabulous seats (but I'm not complaining too loudly--I felt lucky to be there, and as Paz mentioned, the sound at the Greek was perfect). We were there in plenty of time and struck up some conversations with our fellow bench sitters. Several JMDLers commented afterwards on what they perceived to be less than polite behavior from many in the audience, and I certainly felt that too, but in hindsight it occurs to me that many folks in the audience were series subscribers, who may just have picked Joni's concert as one of several because they were familiar with her radio hits, and consequently weren't expecting the orchestra and standards. I heard a few grumblings like "play something we know," (which is funny in light of the story Joni later told before Judgment of the Moon and Stars--about a friend of Beethoven's who urged him to write music which included well known themes, because "people they like to hear something familiar, and all your stuff is just too personal . .. if you really want to be internationally famous, what you need to do is give them something that they want . . .") Guess my point is that many in the audience were not cultists like we (thank you Kakki--an excellent term). As a matter of fact, our conversation with our neighbors included some comments that I felt were ignorant and unduly harsh, and since they didn't seem like ignorant and harsh people, I felt duty bound to set them straight, as politely as I could. The sort of embarrassing result was that I instantly became resident Joni geek, and had to field a barrage of questions from several women sitting nearby. Makes me laugh because they seemed to just accept my Solomonic pronouncements on all things Joan. Among the mysteries I illuminated: "What's with the cigarettes?" My answer: "Chain smoker." Their reply "Ohhhhhhhh . . . ." (heads nodding in unison). Also, "What's that Paved Paradise song about?" My answer: "Hawaii." Their reply: "Ohhhhhhhhh . . .. ." (heads still nodding). Very high octane exchanges. There was a certain amount of restlessness in the audience in the first half of the concert (me included), but after intermission, once Joni got into her own compositions, she really had the audience. Sometime during Hejira I had one of those weird detached, self-conscious moments in which I realized that I was over my own nerves and restlessness and was a little overwhelmed by how intensely I was feeling those songs. I finally took my eyes off the stage and scanned the audience from my bird's eye view--no wandering people, no talkers--everyone focused and attentive. The Power of Joan. I'm reaching my word limit here, but I can't close without seconding everyone's comments about what an amazing thing the JMDL community is. On the drive to the concert, my friend Carrie, whom I've known forever, asked me if I didn't think it was weird that I'd left my husband and child in another state and was going off to hang out with people I only knew through the computer. That can be a daunting idea, but it is offset by the fact that every in-person JMDL gathering I've been to has been full of talented, witty, generous, smart, kind and accepting people. (And they even let me come along for the ride!) I really felt how unique and precious it was to reconnect with old friends and to meet new people who were only email addresses to me before. There were so many people who made the events memorable, and I'll probably leave someone out if I make a list, but of course special thanks are due to the Hollywood hosts, Coyote Rick, and of course, Uber JMDLer and hostess extrordinaire, Kakki.

Send me yours off-list and I'll call you after 6pm (here) when calls are a little cheaper) Vince Mendoza says, "All those songs were arranged with Joni's voice in mind", says Mendoza, whose own recent orchestral album, 'Epiphany' (Zebra), was nominated for a Grammy. "Her voice has changed a lot over the years ever since the first recording; it has gotten so much more interesting and colorful. Her delivery is so much more interesting. We see breadth of experience now and the words mean more now than they ever did. I had her contemporary sound in my head. 'Turbulent Indigo' is probably one of my most-valued albums - I know it backwards and forwards. I approached arranging every piece like a tone poem, like Strauss would write around a vocalist. Understanding the words and knowing when to move and when not to move, when to accentuate the lyrics and when not to. I learned a lot of that from Joni, how she writes and how she delivers the lyrics." There is more, but I want to get back to reading now. Buzzy here today, isn't it?

Well this was one time when I made a copy and it is still intact. I made a copy because I wanted to write a review of it for Themestream on the Internet. If you want to read what I have said, just visit themestream. For the moment I can't recall the url, but if you look up www.oscartech.com you should find the place on the web. If anyone here is an aspiring writer and wants to place their opinions about such things as say Joni Mitchell, please visit Themestream. I have also noted that VH1 is doing a whole 60' and 70's thing Monday and following up on Tuesday. While I was watching the 60's installment, the sound bite for the next episode mentioned Joni Mitchell by name along with other artists famous in the 70's. It maybe worth watching. The 1960's segment was pretty good. For cradle babbies, which is what Joan Beaz calls people from my generation, it was like a walk back to childhood. I can't believe the 60's are so long ago. At any rate, thanks. Kurt ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 10:53:33 EST From: "E Zattly" Subject: Monday 5/22 tickets I have a pair for 5/22, Theater at Madison Square Garden.

From: "robbert" Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 22:30:07 +0200 Greetings from overseas ! Just a quick note to say that the people who have written about the shows so far are now responsible for my not being able to concentrate at work AT ALL, but for some reason I don't really care.. :-) Can't wait to meet all you Boston and Chicago JMDL'ers; I look forward very much to seeing my 6th and 7th Joni concert with all of you. BTW, are there any Joni fans who will also be attending Steely Dan in Portland, June 1st, and at the Gorge, June 3rd? I will be seeing these shows during this trip a.o. as well. Are there any pre-concert plans made by the Chicago gang yet, BTW? Ashara, Laura, and all others: see you in two weeks !! :-) Very best, - - Robbert, The Netherlands PS: Chili, Natalie Merchant is out there this summer, too! Will see her twice in Jacksonville, Oregon, next month. She's doing a few NJ shows, and you should definitely try and see her this time 'round as well - she'll be doing a set of old folksongs... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 23:10:37 +0100 From: philipf@tinet.ie Subject: Tribute tape can travel if required I'm finishing off tapes of Simon's audio recording for those who requested it. I have the video too, not the best copy ever but good enough to watch untill the real thing comes along courtesy of our good friends Ashara and Jim. If there's any interest I can circulate the video tape around the uk list in the meantime. That's how they did it before broadcasting was invented, you know. Passing tv shows around via the postman. PaulC remembers it well :) Philip NP John Peel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 23:15:13 +0100 From: philipf@tinet.ie Subject: Re: Beach Boys My favourite Beach Boys tune is When I Grow Up To Be A Man. It's on The Beach Boys Today sandwiched between Don't Hurt My Little Sister and Help Me Rhonda. I once heard Bruce Springsteen do a lovely version of it. Brian sets out a fairly interesting questionnaire in that song. "Will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid ? Will I look back and say that I wish that I hadn't done what I did ? Will I joke around ? Will I still dig those sounds ? When I grow up to be a man. Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl ? Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world ? Will my kids be proud or think their old man's really a square ? Will I love my wife for the rest of my life ? When I grow up to be a man." Friends is probably my favourite LP of theirs.

I have Section 203 Row A Seat 1; Section 203 Row D Seat 1; and Section 202 Row C Seat 2. I bought these singles (although the ones in Section 203 are three rows apart on the aisle) because I couldn't get two together. I finally got two together, so I'm selling these.

Had I known about this a long time ago, I would have joined up with your list then. I am amazed that there is a wonderful community like this out there in cyberspace. I have also been enjoying the past couple of days postings (now that I am getting them) and beginning to feel like I have already attended the concert. Your enthusiasm is rubbing off on me and I am anxious to get to the Boston event now. I first want to thank Ashara for all her wonderful and prompt correspondence with me, walking me through to this point. Didn't know how to post and wanted to jump in a couple of times. The first posts I began receiving were of reviews of opening show in LA. I felt like I was there! I could understand exactly how you all must have felt when JONI appeared and how you felt with a couple of "her songs". I am only hoping that the Boston Show is just as wonderful. The anticipation is growing here and I am looking forward to reading more reviews and hearing more about this tour. Before I leave , my history with this love affair with JONI has been going on for almost 30 years. I fell in love with her music while in high school and have kept up with every album/CD since. I enjoy a variety of music , but none has ever had an impact on me like hers. She cuts right to the truth in her lyrics and speaks to only me at times ( OK, she speaks to you folks too). I just have always felt that way about her music. In song, JONI has given me a deeper perspective to so much, it is hard for me to explain, but somehow I get the feeling that you all already know this about her gift. I can tell by the way you all like her and her music so much. Again, I am looking forward to reading more from this Discussion List. I am so excited about finding all of you. Finally, people that like JONI MITCHELL's music, that would never ask me to turn it off or down because it is depressing or not what they like. Finally, people that appreciate what a real ARTIST that she trully is. Thanks all ! JOE (from Southern Rhode Island) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 22:21:07 EDT From: Seulbzzaj@aol.com Subject: Re: New Lister Here I've also just joined the list - Joe's post was the first I received. I've been listening to Joni for 30 years, I bought Ladies Of The Canyon when it was first released, and listened to everything she's done since. I listen to all types of music - predominately jazz - Charie Parker, Lester Young...a lot of singers - Billie Holiday, Ella, Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter, Teri Thornton, Carmen McRae, Sinatra. I'm also a big opera fan, and love Janis Joplin, so my tastes are kind of extreme. Back to Joni, considering the amount of time I've been listening to her, I haven't seen her in live performance as often as I'd have liked. I heard her in '74 with Tom Scott, (she also sat in with CSN&Y), at Dylan's Hurricane Carter MSG benefit in Dec. '75, and not again until Dec.1998. I have tickets for both of Joni's NYC concerts, May 22nd + 23rd. I really can't wait to hear her. Her performances of the standards that she's doing now are just "beyond category", as Duke Ellington would say. Listening to the new album is like having open heart surgery. Her singing is aong the most emotional thing I've ever heard. I never compare anyone to Billie Holiday, but Joni's depth of emotion comes close. The few tv performances I've heard with strings - At Last from Letterman, and Both Sides Now from the tribute (I missed the Rosie + Leno shows) have such a different feel from the album, and yet equal the studio versions. The last few notes she hums on Both Sides Now from the tribute just kill me. I have many rare concert tapes of Joni to trade - if anyone has tapes from the current tour, I'd love to arrange a trade. I look forward to reading the reactions of those that hear her on this current tour.

Hey Sue, They are free and were being handed out freely at the Greek. Several of our group got stacks of them. (Not me - I was too keyed up to think of it!). They are really special.

Friar Bob...so much to answer for. One day I'll sit down and write out my top fifty versions of Circle Game for you...thanks to you I can see that one is not a recording artist of any real note untill you've done a Joni cover. (BTW have you burned a copy of the Joni cover on the classic album "The Circle Remains Unbroken" - the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and all of their kith and kin?) I have been playing the TNT show (both the audience and the televised versions) constantly...for those of you who were there: It must have been very surreal to have all this packed up excitement and enthusiasm for the performances and then somehow put it all on hold durring the commercial breaks...? For those folks who are watching the video tape: I can't wait to see it! What a line-up of great and diverse performers (and it's great that Wynona is still performing and buzzing from the experience as I read in a great post [I always think its funny when people get bent out of shape when a performer decides to be flexible and change...i.e. country music lovers who can't love this country's music])....I just want to publicly thank Jim and Steve for sending such great recordings.... And AZEEM !!! Buddy! Thanks sooo much for the killer Pooka! It was a total surprise and not to mention that it was a day after my birthday (the 14th) that it arrived! Please e-mail me (I've lost your address) so I can rave about this non Joni item (although these young women are as heartwrenching, beautiful and angry as any Joni I know of...let's see what the future hold for these folk/rock goddesses). Thank you all from the deepest part of my heart. How could I ever be so consumed and fanatical without you all?

We should have tickets before, I think. I'll be stag. (Kakki, you have GOT to go north). Last night I had a dream that the whole art exhibit in Saskatoon was a ruse. We all got there and JM was in the gallery laughing her crinkled dress off. She told us the whole reason she and the Mendall cooked up the scheme was because she wants us to be there to hear her perform seven hours of music from her entire catalogue at the alleged jazz fest. She said she was doing this for those brave souls venturing north to her homeland. She then said it's also a gift to her Mom and Pop and then looked at me and said, you too, Coyote. I fainted and Catherine from PHX was there to pick me up. Then, she gave each of us a piece of her original artwork she selected for each of us individually. Mine was the Dog Eat Dog cover. She said thank you all for your support on the Internet. She then said, as we were leaving the gallery for her parent's house for a welcoming party, "By the way, I was at Woodstock a few days before, and I did write every note of UFG! Like I don't have a computer. You guys? Get real." It was a wonderful dream. Can you imagine? I woke up beside myself and still am.

Debby, I think Randy might have posted a description the other day but here's what they had in L.A. - a Turbulent Indigo cover T-shirt with (I think) a blue background, a Taming the Tiger Cover T-shirt with a teal green background, and a Joni and Donald french kissing painting one with a brown background. They also had a rather plain black T-shirt with the words "Happiness is the best facelift" in white lettering. They also had a sleeveless, black, fleece-like vest that said "Joni loves JMDL" (no just kidding, but they did have the vest ;-) Hope all the West Palm "goers" have an incredible time!
