I know that they did the Sacramento benefit in Nov 1976 together, and that Joni backed Fred on the Dolphins. I beleive there is a tape of the joni set.

Fred used to play there a lot and that is where Joni was "discovered" by Crosby. My husband used to go there a lot before we met (and when I was too young) He says he might have even seen Joni there but doesn't remember...so who could not remember Joni???

Good one Rev! Although for Joni it would be fitting (and for me as well.)

(I'm obviously way behind in reading messages.) So Joni herself connected the images on the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo's clouds, as always with her own personal twist to the connection. Great story, and I'm glad to know I wasn't completely off the mark all these years in connecting those paintings to Joni's lyrics, although even if I had been, well, it wouldn't matter. I would have continued to see those paintings in the lyrics along with hearing Joni's appreciation of the healing and spiritual possibilities of art... where's her outright story about that I wonder. Joni also told a story at the BSN concert in New York City last May about seeing Mr. Magoo in the clouds, uh, pleasing himself. She apparently loves clouds and the pictures she sees in them. Her description of Mr. Magoo's activity was completely crude, which was a very funny surprise from public Joni. I've always been curious... did Joni tell that story at any of her other concerts, or only here in big bad NYC?

I was AT the Atlanta show and she didn't tell the Magoo version there. It is also not on the other shows that I have, so it must have been something in the air that night!

So the only time she told that sexy story was on the 23rd in New York? Must have been the hot, steamy crowd that rainy night. And since it was a second show in the same place, maybe she felt comfortably at home. It was a good story. Until then I had no idea how much she enjoyed, hmmm, clouds. Debra Shea P.S.: Is there a recording available of the May 23rd concert? Anybody know?
