Many of us have the Asian version from ebay, this one features widescreen instead of the formatted view of the previous release, and also acoording to news sources has the bonus of a Joel Bernstein photo gallery! From the Philadelphia Daily News: "Joni Mitchell's great 1980 concert video "Shadows and Light" (Shout! Factory) captured her jazz coming-out party supported by Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays and Michael Brecker. The new DVD version is dressed up with a photo gallery of shots by Joel Bernstein." Wouldn't it be great if there was a website devoted to Joni that made these sort of announcements?

She somehow managed to put it all together. When David Crosby took me to the studio where she was recording, Joni was sitting quietly in a chair between takes, singing a soft song for anybody who wanted to listen. When she was finished and David introduced us, she seemed so fragile, I thought she'd break into bunches of rose petals on the floor. That first impression was ultimately wrong - she is a strong woman. But that first time we met, she seemed like the most sensitive person on the planet, and I couldn't bring myself to fuck up her serenity by being my usual sarcastic "truck driver" self. I saw her recently at a restaurant in L.A. and I was still to chickenshit to deal with someone who was musician enough to record with Charles Mingus. - -Grace Slick 1998 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 19:59:21 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: 600,000 doctors, or how there is occasionally a Joni-moment at work I got this news release at work today, and the first thing that came to mind was Joni and the line about how 600,000 doctors are putting on rubber gloves, and poking at the miseries made of love. Sometimes I'm amazed at how what should seem obvious, sometimes isn't. Anyway I've been having a miserable time at work lately - everyone seems either stupid or nasty, and if everyone seems stupid or nasty, maybe it's me that's stupid or nasty - in either case, getting a joni-moment out of it improved things somwhat. Not to belabour a point, but here's the first bit, which made me think of a certain Joni song... although the headline made me laugh a bit - do they mean these women are being abused in health care settings? I think not, but that's how it sounds to this twisted mind. > McMaster University wins research grant to study > how best to identify woman abuse in healthcare settings > HAMILTON, ON, June 23 /CNW/ - Early > identification of woman abuse will > be improved, and abused women and their children will > get the support and help > they need earlier, as a result of a $3 million > research grant awarded to > McMaster University today by the Ontario Women's > Health Council (OWHC). > "Woman abuse is a serious healthcare issue > which can result in severe > physical and psychological harm to women and > children," said Jane Pepino, > Chair of the OWHC.

The review reads: "Under Mitchell's direction, Shadows & Light documents the great singer-songwriter's 1979 tour and finds her playing some of her especially adventurous material, supported by one of the most accomplished bands ever to back an icon - Pat Metheny on guitar, Michael Brecker on sax, Jaco Pastorius on bass. Throughout, Mitchell mixes in outside footage: During "Amelia" you see Amelia Earhart; during "Coyote" an actual coyote.

FTR: there are actually -3- diferent DVD releases of SHADOWS And LIGHT" from Singapore and Hong Kong. 1. DVD - Region 2, Japan, Europe, the Middle East & So. Africa 2. VCD - Region 0, Any player/any country compatible, 2 Disc set 3. DVD - Region 0, Any player/any country compatible. as Jim points out, the original 1980 SHOWTIME Television Special as well as the initial VideoTape and LaserDisc releases were 60 minutes in length with the following TrackList: 1. Shadow And Light 2. (I'm Not A) Juvenille Delinquent 3. In France They Kiss On Main Street 4. Coyote 5. Free Man In Paris 6. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 7. Jaco's Solo The High And The Mighty Third Stone From The Stone 8. Dry Cleaner From des Moines 9. Amelia 10. Pat's Solo 11. Black Crow 12. Furry Sings The Blues 13. Raised On Robbery 14. Shadow And Light it's interesting to note that the Japanese LaserDisc version, released in 1982, included the song "WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE". this song was performed by Joni and the Persuasions after "RAISED ON ROBBERY" and segued directly into SHADOWS And Light. in 1999, after being out of print for a number of years, SHADOWS And LIGHT was ReIssued 'In Japan' on both VideoTape and LaserDisc. TWO? additional songs were included as well as "WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE". here's the TrackList: 1. Shadow And Light 2. (I'm Not A) Juvenille Delinquent 3. In France They Kiss On Main Street 4. EDITH AND THE KINGPIN 5. Coyote 6. Free Man In Paris 7. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 8. Jaco's Solo The High And The Mighty Third Stone From The Stone 9. Dry Cleaner From des Moines 10. Amelia 11. Pat's Solo 12. HEJIRA 13. Black Crow 14. Furry Sings The Blues 15. Raised On Robbery 16. WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE? 17.

FACTORY set to release historic Joni Mitchell concert on DVD Bob Merlis/M.f.h. 323.962.6887 bobmerlis@bobmerlis.com Joni Mitchell is widely regarded as the most important female recording artist of the late 20th century. Her influence has spanned pop, rock, jazz and blues and has earned her 5 Grammy Awards over the course of her career. Her own live performances are the stuff of legend and one of the most groundbreaking of those, Shadows and Light, is being released on DVD by Shout! Factory on June 24th. Shadows and Light now includes an extra 15 minutes of footage never before seen in the US as well as other special features. The verve and intensity of one of Mitchell's most acclaimed live shows has been captured in crisp PCM Stereo with a 5.1 Dolby . Digital surround sound option. The result is an experience second only to being a part of the rapt audience that witnessed the original concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 1979. The eclectic and career-spanning repertoire featured on Shadows and Light includes classic material ranging from "Free Man In Paris" to "Raised On Robbery" to "Coyote." Directed by Mitchell herself, Shadows and Light, features the legendary musician performing 13 songs backed by one the finest groups of musicians with whom she had ever played. With more than four decades of recording and performing behind her, Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light is still considered to be one of her finest live performances. First released on videotape in the late 1980's, the concert was acclaimed by critics and fans. Rolling Stone called the original album a "translucent masterpiece." Now on DVD, this classic concert recording features never before seen behind the scenes photos of Joni Mitchell and her musicians on tour. A Tour Photo Diary comprised of 48 images, shot by original tour photographer Joel Bernstein, were hand selected by Mitchell who served as art director for the packaging which includes Bernstein's striking time-lapse concert photo cover shot. Running over 75 minutes, Shadows and Light also includes two epochal solo tracks, one from guitar great Pat Metheny; the other is a jaw-dropping tour de force by the late bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius. The backing band seen and heard on the package also includes Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, Don Alias and a capella stalwarts The Persuasions who join Mitchell on the doo wop classic "Why Do Fools Fall In Love."
