How lucky you were. This is one of my prized recorded concerts. It was Joni in her finest form.

I guess that kind of anticipation doesn't exist anymore. I remember waiting anxiously in line at my college record co-op for a preordered copy of The White Album and rushing to a friend's dorm room stereo to play it on his "high-end stereo." Even now I remember the thrill of hearing each song for the first time.

I wonder what would have happened if something besides "You Turn Me On" was released as the single. While it's a great song and a radio-ready (in more ways than one) single, it was sort of atypical of the record, don't you think? That is so cool that you were there in '72, what a memory. I didn't really get Joni until '76 or so.

In the UK the lower tax band (after the basic which is around UKP #4550 - about US10k) is #45,000 when it jumps from 22percent to 40percent. Now the JC... What was the big tax debacle that Joni was involved in in the 1980's. To my understanding was she taxed in the State of California for earnings at 90percent RETROSPECTIVELY? it being the 1980s I can understand why they did it retrospectively - I mean how do you take 90 percent of no earnings? ;o) I understand Neil Young was one of the handful that were being given this penalty.

It was the first time I had ever seen her in concert and I was blown away with the not-yet-released songs that showed up several months later on "For the roses". I'm also perplexed as to why FTR isn't as recognized as "Blue" and "Court and Spark." It's a solid album full of fine material and has always been a favourite of mine. Joni's piano playing was mighty fine. Play those warm chords! Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I thought it was fingernails too but they seem to be either contrapuntal to the piano or not even in time to the playing at all... usually when I play keys I can hear my own fingernails *with* the striking of the keys... this seems to be the jangling of wooden bangles... or too much spittle and she's clearing her mouth just before she starts singing... I know I'm going into this a whole much more than I should be but it's just one of those things that I hear. I do like the subsequent discussion re JotM&S and I do think it's her take on Ludwig Van. Now excue my aural memory but is that the one which she redid in full orchestra after Asylum only gave her enough money for 6 violins for the FtR version? I wish I'd heard the Tlog version live....

I like the sound of Jotmas (or JotM&S). It sounds a bit like the name of a holiday. First there's Christmas, then there's Jotmas. Never mind. Carry on.
