Henry" Subject: Re: SV: CSNY&J - Wolfgang's Vault this week... No doubt about it, Michael. You nailed it and they totally missed it. It's perfectly obvious. Good call my friend. It was a pretty nice concert overall. BTW, the liner notes have a few points of interest regarding that particular moment in history: "Concert Summary David Crosby - vocals, guitars Graham Nash - vocals, guitars, keyboards Stephen Stills - vocals, guitars, keyboards Neil Young - vocals, guitars, keyboards Tim Drummond - vocals, bass Russ Kunkel - drums Joe Lala - percussion, congas Joni Mitchell - backing vocals on "Another Sleep Song" and "Our House" When Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young abruptly split apart at the end of 1970, it seemed as though the worlds first supergroup would become yet another casualty of drugs, alcohol, egotism, greed, and political infighting that had become so familiar in the world of rock stars. By the end of their initial run (1968 through 1970), CSNY was known as much for their backstage fistfights and legendary episodes of drug abuse, as they were for two brilliant studio albums (Crosby, Stills & Nash and Dij` Vu), and the multi-platinum double live LP, 4 Way Street. The group, which often sang about love and peace, had gotten to the point where they couldnt even travel together on tour. Thats why, when the much ballyhooed 1974 Reunion Tour was announced, music industry insiders doubted the group could stay together long enough to even finish it. But David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young proved everyone wrong. Not only did they complete the tour, they did it without a single major fight or argument. And though it would be 14 more years before all four members toured together again, they managed to play 36 stadium-sized shows to over one and a half million enthusiastic fans. There had been a slew of solo albums in the period between 4 Way Street and this tour, and the group used their individual solo hits to supplement the already large CSNY repertoire. Opening with a lively version of "Love The One You're With," (a 1970 solo hit for Stills), and offering up group arrangements of "Immigration Man" (a hit from the first Crosby/Nash duo LP); "Military Madness" (from Nashs first solo album); "Johnny's Garden" (from Stills II); "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" (from the classic Young LP, After The Gold Rush), and "Lee Shore" (from David Crosbys If I Could Only Remember My Name LP). Although more than half of the show was not included in this recording, and there are certainly a great number of mistakes heard here (despite a solid month of rehearsals prior to the tour, the groups vocals are often flat, due probably to problems with the monitor system used for stadium sound systems), this recording is historic nonetheless. Since no official group live album was ever released from this tour, this remains one of the few professional recordings of the bands 74 trek. Although show stoppers like "Pre Road Downs," "Dij` Vu," and "Long Time Gone," were left off the Biscuit show there is still plenty of CSNY classics included, among them "Wooden Ships," "Helpless," "Almost Cut My Hair," "Teach Your Children" and "Our House" (with backup vocals from Joni Mitchell, who shared this bill with CSN&Y and others). This recording ends with Neil Youngs "Hawaiian Sunrise," which is anti-climatic after the aforementioned hits had been played. But all in all, it is a testament of how four incredibly talented solo artists could figure out how to make it all work as a band."

I was watching a very early performance of a song called "Blue On Blue" or she also said she called it, "Song to a Daydreamer." My question is, has Joni ever said anything about these early songs of hers? Did she ever perform this song (or other early ones you may find) anytime again a few years later or did she just drop them when she got new songs she obviously must have liked more? The song, "Blue On Blue" is beautiful although I will say it does sound very much of its time. Blue on blue Sky's in your eyes Steer you away like I wasn't here Where do you go when you fantasize That you wish I'd disappear Leave you to dreaming and leave you alone Lost in a world that's all your own Can I come, too Blue on blue Dreams like you are making now Are very hard to share All I ask is one small favor Dream a dream and wish me there Gold on gold, sun in your hair Spinning the rainbow, weaving the wind Bluing the dye for the midnight air Counting the gold at the rainbows end Rapier princess whispers your name Out of the time before I came I'll never know Gold on gold Dreams like you are making now Are very hard to share All I ask is one small favor Dream a dream and wish me there - - -Monika ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 15:48:37 -0700 From: "Lindsay Moon" Subject: This Flight cover Secondly, check out this Delta Blues-ish take on This Flight Tonight...it > ain't Joni, and it ain't Nazareth.

And what's amazing is that very few of these songs are throwaways; several of them like "Blue On Blue", "Just Like Me" were popular in her live shows and could have been hits. Lyrically they were a bit wispy at times but still very nice to listen to and certainly on par with what was on the radio in its day. For better or for worse, Joni wrote a LOT in those early years and she seemed to always gravitate to her newest material and in so doing left a lot of these songs behind. Fortunately, thanks to archivists and collectors we do have live and in some cases studio recordings of some of them. These are the recordings I cherish the most out of all the unreleased stuff that I have. It's also a big thrill to hear a cover of one of these; back in the 60's The Foggy Dew-O recorded "Born To Take The Highway", Fairport Convention recorded "Eastern Rain", The Ian Campbell Group recorded "Dr. Junk" and recently Henning Olsen/Big Yellow Taxi have been resurrecting some of these as well. You can check out the CD here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/bigyellowtaxi4 (The unreleased songs are the 1st three). This CD is well worth owning.

Welcome, Jonathan, and any other newbies. I haven't been reading posts thoroughly for a while because of being on vacation and other things, so sorry if I've missed anyone. I think, once a Joni fan, always a Joni fan, but I could be mistaken. Some people dropped out after she stopped using the dulcimer. I await with excitement, and just a little trepidation, the release of "Shine" - can anything live up to the anticipation, I wonder? We shall find out soon enough!
