This is a great question, but we need to use this analogy across the board to make the point. So if we say the MOA version is the original, then would we say that the 2nd fret version of Urge for Going is the original and the recorded version on Hits is not? Maybe this doesn't work since 2nd fret is not an officially released recording. As far as I'm concerned, the MOA is the original, as in "the first time anyone heard it." If you are asking me which is the better version, that's harder for me to answer, but I would lean toward the DJRD version.

Just wondering what everyone considers the "original" version of this song? Normally, a studio version will come out, possibly followed by a live version. In that case the original version is pretty obvious. In this case, the live MOA version came out and later was followed up by the studio version on DJRD. So is the MOA or the DJRD version the "original". IMO, the MOA version would be the original. Jack In a message dated 4/19/2011 5:12:18 P.M.

And chances are the short list would have one name at the top: Joni Mitchell. In other words, Songs of a Prairie Girl couldn't be more perfect for Prairie Scene, the National Arts Centre's spotlight on Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, that runs April 26 to May 8. But the show pre-dated Prairie Scene by a long shot. It started as a University of Saskatchewan Greystone Theatre mainstage production created by drama professor Jim Guedo which premiered in 2005. He'd noticed a plethora of women in the drama department with musical ability. And Mitchell just happened to be releasing her retrospective album Songs of a Prairie Girl in 2005, in time for Saskatchewan's centennial. Guedo contacted Mitchell's people and not only got approval to do the show but was able to accommodate Mitchell's request to add a few songs that had Saskatoon and Saskatchewan resonance for her. He went on to do six to eight months of research, reading everything in print and online that he could find in which Mitchell speaks about how the Prairies affected her artistry. From the start, the show was to be something other than a musical revue. "My job is to find bridges that sort of weaved a path through it that gave some insight into her art, the province, how the Prairies shaped her. "The music always gave it the structure and then it was how to weave it all into a theatrical tapestry." The original production featured Vesti Hanson and a large cast of students, some 10 in all. The late Angie Tysseland led the band. Returning for the re-mount are Hanson and Jacklyn Green. They're joined by Alyssa Billingsly, Leora Joy Godden, Christine MacInnis and Amy Matysio. It's a professional production this time, but with the same vision. "It's not a campfire singalong. It has to still be theatrical. That's why we have six actors playing a different aspect of her character. There's no one flat-out trying to impersonate her because it's impossible," says Guedo. There was some talk about Mitchell coming to see the first production, but she couldn't make it. She's still welcome, of course. "We'd let her smoke in the theatre if she did." After a short tune-up run in Saskatoon, the show heads for Ottawa for a run May 4-7 in the National Arts Centre Studio. "It's a great opportunity, it's a great honour. And there are people from across the country who will come to see it. Who knows, it may end up having a different life after this," says Guedo.

Well, I would say that the 1972 release of UFG as the B-side of "You Turn Me On..." is the original.. Joni's original, that is. I for one would say that Tom Rush's 1966 recording of the song counts as the original, but you know how I am with Joni covers.

I hope Joni is pleased by how much of her music has inspired these kinds of revues and artistic endeavors. There have been quite a few of them.
