Here it is Richard - unfortunately not very good quality mono recordings made (I suspect) in BBC Studios - of Chelsea Morning, The Gallery, Night In The City and Cactus Tree. Pretty close to the original recorded arrangements - apart from an over-zealous flautist on Night in the City. http://cl.ly/2Q0v2o1T2B0d2a0J2E3V/Joni_Mitchell_-_Archive_Session_1968_.1.mp3 (click on link to stream or right click and save to download) best to all PaulC ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:23:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Mutts of the Planet perform Blue & Court & Spark with surprise special guest. What? You couldn't get Tom Scott? :-) Or maybe get Robben Ford or Steve Carlton and then you can sit back and enjoy the show, Dave. All kidding aside, this is a WONDERFUL coup. You know I'd be there if I could. Bob NP: Janis Ian, "Billie's Bones" From: Dave Blackburn To: Joni Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 9:42 PM Subject: Mutts of the Planet perform Blue & Court & Spark with surprise special guest. Dear Joni friends, I am happy to announce an upcoming Joni extravaganza concert on Sunday Nov 6th (happy 68th birthday Joni!) at Dizzy's in San Diego at 7pm. http://dizzysjazz.com/calendar.php Robin Adler and Mutts of the Planet will perform the Blue and Court and Spark albums in their entirety, and guess who will be playing bass? Max Bennett!! Yes, indeed, the man who recorded Court and Spark in the first place! Max said he would love to play with us after receiving our Safaris to the Heart CD and we are honored to have him join us. We need to pack the place so if you can get yourself to San Diego that night you should, or if you know anyone who would want to come to this please spread the word. This is our biggest undertaking yet and should be a Joni night to remember. best wishes, Dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:40:03 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Interview with Max Bennett, 99% JC Thanks to Dave for the interview, Les for posting it, and Max for sharing his time.

But see what I found while listening to your clips: Joni doing a live cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI8kJXUWDlg&feature=related I first thought it must be a mistake (like another clip called "Joni Mitchell wins best dressed 2011" - it turned out to be a totally different person. But this one is real, Joni's voice is easy to recognise - it is her more recent, smoky voice. The comment only says 1983-07-24 Wantagh, NY Am I the only one being totally surprised by this? And does anyone has details about this gig. e.g. what was the occasion, and who were the backing musicians?

No idea, Bob. It's a guy on piano with a young girl singing in a studio. It doesn't give their names on YouTube - just posts Joni's lyrics below.

Thanks for the clarification, Gary - and what a great treasure you have! You're right about Woodstock, definitely a summer of '69 thing. The only other comment I'll make regarding that program is that I wouldn't necessarily call DAD a "blues number"... Things are cool here in China, but it's definitely starting to wear thin. Ready to be home again, about 2 more months before that happens. As for being safe, China is VERY safe - - unless you're trying to cross the street that is.
