I got my DVD a couple of days ago, but last night was the first chance I had to play it. Immensely enjoyable, and quite a few surprises. Some songs are very faithful renditions, while others took the song in very exciting directions. Trouble Child/Twisted, California, Blue - All stands out for me, but all of them were first rate. One of my favorite moments of the concert, when Robin hinted at doing the same thing with Hissing and Hejira, and then Don Juan. I sure hope that happens. Standing O for Robin and the Mutts!

Rosie has taken her admiration for the song-writing, singing and playing of Joni Mitchell as the inspiration for a show about different aspects of Jonibs life and art. These days Joni is best known for hit songs such as Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock but there is far more to her work than this. Through the medium of original songs composed with lyricist Mike Jones and guitarist Alejandro Sancho, Rosie and her band explore Jonibs life and career b from her paintings to her collaboration with Charles Mingus." It runs in March of 2012, maybe something some of our UK JMDLer's could check out.

I got mine on Monday, I haven't watched it yet as this has been a crazy week thus far and I want to watch it when I can really savor it. Based on the videos I've seen online I'm anxious to watch it, especially on a large screen with a nice stereo system pushing Dave's immaculate sonics. And Dave - now you can advertise the Mutts as "better than Chick Corea".
