Coyote Here is a live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q-G79h8y1U I didn't know that Mick Jagger ever played guitar on stage! In this version (1981) the first chord sounds very different from Coyote, but I agree with Carmel that in the version taken from the original album, the very first chord sounds exactly the same as Coyote - even the same guitar sound as on the Hejira album - but like the live version it's followed by a completely different chord. It's interesting, but not really that different from two completely different songs that would start, e.g., with a D chord or some other chord - - i.e., I don't think anyone lifted anything from anyone else (not that Carmel was saying that at all). Also, somewhere in the depths of Wolfgang's Vault, you can find a version of Joni singing Coyote live with just her guitar around the time shortly after she had just written the song - - i.e., before it had been recorded on Hejira. I think the guitar in that version is very different from the electrified Hejira version. >> From: carmel rotem >> To: JMDL >> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 6:00:17 AM >> Subject: Stones "Waiting on a friend" guitar Vs.

Coyote Jaggar pretty much used the guitar as a prop. I mean, it's not like he did any solo spots. ;) I really don't think the Stones intentionally ripped off Joni, but it's even harder to believe that Joni heard an early version of their song somewhere and stole it.

Coyote I don't think anyone was lifting from anyone else either, but I did find one very bitchy website that accused Joni of stealing from the Stones. I think the site has been posted here before. The writer has some very nasty, often offensive and sometimes pretty darn funny reviews of albums, including those of Joni Mitchell. If you're interested, here it is (you will need to scroll down from the top - it's not really a blank page) but, be warned - some of you will be offended: http://www.markprindle.com/mitchell.htm P.S. Didn't know Jagger played either - it interferes with the strut. >________________________________ > From: Marian Russell >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 8:46:00 AM >Subject: Re: Stones "Waiting on a friend" guitar Vs.
