I'm one of those people, then, because I missed all of the other stuff. Completely. I've always kind of traveled in my own musical world (almost never buying soundtracks, which I dislike to this day), and I have always been woefully behind on movies, current or otherwise.

I still don't know how much individual tickets will be, but at least I've confirmed that you can only buy tickets now, if you're purchasing their three-event package (today if you have a particular credit card, and Wednesday for anyone else but, I repeat, only if you're purchasing the three events - Joni tribute, opera and ballet.) For those of us who are only wanting to get tickets to the concert, these will be on sale on Saturday, April 20. Unfortunately they didn't respond to my other question: how much will these tickets be? It's difficult to know whether they're evading my questionbecause they don't know yet, or if it's one of those situations where they answer only one question, which I find an increasingly frequent frustration when addressing questions to customer service types.

I think her music at the time might have been overwhelmed by the enormity of the event, and the external perspective she had helped her write a better song than what she would have come up with if she had actually been there." I got the sense that Crosby understood this.

Lots of people who don't know the story believe that Joni was at Woodstock. Lots of people who don't know better think that the song was written by CSNY because it was such a hit for them. But yeah ... Joni was a big part of the spirit of Woodstock, even though she was (if my memory serves) stuck in a motel room prior to going on Dick Cavett's show. She captured the spirit of those days beautifully and made that spirit immortal with her song. I loved being at A Day in the Garden in 1998 and hearing Joni say, when she took the stage, "It took me 29 years to get here ..." As far as I'm concerned, though, she was there all along.
