JONI MITCHELL



New York 1972 [no label, 1CD]
Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY; February 23, 1972. Very good soundboard. Slight distortion.

When it comes to Joni Mitchell albums, most fans would include 1971’s Blue as among her best. Here is a Rolling Stone review:

With Blue, Mitchell’s lyrical outlook became much more entwined with her own emotions, quickly establishing her as the most significant of the confessional singer/songwriters. Her delicate but ever-adventurous vocals, bolstered by the album’s quiet but assured instrumentation, left the songs to speak for themselves. The giddy hopefulness of All I Want, the bittersweet regret of Last Time I Saw Richard and the sheer romantic wisdom of the title tune spoke eloquently.

This show has been widely shared among fans and, along the way, someone added these notes:

This soundboard show features Joni alone (until the final track) in NYC at the Carnegie. The performance is nearly exactly midway between “Blue” (June ‘71) and “For The Roses” (November ‘72) and features Joni playing mostly songs from those two LPs, plus a few of the obligatory back catalog stuff. The “For The Roses” songs are really great to hear, in raw, solo versions nine months before their actual album release. Joni is her typical effervescent early ’70s self, with quite a bit of fun audience interaction. She’s clearly happy to be there. On the last song, she is joined by Graham Nash and Stephen Stills.

Perhaps one of these days, a cleaner version of this show (a couple of generations up the line?) might surface.

BUSKING !!!

I posted a lens over on SQUIDOO on busking.... tips, etiquette etc...

Here are some suggestions that I've accumulated in my busking experiences. Additions and contradictions welcome. For what it's worth, my act is to stand there playing fiddle tunes - I don't bottle (directly solicit tips) or do banter, and somebody with a more "show business" kind of act might need to do some things differently.

CHOOSING A PLACE

1. Pick a spot where you're visible from as many directions as possible. People need time to recognize what you're doing, decide to give you a tip, and find it in their pockets. If they can see you for a minute before they're actually in front of you, they're a lot more likely to give you a tip then if they suddenly come upon you hidden in a doorway and only have seconds to react.

2. Be very considerate about where you set up, so that you avoid confrontation and avoid annoying the passersby. Be sure that you are not blocking smooth traffic flow into any store, and be sure that you're not making it difficult for wheelchairs or baby strollers to pass or get onto the curb. Also, avoid captive audiences (i.e., playing right beside a restaurant with outdoor seating).

3. One exception to what I just said about captive audiences is traffic lights - choosing intersections that have traffic lights is good, because being a briefly captive audience gives them the time they need to decide to give you a tip.
