<<the only new song she performed was 
"the Crazy Cries of Love" and i was hoping to hear "Harlem in Havana" and or 
"Man from Mars"  live at the time.>>

She did Facelift too, Blair, but not at the Cole Field House show that you saw (that's 
on its way to you ;~)). But I think you make a good point. MfM would have been great 
to hear live, I wasn't expecting her to do HiH because of the studio complexities, the 
overlayered vocals, guitars, etc.

 <<The other thing to consider is that she had an alotted time to perform and wanted 
to keep it familiar?>>

I think too that she was sticking to songs she has played a lot live; this tour was 
put together late in the game & there was not a lot of rehearsal time. And Joni would 
not want to perform underrehearsed, I don't think. As the tour progressed, she was 
able to add some numbers (DJRD, Song For Sharon, BSN).

I don't think it was familiarity as much as songs that she felt she & the band could 
do well.
