Hey Arthur and Bob, I have a rough video of the Wembley show on April 24, 1983. Would you like to see it? <Hint: Say, "HELL YES!">
It's really a great coincidence that this concert came up in conversation because I've been quietly planning to bring it along to JoniFest and spring it on everyone. In my opinion it is the crown jewel in Wally Breese's video collection. About a year ago, Megan Allen asked me to make safety copies of the dubs that Wally made for her. There were about 8 videos most of which Barbara Burst and Ashara have already treed for us. After I sent the safety copies to Megan, I forwarded Megan's originals for consideration for future trees. The Wembly show is the one when she said, "We're glad to be here. How's everbody doin?" Just a few people cheer. Teasing, she goes, "Alright? Is that all? Just alright?" Much bigger cheer. Joni: "Yeah! Alright! That's about how glad WE are too!" The Wembly date is grainy as all get out, and everything that Wally dubbed for Megan is in mono BUT, as you said, it was a great show. She did stuff from "Wild Things Run Fast" which, for me, is an essential Joni title. She sat at the piano, with a full band, and did "Chinese Cafe"!! For me, that's a good as this little singer-songwriter game gets. Lamadoo ps, the video I have is "only" about 50 minutes. Does someone else have a longer, or stereo, or superior-quality video of Wembley on 24th April, 1983? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > **Just new to the list.
