The year was 1971. This half hour concert was a portion of the Pink Dress Concert that is sometimes available on trading lists. The original tape has a broadcast master editing clock ticking away at the top of the screen and it's apparent from the non-sequential numbers that the original concert is well over an hour long. . >>> For those who haven't seen the images, she's about 30 years old, 27 or 28 in 1971. >>> The set >>> Chelsea morning - guitar >>> Cactus tree - guitar >>> For free - piano >>> California - dulcimer >>> Big yellow taxi - guitar >>> Both sides now - guitar The longer version includes her between-songs patter which was typical of Joni at the time: long rambling stories, lots of giggling, an air of vulnerability and shyness. The quality was superb and it was a wonderful treat to see the Joni I fell in love with all those years ago. Rick
