I am pretty certain that this was the Carnegie Hall concert I attended. And I had been looking for this review for some time - I see that it was posted less than a year ago. My recollection from long, long ago was that this review concluded with a one paragraph afterthought along the lines of "Jackson Browne opened for Ms Mitchell last night. True, he writes good songs - but his presentation is extremely dull". Les - could you (or anyone else) confirm whether my recollection on this is correct ? I may be thinking of a different review, but I do not think so. Bobsart
