Yo, Trader John! Welcome. It's funny you should mention a CD tree. The Joni Mitchell Internet community's archivist, Simon, sent me 3 CDs a few weeks ago. I've been meaning to see who is interested in them. Your post prompted me to action.
The first CD is an archival transfer of the so-called "Joni and James" (Taylor) concert on the BBC. It's He puts this appearance as London, England, Paris Cinema, October 29th, 1970. As many on the list will tell you, it was a great show, with wonderful stories, humor, snappy repartee, and even a false start. It's 11 tracks from a top quality transcription LP (!), played through a Mark Levinson phono preamp, then digitized using an oversampling converter. In addition to the 11 tracks from the actual BBC transcription, Simon included 5 tracks from a soundcheck. The unreleased song Joni wrote called "Hunter" is among them. CD2 and CD3 are Joni's appearance on a music and interview radio show. The host, David Dye, at WXPN in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is completely familiar with Joni's material and actually asks literate and intelligent questions. Joni talks about everything from Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, "Ethiopia", Wayne Shorter, "Sex Kills", her favorite English teacher, and collaborating with David Crosby. The show was broadcast on September 5, 1994. I'll dub it for anyone who follows these 3 basic rules: * Agree not to ever profit in any way from spreading it around, * Send 3 blank CD-R discs, and * Include return postage. Anyone who wants it should write to me, offlist. Thanks for the bandwidth, Les. All the best, Lama Trader John said, >>>>>> While I have been able to locate some of Joni's earlier shows in my trading circles (and, then, sometimes with great difficulty), I have noted that many of the ones I have received have originated from tape sources that were obviously many generations removed from the originals.
