Hi Mary, Welcome to the list.
Good news/bad news. The bad news is that you can't buy the "TNT-All Star Tribute to Joni Mitchell" in a store. The good news is that you don't need to. I taped it in stereo from a digital cable connection. Since it's out-of-print, I'll make a stereo dub for ya if you follow these 3 guidelines: 1. Promise to never profit from the material. 2. Send me a blank VHS tape and 3. a note to remind me of what you seek. If you don't have the "Joni & James on the BBC" in 1970, send along a blank CD too. If you want more, there's lots where that came from. As a matter of fact, I'd skip the TNT show at first and go for the 4 VHS tapes of Joni's own tv appearances, Ashara's footage of the show of her visual art "voices", and even her childhood home in Maidstone, SK. For example, there's Joni on the Dick Cavett show the day after the Woodstock festival ended. How cool is that? If you want, I'll make stereo dubs of the "Refuge Of the Road" and "Come In >From the Cold" videos for ya too since they are also out-of-print. They total about 1hr, 45 mins. Remember Mary, there are no stupid questions. You're only a "shy newbie" once. Now go buy some blanks and write me, off-list! And now a word about videos that put royalty pennies in Joni's satchel and subsidize flying the grandchildren into Los Angeles to see "Big Momma": The "Shadows and Light" video is available for purchase on ebay from a reputable guy in Hong Kong and it's a compelling document of Joni's jazz singing, the important collaboration with Charles Mingus, and some of the world's finest performances in the singer-songwriter universe. The "Painting With Words and Music" video is available right now for purchase on DVD in North America. It shows Joni dancing it up, some of her paintings, and tons of songs from the "Turbulent Indigo" era that I call "Intellect Engaged". Lama Mary in California asked, >>>Is there a video of the Tribute to joni that was broadcast April 16 2000?
