There are many memorable moments. The whole show was so elegantly done,
so Joni-ish! I loved the way the music and images and voices all fit
together so seamlessly. And seeing the early performances was such a
treat. I held my breath during Blue so I wouldn't miss anything. And, as
other people have already mentioned, all the bits of info about her
creative process were wonderful, too. Sounds like she could easily get
into the creative zone where time stops and the outside world ceases to
exist. I liked Nash's mention of the push and pull, the come here, stay
away (while I create), of the creative life. And I was impressed again
by Joni's willingness to stay open to whatever she was feeling, no
matter how painful it was.    

One of my favorite moments was when they showed a photo of the house
Joni grew up in. My first thought when I saw that big rectangular
picture window was, there's Joni's frame for her paintings. Then I
laughed at her zippy comment about her thoughts as a kid when she looked
out that window, "Here they come where they going?" Funny and very charming.
