Editorial Reviews

By the time Joni Mitchell hit the road for 1979's historic Shadows and Light tour, she'd already transitioned gracefully from the straight-ahead folk sound of Ladies of the Canyon to the pop-flavored Court and Spark. She'd begun experimenting with a more jazz-inspired tone, collaborating with Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius on 1976's Hejira. This disc features Mitchell performing live at the Santa Barbara County Bowl with Pastorius, the Persuasions, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, and Michael Brecker, jamming on tunes from both Shadows and Light and her previous album, the critically lauded Mingus. Tracks include:

In France They Kiss on Main Street

Edith and the King Pin

Coyote

Free Man in Paris

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

Jaco's Solo

The High and the Mighty

Third Stone from the Sun

Dry Cleaner from Des Moines

Amelia

Hejira

Black Crow

Furry Sings the Blues

Raised on Robbery

Why Do Fools Fall in Love?
