Editorial Reviews

On her second concert video, Joni Mitchell performed material from her most recent album, the October 1982 Geffen release Wild Things Run Fast, but she also found room in the one-hour running time for the occasional old favorite, notably "For Free" and "Woodstock." Leading a four-piece band of jazz-rock players that included drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and keyboard player Russell Ferrante, Mitchell turned in performances more rocking than those on her previous video, Shadows and Light. As she had in that film, she enhanced the concert footage, adding bits of other material, mostly home movies shot on the road, but also excerpts from films and even a snatch of herself performing "Both Sides Now" on TV back in the '60s. One still might hope for a Joni Mitchell video encompassing material like that along with more recent performances, but for the moment, Refuge of the Roads provides the broadest look at her work over time.
