Rating:  - ...my ten-year old's a more sensitive editor...
I only liked half of this album on vinyl ... the latter half.
And if the performance had been transferred from the vinyl version, I'd give it three stars.
BUT
This 'transfer' from vinyl to CD is a SUCH a hack job. One can easily hear the crude edits. The intimacy of the dialogue from the original recording was slashed.
Truly, my little boy could have done a better remastering job.
For shame.
Rating:  - One of my favorite live albums
How many high points is one artist allowed? In Joni's case, a whole pile. She gives a lot of the hold hits an extreme makeover, which in my mind is what all artists should do when they make live albums: the jazz fusion "Woodstock" has little to do with either her original studio recording or Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's rock cover. That's the most extreme example, but "Big Yellow Taxi" (redone as a blues-rocker), and the Miles Davis-influenced "Rainy Night House" are barely recognizable. Which ... Read More
Rating:  - LA Express is a fine band
I don't really understand the critism os the band here. Yes, 30 years later, it sounds cheesy in parts, but remember that they were representing a sound at that time. And remember that this is essentially the same band that just months later went on to make Court and Spark w/ Joni. Plus this is not a studio album - of course they are going to try to dress up the songs a little bit.
I own almost all of the Joni albums and this totally worth getting.

Rating: - Joni is a real gem
I'm listening to this cd as I type this and I can't help but be grateful that she has helped me in so many ways along the years...her voice is so clear and strong and what a fabulous songwriter and musician. She's taught me to sing loudly and feel deeply and to keep my perspective clear. If you don't have this cd, it's a Must...I feel sorry for anyone who's not familiar with Joni's work...her talent and music is timeless.
Rating: - Miles of Joni
This live set from 1974 captures Joni Mitchell with the L.A. Express performing some of her best material up to that time.
Joni is in scintillating form. Her voice at this time was as good as it ever got, and that means you're listening to one of the most flexible female voices in the history of rock music. You'll have no doubt about this when you hear a track like "All I Want". The pitch and control of dynamics she gets from her voice on this track are simply amazing.
