I have no idea if this recording or any other recording of this performance has been circulated.

Technical Notes:
No eq’ing or altering.
There is a hum mainly notable in-between songs. It doesn’t detract too much from the music so I made no attempt to eliminate it.
The two discs represent the two sides of the cassette respectively.

Musical Notes:
I believe The Crickets were at this performance and although I cannot find anything online to confirm this I am billing it as such. The first 12 songs are all Holly/Cricket tunes except 3 & 4 which are Holly-related and at the end of the “Well…All Right_It’s So Easy_Peggy Sue” medley he says “The Crickets” as if prompting them to take a bow and there are no more Holly/Crickets songs after that. This performance is less than a year from the release of “The Buddy Holly Story” movie which is mentioned in this performance. The Untitled track is a song “we wrote” (Jennings & The Crickets?) about that movie and what they got wrong. It is not “Old Friend” nor could I find any reference to it searching its lyrics.
The music comes right in on the cassette so I can’t confirm there aren’t missing songs. But I don’t know what other Holly/Cricket song they could have played.

Notes:
JEMS master recording. Very good to excellent sounding recording capturing Joni at the peak of her jazz period touring in support of her album Mingus. This album was a colaboration with jazz legend Charles Mingus who passed away before the album could be finished. This is a fine show with some jazz greats backing Joni on this tour.

comments:
one of Joni Mithell’s all star bands drops in to Western Mass. for a delightful Tuesday evening show. this recording has some problems and a couple of interruptions, missing a little bit but it’s mostly here and all from my buddy’s master tapes. this tape all comes out to just under 102 minutes, it’s pretty listenable quality and a very nice concert. I have a couple more of of these shows in audience recordings but this is the only one with known lineage. it’s not a real
clear “high-fi” recording, but close enough up so it’s a you’re pretty much there production. I’m far from the biggest fan of Joni Mitchell music, but maybe my favorite of hers is this band, which toured just this one year, and her tour with the LA Express of soon before this one. this has to be the best band Joni’s ever toured with (not the only good one) and I’m happy to share this show with dime for maybe the 1st time, almost certainly the 1st time from this recording.
if anyone has a better quality/more complete recording of this show and/or other later 70’s Joni shows. I’m not very familiar with alot of her songs, she does several good ones in here. my favorites are the first and last
tracks in this recording. I think there may be another track or two after Woodstock that wasn’t recorded (maybe before), probably no more than 10 min. or so missing in this recording from the concert. I’ve always liked
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s versions of Woodstock, Joni’s are very different but I like hers too (including this one).

do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
there’s no baloney in this Joni.
