Re: Joni's Shadows & Light

I actually saw Joni in concert during this tour (Providence, late 
summer '79) and to this day what I remember most is being transported, 
almost spiritually, by the song "Shadows and Light" as it was done in 
person. And I remember hearing it on the record, some time afterwards 
(I didn't own "Hissing" at that point, sorry to say!), and almost 
feeling like it was a different song, or that maybe I had somehow 
inflated it in my memory into something it wasn't. Probably would be 
nice to do as Bruce suggests and watch the DVD. Thanks for the 
suggestion!

I love this album - probably my favorite live album of all time.  
"Black Crow"
is tremendous.  "Shadows and Light" is better than the studio version - 
it
really comes alive.  This is Joni at the peak of her game, and it is an 
amazing
band.
