Firstly Bill, let me welcome you to the "never a dull moment" of the JMDL! :~) <<What recordings, legitimate, bootleg or otherwise feature Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. If these recordings exist when and where were they recorded and what songs are on them.>> Among the legitimate recordings are the ones on "Blue" where James backs up Joni on some tracks. Check the record credits for more detail. He also sings back-up vocals on "Man To Man" on Joni's "Wild Things Run Fast" release. The two of them also sing backup on Carole King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" from Tapestry. Joni does a beautiful duet with James on "Long Ago & Far Away" on his excellent "Mud Slide Slim" release, as well as add vocals to "You've Got A Friend". As for bootlegs, there is basically one. They performed together (and separately) at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 (the exact date is unconfirmed, but from what I can tell the recording date and the broadcast date on the BBC were both in December). As this was a radio broadcast, the quality of the recording is very nice. There are MANY different bootlegs out there of this show, some that identify it as 1972 and 1973. As far as I know, there is only one. Here is the complete songlist, including some soundcheck material: 1. Joni - That Song About The Midway 2. Joni - The Gallery 3. James - Rainy Day Man 4. James - Steamroller Blues 5. Joni - The Priest 6. Joni - Carey 7. James - Carolina In My Mind 8. Both - California 9. Both - For Free 10. Both - The Circle Game 11. Both - You Can Close Your Eyes 12. Joni - Hunter 13. Joni - River 14. Joni - My Old Man 15. Both - A Case of You 16. Joni - Carey (with extended story) If you're interested in obtaining this audio, it's available both in cassette or CD, for only the cost of postage and blank media. It's the one that Brian Gross hooked me with, and now I'm a hopeless addict slut. But no 12-step program for me, thank you veddy much! :~) Hope that answers your questions, looking forward to hearing more from you! Bob NP: Andy Partridge, "The Wheel & The Maypole" (demo)
