I've seen Joni six times. The first was at Avery Fisher Hall (NYC) in 1974, with the LA Express. The show was sold out, but one of my sister's friends worked at Avery Fisher and was going to sneak me in. I ended up scalping a ticket and paying something obscene like $30. Of course it was exciting to finally see my Joni, but as shows go it wasn't nearly as good as the next one I saw, at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium during the Shadows & Light tour. That was an astonishing show. From my point of view, it was her dream band, and I loved when she sang with the Persuasions. Despite the size of the venue, the audience was just rapt. I remember hearing gasps when she sang Amelia.
Then I saw her on the Wild Things tour in 83 or thereabouts, and I saw her at A Day in the Garden, in NYC with Dylan and Morrison, and in Jersey on the Both Sides Now tour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------
