On February 20 in Joni Mitchell History: 1966: Chuck and Joni Mitchell perform the sixth of seven nights in a row at the Chess Mate in Detroit.
1976: Joni performs at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York. Rolling Stone later published a review of the concert, saying: "For "Help Me," her opener, Mitchell dressed in a black pantsuit, topped by a black felt hat with her hair piled up inside, the total effect being one of androgynous austerity. Frequently turning her back to the audience and not talking during the first four songs, she made Dylan seem accessible. Two hours later, she would remove her hat (to great applause), strip off her jacket, roll up her sleeves and, cigarette in hand, close with a loose, smiling rendition of 'Twisted.'"
