1983: Joni performs at Alpine Valley in East Troy, Wisconsin. List member Steve
Polifka remembers: "Gloria, Terri and I were in Row M, just about center. We even
brought binoculars, even though they were good seats. The concert was to start at 8,
and she was late, so the three of us started chanting very loudly, "We want some solid
love," for about 5 or six minutes, thinking how cool it was to be rowdy at a Joni
concert- LOL. Soon I froze, and one of them asked me what was wrong, to which I
responded, "There she is!"
"They asked me where, so I pointed out this blonde figure peaking out
(stage right) of the curtain with an 8mm camera pointed right at us. I felt so foolish
that I had to sit down!
"A few years later I was working at a video store, and got a prevue
magazine which featured an article about her Refuge of the Roads video, and how she
had interspersed concert footage with her own 8mm shots. I just about ****! I
freaked,remembering that night, calling Gloria when I got home. Needless to say, I
worried about nothing, having ended up on the cutting room floor..."
