Hi all, Last night I was inspired to actually put on some Joni, and thanks to whomever posted about the '83 promo videos (Underneath the Streetlight; Chinese Cafe; & Flat Tires); I put that on for starters. She looks so fecking beautiful! Then I gots a hankerin' for Shadows and Light. Fired up the DVD player and got into it like I was there. However I still have issues with the lip-sync! It is off, especially on Raised on Robbery, Free Man, and Shadows and Light (in certain scenes.) Furry Sings the Blues is the one to compare all the rest to. Amelia is also dead on. I'm wondering if some of this was shot on 2 different nights and then spliced together- Especially Robbery, where you can clearly see Brecker playing the sax in one scene, and there is no sax on the audio track. Then it cuts into a shot where he starts playing. Also check out her guitar strumming, and what Don Alias is playing on video as opposed to what you hear. However, I still love this video, since it was the first concert tour of hers that I ever got to experience...
Steve
