Like I said I watched the video that has Joni in her "pink dress" performance, and the thing that stands out is how she's just GLOWING and has this constant smile. The next portion is The Old Grey Whistle Test which shows her playing with Scott & Co. in The New Victoria Theatre in '74, and she's so solemn and has that downturned mouth...you'd think it was 2 different performers. I'm sure there were a lot of factors, pure fatigue not being the least of them. When I sit back and re-cap what Joni did from 68-79 (the records, the tours, the writing, the relationships) it's pretty mind-boggling. Bob NP: The Film Studio Orchestra, "The Circle Game"
