I have that tape (the BBC tape), courtesy of Bob Muller. In our correspondence leading up to my receiving it (with many other goodies) I got the impression that it was just the Pink Dress concert. So, after viewing the 45- minute concert and seeing the closing credit, I rewound and lent it to to friends. Got it back 3 months later, and put it on Thursday night at 11:15, figuring I'd fade off around midnight. I wake up at 12:30, and I'm in the middle of this other concert . What's this ? turns out the tape's over two 2 hours long. So, that keeps me up until 2 am of course, and I'm OkraMan at work the next day - but as Bob said, what a contrast. Turns out both my friend only looked at the Pink Dress concert, too, so I ended up lending it out again ! Taking what Bob M said one step farther, sequencing the Pink Dress, the Miles of Aisles and the S&L footage, then the Refuge video then the big jump to PWW& M provides a pretty insightful overall view of Joni the performer (I have my own images of the second Carnegie hall concert - which came between Pink Dress and MOA - and the BSN tour, too). Really and truly, I could drink a case of her, and still be on my feet. Unlike all the rest of you. ;-) Bobsart
