Seeing Joni Mitchell perform live was unlike any other concert experience – it was intimate, introspective, and emotionally profound.Whether in a small folk club, a theater, or later, on larger stages, the atmosphere she created was always deeply personal and hauntingly beautiful.She didn’t “perform” in the showbiz sense.She shared – poems, stories, diary entries set to music.It wasn’t about spectacle.It was about truth.To see Joni Mitchell live was to sit in the presence of an artist painting with sound.It was raw but refined, tender but defiant.She offered no easy answers – only beauty, complexity, and brutal honesty.You didn’t leave humming a hook; you left thinking about your entire life.Live Icons presents a selection of live radio broadcasts highlighting Joni’s presence and ability as a defining artist.Recordings taken from:The Second Fret Club, Philadelphia, PA November 17th 1966 (WRTI-FM)Folklore, WHAT-FM Studios, March 19th 1967 (WHAT-FM) with Gordon Lightfoot and Chuck Klein)Folklore, WDAS-FM Studios, November 3rd 1968 (WDAS-FM) with Dave Van Ronk and Chris Smither)Newport Folk Festival, Festival Field, Newport, RI July 19th 1969 (PBS)Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA February 19th 1976 (WBCN-FM)The Fez Nightclub, New York, NY November 6th 1986 (WNEW-FM)
