Add to that Mike's recording prowess and Joni backed by a truly jaw-dropping band and you have all the ingredients for a classic Millard capture. In a review of this show that ran in the LA Times under the headline Joni Mitchell Equal To Legendary Billing, critic Tim Grobaty wrote, There are only a few artists who, at some point in their career, take on the responsibility of becoming such a legend in their time that their performance almost takes a back seat to their presence. It was like that with Bob Dylan in '73 and like that with Joni Mitchell in '79. We'll assume Tim meant '74 for Dylan. • Our pal Goody put extra effort into this one in part because the performance and recording are just so damn good. He wrote, This show should have been released officially, it's that great. These guys are playing for an LA crowd at a great venue and delivering their best. The interaction is stellar. I know this tour really well from many other shows and this is right up at the top of them. • The official live album from the tour, Shadows and Light, was recorded within days of this show in Santa Barbara, but there's a level of excitement and electricity Mike's fabulous audie delivers that the legit release can't touch. • Here's what Jim R recalled about Joni at the Greek: • Mike and I went together to the September 14, 1979 Joni Mitchell concert at The Greek Theatre in LA. This was a must-see event. Excluding one-off performances, this was her first tour stop in LA in FIVE years, an eternity by '70s standards. Joni's previous LA dates happened in 1974, way back in the Ford administration. • We sat in the 5th row behind the pit, elevated a bit on the left side, inside aisle next to the center section. This is definitely in the Sweet Spot, especially with the Greek's excellent acoustics. The Greek, which sits in the shadow of Griffith Park Observatory, is an open-air venue with capacity of just under 6,000. Very intimate. • Joni's band was composed of highly talented jazz musicians whose playing blew us away. • JEMS is proud to partner with Rob, Jim R, Ed F, Barry G and many others to release Millard's historic recordings and to help set the record straight about the man himself. • BK for JEMS
