Documents Joni Mitchell's historic 1979 tour backed by an all-star band of jazz-fusion musicians. Filmed at the Santa Barbara County Bowl and intercut with classic film clips and original footage to give visual interpretations of the music.
Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light performance is one of my favorite recordings. The Dry Cleaner from DeMoines sax solo is mind-blowingly great and much of the album is also at that level. I was visiting a friend recently and learned that he had a video of the performance. Seeing her and the band perform was a treat.
