7. Shadows and light was a great tour

but I like Joni Mitchell's performance of Coyote with The Band. I think it was the best performance recording. I love Jaco and Pat, but I found Jaco's, admittedly tasteful, noodling to be distracting from the vocal, lyrical point of the song. Robbie's phrasing didn't step on the vocal, which I find mesmerizing on the Last Waltz version.

Joni assembled a great band for her Shados and Light tour; she is a great musician herself. But she is foremost a songwriter whose guitar and piano work is expert and original, but subtle.

When you do a major tour of songs encompassing the span of your carreer, however, you need to keep the audience energized for an hour and a half +. And she treated the audience by featuring Jaco, Pat et al at several points during the show.

I just feel that the Last Waltz performance had better velocity and brightness. The vocal was allowed to soar, move and sustain without feeling rushed.

6. She sang about that coyote….

… and has lived out her career just as she wanted, I suppose.

However she continues this journey, she's added some wonderful moments to mine.
