Joni is one of them. This is an amazing performance of an incredible song! It never fails to move me to tears. Astonishing...

I first saw Joni Mitchell perform with no prewarning of the monstrous talent she possessed. It was at a small club in Philly and I only went in as an afterthought having never heard of Joni. To this day it was one of the most moving experiences of my life and since then Joni has continued to amaze with everything she has done. She is the most under appreciated talent of our age . Simply Perfection.

1989 or 1990, sitting on the floor of a Buenos Aires apartment, listening to one of those music-only Sunday afternoon radio shows of the pre-online era, I had never heard a note by Joni. I had only read about her, read what other musicians said of her. Musicians I was a fan of, saying how they were nuts about this woman with the weird male nickname, describing her music as angular and addictive and impossible to cover properly unless you could tune your guitar like you were insane. I didn't even know what nonstandard tuning was. I didn't have a proper grasp of English yet, let alone guitar - I had, in short, no idea of life, the universe, or anything. And this version of Amelia came up on the radio. And I KNEW. I just knew. I was 100% sure that this song, this impossible syncopated sort-of-picking, these chords I couldn't even begin to comprehend, this haunting, impossibly sexy, utterly non-girlish voice..., this was "that Johnny woman" all my favorite rockers were gushing about. I fell in love instantly. And then... then it took me over a whole decade and the advent of Napster just to make sure. Joni is pure gold, always will be.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been searching for this since I first heard it back in 1982, and it's a real gem! Pat just takes us aloft on the strings of his guitar, and I feel so safe and comfortable. (I love flying, but I am so terrified of air turbulence! We hit rough air back in 1971 and took a 6,000 foot tumble through wind sheer on our way to Chicago on June 21. Our pilot was a WWII fighter pilot, and thank God he had the training and experience he did! Our landing gear was broken, and he put that DC8 down with a four point landing that couldn't have been any better. I believe God with piloting that airplane with him, because we were the last plane to land before the airport was closed. There were two storms that merged right over us at the airport, and we had flown through one of them. We then had to get on another airplane right after the airport was reopened to fly to Moline, Illinois. I'm glad we did that, because I didn't want to get on another airplane after that experience. Pat's music helps me through those rough experiences and gives me so many reasons to celebrate life and give thanks to God for all I encounter. I've been listening to him since 1978 or so, but I really fell in love with his music in May of 1982 when I heard an interview with him for the first time. I really hope I get to meet him, because he still inspires me.

Ha ha. Nice one. I used to be into Hardcore music in the 90's but loved Burt Bacharach for some reason. Hated Steely Dan, couldn't stand those "jazzy" melodies... Over time, I dunno.. Something grabs you and watch out. Now when I play Joni Mitchell at home I can tell my kids don't really like it. Something about the melodies and chords. I guess Coltrane was someone who opened Jazz for me, because you could approach his later music as "extreme music" in a way, a bit like noise music (Ascension and everything after that), but then you'll work your way backwards and get to his ballads album and eventually maybe dig it. Check out Sonny Sharrock "Ask The Ages" for something that is super heavy but also very jazz, swinging even, with melodies that suck in your head, but still, really heavy in its way. Then again, as a metal head you might love John Zorn and Naked City...

Check out the whole of Hejira, from which this song comes. It was OK with Joni, liked Ladies of the Canyon, etc; but hering Hejira for the first time completely blew me away. I can still remember the room, the people, the faces and Jacko Pastorius playing bass like a lead guitar. Just stunning and, for me, life changing. Refuge of the Roads tops the album but Amelia runs it a close second. Been a Joni fan ever since but only discovered blue in the last few years. Two stunning albums when she was at the zenith of her powers. No-one sings or plays like her...

This for me started it all....Joni a voice and a talent and a lyricist that will simply not be seen again......an angel and beautifully hot in so many ways and pat that solo started my love affair with metheny.....live at the Greek shadows and light.....the tenderous most beautiful 3 minute solo anyone watching this just chills .....the rest became history the supreme player he can do and does everything and with Lyle and the band simply changed my life ....from brightsized life to the way up.....at 70 now and having gone through cancer this man sustained me and I feel blest to have been alive in his lifetime....oxygen to the soul.... anyone not knowing this man and his music is about to go on a wonderful journey

Stunning restraint from Pat. Truly the ferocious accompanist that Ms. Mitchell needed for this.
