Damn! This is something I never thought I’d see/hear. Joni Mitchell on the Newport Folk Festival stage on 24 July 2022, the first time since the 1969 festival. More importantly, her first live performance (with lots of support from friends) since her brain aneurysm in 2015 (and even then she hadn’t done a full set since the Wiltern in LA on 13 November 2002). I knew about the private Joni Jams get-togethers at her home, but had discounted the idea she’d ever go on stage again.
This is the full Joni Jams set from Newport, 
Brandi Carlile for helping this piece of magic happen, pieced together from official footage and (mainly) audience footage posted by Amy Karibian.
A lot of this had me close to tears.

I’ve been streaming a lot of late 60s/early 70s soul albums recently, and it’s always a nice bonus surprise (happens pretty frequently) when I play an album without looking at the track titles and am soon confronted with a Beatles cover.
…and again!

It’s distracting and irritating at times, yeah…but the 
can also be kinda exciting, at certain musically ecstatic points (“Twist And Shout ” climaxes, “WOO”+dual head shakes in “She Loves You “), like a LOUD fifth instrument. I found the album pretty good overall (and I was a longtime Beatles live skeptic until hearing the amazing Star-Club tape five years ago.) I really like how “Ticket” rides into double-time for that brief coda, wish they could’ve extended that into a Yardbirds style raveup for a minute or three…

Wow, a little coffee and a listen to the Stunning was a great wake up call this morning! The instrumental portions reminded of the E Street Band when Clarence was still alive.

Offline I’m on a bit of a Paul Simon/Simon & Garfunkel kick. I’ve loved Graceland for as long as I can remember, and listened through on a car journey today. Now I’m listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water. I have no memory of ever having listened to this album before, but all the songs are so familiar I can sing along. I wonder if my Dad had it on vinyl? Or if I’ve just picked them all up by osmosis over the years.

VERDICT: Some exciting moments, and of course the musicianship is spectacular, but a little dull and background-musicish on whole. George’s best arranging moments are reminiscent of his “Live And Let Die ” work, and also of Jeff Beck’s own first full-on jazz-rock effort “Blow By Blow”
Now playing: the one and only album by Boston’s The Remains, from 1966 (year they opened for Beatles in USA tour.) Pretty good little album, more in the Stones mold than Beatles (but both are there)

Kate Bush was on the BBC last night and the music was at times bizarre but very good. This morning ‘Cloudbusting’ was on a TV music channel and the song is fantastic.

Offline I used to see that video/song a lot on Canada’s video network “MuchMusic” occasionally upon its ’85 premiere, but it was too advanced and arty for 18 year old vonbontee to appreciate properly. It was a very high-profile video, with the star power of Sutherland’s substantial appearance. Cooler schoolmates than myself no doubt loved Kate’s “Hounds” album at the time; it took me a couple of further decades to appreciate it in the downloading era. And of course, now the Netflix era has brought it into prominence again!

Offline Yeah. Kate is one of those artists that has to click to have a chance of understanding and I am one of them, mainly as a lot of the music is different to most else. I’ve heard this a couple of times now and have no idea what to make of it yet it’s really enjoyable.
Her performances are captivating as well, which can be quite unusual for TV promos, so I recommend watching the BBC compilation of some of them which is currently on the iPlayer, or elsewhere online.

Offline I’ve liked some Frank Zappa material for a few years now (mostly Hot Rats, Freak Out, and a few others here and there), but the past few days I’ve been on a real kick and keep discovering great songs. The whole One Size Fits All album has been on repeat today. ‘Inca Roads’ is amazing, obviously, but this one is great too.

Offline That one’s always been a favourite (sometimes THE favourite) among much of the Zappa cult; it’s not a particular favourite of my own (CD is still one of about 20 I’ve got), but Frank’s amazing guitar tone and soloing keep improving. And his musicians are astonishing, of course, as they need to be to execute those convoluted compositions. My favourites with (almost) the same lineup and similar approach are “Overnite Sensation” and the live “Roxy & Elsewhere”), from 1973-4.
