An unbelievable 1979 concert of Joni Mitchell backed by the Demi Gods of Modern Jazz of the Day, Pat Methany on Guitar, Lyle Mays on Keys, Michael Brecker on Sax, Don Alias on Drums, and last but ceratinly not least, Jaco Pastorius on Bass, this concert will leave you with a profound respect for Joni as well as a crystal clear sense of just what a MOTHER Jaco was. Watching the crowd look on as Jaco takes the stage for his extended solo I couldn't help but to wonder how many of those people had any Idea who Jaco was, while I am sure that many were aware, I also know that most were simply Joni Fans and probably had no knowledge of Jaco, I could help but to think of the faces in the Montery Crowd that witnessed Hendrix decades ago while watching Jaco flip them out, and yes, he was very aware that he was flipping them out, Simply unbeleivable.
