JONI MITCHELL Sydney 1983 - Live at the Sydney Opera House, Australia, 1983 | Big O

 Now this is actually rather good and the quality outstanding. Mitchell in the Eighties was in her prime of the jazz era old folkie’s career! Great band and a great song selection. If you can get past the sophomoric abuse and filth of the comments section at Big O which always tends to let the side down somewhat, this is really worth checking out for Mitchell fans
