The two wavy bars represented the Mississippi River. The circle above the river represented the moon, since the concerts were held in the evening.
A smaller but just as enthusiastic crowd as [Janice] Joplin's was drawn by Arlo Guthrie and Joni Mitchell. They combined Guthrie's witty guitar talks with Joni's singing. - 1970 Muse Yearbook (SIU Edwardsville) Page 26.

I don't think I saw Joni in '69 but I know I saw her at the Mississippi River Festival. She did 2 sets, the first acoustic with numbers from the "Blue" album including "A Case of You" on dulcimer. The second set was with electric backup band. I don't see this concert listed. Is there ay way I can find out the year? Thanks for all the great songs, Joni!
