Joni Mitchell Tries To Bring Concert To Television Print-ready version

MTV Website
August 19, 1998

Joni Mitchell is currently shopping around a 90-minute concert television special that she hopes will find a home on a network or perhaps pay-per-view.

Mitchell and an outfit named Eagle Rock are making the rounds with the special, which captures an intimate performance Mitchell gave in late May on the Warner Bros. Lot in Burbank, Caliornia.

The show drew a number of celebrity guests, including Natalie Imbruglia, k.d. lang, Graham Nash, Nastassja Kinski, and Rosanna Arquette, who introduced Mitchell.

The show also featured a gallery showing of Mitchell's paintings, which were on display during Mitchell's performance.

It's not yet known which tracks from that performance made the cut for the special, but here's a look at what Mitchell rolled out that night for the small audience gathered in Burbank:

Night Ride Home
Crazy Cries of Love
Harry's House
Slouching To Bethlehem
Just Like This Train
Black Crow
Amelia
Hejira
Big Yellow Taxi
Facelift
Sex Kills
The Magdalene Laundries
Moon at the Window
Woodstock
The Three Great Stimulants
Song For Sharon
Why Do Fools Fall In Love?
Refuge of the Roads
Nothing Can Be Done
