Joni Mitchell - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Sounds for Saturday, London, Britain, 5-19-1972

I just posted a revamped and renamed version of a 1970 Joni Mitchell BBC concert I'd posted before, so I could get to posting this one. It's a BBC concert she did in 1972, before the release of her next album "For the Roses" later that year.

This concert remains officially unreleased, though hopefully that could change when the "Archives, Volume 3" box set comes out. So far, much of this concert has been bootlegged, but not all of it. It is known the songs "A Case of You" and "Both Sides Now" were also played, and the order they appeared. So I found other versions of those from a different 1972 concert and added them in. The recording of concert, from the Troubadour in Los Angeles in December 1972, is an audience bootleg, but the sound quality is roughly comparable to the rest of this show.

Many of the songs are from her previous albums, but she plays a few from "For the Roses," which would get released about six months later: "Electricity," "Judgement of the Moon and Stars (Ludwig's Tune)," "See You Sometime," "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio," and "For the Roses." Some of those were only played in 1972. And according to setlist.fm (which is sometimes incomplete), this was the only concert performance of "See You Sometime."

This album is 43 minutes long. It seems to be the complete show, according to Mitchell's official website, jonimitchell.com.

The cover photo comes from this exact concert. But if my memory is correct, I colorized it.

  2. I certainly appreciate the talk between songs is in separate files.

  3. I agree with the suggestion to put the talk into seperate files of their own.
