    I'll ask my sources and dig around in my Joni stuff and see what I can find.

    Stay tuned...

    Copyright law expires after 50 years in the US so maybe it will free these unreleased recordings.

    Nope. Effectively, ALL Sound Recordings are under copyright protection until 2067 in the United States

    I saw her in 74' at Roosevelt Field Long Island along with CSN&Y. The only thing I can remember from her is 'Woodstock'.

    Edit: actually, here's the setlist.

    Not to mention that if she actually owns the recordings, she could in her estate instructions completely nix any further release ever.

    A little off topic. I have almost picked up some of the early live Joni only to shy away because of my concern over audio quality. Is there any of them with good sound quality that should be purchased?

    This is making the rounds.

    The music contained within is a second or third generation cassette I received around the time the album was released in 1978. What's contained within:


    1 Introduction (The Whole Outdoor Scene) - Mingus? Tune
    2 Edith and the Kingpin
    3 God Must be a Boogie Man
    4 Coin in the Pocket
    5 Dry Cleaner From Des Moines
    6 Lucky
    7 Unknown - Mingus? Tune
    8 Epilogue (Solo Piano)
    9 A Chair in the Sky (Live)
    10 Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Live)

    Yes, apparently the tape has been circulating since the early ‘90s. Sadly the source now floating around is MP3.

    I heard this for the first time on the Tower Records-sponsored "Tower CD Hour" show on WZLX back in 1991. Because the show was about CD reissues of classic albums and new releases by classic rock artists, I was sure this meant an official CD release was right around the corner. I waited 25 years and then bought the Two to Tango vinyl.

    The album sounds quite good, by the way. Like an official release. Unfortunately, the labels and such are very much like a bootleg.

    Never heard of this, interesting. Sounds like Jan Hammer on "God Must Be.." (as I recall he is one of the musicians credited on the LP for the early sessions).
