Los Angeles 26 January 1995

While Joni Mitchell had made a few one-off appearances in the mid '90s, she hadn't actually committed to a tour in more than a decade. Turbulent Indigo (1994) was the revered singer-songwriter's first album in three years, and her first for Reprise since 1971. Mitchell's informal show in the Griffith Park facility's Wells Fargo Theater was promoted by local triple-A station KCSA-FM and took place before an audience of nearly 200 invited guests. Here, Mitchell confirms once again that she's an artist with a promising future as well as a celebrated past. Never one to rest on her illustrious laurels, she opens with "Refuge of the Roads" from Hejira (1976), before making her way through a loosely thematic set of songs emphasizing her recent oeuvre. Klondike very proudly presents the entire KCSA-FM broadcast of Joni Mitchell's intimate landmark appearance at The Wells Fargo Theater, Los Angeles, on January 26, 1995. Digitally remastered sound with background liners and rare archival photos.
