Saturday Sounds - Joni Mitchell - April 24, 1983, Wembley Arena, London UK

This week's musical treat is a rare video of a Joni Mitchell concert from April 24, 1983 at London's Wembley Arena.  It was filmed and broadcast on the BBC 2 network. Joni is supported by a crackerjack band that included The band for this tour included Michael Landau (guitar), Russell Ferrante (keyboards), Larry Klein (bass), and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums).

The poster didn't include a setlist, but the full concert setlist is included on setlists.fm. The hour-long video includes some of my favourite songs: "Free Man in Paris", "A Case of You" and "Amelia".  It looks like the original 4:3 video has been stretched to 16:9 but the audio is just fine. Enjoy.
