Greenpeace Releases Rare, Intimate 1970 Solo Concerts from Joni Mitchell and James Taylor...

Timmins reached out to representatives for Mitchell and Taylor, and after much back-and-forth secured the rights to release the concert. A two-disc CD, along with a booklet containing photos from the show, has been released by Greenpeace through the organization’s Web site. Timmins said he is still struck by what he calls the “pristine simplicity” of the concert. “It’s one player, sitting in front of 10,000 people, with two microphones,” he said. “They played in a more intimate way then in an arena than people play today in cafes.”
