Joni Mitchell - 1968-01-10, Club 47, Cambridge, MA - FM - Randall version / upgrade - Reseed
By request, Randall's (pitch-corrected) source-upgrade reappears here after a 5-year absence.
*** Contrast Clause *** This is a differently sourced version of the currently seeding torrent:
"JONI MITCHELL 1968-01-10 (exact date uncertain) Club 47, Cambridge MA - WTBS FM broadcast, unknown lineage - SBEs fixed"
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=403299
This version came originally from a CDR picked up by Randall from the Joni Mitchell DC++ hub in April 2007. It is not from the boot, "By The Banks of the River Charles." This 04-07 CDR (Randall) version was then speed-corrected and shared by him. The other-source version on the tracker now has been described as having more hiss and more bass than Randall's.
The improvements I hear here are there. Though they may not be major, just enough to make a more than Morning Morgantown er minor difference to your enjoyment of this only a Joni folkie beauty.
Full-song audio contrast samples in comments below.

Speed Corrected
After some correspondence with "Professor Goody," it was determined that this show was running quite a bit fast. Professor G's advice has always been on the mark (no pun intended) so I have pitch and speed corrected the recording according to his instructions. Thanks, Professor!

As noted, this comes your way today by DIME request.
I ask only that someone out there may now be kind enough to pass back a worthy show that has not been on DIME in any form since 2010:
Can I get a reseed, please: Joni Mitchell - 1972-06-15, L'Olympia Theatre, Paris FR

JANUARY 10
NEW YEAR'S DAY: For the Amerindian Iroquois who celebrate with a 'Feast of Dreams'.
1968
-- Vietnam: The 10,000th US airplane is lost over Vietnam ("Calling Commander Cody!")
-- US: With thoughts that no longer fit The Man, she is so busy being free in the People's Republic of Cambridge.
Joni's first album would finally see the bright light of day in two months time. 'Song to a Seagull,' produced by David Crosby, is released on Reprise in March of 1968.
[Is it no wonder then on the last day of that month, LBJ would surprise the nation by turning on, tuning in and dropping out like a lamb on national television. When he announced he would not run for re-election by concluding with the lines: 'I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President... Song to a Seagull is just that freaking good. And now I know I am just that damn inadequate. Rock is dead, they say. How many kids did you kill today?! I am but a man, and man is a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. So I do not believe I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any duties other than the awesome duty to just listen to Joni, to just listen to her glisten.']
This show so glows from the dazzling display of six mind-blowing kisses, from her highly underrated, classical classic de-beauty. Songs to a seagull from a see-girl who sings of and brings on everything.
The Club 47 set further includes three songs from her second coming album, 'Clouds,' and two from her third, 'Ladies of the Canyon.' If all that were not enough, the Belle of Saskatoon reaches into her bag of kicks to deliver four unreleased, Joni boni maronies: "Gift of the Magi," "Ballerina Valerie," "Come to the Sunshine" and "The Way It Is."
If there is a better Mitchell live recording, I do not believe I have learned it.
I need, you need, we all so need Joni.
