Brad 1980 Shadows and Light tour. The only reason I know this bit of Joni Mitchell trivia is that on that tour, Pat Metheny played guitar, Jaco Pastorious played bass, Lyle Mays (whose alma mater happens to be the school I go to) on Piano, Michael Brecker on sax, and Don Alias on percussion. I think she was trying to do a sort of a jazz thing. Needless to say, she was ridiculously outclassed by the musicians on her own tour. 000526
