Mitchell, Joni

Newport Folk Festival 19 July 1969

This superb set was recorded at the legendary Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island on the evening of July 19th 1969, within a week of the first moon landing and a month prior to Woodstock. Broadcast by PBS as 'The Sounds Of Summer' that November, it captures Mitchell on the cusp of becoming one of the biggest stars in the emerging singer-songwriter movement. Including early classics such as 'Chelsea Morning' and 'The Circle Game', as well as lesser-known album tracks and the rare 'Cactus Tree', it culminates with Dino Valenti's anthemic 'Get Together', and is essential listening for her legion of fans. Includes background notes and rare images.
