Joni Mitchell | Coyote | Live at the Santa Barbara Bowl | 9th September 1979
Coyote is the opening track from Joni’s 1976 album Hejira. The Santa Barbara Bowl show, where this version was recorded, was part of the tour for the album Mingus. For that tour, Joni had assembled a lineup of great contemporary jazz musicians. Jaco Pastorius had played on Joni’s albums since Hejira; his distinctive fretless bass dominating the sound of that album. Percussionist Don Alias had played on Mingus, and the preceding album, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter. And Pat Metheny seems to have been brought in for the tour only. Not performing on this track, but also in the band were Michael Brecker on sax, and Lyle Mays on keyboards.

This version of Coyote is one of my favorite Joni moments. The way Joni and the band enjoy playing together is exhilarating. I just wish the groove they hit at the end would keep on going.
The Shadows and Light film is a mixed bag for me. Apparently it was Joni’s idea to cut in the non-concert footage. Personally I’d rather just see the show.
I couldn’t find any video of this performance online that even approaches HD. So here’s a transfer from the Shadows and Light DVD. The picture quality on the DVD isn’t really HD and it doesn’t seem have been remastered or upgraded from the original laser disc release. Likewise the sound on the DVD isn’t that great. At least I could improve on that - I’ve dubbed on the great quality audio of the same performance from the Shadows and Light CD.
Hope you dig it!
