Joni Mitchell recorded from the audience; overall a fine result for its era. Vocals are clear with virtually no audience interference but the sound is somewhat distant. There is a big break at approximately the one hour mark, leading to the conclusion that the master was made on 60-minute reels and the recordist, not surprisingly, had difficulty getting the second one started or the tape flipped.

Faults: See above, and many track transitions are abrupt, likely because the recording was paused during the trailing applause, then restarted.
