Almost exactly 40 years ago--January 10th, 1968, to be exact--rising star Joni Mitchell was recorded live (from the soundboard, it seems like) at Club 47 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

She had just been signed to the Reprise record label and her first album wasn't due to be released for several months. She performs several songs from that album, plus "Chelsea Morning" and "Both Sides Now", plus a number of songs she never officially recorded or released later.

The sound quality isn't perfect and there are a few glitches from the original reel-to-reel recording, but it's a wonderful performance by a young artist (who still refers to herself as Roberta at one point) just at the blossoming of her career.

The nearly hour-long performance will be aired this Monday, Feb. 4th, at around 10:30 PM.
