Joni Mitchell was using some bizarre tunings, chords, and progressions for the time, and every guitar slinger of the time noticed it (including yours truly).And she played Martin guitars for the most part. I loved the full, rich sound (partly due to the open tunings she used). It was the early 70s, and I was in love with her guitar playing. I couldn't afford a D-28, so I bought a D-18.

For not liking Bob, she didn’t mind touring with him and Van Morrison back in the 1990s. She came on After Van’s set, but I didn’t hear any of her songs. I was in the beer tent the whole time.

Well if Jimmy Page was impressed - I don’t want to get into the “who’s greatest” argument here - but let’s just say that he knows his stuff :)

Did she do Court and Spark? Yes, she did.

Well Robert Plant must’ve liked Janis, because on the early Zep records he basically did a male imitation of her.

I went to the show in San Jose,CA.
Both Van and Bob were great....Joni was horrible!
I couldn't listen to her drivel and hit the bar as well, unfortunately, the music was piped in there and I tried to drown it out.

And Janis was imitating Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton and many others. Which gets back to my point of that everybody is basically imitating everyone else. Sometimes it’s unconscious, sometimes not, but it’s always there.

"Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980. Madonna is like Nero; she marks the turning point." Then give back to America all the money that we spent on your records.

And she played Martin guitars for the most part. I loved the full, rich sound (partly due to the open tunings she used). Yep. In those days, the Martin was the last word in acoustic guitars.
Like you, I could never afford one, but I had a friend who owned one, and I used to end up writing new songs every time I played it, the tone inspired me so much.
Martins are still my favorite acoustics to this day.

It really is sad watching these aging hippies trying to remain relevant.

Old Rock Star Whine....Even worse, Old FOLK Star Whine. Folk artists from the 60's believed they were the arbiters of what was just and right in the world. I guess she's mad at Bob Dylan, because he says he wasn't into the 'change the world' mentality of the folks artists of the time, even though they co-opted his music for their own use.

Not much sympathy here. Joni is as fake as Dylan in the name department, as promiscuous as Janis and Grace in their day. She’s still an earnest “save-the-planet” moonbat. At least Dylan grew up.
