Review (BigOZine) : When it comes to Joni Mitchell albums, most fans would include 1971's Blue as among her best. Here is a Rolling Stone review: With Blue, Mitchell's lyrical outlook became much more entwined with her own emotions, quickly establishing her as the most significant of the confessional singer/songwriters. Her delicate but ever-adventurous vocals, bolstered by the album's quiet but assured instrumentation, left the songs to speak for themselves. The giddy hopefulness of All I Want, the bittersweet regret of Last Time I Saw Richard and the sheer romantic wisdom of the title tune spoke eloquently. This show has been widely shared among fans and, along the way, someone added these notes: This soundboard show features Joni alone (until the final track) in NYC at the Carnegie. The performance is nearly exactly midway between "Blue" (June '71) and "For The Roses" (November '72) and features Joni playing mostly songs from those two LPs, plus a few of the obligatory back catalog stuff. The "For The Roses" songs are really great to hear, in raw, solo versions nine months before their actual album release. Joni is her typical effervescent early '70s self, with quite a bit of fun audience interaction. She's clearly happy to be there. On the last song, she is joined by Graham Nash and Stephen Stills.

Note : This concert is officialy released in 2023 on "Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975)" in excellent soundboard quality.
