Joni Mitchell - Shadows & Light Format:CD The Years of Decay (1989)Songwriting and musicianship vied for dominance on many of Joni's LPs especially this one, her second live album. Her jazz inflected '70s songs get the spotlight as she shares the stage with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Lyle Mays and Michael Brecker (now THAT is a band). This clocks in at over an hour and 12 minutes (it originally came out on 2 LPs): "In France They Kiss on Main Street," "Coyote," "Amelia," "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," "Free Man in Paris,"
