OK so it’s not exactly travel, but it felt like an adventure. Now that we’re retired, we can spontaneously decide to take in a concert or a show. Earlier this week, the screening at Southside Seaport of the Joni Mitchell 75th Birthday tribute concert in LA popped up on FB so we decided to go.
First of all it was at one of those new dinner movie theaters where you sit in a little pod that feels like business class on a plane and they take your order and bring your food and drinks to you (this one also had unlimited popcorn). Fun in itself. Then as we settled into our reclining chairs with pillows and blankets, the concert began.
What a show! Highlights included Rufus Wainwright, Emmy Lou Harris, James Taylor, Seal, Diana Krall, Chaka Khan. Some sang a version pretty close to the original they had loved. Otherspuntheir own spin on it (Chaka Khan doing Help Me was amazing). Here's a link to a review with the artists and play list. It seems like most of it is available on you tube, but if it shows again, highly recommended
