Download Joni Mitchell videos here:
To start with, you'll need a player that supports the DIVx codec to play these. I suggest VLC. It's free, open source, and runs on most every platform there is. http://www.videolan.org/vlc. You can also use Quicktime, Real or Windows Media Player, with the proper codec installed.
First up is a tribute to Joni which was broadcast in April, 2003 on TNT. It was recorded at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC and features hostess Ashley Judd, Elton John, k.d. Lang, Shawn Colvin, Diana Krall, Chaka Khan, Wynonna Judd, Richard Thompson, Bryan Adams, Cassandra Wilson, Bryan Adams, Cyndi Lauper and James Taylor. It's a really good tribute, with a wide range of material from the early days all the way through. Joni comes out at the end and sings a few songs.

"I'm porous with travel fever, but you know I'm so glad to be on my own. Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger can set up trembling in my bones. I know, no one's gonna show me everything, we all come and go alone. Each so deep and superficial, between the forceps and the stone."
--Joni Mitchell, "Hejira", 1976
