Well I'm inexcusably late to this party but I listened and watched all of it today and as usual I am blown away by the sheer brilliance of this group of ultra-talented musicians. There are very few covers of Joni Mitchell's music that I can give much more than a nod to but the Mutts always knock it out of the park. The tightness of this group and the remarkable and inventive recreations of the arrangements from Joni's recordings is mind boggling. The Mutts always manage to sprinkle in their own special seasonings as well that make their performances so much more than just copies of the originals. Heart and soul permeate the whole, creating a perfect union of Joni Mitchell with Mutts of the Planet. It was so refreshing to see them take on 'Dog Eat Dog' as an encore. An overlooked piece of brilliance from an underrated Joni Mitchell album. Bravo!
I don't put many comments on live music, but this performance of Robin and her band is just fabulous. Being my favorite Joni Mitchell's album, because of the music and the fantastic lyrics, jut guys have made and impressive live version of this brilliant music. I'll help you placing the timestamp of every song: 0:10 In France They Kiss on Main Street 3:54 The Jungle Line 9:05 Edith the Kingpin 12:52 Don't Interrupt the Sorrow 17:29 Shades of Scarlett Conquering 22:49 The Hissing of Summer Lawns 27:03 The Boho Dance 31:35 Harry's House / Centerpiece 40:04 Sweet Bird 45:01 Shadows and Light Again thanks for the great job and sensibility. Encore: 50:18 Dog Eat Dog 55:11 Dreamland 1:04:03 Final Credits
There are a few albums (contemporary) that take melody and lyrics to another level. This and Aja are two examples. The musicianship on this is outstanding: a credit to Robin and her band.
Oh my goodness this is so beautifully arranged. The vocalists the band is superbly beautifully talented. I enjoy it. You taken me back to the time .memories of what it was like a young black child of Saginaw Mi that was hip to Joni from the AM Radio station up the street from where i lived. Now the Station owner Big Sam giving me Promotional copies of folk music on LP etc Albums and was turned on. Actually I'm a drummer and play along with her music . Fun fun fun fun. I love Joni Mitchell music. Back to this group. I'm proud of what you've done. Thanks!
Conratulations. What a band . What music. And what a Robin. I don't want to mention a special musician. Everybody are fantastic. I guess that Dave has been pretty much the motor. It must be a great satisfaction for everybody to be a part of Mutts of the Planet.
What I would like to see " Red Rocks present Robin Adler and Mutts of the Planet - Play Joni Mitchell " Believe me it would sell out, To Robin and the Mutts o t Planet thank you so much for recreating Joni Mitchell's music, I love Joni Mitchell's music you have made her proud. I'm to sentimental tears keep rolling down my cheeks.
Bravo!!! Very brave to take this on but you have done the album and yourselves proud indeed. There will always be those who decry such projects but I admire anyone who has the passion for good music and the skills to play it getting up there and doing it. It’s not Joni but it is people with love bringing those songs to life for an audience hungry to hear them .wonderful stuff
Harry's House is such an intricate piece of music that Joni never even did it live with a band, so I'm very impressed you pulled it off! Especially love the extra ad-libs.
Another of Dave Blackburn's live projects to meet the legacy of Joni Mitchell's music! Outstanding band, superb orchestration, great sound engineering and Robin Adler's loyal to the last note inspired performance! ...And my favorite Joni Mitchell album, the apogee of her musical craftsmanship, the Hissing of Summer Lawns. I wish I was there...
What more can we say...... Bravooooo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻to all musicians.... I like the way all album has been arranged, staying not too much close to the original version, but adding some personal flavours and touches that really are beautiful.
Wow the more I see it the more I enjoy it ! The feeling and spirit of your rendition is soooo perfect. Thank you for doing this, that's really beautiful ! I'd love to see a show, but I'm in France.
What a wonderful surprise! I've always loved this album, since I first heard it when I was 17. I wish I could have been there to experience such a great tribute to one of 20th centuries most amazing artists. Thank you!
Fantastic to hear Mutts of the Planet doing the whole album live, and so meticulously! I read that Mutts play Joni's exquisite music live because Joni is too old now to tour or perform live, so they do it to keep her music live and her name revered. Thank you so much Robin and the Mutts of the Planet for doing this. I an so grateful to you! You are a great bunch of Mutts! sttgaegoaktd
I think of what you said all too often, and it hurts my heart to realize that unlike the eternal sense, images and recordings can give us concerning our beloved artists, they too are mortal. And, it hurts deeply that such wonderful talent should be limited in time.
@@datatwo7405, I know. I agree. So many of the rock musicians and groups are old now, and their voices no longer what they were. They are mortal, but to those of us who love them they will always be our heroes. 😛cttgaegoaktd
You are all blessed with exceptionally warm talent. I Love this album and I love your performance. If this were available to buy, I'd buy. There's just something lovely and warm about your performance that makes it very special. Thank you.
Aplausos de pie! What a terrific performance. As a Joniphile I’m familiar with her music to every little detail. You guys did a great great job and gave it a special swing of your own. I would have loved to see it live. Bravo again!
The dark rock jazz version of jungle line is really original and cool! Very well done, please let me know if you come playing in London, would love to come to see your gig 😊
I was surprisingly impressed. Only critique is ditch the piano in Jungle Line. Put the mic in the stand and get more gutsy and more base with the vocals. The drum arrangements are very effective.
@@MuttsofthePlanet whose album specifically this one was inspired by black artist and traditional black art form of music "jazz". Talk about pandoras box.
Robin Alder you are so beautiful and remarkable. Keep doing Joni Mitchell music and i love to here you with your own songs. You're the best 👌 with love.
Just discovered this - not many musicians would even attempt to cover Joni's most complex & beautiful music. This is simply magnificient. Bravo!🙌
bless you for taking on The Jungle Line

Takes guts to tackle a Joni album like this one and do such an excellent job. Very nice.

Absolutely awesome! Everyone keeps the delicious tension of the original.
Terrific job. The young lady has a lovely voice.
I really really love this great band and she's well...just awesome.

What an amazing musical rendition. Fantastic!!!
Superb performance superbly recorded
I usually hate such covers. But not this. This was great!
Wow... these guys have every bit of feel & top notch chops playing her music.
Blown away.
And the singer pulls it off nicely too.
We were rolling, rolling, rockin rollin! Love this song!
Conratulations. What a band . What music. And what a Robin. I don't want to mention a special musician. Everybody are fantastic. I guess that Dave has been pretty much the motor. It must be a great satisfaction for everybody to be a part of Mutts of the Planet.
Really the best tribute to joni I've heard this far ! Congratulation !

The outro to 'Edith and the Kingpin' should always be played out for about three minutes, it's too beautiful to play it any less!
That is one of the best covers I've ever heard of Edith and the King Pin.
Check out Tina on Herbie Hancocks The Joni Letters.
Harry's House is such an intricate piece of music that Joni never even did it live with a band, so I'm very impressed you pulled it off! Especially love the extra ad-libs.
yes she did ..sorry
One of many of my favorite tracks on this album. Mutts and Robin did such an amazing job too. :)
Fantastic

This is difficult music made to look easy. Bravo.

@@stevenhaywood1195 I'm just curious: What means the last line of your comment?
Jungle Line! Love the fuzz bass. But no one dares the backups :)
Wonderful show, really well done.
Wow outstanding , every amazing minute is a joy to listen to.
Thank you for posting this--------Great job and most excellently done.
Wow - just wow!! I love Joni - and you all do her great justice!!!
Beautiful playing and singing!

You continue to amaze me! It's hard to imagine the amount of work that went into this. Great job - wish I could have been there to hear it live!
What an exceptional performance, this made my evening.. beautifully sung, and a terrific band.
Hey... Not Too Shabby! One of my favorite albums and still get lots of rotation here. This was enjoyable indeed.
Well done!!! i love Joni Mitchell .Best cover of her music I have ever heard and that is not easy to do. Thank You!
You are all blessed with exceptionally warm talent. I Love this album and I love your performance. If this were available to buy, I'd buy. There's just something lovely and warm about your performance that makes it very special. Thank you.
That's a very nice compliment, Pete. Thank you!

I feel so good when I listen to you, Thank you so much for sharing this !
I can't believe 4 people disliked this. You guys rock.
Great. I look forward to hear/see it all
Marvelous. I love the lightness of the interpretation
Wow!
That the Mutts have Max Bennett as part of the band, is epic...
It was just for one show but it was epic!
Best Regards from Germany!
Robin Adler is a living anger. My God what a voice.
Angel ? (you can edit your post)
The dark rock jazz version of jungle line is really original and cool! Very well done, please let me know if you come playing in London, would love to come to see your gig 😊
Amazing!
Beautiful. BV harmonies worthy of Madam Mitchell herself!
great rendition of a very special and true work of art in every aspect. wish I could have been there:)
Love it!
Saw you today at Sunnylands! Good show! 👍
I'm jealous. Robin and the Mutts are outstanding.
Good. Job!
WONDERFUL!
I was surprisingly impressed. Only critique is ditch the piano in Jungle Line. Put the mic in the stand and get more gutsy and more base with the vocals. The drum arrangements are very effective.
Awesome! i miss Jaco still....
Is there a sheet for edith and the kingpin?
Joni would be very proud.. just sayin'
this so ironic all black artists on the wall all white people on the stage. Truly the boho dance.
covering music by a white artist ironically commenting on white artists covering black music. Several layers of irony indeed.
@@MuttsofthePlanet whose album specifically this one was inspired by black artist and traditional black art form of music "jazz". Talk about pandoras box.
@@walking241 Y'know, maybe it's mutually enriching.
@@jeffblack5024 Naw. Nevertheless I enjoyed their performance.
Oh no, no, no.
Robin Alder you are so beautiful and remarkable. Keep doing Joni Mitchell music and i love to here you with your own songs. You're the best 👌 with love.
Oops Robin Adler.😅
