JONI MITCHELL
Sydney 1983 [Goody Speed/Pitch-adjusted Remaster, 2CD]
Live at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia; March 23, 1983. Very good FM broadcast.
Thanks to Goody for sharing the show at Dime.

Goody noted:
Many thanks to all those involved - from the original notes:
The original concert was recorded for Australian television. I have been told it was a test stereo telecast (regular stereo TV did not start in Australia until the following year). Apparently it was not simulcast on FM stations which probably explains its rarity. The audio was taken from a German made Nordmende VCR, which was the only commercially available VCR in Australia at the time that would receive stereo. These were not hi-fi VCRs so the audio was passed through to a reel-to-reel recorder.
