Joan smuggled Vaclav Havel (a banned and sought dissident at the time) into her concert in Prague in 1989 by having him pose as a roadie and carry her guitar - I imagine this is in acknowledgment of that. He credited her appearance as providing the one last drop in a full glass that broke the surface tension and helped set the Velvet Revolution into motion.

Lovely video! When did this take place? Can you get a translation of Havel's remarks? I can only catch a few words here and there.
I love the bit at the end where he takes her guitar and carries it...
