Brilliant! , i had only ever heard the Nazareth version, i knew it was a cover but i did not know it was written by Joni Mitchell, what an amazing songwriter!
Every time after Nazareth recoded it she would intro it by saying her's a Nazareth song. So she like Nazareth's also I am sure the money help a little.
Thanks for uploading this! I've listened to Nazareth rock this out for 30+ years and had no clue it was a Joni song. I dig both versions and it makes me respect her music even more. Thanks again.
Nazareth took this song and made it rockier, heavier. This song is much more folkey. Both are equally great sings: there is no point in arguing which one is better because they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Just listen to the music and appreciate it is one of life's joys.
You got the touch so gentle and sweet, but you got that look so critical now. Cant talk to ya baby I get so weak, sometimes I think love is just mythical...
No point in arguing about which version is better. Joni herself consider the Nazareth version the best version, she actually considers it THEIR song. If the woman who wrote the song can be this generous with her work then I think everyone else should just shut up and enjoy whatever version you prefer.
This is good, but I think everyone is doing themselves a disservice by not at least giving the acoustic version by Nazareth a listen. It marries the sincerity and feeling of Joni's version with the undeniable energy of Nazareth and McCafferty's infectious voice. Add on top of that the acoustic Nazareth version's vocals intertwine with the instrumentals much better than this version and feel more natural than the Nazareth studio version.
when Joni Mitchell heard the Naz-Cover of her song the first time, she coudnt believe it was a real rocksong. She was very happy about the success (she got fat cheques) and said: from now on, ThFlTo is a Naz Song . . .
And yes, Naz liked her song as she did it, cause they heard all kinds of good music. And when Nazareth picked up a song to perform it, they always transformed it into someting that really rocks :-)
I grew up on Nazz's version,but I've always got respect fer Joni,some of her stuff ain't my cup o'tea but there ya go!A good song made better and taken to a different point of view,Both versions stand, Period!
When Nazaeth toured around in their van going from concert to concert they would make tapes of LP's, individually, they would record their favorite artists so they would have music to listen to. This Flight Tonight kept showing up on everybody's tapes so McCafferty worked on the song for about an hour to decide on how to do it and they did it.
convey the band's respect for the original song at the same time.
Joel McIver 2009
Joni Mitchell thought the version of this flight tonight was wonderful and even today she calls it a Nazareth song. Same song with two different approaches made this song enjoyable to many.
The success of This Flight Tonight is easy to understand in retrospect. Released as a single in the USA, the song made a huge impact on radio, with its lyric concerning an aeroplane taking off completely redefined by McCafferty's soaring, throaty vocal. Where Mitchell's delicate, fractured original spoke of the distance between two souls in terms of the necessary flight between them, Nazareth's version refocused on the plane as an unstoppable power, an avatar of rock 'n' roll, and managed to
In later years, Joni Mitchell revealed a great affection for Nazareth's cover of This Flight Tonight, says the bass player [Pete Agnew]. "Joni Mitchell thought that our version of This Flight Tonight was wonderful! Even today she calls it a Nazareth song... she came over to do a tour and was plaing in London, and she said 'I'd like to begin with a Nazareth song!' - notes from Loud 'n' Proud reissue.
I never had heard of either Nazareth or their version of this song until I saw this discussion. So I listened to Nazareth - sorry, but it seemed like a bad joke. Somehow they made it sound leering and cliched - so ridiculous.
But the idea of a rock treatment is interesting and I like the fact that they were inspired by her originality enough to cover it.
I didn't realize how close the Nazareth cover was to the original (something I've never bothered to listen to until now. I've always said, the cover doesn't exist without the original score (another) one for originality.
Love both classic versions of this song. I love Joni Mitchell and I love Nazareth. Joni is one of my favorite songwriters though. Lyrically and musically she is a genius. I don't think there is a current pop artist that compares. She just knows how to dig the meat out of your feelings and lay them on the table for you to examine.
"Ah! That's exactly what I was feeling but I could never express it the way Joni does."
@millvalleyrn One of my fav Joni songs. Blue tears your heart out. But, only if you have been there. In my case, I know exactly where she's coming from.
Nazareth made this song a bit more groovy. There's no point in arguing though because fans of either version are always going to like theirs better. Joni fans like this because it's the original and Nazareth fans like that one better because they made it into a rock song. It's like trying to convince a Christian that God doesn't exist, you just can't do it, they won't listen.
@tojugula that doesn't prove my staement wrong. it only tells me that you prefer the Joni version better. it has nothing to do with which one you heard first. it matters who you're more a fan of.
@Shun101010 It was not my intention to criticize your statement, Sorry! I simply don't understand why so many make out of the music a kind of "religion"?! And clear, both side.. instead to enjoy and to love the music. Sorry for my english, regards. :).
@nightowl8936 you sound like areal first class hater. I prefer joni's version because she wrote it and it was delivered in the vocal phrasing she used at that time. i was generally hooked into her music, its lyrical richness. You don't know much about the human vocal range if you find the voice whispy and reedy. The narrative comes over crystal clear, to me at least, maybe you were just looking to pick fault. Find me another Nazareth song with the same lyric richness. She is first a poet
@nightowl8936 stop trying to take away what this great artist created as if she's some kind of thief. It's hers. What Nazareth did was great, I'm sure they'd be appalled by what you've written about her. On meeting her even Stevie Nicks was in awe, jimmy page was in love with her, Nazareth recorded her song because its good....and who are you? How many folks have covered Nazareth songs? How many covered Joni's? Not a bad legacy for a braying donkey (sexist allusion to her prominent teeth?)
@nightowl8936 plus, Bob Dylan wrote tangled up in Blue after spending a whole week listening to the album this song came off. That's a far bigger tribute than Nazareth could pay. It's an original song for a start.
@tojugula I agree. I was familiar with the Nazareth version, which I thought was great but I'd never heard Joni's original before. I need to go and find 'Blue' now, though.
@Shun101010 I disagree, at least with my own preference. When ever I listen to Joni's version afterward I always have the urge to listen to Nazereth's, then her's again, and etc. I believe that I like each almost equally, but I think Joni's wins for both being the original and for just being a lot more interesting to listen to. I just all around love this song, and; I don't know, maybe others feel the same way that I do.
@deathfalk you're making generalizations. I'll listen for sure. I won't accept it until you can make a valid argument though. So far, I have never heard a valid argument from a theist. Plus, just reading the bible should make you an atheist. It condones slavery, rape, and genocide. I was born with common sense and I use it. My morality comes from myself and not from a deity. If you think the things I mentioned are bad then you have better moral judgment than God. You have to take or leave it all
@Shun101010 I'm not going to argue. We'll find out when we die. I just wrote a sentence to your answer and it looks like I touched a nerve by the length of your reply, like you just couldn't wait to find someone to argue with. If I was an atheist I wouldn't be wasting time arguing if I believed this was the only chance at life I got. I'm going to block you because this argument would be like two rats in a sealed cage, arguing about what was outside. Believe what you want, you'll find eventually.
@deathfalk The length of my comment does not represent the feelings you may or may not have brought out of me. I just felt that I needed to thoroughly explain myself and my position on the topic.
All you peeps arguing over wether this or the Nazareth version is best are narrow minded blinkered fools ... they're both great versions of a classic song , which one I prefer at any given time depends on my mood
Nazareth's version isn't better. Not a competition. For some folks the Joni version works, others prefer Nazareth's arrangement of it. It's interesting that while Joni can completly own her hers Nazareth can only own part of theirs since the basic chords, melody, lyrics were all created by Joni Mitchell. Some folks like one, some the other, some are blessed and like both. One thing I never understand. If someone dislikes something why they have to destroy anothers enjoyment?
This is fucking horrible!! NAZARETH put this song on the map for rock n' roll. I wouldn't piss on Joni Mitchell's gums if her teeth were on fire! It takes a special person to like Joni Mitchell..a very special person,like, special in head!!! HAHAHAHAHA
@emeralddragon78 Without Joni Mitchell Nazareth wouldn't have had a song to record. It's not that I really mind the Eurovison meets rock n roll way they recorded the song, it's quite catch, the way ABBA are, they did some good stuff. Mcaffrey has a great voice, Charlton great guitarist. What's the point of knocking the Joni Mitchell version? It was the way she wrote it, Nazareth admired and paid tribute too. Sorry if you want us all to share your wet pants Nazareth trip but very immature
@Unabomber2 add to that, "in my opinion" it becomes a perfectly true statement. If, however, you presume to speak for me then it's incorrect :) I'm assuming of course that you are socially adjusted and allow for the fact that others have tastes/ preferences, etc, which don't always coincide with our own and they are perfectly free to hold these as we are. The existence of these two versions is good because either brings to its audience the great lyrical craft of Joni Mitchell.
@GenZod21 Before I say anything I'd just like to point out that I like Joni's version only a little better. I'd just like to say that they are each the same song, just with different styles, so to say that Joni's version completelly demolishes Nazareth's version and that Nazareth's is not genious because of it; is a somewhat misconstrued idea. I could understand if you had said that you liked the Folk sound of Joni's better than the Rock sound of Nazareth, but not comparing a song to itself.

Could any of you who prefer the Joni Mitchell version tell me exactly WHY you prefer it?
I find her voice wispy and reedy and the way she runs the lyrics together in big bunches making the narrative all but unintelligible.
The guitar rambles on and on with and endless monologue braying donkey-like upon a few chords over and over.
So if there any of you Joni Mitchell fans whose minds can do more than twitch in awe, speak up and explain it to me so I might be convinced.
