Jeez, where did you get this recording? I was at this concert, too. I was 18. During the break, a lot of us with seats further back moved up to the front of the theater and sat in the aisles near the stage. I actually sat on the arm of someone's seat. I can't even imagine trying that today. How rude!

Anyway, Joni sang Blue right after the break and was directly in front of me on stage, about twenty feet away, when she sang it. It's my most magical memory from any concert I've ever attended.

wow i am so jelous, i wish id been born years 25 years earlier :(

this song is not about heroin it is about the end of a relationship...

@VBJ3 That was Graham Nash's voice at the beginning of that other video (you can tell from the Manchester accent), but I think the song Blue was actually about James Taylor ("My Old Man" and "River" from the same album were probably about Nash). JM did have a brief affair with Stills while she was in the process of breaking up with Nash, but I don't think it inspired any songs--just a lot of regret and bad feeling (years passed before all members of CSN performed or recorded together again).

@VBJ3 its abaout her daugther taht she gave away at birth

She wrote some of the most bone marrow music back in the day. Now that I am old I can't even listen to it anymore. It's like opening a wound to see how it's healed .

I was in a Rock n' Roll band at the time this song came out & my band-mates thought I was gay/nuts or something as I played this album with tears in my eyes

in our hotel room on the road.

Joni as always trancended any label you could put on her music, she is a true ORIGINAL artist. This song is about her breakup with Graham Nash but applies

to anyone going through a painfull breakup, it's timeless & honest.

This is a terrible recording of this song, listen to the album track itself .

@ friendlier I couldn't agree more, Stephen stills states on here it was a break up with him: on the video Blue (documentary) on side bar

thanks

The self destruction done by someone that she dated, and the break up! This could very well have been about JT.

[friendlier]

@VBJ3 It's about the difficulty of being in a relationship with someone hell-bent on self destruction. In the song, she lists numerous paths to same.

Joni was the real deal. If you can't appreciate this amazing artist, then get off the bus!
