Joni Mitchell - BBC In Concert 9th Sept. 1970 DVD

Here's the story about this DVD. Around a year ago someone at dimeadozen posted a new (gorgeous) transfer of Joni's performance at the BBC In Concert taken from a digital broadcast. Sadly, like most of these digital broadcasts, the sound is compressed in AC3, which is lossy. Around the same time someone posted an audio source taken from a different (probably radio) broadcast. And, to make it even more interesting, someone uploaded the video of a song that wasn't originally broadcasted from an analog source.

My first try was to mix the analog audio source with the video, but it was an absolute disaster :-( . But, at least, I tried to put it all in the same disc instead of three. And this is what you get. I authored a DVD with the digital concert, the extra song and, as a bonus, the whole concert in lossless pcm with a slide show with random captures of the concert.
And I must say, it turned out quite nice. If you're a Joni fan, you must get this. And if you only want to have one or two boots from her, this is one of them.
