5.0 out of 5 starsWas Skeptical About This At First...
By Larry Gentry on February 18, 2009
Verified Purchase
...but it's a beautiful work of art. I don't know much about dance or ballet but by the last couple of songs, I was moved to tears--joyful tears, actually. The dancers' performances brought something new to the songs and the messages they contain as a collection. I think people who are visually-oriented will enjoy it in a different way than a longtime Joni fan. Either way, it's simple, stunning, and moving.

5.0 out of 5 starsStunning view to where we are going
By Bill Kelly on February 12, 2009
Verified Purchase
Every moment of this awesome performance and the DVD extras is quite simply stunning. Joni's songs here get new life of interpretation, esp. some of her (less well known children :-) more recent gestalt meaning layers such as in The Beat of Black Wings and Passion Play(When All The Slaves Are Free). Her understanding how the earth and religion interact is a completely strong line in her work that is more clear in this performance. The newer songs at the end of the performance (If I had a Heart, If and the excellent new Big Yellow Taxi) provide great lift and renewal. Plus the cyclops video DVD extra (Joni's music and her recent art work only) is compelling. Seeing that Joni herself was so intimate with forming the dancers interpretations and synchronizing the art only adds to the wonder of this collection. Get this now and be aware .... you may soon find yourself on the road to see this timely performance live. Joni's themes are where we are going now.

5.0 out of 5 starsBlown Away!
By John E. Temple on April 24, 2009
I have been curious about this production ever since I purchased Joni's wonderful CD "Shine" in Fall of 2007. I've read a lot about it since then, but I was pretty much resigned to the fact that I would never be afforded the opportunity to see it. When I saw that it was available on DVD, I was thrilled!

Having just watched it for the first (and second) time, I am happy to report that it was $20 very well spent. It hits on all cylinders. The song selection includes some of Joni's very best, the choreography is inspired, the dancers exude passion and athleticism... but most of all passion, the lighting is spot on, and the director of photography captured the performance in a way that gave me goose-bumps.

I'm a huge fan of Joni's, but I think anyone with any modicum of appreciation for the arts will come away from this experience with an admiration for the talent that has gone into, and the amazing results that come out of, this.

Hard pressed to choose a favorite number, but "The Three Great Stimulants" has to be one of the best (finally... a track from "Dog Eat Dog" stands out!), along with "Passion Play" and "The Beat of Black Wings"... both amazing songs and interpreted wonderfully. "If" is just joyous... as though the after-party and reward for a night of hard work by the dancers as well as a message that it does not have to be gloom and doom and it is not to late for us to make a difference, change our ways and save our planet.

The encore of "Big Yellow Taxi" (while not my favorite song) is a great bonus and a great finish to the DVD. It was all over way too quickly, but this is a singularly superb performance by everyone involved. My hat is off (well, actually, I hate wearing hats, so it's always off, but you know what I mean) to Joni and Jean for their amazing collaboration, and to the wonderful dancers who brought their concept to life.

Buy this, enjoy it, and share it with your friends!

Joni's collaboration with the Alberta Ballet was incredible. I have waited almost two years to see this ballet and am extatic about it finally coming to DVD. It was intense, thrilling, and beautifully done. If I ever have the opportunity to see it live, I will definately be there.

5.0 out of 5 stars60's overflow into today
By Charles W. Spurlock on March 31, 2009

It's nice to see artists from the sixties still creating art that is still hip by today's standards. Put it on and space-out. Watch it or listen to it....either way it's entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 starsA fitting crown to a lifetime of musical and artistic ecstasy!
By dutchw48 on August 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
After a long and fruitful career, the amazing Joni Mitchell, at age 70, considers this ballet to be her crowning achievement! Joni is loathe to listen to her own work. She is her own worst critic! Thus, this endorsement from the artist speaks worlds! Bravo Joni! This is a fitting crown to a lifetime of musical and artistic ecstasy!

Joni's art is a timeless ballet. A celebration of life with all of its joys, sorrows and mundane every days that we miss when they're gone. This is an enlightening performance of the artist work translated into dance from a woman of heart and mind.

I would recommend to everyone. Simply excellent.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must see for anyone who loves Joni Mitchell music and dance

As my dancer daughter tells me, such a challenge to take on iconic music like this and interpret sensitively. I absolutely loved it and will watch it again and again.

2.0 out of 5 starsUnfortunately, quite boring.

The choreography is very dull, anxiety is obvious in some dancers, and the overall result is not good at all. The only good thing that I found in this DVD is Joni's music. Read more
