Free Man In Paris - Joni Mitchell (Drum Cover)

This video is a drum cover of Joni Mitchells outstanding tune "Free Man In Paris" from the Shadows and Light (Live) album. This is arguably the best band ever assembled and one of my favorite all time "live" albums. If you play this video through to its end, Joni introduces the band members. The only band members still living today are guitar legend Pat Metheny and Joni Mitchell.
Free Man In Paris is a song about music agent /promoter David Geffen, a close friend of Joni's, and describes Geffen during a trip the two made to Paris. I really like the arrangement of the song, Joni's vocals, which are always in-tune, and the outstanding drumming by Don Alias.
Leave feedback and comments.
Enjoy!
