A Must Have! January 7, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I first heard Joni Mitchell's music when I was 16, and my admiration for her talent has never wandered away. I suspect most fans would admit, even unconsciously, that her art is an integral part of our lives. This dual edition is wonderful -- to actually hear her speak at some length and view chunks of her personal history. I have waited many years for this. It is like finally meeting a life-long pen pal in the flesh, and discovering you appreciate them more than before. The display of her paintings, combined with her music, convinced me she is channeling little chunks of Van Gogh, Beethoven, and all the inquisitive and brilliant hearts that have ever roamed the earth. If you are a fan, you should get this. If you aren't one yet -- you should get it and become one.

I love hearing about other peoples lives, and being a Joni Mitchell fan, I really enjoyed this DVD. She did so much more than I ever knew about. She really has experimented with different types of music, and ending up with more of a jazz sound rather than a folk song type of music. She really has grown as a musician. Kudos to the DVD. Really enjoyed it!

I am not a music snob, or a purist--Madonna is my favorite artist! That said--if you love Joni Mitchell, or just love music, this set of dvd's will be a must-have for your collection...anyone who knows Joni's music well will know that her words when speaking about her music make it all the more profound. Joni is an artiste in every sense of the word. I have no higher respect for anyone in music.
She was a painter before she was a songwriter and performer, and her works in all of these fields are something to behold. I was emotionally moved to tears (not an easy feat for me) by some of what she described about her artistic process and its connection to events in her life. The way in which she connects the dots between her works and her experience made the performances resonate in a way that is indescribable, much the same way that "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" did for me. If you're only going to buy one of these, buy "Woman Of Heart and Mind"--it gives the best overview of Joni's music career with clips from performances of music from various stages of her career. "Painting With Words and Music" would be for those more interested in her artwork, and a look at performances from one particular night. Either way, you can't go wrong.
2 great DVDs!, but be aware... August 24, 2005

that they have both been issued separately, so avid Joni-watchers may inadvertently re-buy thinking this is new stuff. If they are new to you though, you will not be disappointed. The PBS special fills in a lot of history for those of us who weren't in the music scene in the late 60s and the soundstage concert is filled with great music and many special moments. Enjoy!

This release pairs the long awaited Joni Mitchell biography from PBS American Masters "Woman of Heart And Mind" (2003) with the 1998 soundstage concert video "Painting With Words and Music". Both are excellent, and a must have for lovers of Joni's music.
