(not) sitting in a park in Paris, France ... California, here I come

You might well have thought that I'd spend another day in Paris - but since I'd had tickets for tonight's Joni Mitchell concert since ten minutes after they went on sale, for once, no.  It was utterly amazing.

Compèred (and master-minded) by Brandi Carlisle;

with guests - Annie Lennox,

and look - Elton John and Meryl Streep - not bad for backing singers -

and a great audience, loving it: this, of course, is accompanying "Shine."  (Remember when people used to bring lighters to wave at concerts?  ah, cell phones ... You could see Meryl Streep waving hers, too ...)
