Classic Joni concerts and home-movies
Refuge of the Roads is a Joni Mitchell concert. Ms. Mitchell serves as singer, songwriter, guitar player, piano player, as well as the director of this film. An interesting combination of home movies/on the road documentary footage and concert footage. The actual songs have a very 1980's rock sound to them and feature other players as well as Joni Mitchell. This concert does not feature Joni as much as a folk musician as it does a rock/hard rock 80's singer. The DVD does include a nice selection of still photos set to music from the film. The movie also includes clips from Koyaanisqatsi which fit in nicely with the music. Overall, the film is not bad. It shows another side of Joni Mitchell as she changes from 1960's folk music to 1980's rock. The songs she plays are classics, just done differently. Should be seen by Joni Mitchell fans although not one of her best performances.
