"Her performance includes nine songs - most from her first three albums and three that would later be released on 1971's Blue - with "A Case of You" that oddly wasn't filmed but is reproduced on audio over the closing credits. She plays guitar, piano and dulcimer and although not exactly a riveting presence, there is a confidence, drama and intensity here that holds your attention ... Both the video and audio have been restored. Additionally, there is the option of watching Mitchell's show without the interview segments and shots of other goings-on at the fest.It may not have been the finest 55 minutes of Joni Mitchell's still-fledgling career, but it was a historic one and having it commercially available is a dream come true for any folk music fan".

"Lerner's documentary is a fascinating historical document, not only because it captures one of the world's finest singer/songwriters at a pivotal point in her artistic evolution, but also because it pinpoints the time when all the last vestiges of equality between audience and performer were destroyed. (Joni, interviewed years later about the festival, describes her audience as something inhuman and animalistic - 'the beast'.)".
