Review in the National Post:
It’s a wonderful CD, totally of its time yet timeless. Joni Mitchell is in top form, blending the rock and roll standard Bonie Maronie into Big Yellow Taxi. Phil Ochs is full of fire on his protest anthem I Ain’t Marching Anymore. Unannounced guest James Taylor does a heartfelt version of Fire and Rain.
One of the highlights of the CD is the introduction by the late Irving Stowe, one of the founders of Greenpeace.
“Brothers and sisters in green peace,” he announces. “Green peace is beautiful! And you are beautiful, because you are here tonight! You came here because you are not on a death trip! You believe in life, you believe in peace, and you want them now!”
It’s tres 60s, simultaneously kind of hilarious but quite moving — a 55-year-old lawyer and Ban The Bomb activist announcing the birth of the environmental movement.
