 This historical account of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Phil Ochs sharing the stage of Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum is an arousing time warp for the temporal lobe. The re-mastered collaborative features a slew of timeless songs and an invaluable testimony of the times, including Ochs' politically insightful narrative "I Ain't Marching Anymore," Taylor's unmistakable "Fire and Rain" and Mitchell and Taylor's duet of "Carey/Mr. Tambourine Man," embodying the hope and heartache of the '70s. This two-disc compilation is not only definite proof of the amp-shaking stamp these artists would leave on the music scene, but the concert itself—a protest against nuclear bomb testing in Amchitka—also propelled the birth of Greenpeace a year later
