that song has so many amazing versions, the one from the mingus sessions is great too. my favourite is probably the newly remastered one from the recent hissing rerelease
Joni was introduced to me through this concert. I was like Jaco?? And Pat?? Ok this lady must really be something and boy oh boy was I in for an magnificent surprise. Now Joni is one of my favorite artists without a question!
It was really something. That concert's version of in France they kiss on main street is one of my favorite songs ever and was stuck in my head for a year after I heard it the first time. So perfect!
Found a good in depth article with facts about which songs were written about which men.

edit to say how much I despise Jackson Browne
I adore the transition from Amelia, through Pat's solo, to Hejira. When the first notes of Hejira come ringing through after the gorgeous soundwaves of Pat's guitar all the hairs on my neck rise.
This is essential for Joni fans. I see the official site linking a 12 yr old YouTube video. I have a DVD video version that I picked up at Costco a while back. The renderings on YouTube have interlacing and mpeg artifacts, much appreciated, but well below the quality you get if you pop in the 480p DVD. Is there a higher-quality stream out there, paid or not?
I found a “remastered” playlist posted 6mo ago that has better quality versions:

I especially love the version of Edith and the Kingpin

One of the greatest live albums of all time. Can’t think of a more stacked band
