No, but I have tapes of the PBS Series "Sessions at West 54th" of Phoebe Snow singing Poetry Man with Zapp Mamma, and Emmy Lou Harris performing with monster guitarist Daniel Lanois, who IIRC produced her Wrecking Ball album (and produces U2). *** BIG GRIN ***
"Big Grin",indeed! Ever seen the "songwriters special" on PBS that has Willie Nelson,Lyle Lovette,Emmy Lou,and Rodney Crowell (sp?)? Stuff like that is why you won't be hearing ME calling for PBS to be taken off the air! Crowell has a song with a title something like "I stopped loving her today" that is so deep-rooted in the country blues and so honest that it just tears your heart out and stomps on it. He made the comment that he wrote it after his divorce,and even thought all the people on the stage were his friends and had surely heard him do it before,his rendidition was so powerful they just sat stunned and silent for a moment when he ended. This reminded me of "Dandy Don" Meredith's description of Hank Williams Sr music as being "music to slash your wrists by".

I’ll go you one better there. I was in the studio audience for the Emmylou Harris/Daniel Lanois “Sessions at West 54th” show. (I was also in the West 54th audience for the David Byrne, Joe Jackson, Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson, Fiona Apple, and Rickie Lee Jones shows.)
That show was an all-time great, though short-lived.
