People's Parties, The Same Situation (2:17), and Help Me (5:00) are performed by Joni Mitchell on April 22, 1974. Musicians at the concert (Court and Spark album) is Joni Mitchell - Guitar, Piano, Tom Scott - Woodwinds & Reeds, Roger Kellaway - Piano (Joe Sample), Robben Ford - Electric Guitar (Larry Carlton), Max Bennett - Bass, and John Guerin - Drums at New Victoria Theatre in London, England.

From her acclaimed sixth studio album, Court and Spark was an immediate commercial and critical success—and remains her most successful album. Released in January 1974, Court and Spark has been described as pop, but also infuses Mitchell's folk-rock style, which she had developed through her previous five albums, with jazz inflections.

Court and Spark reached No. 2 in the United States and No. 1 in Canada and eventually received a double-platinum certification by the RIAA, the highest of Mitchell's career. The album also reached the Top 20 in the UK (remastered audio-synced performance video is from Live In London 1974). Rolling Stone listed Court and Spark at No. 111 in the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Source: Wikipedia
