Joni Mitchell - Coyote (Live at Gordon Lightfoot's Home with Bob Dylan & Roger McGuinn, 1975) karaoke version
A simple way into the karaoke version when you want the arrangement to stay familiar and the lead vocal to step aside.
About this version
Sometimes you do not need a big setup. You just need the song without the lead and a straight path into rehearsal.
Useful for
singing practice at home
Useful for
cover rehearsals
Useful for
working on phrasing before a full take
A simple way in
A cleaner backing track for singing, rehearsal, and covers when you want the song to stay familiar but the lead vocal to step aside.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

Watch the amazing documentary "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese" for more of this incredible and rare footage! I had the privilege of seeing "Rolling Thunder" in theaters, and it was an experience. I saw it at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, a historic theater from the 1920s. The sound system was terrible. It had two gigantic speakers in the front that made the sound bounce off every wall. At the same time, though, I couldn't think of a better venue. There were over a thousand people in the room, and you could feel every one of them. Some people yelled out, "Dylan!" enthusiastically, and they roared after each performance. After Joni played this number, the crowd was silent for a few moments, then, to my surprise, gave her the biggest applause I heard during the film (yes, even bigger than "Hard Rain" and "One More Cup of Coffee"). I listened to the studio version when I got home, but in my opinion, this performance is far superior, though it leaves out most of the lyrics. I hope you enjoy this gem as much as I did!
