Miles of Aisles is a 1974 double live album by Joni Mitchell backed by the L.A. Express, recorded on the Court and Spark tour. The release became famous for the quality of the performances and some of Mitchell's onstage banter, particularly the "Van Gogh" speech before going into "The Circle Game". Four years after "Big Yellow Taxi" stalled at #67 on the charts in its original studio version, the live version heard on Miles of Aisles was released as a single and reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, becoming Mitchell's third top 40 hit and continuing her commercial hot streak at the time. Miles of Aisles would reach a peak of #2 on the charts and became one of her biggest-selling records.
