Jaco Pastorius, universally considered one of the greatest bass players of all-time, was Joni Mitchell's musical director on the Shadows and Light Tour. His bass solo contains an excerpt of "Third Stone From the Sun" by Jimi Hendrix. Jaco was battling cocaine and alcohol addiction during the tour and soon lost his MD position due to his penchant for showing up late/sometimes not at all for rehearsals. Jaco suffered from mental illness and was murdered in 1987 by bouncer Luc Havan outside of the Midnight Bottle Club in Florida. He had multiple facial fractures, damage to his left arm and lost his right eye. Havan served 4 months in prison.
