People not realizing she just a few months ago first picked the guitar back up to even attempt to remember this! After an aneurysm where she had to relearn how to walk, talk etc….a miracle!

[johngontero]

What a gift Carlisle and others gave to Joni that day…and what a gift Joni be to us that day and for nearly 60 years. thank you Joni

I can't with this....I've been watching these videos for the last 24 hours now....still crying.

[bernlin]

Truly a miracle...it's unbelievable to hear that guitar tone again, but to hear it from JONI? Just shocking, this woman is an absolute trailblazer for singer-songwriters everywhere.

[glennl]

Watching this is like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter's night.

Mother Earth is blessed to have you on it dear Joni! You still rock, Woman 💝🥰

Unbelievable is right. I wasn't expecting her to perform instrumentally. Damn what a comeback.

[larrymeeks]

When I was a 16 we lived next door to Joni. My favorite of her songs was "Playing his music for free".She got me into the harmonies and the chords .

Can i be left in a room with the people who down voted this for like 10 mins...? I'll sort them out... Just make sure the cameras are off haha... Joni is a legend and as someone who also had to relearn guitar, for me it was after having electro-shock therapy many years ago, i can empathise deeply - this took lots of determination and effort...Any one who thumbs that down is a mug...

The greatest singer-songwriter of all time…While Father Time always wins, Joni is pulling off a bit of a miracle here, regardless of the shakey start of the tune…it makes me happy just to see her out there on stage again…

[ivanas]

She is just enjoying life and music, seems completely free and no pressure... Regardless, she rocked it! Lovely to see how everyone was so into it and so overjoyed she did great in crossing another barrier.

Still will not part with my 1969 'Clouds' LP. Joni has been my mentor, my friend and my therapist through her music for 54 years. Bless her and keep her close to your heart. Thank you, Joni!

[garnetnewton-wade]

I love this woman to bits, in my view the greatest songwriter of our time and she was really a painter.

[meadowqueen]

My gawd, this has given me such JOY and INSPIRATION! It's been 6 months since I experienced a traumatic injury and watching/hearing Joni has given me such HOPE. Over the past several days I've listened to many of these clips and I am astonished by Joni's gorgeous now full deep vocal register, phrasing, and this standing guitar performance blew me away! I'm hoping Newport will share the entire Joni Jam concert with us.

[DougHanchard]

This will be a riff that I'll never ever ever ever forget .

[lorrieleaver]

Wept and wept as I watched @JoniMitchell perform her music. I just adore her and never expected to hear her live on stage. Thank you so much for making this happen. Sending you lots of love to all ♥️👏👏💫

[LeahInAnotherLife]

When even the people up there on stage with her have their phones out to record her, you know you are witnessing history.

[fernandodelrio]

True emotion. Crying. Music. Guitar. Pure art. Joni is back… God bless you Joni and thank you very much for this unforgetable moment…

[jeanniecossey]

Her music is healing my complex PTSD from childhood abuse. ❤ I love ALL of it then & now!

[mmmardi]

Brings tears to my eyes...what a miracle on so many levels. She has had her shit yet she bounces back...love Joni
