It's like the sun finally came out again. For so long, Joni said she's done with the music business, and singing, and just wants to paint now. She's not only singing again, but you can see she's really enjoying herself doing so. God bless you, Joni. Life is so much better for you and your music.

Brandi Carlisle is so kind and compassionate. Thank you for orchestrating this opportunity for Joni to see how beloved she is and for her new and old fans to get to celebrate with her. Much love!

She hit the highest of high notes early in her career and now she’s hitting the lowest of low notes….phenomenal.

I can't get enough of the Joni Jam. I keep rewatching. Keep crying. I am so incredibly lifted from her performance -- THIS is the juice we ALL needed right now. Thank Goddess for JONI!!! (and Brandi, we know she made it all happen -- she's our hometown gal!)

[DirtyOldBoston]

She sang the lower harmony. That's a feat in itself!

"Don't it always seems to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone." A great lesson from Joni.

The last three seconds of this song was worth waiting 53 years for. Bless you, Joni Mitchell ☮️💜

An arm and a leg to see em….. love the rewrite

[annameehan]

I like how Joni changed up the lyrics to be “The took all the trees & put em in a tree Museum & they charged all the people an arm & a leg just to see ‘em”.

[dianag]

This was the music of my youth..those college hippie years... and it is so wonderful to hear her again, and the longevity of these lyrics and tunes...amazing..I am in tears

[jill]

It's beautiful gift to see someone honored while in their presence.

THANK YOU BRANDI for introducing youngsters to this Legend, this Icon of the 60s!!!! 💕🕊️🌄
LOVE YOU

[PecanPie]

Every word came true in 50 years in the song. People have to travel 2 hours out of City to see nature.

[emmgeevideo]

I love the old voices and the young voices (and in between voices) singing together with joy.

[glenndespres]

This woman is incredible. Joni, i hope you are feeling the love. There is so much, and it surrounds you.

[janetclaireSays]

This is the best thing that has happened in the past couple of years! ❤

[richardmathews]

One the greatest songwriters of all time a genius always somewhat overshadowed by her male contemporaries unfairly I might add. This is great stuff!

[boblowney]

what I love is that everyone is so overwhelmed by having Joni with them and singing but you can see from her last phrase that all she cared about was nailing it, she did, and you saw the look of satisfaction on her face that she knew it! the performance was all that mattered!

[babsfreeburg]

She's precious and must be protected at all costs.

Joni Mitchell came back from a massive brain aneurysm where she completely had to relearn how to talk, walk let alone sing or play guitar
What a joy to see
