I’m 73. Joni was as she is in this video when I had the pleasure of listening to her. None of my buddies were Joni fans, which indicates how tenuous my taste in friends was then. 😄 Loved her voice. Loved her casual folksy songs. She and Crosby, Stills & Nash were great buds, and I loved them too. Laurel Canyon, above Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, was a draw for many of the musicians of the day. She and CS&N lived up there. She had so many great songs but I had a thing for ‘Ladies of the Canyon’. ‘California’, ‘Carey’, ‘Free Man in Paris’, ‘Chelsea Morning’, ‘Woodstock’……. Too many. ‘Morning Morgan Town’ paints a lovely picture too.
I'm right there with you. As much as I liked/loved so many of the acts my friends liked (in our 20's esp.), they didn't listen to nearly as many female acts as I did. Some of them opened their minds to a few over the year, but still not like myself. Mitchell, Patti Smith, Franklin, Parton, Wynette, Rickie Lee Jones, Gillian Welch, Nina Simone, Holiday, Hynde, PJ, Beth Gibbons. So many brilliant ladies out there.
You're the best reactor. Joni is a giant, an angel, so talented at writing and performing. Thanks. I echo the guy below, Joni always brings me to tears.
It's an artist in her most expressive environment, sharing her inner thoughts and experiences with us. Her comfort, ease and joy make the performance that much more affecting. Wonderful reaction.
I met Joni once when i was 10. My mother is friends with Folk singer Judy Collins & my mother & i went to her home for lunch. Joni happen be there that day. I sat next to her at the kitchen table. I have fond memories of Joni leaning next to me & caressing with my hair for almost an hour while the ladies were chatting.
I watched the documentary about Laurel Canyon, and an interview with Stephen Stills. He said that when they met and started experimenting, her instrument tunings were unorthodox, and 'all over the place'. It turns out, her tunings were inspired to replicate the sounds of nature, and birdsongs that she heard, giving her songs a familiar beauty that everyone recognized, - but nobody could quite place - explaining how her music was mysterious, and drew the listener in.
There is really no other way to describe Joni Mitchel musically other than genius. She is a genius. It's a tragedy that she can never perform like this again because of her health, but the genius of her music is a legacy that will live on long after she and all the rest of us have passed on.
I am so lucky I grew up with such great music in the late 60's and early 70's. Such awesome folk music but also great rock and metal. I married the guitar player in a rock band I used to see and it is our 50th anniversary in October.
I love this Joni Mitchell is awesome! Robert Plant wrote a love song/letter for Joni Mitchell. The song is 'Going to California' its acoustic and beautiful, if you don't do a reaction to it, listen to it for your own pleasure. I really enjoy your reactions.
I was recently listening "Going to California" on Zeppelin's live album How the West Was Won and he mentions her name after one of lines. "To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings ...Joni."
@@qthelost In one live version I've listened to Robert says "Joni" almost under his breath, after singing, "Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair". Sounds like Robert changed it up now and then.
@@fanofthefade Yeah, on the 1975 Earls Court performance of the song, he doesn't say her name, but he pauses for a few seconds and says, "oh, she sings."
I loved this - thank you! If you think of reacting to Joni later in her career, I suggest her 2000 live performance of Both Sides Now - the most beautiful singing imaginable.
What a musical genius. The talent and hard work flows through every note and beautifully whimsical phrase. My favorite is A Case Of You. It gives me chills every time I hear it. Great reaction, Bethany!
I remember hearing a case of you on the radio when I was 14. Went straight out and bought the album Blue and so started my life long love of the genius that is Joni Mitchell. She is such a gift to humanity. I'd love to see your reaction to Laura Nyro one of Joni's early influences and for me so underrated.
Thank you! I've been waiting a long time for you to get to Joni! Great job. I am certain I am not alone in hoping that you get around to her performance of "Woodstock" from this same concert, where she is at the piano and flexes her voice in ways that are simply incredible. Keep up the great work!
@@lukeoverthere1364 I've spent a lot of time down in Moosejaw. Did you tour the underground tunnels? To smuggle out booze for Al Capone. By the way, my dad's from Invergordon, up in Scotland. Been there many times. Cheers!
Joni's music doesn't speak to my soul like it does to so many, but you don't have to have that kind of visceral love of a singer/songwriter to know that they embody pure and absolute genius. Nobody was ever like Joni before Joni, or after Joni nor will anyone ever be like Joni
It should come as no surprise that you are well-versed in Joni. With her voice and talent, how could you not? Such a lovely early recording. Grace is a wonderful descriptor for Joni Mitchell.
I have recently stumbled upon your channel....and I appreciate your knowledge and brief points of definition without getting so self preachy in not being too opinionated, and your enthusiastic open venue of different genres of music is refreshing, and you are right about 60s/70s/80s/90s Metal/Folk/Rock/Soul/Latin of offset arrangement of chorus and notes that leads too an explosion of sound, is what really sets a mood of self discovery and enjoyment. That's what it's all about. Its too bad the music industry has moved to a more safe and synthetic version of raw talent.
Beautiful song! For some reason, she reminds me of Alison Krause. Both have such soft yet strong voices. Very high and clear. Lovely combination! Thanks and cheers!
VERY, VERY NICE!! Joni Mitchell is in my Top 5 favorite female singers. The audio is amazing as well! Perfect Monday Morning now! Thanks Bethany!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Totally. Joni herself recognizes it. At one point of the concert she says "I'm really in the mood to sing!" She was particularly inspired that day, even though she had a cold. Many songs of that concert are their best renditions ever! Specially "The Gallery" and "Cactus Tree" I'd say
Love this reaction, the merging of your authenticity and Joni's authenticity is so satisfying! Joni was a bit before my interest in music, but as a guitarist, her unique influence is huge. Keep up this lovely work! And at the risk of sounding a creep, kudos to your hair stylist!
Joni is very much a product of her time. She's borrowing from beat poetry in her phrasing, which feels like a stream of ideas, delivering almost spoken lines at times, singing past the bar, etc, etc. Especially in a song about California. I grew up in the state, with her music always around. This song instantly transports me to that place in that time.
When I was younger in my ignorance I had no time for Joni Mitchell or any of the other Singer/Songwriters from that era. As you mature you understand the craft and art that goes into songs ike California and the anazing voice that sings it. We live and learn' as they say.
If there was a songwriter Mount Rushmore, Joni is an absolute lock for it. This song is from "Blue" and every song on that album would chart in the top 100 songwriter's list. She is pure genius, and sadly, I don't think enough people today have any idea how blessed we have been to live in her time. She is recognized by the musically educated, and sadly her health doesn't allow her enough exposure today to receive the proper accolades, but one can sure learn a lot about music by studying Joni. And to think she and Bob Dylan were of the same generation ... oh, the mind is blown. Over the years, my personal favorite has become "Morning Morgantown", but "For Free" and "Little Green" are in contention.
The best singer/songwriter of our generation - a poetess and painter who also created pictures with her songs. Her vocal range is amazing when young, but I find it fascinating how some talented singers adapt to the changes in their voices as they age. Joni is one, Robert Plant another and John Martyn also comes to mind because there are videos of him comparatively young and during his career until the time he was growling from a wheelchair shortly before he died.
There are singers that have a unique voice,not just good but so interesting in style ,that your ears take in every note and every line.Joni is that soul and I was lucky to catch her performing in the 1970s at Meriwether Post Pavilion.She was wonderful and very entertaining in her banter with her many fans.She is also a great artist as a painter too.A charming woman indeed.
Yes, in one live version I've listened to Robert says "Joni" almost under his breath, after singing, "Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair".
JONI & KAREN CARPENTER, IT DOESN'T GET ANYYYYYY BETTER THAN THOSE 2, NOT TO ME! 💯😊BOTH WERE TRUE CONTRALTOS, 3 RANGES UP AND DOWN, JUST ABSOLUTELY INSANE, INSANELY BEAUTIFULLLL!👍JONI DID MUCH MORE BUT STILL, KAREN WAS A GREAT DRUMMER & PERCUSSIONIST SO. R.I.P ☹TO KAREN THAT ANGEL IN HEAVEN, SHE WAS TREATED JUST SO HORRIBLE BY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY I'VE SAID FOR 40 YEARS NOW, HER 42ND YEAR😮 OF HER DEATH COMES UP IN FEB. JUST SO SAD, HOPE YOU KEEP ENJOYING THESE 2 AWESOME LEGENDS / JONI MITCHELL & THE CARPENTERS, MANY BLESSINGS AND HAPPIEST OF THE SEASON TO YOU!
Just by random bumped into this…sorry have not read any of the comments, but I hope someone mentions that “California” is Graham Nash. Many of her references were thinly veiled friends and lovers. Joni’s songwriting, playing, and singing talents are of course pure genius.
Only Joni. Just so individual in everything she does, from her de-tuned chords, to visceral lyrics & shape shifting vocals! Never matched. Check out live version of ‘Woodstock’ possibly from same concert in early 79’s think it was BBC. Quite stunning. 😍
Personally i have newer really been a fan of Joni performing her own song, but all the covers done by other artist and bands shows so well what a genius songwriter she is. She is a really good storyteller performing her songs though, very expressive.
Always enjoy your videos.. would really like to see you do one Firehouse. CJ Snare was a wonderful singer. There is a very good live recording of Home Is Where the Heart Is from Japan. And many more from there. Again.. great videos!
Joni was one of a kind, to me, and I imagine how true she was to her art, as well as to her outlook on life, being true to herself with grace. She had to be present among hardcore bandmembers, who were drugged and drunk, at the Woodstock Festival for example. With her perceptive nature, that must've been hard work.
It’s such a beautiful song and a beautiful version. I love the contrast between her voice and the slightly janky and out-of-tune dulcimer (which she plays wonderfully). I see people have recommended Led Zeppelin’s Going To California. I’d recommend Joanna Newsom’s In California.
Talking about being there, if you had continued the video you would have seen who's in the audience at the end - the legendary Peter Green. That always said more about Joni's talent than album sales, the fact that the industry's best musicians all respected and admired her so much.
You don't see many people playing a Dulcima these days. I made two of them from kits, about 45 years ago, onefor my wife and one for my mother in law. My wife played hers until it wouldn't fit on her lap anymore (our daughter in the way) and I salvaged the other one when MIL's house was cleaned out. Both need new strings and haven't been touched for years.
My inlaws have a few and my brother in law plays them sometimes when we get together. pretty cool seeing his guitar skills translate but with a different kinda sound.
Love to see you do a comparison of her "This Flight Tonight" and Nazareth's cover of it. So differentin style, but both great songs and vocal performances.
Please do one on blue October! Justin is such an amazing singer and writer would also love to see you do seether what an incredible gritty voice Shaun has ! Love the vids and channel
The female trio "I'm With Her" (Sarah Jarosz, Aofie O'Donavan and Sara Watkins), cover Carrie Get out Your Cane, and all are exceptionally good in their own right, but they seemed to struggle with covering Joni
The first time I heard this I had to look up the meaning of "sunset pig." I should have known, because I had read about the clashes in the 60's between the young people and the police on Sunset Blvd. I just didn't make the connection.
I loved your reactions 😍 your smile is just like.....can't explain please react to Indian artists. 1year ago you've reacted to one of Indian singer please react again..
The brilliant Joni Mitchell. A National Treasure here in Canada 🇨🇦❤
As a musician, composer, performer, Joni has no weakness. This best of her generation and that's some serious competition.
For some reason this relatively happy song brought me to tears. Joni Mitchell does it for me every time.
Does it to us all, my friend.
Sometimes, music just catches you in a place.
She does it to me as well…. that voice….such a beautiful, clear voice… and such a
range…I’ve loved her from 1970..
Most Joni songs bring me to tears. It's the timbre in her voice.
-As I grow older my appreciation of Joni increases exponentially.
you....joni....your reaction.....beautiful. Thank you, bless you.
I’m 73. Joni was as she is in this video when I had the pleasure of listening to her. None of my buddies were Joni fans, which indicates how tenuous my taste in friends was then. 😄
Loved her voice. Loved her casual folksy songs.

This live performance of Joni's was a delight as was your analysis. Pure joy.
What an amazing talent.
The poetry is brilliant, the singing is brilliant, but the playing is perfect. She's the greatest artist of my time.

I have fond memories of Joni leaning next to me & caressing with my hair for almost an hour while the ladies were chatting.
what do you mean ?
Slightly creepy, I don’t care who’s caressing my daughters hair for an hour I’d put a stop to it. Stop touching my kid
I love this ❤
She expresses so much character and subtle storytelling through her singing. And so much humanity. One of the best ever.
I watched the documentary about Laurel Canyon, and an interview with Stephen Stills. He said that when they met and started experimenting, her instrument tunings were unorthodox, and 'all over the place'.
It turns out, her tunings were inspired to replicate the sounds of nature, and birdsongs that she heard, giving her songs a familiar beauty that everyone recognized, - but nobody could quite place - explaining how her music was mysterious, and drew the listener in.
Joni is a musical icon. Singer, songwriter, musician …from Canada 🇨🇦
Who reached legendary status in the USA.
There is really no other way to describe Joni Mitchel musically other than genius. She is a genius. It's a tragedy that she can never perform like this again because of her health, but the genius of her music is a legacy that will live on long after she and all the rest of us have passed on.
Mitchell brings such genius to her music. She tells a story through warmth, humor, and reality and of course, her beautiful voice!

She’s had over 40 songs written about or for her.
Oh Canada......................we are so lucky to have her..and so is the WORLD..she should be on our flag ,along with Neil .....LOl
Instant recognition. No one else sounds like her. Unique is very apt.
A CDN Gem... Thank you for covering Joni! Always loved her song "Big Yellow Taxi"
I loved this - thank you! If you think of reacting to Joni later in her career, I suggest her 2000 live performance of Both Sides Now - the most beautiful singing imaginable.
A truly great edition of the Vocalyst. Thank you!
What can you say? The union of genius and talent.
What a musical genius. The talent and hard work flows through every note and beautifully whimsical phrase. My favorite is A Case Of You. It gives me chills every time I hear it. Great reaction, Bethany!

I'd love to see your reaction to Laura Nyro one of Joni's early influences and for me so underrated.
love this one. And she plays that instrument amazingly, it's exactly the song! Oh you can pause as much as you want, I look forward to it 😊
Thank you! I've been waiting a long time for you to get to Joni! Great job. I am certain I am not alone in hoping that you get around to her performance of "Woodstock" from this same concert, where she is at the piano and flexes her voice in ways that are simply incredible. Keep up the great work!
One of the greatest "feels" singers ever. Straight into your heart!!!
A Canadian legend, who grew up in my home town of Saskatoon.
I went to Canada once travelled from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver island got lost in Moosejaw but made it home to the UK in one piece.
@@lukeoverthere1364 I've spent a lot of time down in Moosejaw. Did you tour the underground tunnels? To smuggle out booze for Al Capone. By the way, my dad's from Invergordon, up in Scotland. Been there many times. Cheers!
Loved her music as a child, and am appreciating it again these days just how genius it is. Also have to love her sense of humour!
Joni's music doesn't speak to my soul like it does to so many, but you don't have to have that kind of visceral love of a singer/songwriter to know that they embody pure and absolute genius. Nobody was ever like Joni before Joni, or after Joni nor will anyone ever be like Joni

Joni suffered from a relative rare, and strange health problem. Morghellons disease.
Please do more joni michell. there are so many good songs.
Part II 😁 Prioritize her intention! I like it! Never heard anyone more descriptive than you! Awesome! ☮️
The lyrics make me think of a California my mom left Louisiana to find and found it circa 1962 ....
this nearly made me cry.. I love Joni
The best singer/songwriter of our generation - a poetess and painter who also created pictures with her songs. Her vocal range is amazing when young, but I find it fascinating how some talented singers adapt to the changes in their voices as they age.

She's one of those singers who knows how to use her voice as an instrument. And the greats can also make the difficult seem effortless.
Holy spitballs!!! Had never heard this before. I knew she was good but this is unbelievably awesome!!! So raw, so powerful and so much spunk.
This is the song Robert Plant responded to for 'Going to California' on Led Zeppelin IV.
Yes, in one live version I've listened to Robert says "Joni" almost under his breath, after singing, "Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair".
Joni Mitchell is a world treasure. She's a sort of Leonardo da Vinci of music...a genius without limits.
Her greatest performance of any of her songs is her doing Both Sides. Amongst so many truely great songs...

A singular artist.
Joni is a copy of no one. I’ve loved her music for well over 50 years.
Joni
Only Joni. Just so individual in everything she does, from her de-tuned chords, to visceral lyrics & shape shifting vocals! Never matched. Check out live version of ‘Woodstock’ possibly from same concert in early 79’s think it was BBC. Quite stunning. 😍
one of my top fav joni traxx
We just chilling enjoying a Legend today? oh ok, down for this anytime!
My Joni .......... danke. LG
she's a genius !
And to think Joni had a cold during this concert. She said she was losing her voice and still she sings like that! ❤
Personally i have newer really been a fan of Joni performing her own song, but all the covers done by other artist and bands shows so well what a genius songwriter she is.
She is a really good storyteller performing her songs though, very expressive.
Always enjoy your videos.. would really like to see you do one Firehouse. CJ Snare was a wonderful singer. There is a very good live recording of Home Is Where the Heart Is from Japan. And many more from there. Again.. great videos!
An angel sings..
Finally girl,,lol,,some roots Joni M❤❤
Joni was one of a kind, to me, and I imagine how true she was to her art, as well as to her outlook on life, being true to herself with grace.
She had to be present among hardcore bandmembers, who were drugged and drunk, at the Woodstock Festival for example. With her perceptive nature, that must've been hard work.
She chose not to attend Woodstock, due to other commitments and worried about getting out of there afterward.
Can you imagine a Joni Mitchell/Geddy Lee duet? I'd be happy to listen to it, if nothing else I'm sure that it would be interesting.
Peter Green (singer, original Fleetwood Mac lineup) can be seen in the audience at the start.
Awesome. For 80’s, Check out Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse. Great mixed voice vocalist
My two favorite female singers are Joni and Janis - completely opposite but both legendary and unique
AND THIS SONG INSPIRED ( ZEPPELIN ) TO DO : GOING TO CALIFORNIA😊, THEY EVEN REFERENCE JONI A FEW TIMES IN THE SONG! 👍
It’s such a beautiful song and a beautiful version. I love the contrast between her voice and the slightly janky and out-of-tune dulcimer (which she plays wonderfully).
I see people have recommended Led Zeppelin’s Going To California. I’d recommend Joanna Newsom’s In California.
I wanna go back to California so bad.
Canada gave us the two greatest--Joni and Neil.
Talking about being there, if you had continued the video you would have seen who's in the audience at the end - the legendary Peter Green. That always said more about Joni's talent than album sales, the fact that the industry's best musicians all respected and admired her so much.
You don't see many people playing a Dulcima these days. I made two of them from kits, about 45 years ago, onefor my wife and one for my mother in law. My wife played hers until it wouldn't fit on her lap anymore (our daughter in the way) and I salvaged the other one when MIL's house was cleaned out. Both need new strings and haven't been touched for years.
My inlaws have a few and my brother in law plays them sometimes when we get together. pretty cool seeing his guitar skills translate but with a different kinda sound.
Would love her to analyze ‘Help Me’ by Joni Mitchell.
It is soooo happy song... that, it is like she tells a some light smile joke.
But she actually play that joke - put it in melody.
I would have loved to hear her collab with Simon & Garfunkel.
❤❤❤❤
Love to see you do a comparison of her "This Flight Tonight" and Nazareth's cover of it. So differentin style, but both great songs and vocal performances.
Please do one on blue October! Justin is such an amazing singer and writer would also love to see you do seether what an incredible gritty voice Shaun has ! Love the vids and channel
The female trio "I'm With Her" (Sarah Jarosz, Aofie O'Donavan and Sara Watkins), cover Carrie Get out Your Cane, and all are exceptionally good in their own right, but they seemed to struggle with covering Joni
so amazing, and earlier in the show she told the audience that she had a cold.
❤🎉❤🎉
The first time I heard this I had to look up the meaning of "sunset pig." I should have known, because I had read about the clashes in the 60's between the young people and the police on Sunset Blvd. I just didn't make the connection.
Wish you'd do the song Blue
I loved your reactions 😍 your smile is just like.....can't explain please react to Indian artists. 1year ago you've reacted to one of Indian singer please react again..
Check you out with your new background Bethany. You look brighter.
I deeply recommend reacting to Serú Girán - La Grasa de Las Capitales. Kisses. You're the best.
I would recommend listening to Me and My Dog by Boygenius. 😊
I would LOVE if you could analyze the voice of Tyler Joseph (lead singer from twenty one pilots) especially the song Vignette!
