I'll watch this a thousand times and my heart will swell and my tears will well and spill each time! I've been listening & loving Joni & this song since it was released, and through all the changes of Joni's different stages & voices and so many of the covers but this, THIS! It just overflows my heart! Wowza!!! Brandi always knows just how when to support & fill and when to let Joni shine solo! They are both such gifts! Thanks so much for sharing the WHOLE pre & post, you really captured it! Gratitude abounds! ❣💓🥰
Yep, I cry every time. 😭😭 And I love the moment part way through where you can see Allison Russell and Sarah McLachan (although she is mostly hidden behind Joni's chair) resting their heads on Annie Lennox's shoulders, just listening (and probably crying, as well).
I can't stop crying... Oh my gosh, to have Joni singing this song again - the beauty of Joni Mitchell sitting there, whole and healthy and bringing her music back to us after so long away is overwhelming to me! I have to say that, sadly, it is only due to the attention paid and the reverence of these older artists by Brandi that we are again seeing live performances by icons like Joni Mitchell and Tanya Tucker. But thank goodness that Brandi understands how important the music of these amazing talented ladies is to us, as a society today, and she is working to bring it back to us! Clearly, she knows that the music created by these wonderful talents is something that is valuable, but I am not sure she realizes that without her, these amazing artists' work would not have had a new life! I am just grateful to be able to witness this, even if it is not in person. And I am thankful that this music is so healing - and if folks would be open to it, so revealing that we are all the same - we all just want to love and be loved! 🏳🌈❤
I love Joni Mitchell's songs. I don't love the hagiography that goes on from some fans. To say that Joni Mitchell's songs are "important" to us "as a society today" is just a wild reach. And silly! She is not relevant to 99% of people under the age of 50, in terms of 'healing', or whatever. Can't Joni Mitchell just be an incredible writer, singer and guitarist, without also making her some kind of avatar for global whatever? Fire away, amigas!
Brandi is right this is one of the greatest songs ever written.... Although there are many layers to it, this classic should be one of Canada's national anthem's.... 🇨🇦🍁🥌🇨🇦
Being born in the mid 60's I remember hearing Joni but I was really never into her. But listening to her music lately it's so magical. This performance and song will go down as the best of all times for me.
Crying like a baby over here. Joni Mitchell will forever be the first music I loved and first records I owned.. I am 32. My parents had impeccable music taste. ❤️- man oh man Joni has a way to lull your mind and take you so deep into emotion..😢
Such a pleasure. I'm new to Brandi Carlisle. So precious how she uncovered this still glowing treasure of Joni's music. Not just a singer, but a vocal painter of passionate, sensitive, delicate, powerful narrative. She sucks you in like a whirlpool, runs through you as if you were permeable, transports you as if you were a feather and lands you in a new knowing, all through the'vehicle' of song.
I was there- such a beautiful time- when I listen now it takes me to so many nice memories. Thank u Joni- thank u Brandi You have touched so many souls
Joni! Such grace and talent and perseverance and resilience and courage. I love hearing her singing with such power and passion even if it’s a couple of octaves lower than the originals!🎉❤
Wow this was like a religious experience. Brought me to tears. I'm so glad that Joni can finally bask in the love of everyone there after all she's been through. It touching to hear what's left of her voice -- still Joni! Thanks for posting.
Saw Joni live in the autumn of 1969 at Syracuse University in Crouse College, which was originally built as a chapel. She floated out like an angel, highlighted by the colored beams through the stained glass. The audience was breathless. You could have heard a pin drop. And then The Magic. Brandi, (who lives only a few miles from me) bless you for bringing Joni to the forefront again. I was offered tickets from someone who could not go to this concert at The Gorge. Wish now that I'd done it, in spite of my health problems, my husband's broken elbow, that it was 3 hours away and my dread of crowds, even though I was at the ORIGINAL Woodstock in August of '69! (Well, that was then....). Thank goodness for modern technology so I can get a taste of it and reminisce about the many relationships from my past, (' the last time I saw Richard...") evoked by Joni's lyrics.
Thank you for posting this concert. I'm so glad Joni is back singing for everyone. Such a treat. She is an icon and her music is living on for sure! And thank you all the Joni Jam musicians and Brandy Carlyle. 😊
This was my favorite part of the whole concert. I cried then and cried again rewatching it. I love when a legend, such as Joni, can feel the genuine love of her audience for a lifetime of work. I loved how Joni's voice could still soar in this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing this well made video.
This was a deeply emotional experience to how are you hear the voice 'live' . Would have much preferred to hear only Joni as I found this revered song with Brandi to be a distraction. One of my top songs of all time.
Wow, Joni's voice has improved significantly since the 2022 show in Newport. Goes to show how dedicated she still is to her art with all that practice.
@@squirrelbutler2119 It means these "fans" are sad sacks putting down Brandi. Every freaking musician and performer on the planet draws attention to themselves for F's sake. Listen to Brandi's song The Joke. She wrote it about you.
😂💋🎶🎉🙏❤️ Bless U Joni Mitchell ur 🎶has carried my ❤️since 1973 11yo, in 💔&😄. Hearing Jaffe biography on ur life now, so profoundly grateful to u and uplifted by ur phoenix strength 👸🏼❤🙏
Yes. It's is the smoking for decades more than anything that is biggest reason for her low voice. As a lifelong fan of hers it saddens me to hear the changes.
Thank You , totally agree with you. I love Joni listened to her music from a teenager and on. But I never even heard of Brandi nor does Joni need her to sing . She needs her to back off let Joni shine not steal the spotlight.
I really would have liked to hear just to Joni singing this song. Randy does a great job singing it but for this particular version, right here, I would just as soon hear Joni singing it by her self, I think she would do a tremendous job by yourself, and I find the two voices here distracting.
@@bonniebarlow4939 mmmmm, no. If all she was doing was helping with intros she would have backed off the vocals once Joni was singing. She didn't. She also could have just had her vocals run through the monitor so Joni could use it as a guide track if needed, while on the mains she wouldn't be heard at all. She didn't do that, either. In music, we call that "stepping on" the other performer. She got in the way.
Has anyone checked that this Carlisle woman isn't committing some form of elder abuse? Or just abuse of our ears hollering over the top of everything. It's awful. Just saying.
You constantly smear your negativity on these posted performances - you and a few others say the same ignorant things over and over copying each other with your sole purpose being to put down Brandi Carlile. And you can't even spell her name right. Joni was in need of structure in some of the parts in these songs, you can tell when she's a bit off rhythm or forgetting an entrance until Brandi gently helps her out. If you don't like hearing Brandi, don't watch the ones that have her in them. Simple solution. It takes someone especially dark and twisted to continue to denigrate a light and kind soul like Brandi just living her life with family and friends.

@@MikeRussellFoto I was going to add that in but I was already getting long winded. It was magic being there, I've been blissed out ever since!
I would have loved to see Allison and Brandi sing "You're Not Alone" to Joni
Can't stop crying...for oh so many reasons. This is love personified!!! Thank you, Joni, and everyone else.
Me too!!

Having spent the last 50 years listening to Joni, this is perhaps the icing on the cake.

If this doesn't make you weep openly, you are broken. ❤❤❤❤❤
You beat me to this comment, only cos I'm too blurry eyes to actually type. Touching beyond words
This songs still gived me goosebumps & tears just flowed from my eyes everytime..
I was there- such a beautiful time- when I listen now it takes me to so many nice memories. Thank u Joni- thank u Brandi
You have touched so many souls
I cried my eyes out watching this. My all time favorite Joni song and in my top ten all time songs over all.

Just to see Joni happy and loved fills my heart with love and hope.
Oh be still my heart, what a moment, what a song!

THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC LIFT SOMEONE TODAY AND EVERYONE YOU COME ACROSS WITH GOODNESS JONI MITCHELL BELLEZZA

I don't know how any Joni superfan could get through this without crying beautifully
Absolutely perfect and beautiful!
The world is so grateful to you Brandi❤️
Thank you for posting. Cried from beginning to end.❤
I am a Nfld’er, a Canadian, so proud of you Joni Mitchell, love this song
American here. Youre so right to be proud. I treasure her, too.
Joni loves "If" by Rudyard Kipling, too! Thank you for recognizing the universality and correcting the language.
Love JONI” MY FAVE SONG
Joni you're a super star
so grateful to have been able to see this in person. so fabulously beautiful. bawling my eyes out again.
This was a deeply emotional experience to how are you hear the voice 'live' . Would have much preferred to hear only Joni as I found this revered song with Brandi to be a distraction. One of my top songs of all time.
Siempre con esa alegría Joni. Jamás deja de deslumbrar. Es un faro de luz para la humanidad desde lo humano y artístico. Cada vez canta mejor❤
Uffff cada vez canta mejor
@@FernandaGomezVasquez sí, la escucho y ese es el sentimiento. Es maravillosa
Joni is the BOSS!!!! Go Brandi!!!!! ❤❤
Wow, Joni's voice has improved significantly since the 2022 show in Newport. Goes to show how dedicated she still is to her art with all that practice.
Bravo!!❤
I drew a Canada, Oh Canada with your sketched it on it twice.
Joni is pure grace. Throughout her career she never drew unnecessary attention to herself.
So true - and then again she didn’t have to because her brillance spoke for itself.
what does that even mean?

So sorry that you have to ask .... Joni is a rare being
I agree amazing song ❤️
This is so fabulous! I have tears in my eyes❤️
Love
Love, love, love this!!
Gave me goosebumps!
I would srsly sell my car to be on the front row for this once in a lifetime show.
Heartbreaking.
I agree with Brandi, best song ever.
😂💋🎶🎉🙏❤️ Bless U Joni Mitchell ur 🎶has carried my ❤️since 1973 11yo, in 💔&😄. Hearing Jaffe biography on ur life now, so profoundly grateful to u and uplifted by ur phoenix strength 👸🏼❤🙏
I would love to be in that little cuddle with Annie Allison and Sarah …. Magic just absolute fairy dust
I love how Joni is incredibly aware of herself musically. She goes on as if Brandi is not even there, she just sings it the way she feels.
😭❤
I agree with Brandi.
Oh Joni!
❣
The best part is Joni voice, hardened by love, life, booze and cigarettes...
Yes. It's is the smoking for decades more than anything that is biggest reason for her low voice. As a lifelong fan of hers it saddens me to hear the changes.
makes me sad I want to go home to Canada
Whose the piano player
I just like to know why Brandi doesn't let Joni to perform herself the way she can! Gee!!!
Thank You , totally agree with you. I love Joni listened to her music from a teenager and on. But I never even heard of Brandi nor does Joni need her to sing . She needs her to back off let Joni shine not steal the spotlight.

@@julieflindt4233 David, you're totally right. Brandi's singing just interfered with Joni's singing.

That's a bit unkind to say about a singer who Joni Mitchell clearly is fond of and enjoys performing with.
You constantly smear your negativity on these posted performances - you and a few others say the same ignorant things over and over copying each other with your sole purpose being to put down Brandi Carlile. And you can't even spell her name right.

Carlile needs to stop singing with Joni. Totally ruins it. Joni is the greatest ever she doesnt need anyone botching her stuff
Well said, Brandi just likes to steal Joni's spotlight. Joni can sing it alone, if Brandi would just let her.
Maybe but Brandi CAN hit the higher vocal range like Joni used to.❤️
❤
