Academy Award-Winning Director Murray Lerner (Mao To Mozart, Festival!) creates a masterful addition to the Isle of Wight canon of films with Joni’s excellent performance.
The concert/documentary film features Joni Mitchell in a modern interview, explaining the events and her reactions. The complete performance is also intercut with vintage footage from the festival attendees and the promoters to give better context to Joni’s personal recollections from the Isle of Wight in what is one of the most unique and memorable performances of the era.

52 years later, young Joni Mitchell will realize her most emotional rendition of this song at Newport. Life is beautiful at 26, only to know how precious it is at 78. Life is good to have Joni Mitchell, thank you so much.
I was 12 in 1970, now 64 to her 78 in 2022; it feels so very weird, surreal. I miss those days, the great music, the quieter nonviolent times compared to the insanity today. I would not want to be 12 or 20 today and I hate the music but I miss yesterday.
@@djchiesa3567 We are the same age, and what you have said made me so sad, I cried but then I realised how happy my life is now , thanks to the beautiful memories . ❤️ Wherever you are I feel we are connected .Bless you .
@@djchiesa3567 Non-violent times? I'm not convinced you lived then.
@@djchiesa3567 I absolutely agree with you about the great music of the late ‘60s-early ‘70s, but those times were hardly nonviolent - MLK and RFK were assassinated in ‘68. And of course there was the Vietnam War….
So nicely said.
So glad she won a award at the Grammy tonight what a legend even in 2024
What an amazing moment for music her performance was. It was magic!
Where to find it ?
@@sharan4700type in XHamster to Google
It’s like she wrote the song back then to be sung by herself now. Such an amazing emotional performance
This was a beautiful song in 1970. In 2022, When Joni sang it at Newport, it was the most heartbreakingly poignant song I've ever heard. At the same time a thing of incredible beauty and joy. Thank you, Joni, for all you've given the world.
I cry every time i watch this

light up a newport
I heard her song in the movie Coda. Beautiful song and a movie.
I hope she gets nominated for a Nobel Prize just as Dylan did. Her poetry and talent is definitely comparable.
It's better. And she can sing, not to mention her guitar-playing.
@@hansemannluchter643 LOL. You're too polite to phrase that as: "And Dylan can't sing, not to mention guitar-playing" Yeah, his harmonica was horrible as well. Dylan's only talent was song writing.
She should be nominated for one! Her music resonates with all generations! I know my parents listened to her when they were kids, I listened as a teen and I will introduce her music to the future generations
And Dylan is a PLAGIARIST!
better
Good lord, what happened to music. What a treasure..thank you Joni Mitchell!
yes, thanks Joni! ... but good music is still being created, just not mainstream
@@michaelhermiston you're right!
@truvintage5800 I'm beginning to think this way too, having said music was dead for years. What hits the charts these days though, the majority is so poor, similar to the movie industry. All everyone wants to listen/watch is rehashes of the same sounds/movies.
agreed, most mainstream movies are polished pablum, but there are some fantastic independent flics.... just there are many 'unknown' fabulous tunes being written!
Joni and other true musical artists from that time period knew how to create and sing beautiful music. What has really happened to good singers like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, etc.?
One of the best voices you'll ever hear in folk music
I think nanci griffin was up there too
Or any genre of music - she was untouchable vocally by anyone in the folk scene - for range or timbre or phrasing...
@@rainforme1850 not a competition just an opinion
Add Gordon Lightfoot to that list of the very best voices in the world, EVER!!!!
@@clintdavies491 aww yes.
I'm 70 years old and still listening. Thank you.
I have no words whenever I hear her play, so I'll just list the things that shock and move and leave me in awe in her:
- chord arrangements, melodies out of this world;
- her unique guitar playing suited for her genius alternative tunings; her piano arrangements;
-learning to play the dulcimer like no other at her time and making it a thing of tremendous beauty ('a case of you', amirite?);
- the beautiful pictures she paints in people's minds with her precise and incisive words;
- her beautiful ethereal, happy and mournful voice.
The fact that she is physically stunning is not even relevant when faced with this level of genius.
And the fact that she's a painter first? She's just too much. We just have to be thankful for everything she's shared with us and try to learn a little from it, and try and steer this world towards a better, gentler place - which I think is her greatest desire in creating her music.
So, thank you sweet Joni for all. May you live until 120!
I love her talent, couldn't possibly explain it like you did so beautifully,thank you
That's her all right! Great description. I'm 64 yrs old but have been a fan since I was a lad of 16. Her music has been a huge part of my life - I'm grateful for her body of work and immense talents.
I’m so glad you called out her beautiful guitar work! I love what she can produce from the open tunings.
So poignantly described by U here…..Just so beautiful 😱👍💜🙏🌞❗️
Well said. Absolutely true
Listening to Joni when I was 21 and then again today at 73. What a magic gift this woman is. Like most of us, aged now, she is overcoming and still a marvel. Thank you Joni for all the music. You are still in our hearts, our children's hearts, and their children.
Yeah but she must have lived a hard life because she is a complete mess now
I’m 16 and yet to age. Joni will stay with me❤
no
@@billzardus95She is 80, and suffered an vascular bloodcloth to the brain, how sensitive of you. I wish you find some compassion....
It's so amazing she has shown up at Newport festival to perform. Listen to how quiet the festival crowd is... remember this is 1970...the height of electric blues rock bands,pro,etc, and she commands attention with her shining talent!
I'm pretty sure that she told them to shut up early on in the set.
That is a great observation. I had not picked up on it. Best wishes to you, my friend.
An interesting observation. For sure, giant rock festivals were not the ideal venue for her introspective music.
Dad liked Joni Mitchell... and I wish he was still here for me to tell him how right he was in his appreciation, and how I share it now, 45 years later.
My Dad, who despised rock and roll, loved Joni on The Tommy Hunter Show!
He knows... :)
This woman has a gift from God and is a gift.
as a Canadian, i beam with a sad kind of pride. Something in the water, the winter, the empty cold nights that brings out the soul in our singer-songwriters. Joni, Leonard, Gordon, Neil, the list goes on... we hold them dear to our hearts.
Some amazing rock bands too... particularly Rush....
Neil, Joni and Gordon make me feel like l know Canada .... and I've never been there. Love fr 🇦🇺
Go on then...the list goes on. Name more
@Chief_Brody the members of The Band, Burton Cummings, Gordon Downie, Feist, Buffy Sainte Marie, Daniel Lanois, Willie Dunn, Randy Bachman.
Chilliwack, Rush, Triumph, the list goes on and on. Canada 🇨🇦 BFF’s.
Hearing Joni sing this song in her 80s made me want to go back and hear her sing it while she was in her prime. This song pushes childhood memory buttons.
Personally, I think she's in her vocal prime now.
Someone had to face “The Beast” to tell the story of finding inner peace while living in a hostile world, thank you Joni…we love you!
I don't know why but this song always brings a year to my eye..makes me remember the past and friends no.longer here 😢😢
I came to Grow a bit more acquainted with her work past year around May . And in September my dad died, it was really difficult time. This song and both sides now were on repeat for a while. So sometimes it’s hard for me to listen to them again without getting emotional. But they are just too brilliant So I come back for them once in a while, even if some tears might shed for my eyes.
To write a song like this at 25/26 with such a wisdom, optimism and pessimism of someone so young, the kind of song you’d expect somebody twice that age to write and be reflecting on life - and then to perform and nail it so perfectly in front of god knows how many people with such conviction. It just blows me away.
23*
if you ever hear a good interview with her you realize she's not just a musical genius but she's a pure genius...incredible person.
I love this so much. A real star doesn't need to be plastered in makeup and sequins. So beautiful and one of the most talented musicians ever.
That voice is unreal.
Now at 67 hearing and seeing her at that time brings me back....always loved singing "with" her.
Perhaps the most beautiful song ever written and sung! ❤❤❤❤❤
There has never been anyone like Joni Mitchell!
The audio and video quality on this is incredible for a live festival performance from 1970; bravo to whoever was responsible for the soundmixing that day!!!
Beautiful voice, lovely song
She consoled not only her generation but also her descendants with this song.
What a terrific, if short, version of Both Sides Now here. I love the way she ended it in that thrilling voice. You will never find the like of Joni Mitchell again--her angelic voice, her splendid, innovative guitar and piano playing, her moving melodies, her profound lyrics, just the soul of her on the stage. I've been listening to Joni Mitchell for more than 50 years. So glad she lived during my lifetime.
Sie singt so wunderschön, es geht unter die Haut, welche Klänge, welche Farben, welches Schwingen, soo eine wundervolle Künstlerin
So ahead of her time, what a pioneer
This is one of those songs that's a complete 10/10. I knew it from when I was young & Joni was young. Thank you for making the song.
You were not around when this music was current, stop trying to fish for likes lol
@@whyyes6428
You got 1 like so your mother must have really enjoyed that comment, genius.
This song brings me back to when society was a much better place in every way.
A golden age for great music
Back then, she had no inkling that this song would become an all-time classic! Amazing!
I look at this version, and I see a young, but serious Joni. I watch her at the Newport folk festival, and she is laughing. Good on you Joni, although you have suffered a period if ill health, you seem to have come back happier than ever. God bless you.
Besides her brilliant writing, singing and guitar playing, notice how perfectly she moves closer to the mic on the low notes and backs away on the high notes, keeping her volume perfectly level throughout the song. What a professional!
I'm not even ten yet but we always hear this song on the radio. Every young folks memorize this song.
She is very talented and beautiful!!
So I finally got to hear this wonderful song properly. My 17 year old self was there listening to her but was too far away to really appreciate it. What I realised straight away there was that if you go to a big concert or festival be ready to enjoy it just for the atmosphere, hanging out and watching the world go by, but not for the music, unless you can get close. And I did for Miles Davis,The Doors,Sly and The Family Stone and The Who , and all of them were brilliant....but when I say I've seen Joni, Leonard Cohen, and all the others it never feels real somehow. Yeah, I learnt my lesson. In fact I looked at it from both sides!
Her music has really grown on me over the years. Beautiful voice.
This incredible writer.. 🌹
Voice of an angel
The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness.
It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was minus 4 years old but I swear I heard it xx Thanks Joni xx
A part of me wants to like all of the comments, I might not understand the full complexities of this song, but I thank my family for having Joni in our lives and I love this song...
It`s not as important to understand all the complexities of a song (I doubt Joni even knows). It`s how it makes you feel. How it moves you.
This song is a lesson that every human being should learn : it is time now for us to learn the lessons ... 2024 may be our last chance, let's do it people !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The way Joni's voice rose and her face lit up at "to say I love you right out loud" is sublime. It is as though for a moment she channels all the joy and boundless optimism of a bygone age. The same line stood out for me in the 2022 Newport rendition, sung now with a richness and depth that is beyond words. The memories of such innocent, spontaneous and carefree expressions are more distant now yet somehow as imminent as ever.
Beautiful. Subtle and poetic with excellent guitar playing...
Joni is a treasure. I pray she is still around for years to come. Godspeed Joni.
❤️Joni, then and now❣️So nice that Another Great ( Brandi Carlile ) arranged for Joni to get back on stage this year. What an Excellent Newport❣️And Paul Simon❣️The BEST Keep on Rockin❣️
This song always reminds me of my childhood
I've heard the song before, many times, but this is the first time I've heard it sung by the originator. Wow!! How could I have not had this experience......?
Joni Mitchell is a treasure!❤️
When all is over and dusted Joni M will be regarded as the greatest female songwriter singer
When the crowd (section of crowd actually) applauded, Joni Mitchell's face showed a priceless hint of pride. Joni you have everything to be profoundly proud of. In conventional sense of beauty, Joni Mitchell looks her best in this concert IMHO. Also IMHO, Joni Mitchell is the most beautiful soul regardless of gender or age. A true and complete legend by any standards. I am so proud to be a great fan of hers.
I remember, some of the crowd, were on her case but, she won them round.
I am glad you pointed that out! Her graceful, staid and serious little nod of acknowledgment makes me melt every time I watch this.
Just sits there in the listening ear, great song and artist xx
I was in grade school when this song was popular. I was in the pomp pomp squad and we did our routine to it. Hearing it always makes me pause and takes me back. Even at that age the words make you think and contemplate life.
I was there at age 17 and now an old man with so many regrets and few very happy moments this song say's it all really.
Hey, me too, at 19. Regrets are a waste of time; look at life from the other side now and redress the balance from now on.
@@juliancolbeck2148 Julian you are absolutely right and is such what I have told younger people in my life BUT those few happy moments mainly with lovely girls I wish so much I could go back in time and tell that stupid young man, "Stop being so proud, go after her and say you're sorry" I truly believe my life would have been a far happier one. But I appreciate your point and one maybe I will come to terms with.
oh come man, age is just a number plus beside all the cute chicks you miss to catch,What can you really regret?The mistake done or the act not done made you now, you folks had at it all:you lived the best history time period at the right places,you were all part of something way powerful and meaningful...all the arts produced at the time still and will remain forever a testimonial of it...look at us now, I was born in 85 so far all I got was violence in all forms, insecurity,oppression from the system,almost constant sex with latex,police over controlling, few economic recession, and inflation,unemployment,no free sits anywhere in anything, artificial people,meaningless friendships and relationships,un-fuckable boring mysandric ladies, commercial music,mass consummation in all aspects,brainwashing TV,agressive capitalism, pollution,restrictions in many ways,lack of hope and opportunities,dream crushed by elders...on my 20s for a moment I thought internet would revolution the world and open consciousness by knowledge, matter a fact the aftermath is a total opposite the today's 20s already made me an old fart before the age and they are disgusting of ignorance,narrow minded, superficial, arrogant,mean, disrespectful, judgemental the severe way,full of narcissism,despising all that was not already filtered by mainstream,selfish,empty of all real and simple forms of joy,happiness, pleasures and bright cleverness,totally addicted to phones, unaware of everything that is older than them,depending on technology,locked-close in there own bubble,not approachable at all etc...etc...
@@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii Yes, you are so right. When I think of both my grandparents who lived through WW1 and my parent's WW2 when young adults compared to my time in the 60s and 70s, I was blessed and very lucky. Even so, both my grandparents and parents did look back of their youth with much fondness, their many friends and their music at that time especially romance and feminity of women. I really try to be objective as oppose being bias to my time but even so, I do truly believe the 60s and the 70s in all of history was the best time ever to be young and alive, especially our music. After working in industry I went on to be a Maths Teacher for 14 years and to reward pupils I would play two of their records and two of mine if they worked hard. For the many classes, all age groups, after a few weeks they would ask me to play my music. Also, here on RUclips, I find more and more, RUclipsrs showing absolute awe and wonder as they listen to the music of our time, thus realizing how good it was.
Even for me, sometimes an old number comes on the radio and I am transported back to those wonderful times.
@@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii Oh you are so right, especially your point about the balance of man and nature. At 70 now, it won't be long before I will be hoping for such an amusement ride.
A beautiful song we grew up with! Thanks Joni!
Thank you, Joni, you understand what life is!
Heavenly !!! ❤
She is so amazing. Wrote this song at 23, recorded by Judy the Collins where it won Grammy for best song. She is an amazing guitarist and the best accompaniment she had ever was herself.
A profound and eloquent song, elegantly performed. When this pure-looking young woman was performing this I had barely been born, but I can sing along now and the chorus means a whole lot. She really captured part of the process of growing older and wiser beautifully.
What a hauntingly beautiful vocal.
That's song perfection right there.
That was very special.
Beautifully written.
Just as impressively performed.
I didn't really know about her until the recent Brandi Carlisle performance. Of course I had heard of her, but I was born in 1968. What a beautiful voice, and she absolutely commanded a festival audience that day. It was so quiet.
Check out the album Blue!! It is one of the greatest records ever made. It may very well be the best album ever from a female recording artist… maybe tied with Janis Joplin’s Pearl.
Sometimes you just sit in amazement, knowing you’ve been blessed to be touched by the light. Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Another wonderful singer, song writer.
Thank you Joni, for all your songs. Im a 44 year old male and your music has been a good chunk of my life memories. You have a special place in my heart, no one matches your voice and lyrics. Love
This is unreal... She is on another level... Blows me away every time
She turned 78 yesterday. Bless her
No one can compare to Joni. My cuz was at this concert I was only a lil kid I'm so jealous of him now ;-)
I need her tonight to give me hope. She ist outstanding.
one of my all time faves
Magnificent
Been following Joni for a long time,she sang songs from her heart,blessed to be one of her fans,enjoy your retirement life and take care and all the best
Prophetic and iconic lyrics written by beautiful Joni Mitchell who captured our hearts then and now again at Newport 2022! Forever in our hearts 💕
I stumbled across this video, after watching Joni Mitchell perform this song at the 2024 Grammy’s on tv. Not knowing the name of the song (or much about Joni Mitchell), hearing the original got me in the same way the slowed-down version did tonight.
She is a poet who also sings. Listen to her music. I think you will appreciate her talent.
Really good guitar player too. Experimented with lots of unique tunings. A true first class pro musician.
I’m loving her outfit! The yellow dress and green jewellery are stunning. Joni, of course, is the real deal when it comes to music. This is one of the greatest songs ever written and she sings it with all heart and soul. ❤
いつ、どのようなヴァージョンで聴いても素晴らしい曲ですね🎀
Dear Joni you are a miracle of country music e not only. Thank you
Look at that cameraman's beaming smile at 2:05 He knows he's insanely lucky to be there :)
He’s also a hippie.
Timeless. Such a voice 😃😊😁❤️
She's the best of the best
Today i realised that see my life from both sides now. At the evening tried to search something about newport bay festival. Then this appeared on the screen. Rewatched more than 10 times
One word beautiful
This song, this performance of this song- I feel it in my soul.
So amazing ❤
I love how imperfect this is.
Thank you Joni, for the gift of your beautiful vocals, lyrics and the soundtrack to our lives, you made it all so much easier to deal with by being present and soothing our souls.
Beautiful lady and her voice is like angel ♥️☮️✌️🌈
Happy 79th Birthday Joni Mitchell ❤
One of the best composers of our generation Joni Mitchell.
❤❤❤❤Thank you.. You are the best. Thank you so much for your wonderful song. Thank you
NANO BUDDHA 2023
Such a rare and beautiful soul she is.
Hermosa canción que me transporta a mi despertar a la música . Victor desde Buenos Aires Argentina
Music like this truly touches our souls!
I started listening to her when she first started with her first record album.I ❤️ her music. And always have since the first time I heard her.
The best female songwriter singer musician I've ever heard
This song has acquired a meaning that is more and more significant as the years go by. ❤
Joni Mitchell is the music and memories of my high school years. Lovely...
It's amazing how much magic comes from this performance
What magic? Enlighten me.
