12/30/22 @ 10:30 AM: I first experienced this song as a young boy in the sixties. The first version was sung by a youthful Judy Collins. I had yet to hear the songwriter’s version. Having heard the story behind the lyrics from Joni at a concert at a concert in the early seventies, added many layers with more than a little gravitas and emotion. I’m a nutshell, Joni Mitchell is a treasure!

There is a poignancy in this song that was not there in Joni's younger years.

So amazing...at about 3:49 you can hear Brandi Carllile whisper "tears and fears" to Joni, who had clearly lost her place in the song. And then Brandi steps in and brings it back around on track, so that Joni can finish out the song so stunningly. Planned or just magical musicians supporting Joni, it matters not. It is an exceptional, beautiful moment in the entire beautiful moment of this recording! Props! Stunning!

@johncassleman304 Год назад

It was at this festival in 1966 that Judy Collins introduced Joni Mitchell to her audience. Collins was the first to cover and record Both Sides Now and made Mitchell's song a huge hit. To me, what makes this song and Mitchell so iconic was that she had as a 23 year old the ability to write with such profound insight what for most us is only gained over many years and realized by 79 year olds, like her .... now. I first heard her sing it as a 25 year old. I marveled at its insights then and as a 79 year oldster in a few weeks ... still.

One of my favorite aspects of this is how Brandi Carlile handled it. She was ready to step in and support or fill in for Joni if she faltered, but as Joni carried it on her own, Brandi stepped back and let her shine.

@alanyoung6847 9 месяцев назад

This is a hymn. One for the ages. A truly extraordinary expression of the human spirit. Joni is a goddess and Brandi is an archangel in reminding us of how beautiful and important this is. Wow. Amidst all the other things going on... this gives me hope, and inspiration.

@limeplasterer2766 Год назад

Simply transcendental. Brandi Carlile's gentle supportive presence facilitates Joni's delivery. There's a few moments where Brandi prompts Joni delivery as she intuitively senses she may struggle recalling the next words but this is done so sensitively most of the audience wouldn't notice - truly humbling.

@elizjane65 Год назад

And the pure joy on Brandi’s face at 1:52 when Joni lands her notes so perfectly. Transcendental, for sure. And the words of congratulations. Joni nailed it, and Brandi was there for it; all in.

@@capt.k6554 literally does not happen without her, Joni is only there performing for the first time in 20+ years because she trusts Brandi to guide her. You can feel whatever you want about Brandi’s contributions but she’s clearly chiming in when she senses Joni struggling with a lyric.

When, in 2015, she suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm, I, like so many of us, was utterly devastated. It looked like she would never be able to sing again. So, you can imagine the joy and depth of emotion this "Empress Of Song" is generating in my heart and across the globe right now, as we witness this weekend's magical moments....🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

I appreciate older performers who are still singing in their 80s-- they have a gravitas as well as a presence that younger folks don't have/haven't earned yet... and they connect us with the past in an important way, harkening back to some of our most poignant memories-- like a postcard from the past in our present moment.

She is certainly conveying the pain and hopefulness that she experienced throughout her life. I’m lucky enough to be alive with this legend

The word bookends comes to mind when viewing this. Joni in her youth sang this song with the question of life before her. Now she sings like a grandmother sitting in her chair telling her children and grandchildren of her life. This is incredibly intimate and hopefully all the youth in the audience stop and realize what they just experienced. As a guy watching on youtube, I was touched.
