Once you tune into how deceptively complex her music is, most pop, rock, country & hip-hop sounds like dogs barking. That Pat Metheney & Jaco Pastorious were her back-up players says it all. Two of the top musicians of their time.

All those albums were the soundtrack of my life as a young woman in New York. Now I'm Joni's age and she's still my soundtrack. I don't believe the young girls now have anything like her. It's great to see Joni looking so well and sounding so at peace. Thank you, Elton! And Dodger Stadium was incredible. When I heard "Love Lies Bleeding" start up I just screamed!

Joni Mitchell is the G.O.A.T. That's all. She's taken the art form of lyric writing and chords to new levels of emotional language. She makes you 'think' as she questions life itself. We need the reminder right? The world has become embroiled in blotting out these deeper questions and lives only for perceived immediate pleasure. Joni dug deep and continues to. She sure was a humbling discovery to my own music. At first she left me feeling hopeless, like what's the point even trying? Then I figured we all have our stories and perspectives so we are all valuable musical co creators. My entry into Joni's world was her album The Hissing Of Summer Lawns- the lyrics floored me, made my head spin. Brilliant. This was Prince's favourite Joni album, he said this album made him want to be a songwriter.

Joni Mitchell has inspired an entire generation of female singer/songwriters, myself included. I paid tribute to Joni in 1982 by recording a song she wrote called "You Turn Me On (I'm A Radio)," which was a huge hit for me on the Billboard country charts. I'm so pleased that Brandy Carlile has picked up the baton and is carrying it forward. We love you, Joni.

I really started to appreciate Elton as a person with the interview he did on Elvis Costello's show five or so years ago. He told some great stories of the days before he was successful. Having said that, EC is much better at this interviewing thing than Elton. who seems uncomfortable and always looking at his notes. But EC is a lyricist and EJ isn't, so it kind of makes sense that EJ would have a tougher time.

@lfitzgerald0624 Год назад

I disagree- she has never reinvented herself. She has just continued to do what she wanted to do or go to. Not a new voice, but most voices are altered by aging or a different perspective or interpretation.

@bluebellbeatnik4945 Год назад

@@lfitzgerald0624 Mate, it's a modern way of expressing a certain thing. Most of what people call a reinvention is a person exploring a new idea and there is an aesthetic to go with it. Usually there is a spiritual element involved - not in a god-sense but in a 'I'm trying this thing, look etc. out for a while to see what it's like'. There is nothing wrong with it.

@Channel-lb1is 3 месяца назад

People in their right minds who have their egos in check don’t always take flowery compliments so easily, because they know that they’re human, too, and not always deserving of complete and undying hero worship. Joni Mitchell knows she’s a human being with flaws, but she’s also a truly brilliant lady, musically, artistically, and creatively. Her song lyrics are like wise, beautiful poetry. She’s one of my heroines. And she would probably want to laugh at that, too, but she totally deserves the appreciation, admiration, and accolades, doesn’t she? ❤💎💗

@joels3575 Год назад

I know, Rich-I wonder the same thing--not to take anything away from her other albums-but for me, “For The Roses” stands alone both musically and emotionally. I still remember the first night I had that album in 1973 and played one side, then the other, and repeated that for hours and hours until the morning light-it transported me. ‘Blonde in the Bleachers’ moving into ‘Woman of Heart and Mind’ is one of the most incredible album moments I can ever recall. But Yes, Rich, for some reason, I have heard several times people refer to “Blue”, then “Court and Spark”-& I don’t get why they leave out “For The Roses”. Sorry to go on & on-but when I saw your comment, I couldn’t be still……….thank you, Rich. P.S.-Joni might be the greatest artist of our time-poetry, music, painting-she stands alone.

I love when Elton John is into something … he’s a whole different person… I mean what can you say about in Joni Mitchell ? A goddess !

@DOLPHINLADYFOXandPUP Год назад

Joni I have lived w/ your words as a guiding light since Song to a Seagull...so many times in my 65 yrs I have recited your lines! "you brush against a stranger & you both apologize" how often this happens & I always think of Joni, "oh sour grapes cuz you lost your heart", Joni there are MANY GREAT woman singer/song writers esp in the 60s...kinda where it all started, but you my dear are the CREAM of the CROP! you were just ... more ...? ...EVERYTHING! thank Ms Joni for being my friend, sister, therapist and giving me years of enjoyment!

"The Hissing of Summer Lawns" was/is absolute genius.

Just love it so much when 2 of my favorites 🤩 Joni Mitchell & Elton John - talk about their 🎵 🎶 musical highs...many times, I have "drafted" behind trucks on the highways, driving from Milwaukee to Saskatoon. 🇨🇦 One day, having ☕ a coffee outside a Broadway Avenue cafe in downtown Saskatoon with a friend, his little boy spotted Joni sitting alone at a table outside; he ran & quickly pulled up a bunch of flowers 💐 & handed them to Joni! She smiled: & that moment stays in my mind as clear as yesterday. Her music has shaped my life as it has so many others, as she narrated so many painful & joyous experiences of this life & love.

Elton is so kind, gentle and loving, what a fabulous interview. This appreciation for Joni is wonderful. Many thanks. 🙏

@a27garbo Год назад

One extra detail I liked about this interview; I'm so happy for Brandi Carlile... both music legends and her biggest heroes saying lovely things about her. (so deserving btw) .. .. I bet this interview made her very happy ... I remembered from her book and interviews how difficult is to get acknowledgement and a compliment from Joni :)

@jeffking887 Год назад

Even Sir Elton admits how intimidating it is to sing her songs in her presence. Brandi did an entire album.

Since Joni's first album, Song to a Seagull (Produced by David Crosby no less), I've always been a fan of hers. Good songwriting never dies and hers undoubtedly will live on. Best memory of Joni was listening to James Taylor and her in concert. It was a magical evening.

So glad to see her so happy, smiling and full of joy ! I loved her storytelling about what inspired the songs like that solo drive ... Very enjoyable! Her Newport was so inspiring and moving!

“You’d think we’d wise up”. God bless her. The understatement of the century…or any other century.

@tuntematon_co Год назад

I love the humility of people like Elton John or Bob Dylan who can so easily take on the role of a DJ on the radio, just talk about their love of music and their craft and give props to their own idols and forerunners. Elton is such a great host, it's like he was born to do it.

@paredding Год назад

Yup - just a natural cos he's been there and done it. His music artist history knowledge is massive too...

@nyingma13 9 месяцев назад

"When we had the Joni Jams"! This is a brilliant combination with a remarkable synergy between them! And Elton is absolutely correct when he says "Both Sides Now" at her appearance at Newport is spot on. Her voice, the slowed tempo, and the passage of time lent such a gravitas to the song, and it was as if someone was looking back on their life with a world weariness and a different perspective not only of the lyrics but of their life.

@cyndimoring9389 Год назад

she's such a storyteller. Full of details, and color.

@buddymaxwell6881 Год назад

Joni's Shadows and Light album, always great to listen to. Jaco and Pat Metheny in the rhythm section, so amazing. She's a genius.

@camwordplay Год назад

Joni playing with the LA Express on Miles of Aisles was incredible, but the Shadows & Light band (Metheny, Mays, Jaco, Brecker & Alias - with a little help from The Persuasions) was out of this world. Sadly, we've lost most of them now. But the album and the concert video are two things I will never get tired of.

I learnt how to play guitar when I was younger. I heard Hejira and I was completely floored . Brilliant songs , wonderful performances and the guitar work on the album . . . In my mind Hejira was / is one of the great guitar albums. A brilliant album , and I love all her other albums. A wonderful woman And a quick hello to you Elton .

@JB19504 Год назад

Elton is a great interviewer, and so intelligent. And Joni, what else can one say?

@scottdorsey8220 Год назад

Elton was like a kid in a candy store with Joni! That's fabulous! Yes, Joni please record another classic from your home!

@jtpaar1732 Год назад

This was a terrific interview between two music legends and to be honest, it was a pleasure to see Sir Elton so incredibly humbled in Miss Mitchell's presence. Both Sides Now has always been a favorite song but the remake with the orchestra and the slowed-down tempo somehow clarifies moments of truth to anyone who has loved and lost. I feel very privileged to have lived in a time where I have enjoyed the meaningful music of both Joni and Elton. Rock on!

Joni has been an a favorite since I was a child as well as Elton, who sings my wedding song. This was just wonderful to watch.

Joni is a true renaissance genius and picking one song from her catalogue is not possible but I think her Magdalene Laundries , live in Toronto, truly exemplifies her musical and literary genius along with her humanity.

@MarybethNorton-hc5cb Месяц назад

Joni is finally being showered with the affection and acclaim she deserves! I am a huge fan and grew up with Joni's, records, cassettes and iTunes! I often quote her - when she was at a concert once and the audience kept shouting, 'play this song or that song' and she said, 'I paint a picture and that is that, but as a music artist, I have to keep playing songs over and over'! This was such a relevant statement as I am an Interior Designer, and when finishing a home, this is closure, I don't have to repeat it!

@CollinKelley Год назад

What a treat to see this. I also love Joni’s more mature voice, especially on Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm, Night Ride Home (a masterpiece on par with anything she’s recorded), and Turbulent Indigo. I got tickets to The Gorge show next year and cannot wait - at long last - to be in her presence. I never thought it would happen. ❤
