..."I was on the internet the other day and saw that this past weekend at the Newport Folk Festival, Joni Mitchell did her first full-on concert since 2000 alongside Brandi Carlile, who brought her out to sing. I did not watch the whole thing yet, but I saw the clips and her performance of "Both Sides Now," and man oh man, watch this and try not to weep at the end of it.
First of all, Joni Mitchell looks great. She suffered a brain aneurysm a few years ago and she's been recovering ever since. And here she was on stage with her little beret on. She just looked happy, and the phrasing is still all there in the way she sings. Her voice is deeper and a little richer, and it's really beautiful to see.
Her having that chance on stage made the people with her very emotional. Brandi Carlile looked like she was about to cry. You should definitely check it out, and I'm going to go back and watch the rest of the clips that are online because it moved me so much. I'm happy Joni still gets to have those moments. — Aisha Harris"
