I love listening to her and contrast the enhancement of her voice and delivery between the 1970 video recording and this one. Either one is mesmerizing.
I had seen her only once back in the late 1970s and she was amazing! I wish it was on film but I revisit that time everytime I hear her records. Be glad you were born in 1989. I was in gradeschool when her career started already! And she's still with us, thank the Lord for that!
Joni's words, music and voice endure....such an incredible gift she has given the world. Her voice may be stilled due to health issues, she is nonetheless uplifting and inspirational.
I'd say singer-song-writer-musicians, though, as they each have been so much more than merely "singers." Both are truly original, brilliantly creative, & innovative, legendary musical artists...I love them both, too 👍💙🎶
Matt Turner: I guess you mean Joni then, as it is well-known that in this song she references some of the experiences & romances she had in California during her early days living there, & also, very clearly, the divorce papers & settlement with her first husband, Chuck Mitchell, whose surname she kept after their divorce.
Matt Turner This beautiful song is about a woman who is not comfortable with commitment. The woman is not selfish. My life is exactly like the life of the woman or women Joni is singing about in this amazing song.
one of my favorite songs of all time. this song never gets played on the radio.
"And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree
While she's so busy bein' free" - I know these women.
The genius of open tunings and trippy deep lyrics in her prime.
Yes, indeed, nothing like it... some of her best...
Joni Mitchell is a national treasure.
towheadmancos She's an international treasure 💕
World treasure
Damn! This is so FANTASTIC. Joni is an Angel. Love her.
Ive seriously loved her since 1971.
Yep ditto
Court and Spark caught my attention in 1973. Got to talk to her in person Ann Arbor 1975 and LAX 1999.
I’ve loved her also since I heard her voice!!!
I saw her on this tour in74. Yes. She looked this gorgeous and sounded beautiful

Good God. Unexplainable talent.
And now I'm living the last half of my life here in CA with cactus trees here and there.
What a legend. So glad Joni's received her well deserved accolades albeit late in her career. There is only one Joni Mitchell.
We are so very lucky! Joni is such an other worldly talent. Thanks so much for posting .
Well said!
Your voice soothes like the touch of an angel.
Love this one. When Joni was still in the folk genre, my favorite time for Joni's music.
why was I born in 1989?! I wish I could have seen her playing live!!! I love her music so much. I wish there would be artists like her today. :(
listen to adrianne lenker!
@@maykon4617 WOW! I've listened to a lot of songs from Adrianne Lenker now and I'm spechless! Sooo beautiful. Thank you very much!!!
excellent taste girl

Us oldies have something over the young 'uns then! She was amazing. But there are live dvds.

"For she fears that one will ask her for eternity...." hauntingly sad.
beautiful mezzosoprano and soubrette voice here
Brought them to her senses, they have laughed inside her laughter.... Beautiful lines 💞💜✨🍃
I was at that concert. Still have the cassette I recorded on my little JVC tape recorder stuck inside my bra!
Superb in every way❤️
Joni the. Greatest
Open E this time what a rhythm
Happy Birthday Joni! 😃
wow
Next to Kate Bush and only Kate Bush, Joni is the greatest female singer on the planet.
I'd say singer-song-writer-musicians, though, as they each have been so much more than merely "singers." Both are truly original, brilliantly creative, & innovative, legendary musical artists...I love them both, too 👍💙🎶
Nope. She's great but
Abida Parveen
Oumou Sangare
Phoebe Snow
Nina Simone
Aretha
Ashwini Bhide
Minnie Riperton
Vashti Bunyan
etc etc
@@Strimbles
Nina sort of similar characters
I love Laura Nyro too, and they fit well as a singer-composer trinity for me
Your opinion has been noted. Reality is Kate Bush while extremely talented doesn't compare to Joni IMHO.
Nowt better

great song about a selfish woman

@@bonbon2355 afraid of commitment
@@alantracy6757 Not afraid. I just rather not bother!
Think you only got half song , she only being free as defence , does not want it that way. Later in song she is broken from being free
