She’s amazing
Tears thru both of those performances
I heard and fell in love with what I call soft rock because of Joni Michell. I also recently (about the last 8 years now- 3 time cancer challenge) really encouraged to preserver and fight to keep playing piano and organ. I’m pushing 76. Thank you Joni❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🏾🙏🏾

As an oldster like Joni, I grew up on her music and had all her albums. I am so happy for her to see her back on her feet again. Used to see her at Crustacean in Beverly Hills but I've never had the courage to say hello. Great to see her back, thank God.
God she's still so attractive such a good looking woman God it was so fun to watch this interview
Good report. Joni was amazing. Brandi,Joni,musicians, singers,crew thank you.☘
Time to keep going, Joni!
God bless Joni's heart. There is nothing cooler than an old lady with a guitar.
It was a true privilege to watch Joni Mitchell perform again. Her phenomenal talent far transcends her age and any lingering effects from her illness. It's great to know she's on the mend. The best part of this report is seeing younger people responding to the music of these icons with much the same emotion as my 1970s generation felt when it was new and fresh. I have over a dozen Joni Mitchell CDs and albums and am always discovering something unexpected in her music 50 years after the first hearing. And it goes without saying that Paul Simon's music literally touches every emotional chord. I'd encourage younger people especially to do a deep dive into the catalogs of both of these artists; there's such an incredible wealth of outstanding music, and it holds up beautifully after all this time. Thanks for featuring this amazing and emotional performance.
Amazing
Paul and Joni are still way above almost all the acts out there..
Full of tears hearing her voice and seeing her. I was a lonely young adoptee when I heard Green. She was the voice of my lost mother. 💗
Of course she was using a Parker fly
astonishing and astounding person

Good morning Joni!!!
I am shocked and devastated that the ROCK & ROLL Hall of Fame have been disrespectful of Joni!!! SHAME ON THEM!!! Joni has been a huge contributor in music and love!!!!
I wish Brandi would leave her alone…
Wow! Unbelievable, incredible would’ve loved to have been there, what a moment, she really has true grit to have not only been able to sing but play too. I hope they air the televised concert over here in the UK.
What a beautiful spirit and what a gift she blessed us with ❤️
If Joni can teach herself after an aneurysm at nearly 80 years old, I can certainly take the initiative, focus, and teach myself as well. I love you Joni!
Joni’s great. Her songs never get old.
Its crazy that she smoked so heavily her whole life and yet has the best skin in her late 70's. So many smokers have leathery old looking skin. She looks great for surviving morgellons and a brain anuerism.
Goddess
Wow, got tears from seeing Joni Mitchell performing. Also love Brandi Carlile❤️
Bless this lady. Looks and sounds incredible for what she’s been through.
OMG!!!!! I am a girl from the 60’s and Joni is my Hero!!!!! God Bless !!!🎶🎶💖♥️🎶⭐️
Us Canadians Rock!
We all love her because her songs describe our lives. As different as we all are, Joni's music and poetry brings us all together. Joni, you are an eternal flame. One light. Light that is one though the lamps be many. Thank you, Joni, for every note and syllable.
