“Still Alive & Well . . : Joni Mitchell’s Return To Performing

Recently, Joni Mitchell returned to the stage for her first official concert in twenty years. This is amazing because it was assumed that Joni was finished with live performing and her very presence on stage was nothing short of a miracle. In 2015, Mitchell suffered a brain aneurysm that not only robbed her of her ability to play and perform music, but also forced her to re-learn how to walk and talk.
Then out of nowhere, Joni Mitchell makes a surprise appearance at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival where she was joined by a host of celebrity friends, including Brandi Carlile.

Earlier this month Joni Mitchell played an epic, 24 song performance at the Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, Washington. As it was at Newport, Joni was supported by Brandi Carlile, Annie Lennox, Allison Russell, Marcus Mumford, Sarah McLachlan, Lucius, Celisse and others. Between Mitchell’s own singing, the musicians on stage took turns performing her songs.
