Joni Mitchell made her official return to the stage Saturday with an epic, all-star celebration that dug deep into her storied catalog. Our review from the Gorge's Brandi Carlile-hosted 'Joni Jam':
Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile perform in concert during “Joni Jam” honoring Joni Mitchell at Gorge Amphitheatre on June 10, 2023 in George, Washington.Her best line of the night came when she talked about doing Newport Folk Fest last year at 79, the first time she’d been back there since she was 25. “Viva la old age,” she said, drawing laughter and applause. This was Mitchell enjoying her old age, her gravy.
As Carlile joked, or half-joked, singing for Joni Mitchell is “Fucking terrifying.” So no one was going to fail to live up to being invited to be part of history.
