Joni Mitchell - 30 years of Joni's Music on CBS This Morning Show (1-3-96)

Joni discusses her early songwriting, the music industry and takes audience questions on this morning show special. She plays "Just Like This Train" and "Facelift".
(I see that some folks are complaining that the audio is out-of-sync with the video. I don't know why that happened - I just checked the original 1 gig file I uploaded to youtube and there is no sync problem in the original. If anyone believes they can repair this, please contact me and I'll send you the original file.)

Timeless artist ,she always reminds me of early pioneers ,what a star ,what a voice what a song writer ,what beautiful hair .

[@Anthony-030]

Joni Mitchell is my all-time favourite singer-songwriter

[@markdarnell614]

In case anyone is wondering, the drummer playing with Joni is the fantastic Mr. Brian Blade, from Shreveport, La. - He has played with Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Daniel Lanois, and is THE Drummer with Wayne Shorter! - and also leads his own band - FELLOWSHIP, plays guitar, and sings, and Co-writes material with Ms. Mitchell. He is a Master Drummer!

[@michaeljbrant]

'wish they had put more of him in the mix!

[@peteluxx]

i was just asking myself whether it WAS him... I thought so cos drumming of this quality is nearly as hard to find as joni mitchell's music...

[@CCOCCARO]

He and Joni made a whole orchestra for “Just Like This Train.” Dovetailed like marquetry.

[@SuperC888]

Yes I knew that but, thank you for pointing it out for others

[@CCOCCARO]

Yeah I’m gonna cook me some apple oink. That may be the best live performance of “Just Like This Train” ever and I’ve seen a lot of them. Her guitar arrangement is so magnificently orchestral you think there’s a whole band there but it’s just her and Blade. Phenomenal.

now this is what a TRUE celebrity looks like - indeed truly celebrated as substance not just style

[@petemavus2948]

Indeed

[@popeye1250]

A musical genious! There's not many like Joni on the entire planet. I've liked Joni since the first time I heard her in Newport '69? Very sensual, beautiful music. Thanks Joni !

[@michaelbyrd7883]

Joni's one of my top 10 favorite human beings of all time.

[@brenda9990]

Joni...you'll always be my favorite artist. I grew with you and spent many hours listening to you. I know you've had recent health issues. I wish you the best as no one can replace you in my heart. You are truly inspirational.

[@petemavus2948]

Amen 🙏

[@Vejur9000]

By any definition, this is a musical genius of the highest order.

[@user-rq2mr5oq2s]

oh just seeing her sitting there with those beautiful landscapes in her mind, maneuvering the questions with differing depths and qualities with clear and therefore amusing answers (amusing both to the people who don’t really like people being eccentric, and to the ones who do).. it’s quite overwhelming to me and I think I love her and I am endlessly inspired by her

[@petemavus2948]

I love everything you said with the exclusion of " eccentric " if in reference to Joni, any inclusion of the word seems to appear dismissive on some level which I cannot be a party to. The Lady's ART(S) are impeccable.

[@valleygirl2530]

@@petemavus2948 You’re right - “eccentric” is a terrible qualifier kind of like “bohemian” - “only for you weirdos out there” - not for the regular Real People.

[@theowheatley5133]

a pretty good morning, your school's closed and joni's on TV

[@jtpinnyc]

Gotta admit it's always a little jarring to see an organic artist like Joni Mitchell set against the corporate network cheesiness in that studio, but she's always interesting to listen to anyway and her singing and guitar playing here are amazing.

[@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829]

Her voice is great!

[@davidcorbett540]

She represents my eternal muse ource and when 'The River the Joni Letters' record won the Grammy for Album of the Year I was genuinely elated Joni is a dear friend from the infinite past or Kuan Ganjo..

It's a shame the audio doesn't line up with the video.... Otherwise, thank you so much for this!

[@johnlittle7473]

Wow, kudos to CBS for not bleeping her in "Face Lift." That almost seems exceedingly weird for American network TV.

[@cboldt65]

Joni was a good sport about the inanity.

[@petemavus2948]

[@johntatum8088]

Joni looks older in her High School yearbook, than in her entire life...:) She was an old soul her whole life...and still is...Joni ...a true artist. All inspired by Rock man inoff...go figure.

[@hornerinf]

What a lucky audience.

[@debrasimms6821]

of all the music in the world,it was during the sixties when music sent a message to the powers that be,to stop a meaningless war in Vietnam, fast forward to NOW, we are still fighting? Let's put POWERFUL SPEAKERS on Humvees and Everywhere possible and PLAY MUSIC,PLAY THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF MAN. Perhaps people will Stop fighting and Start DANCING in the streets.? it's worth a try and Thank you Joni Mitchell for being the seed to my understanding of just how Powerful MUSIC is😉

[@michealcurrie8272]

Joni, Has equally interesting body of art works that portraits her visions, aspirations and deep sensitivitie.

[@burlingtonpark4136]

When she plays her guitar,it sounds like she has more than just one fine drummer with her. She is such a wonderful artist. She seemed happy in this video and if so,then she's right: happiness is the best facelift!! But itz an irrelevant issue concerning joni whose inner and outer beauty remains timeless.

[@edwardreisdorf7313]

my question would have been 'can we hang out?]

[@Dougdenslowe714]

Is this out of sync or is just me.........?

[@jamiewalker6866]

so joni made alot of the studio sounds on her recordings herself from hearing this guitar and her voice there was minimal sound behind her in studio work
