I totally agree with Randy Wilson's comment here. In fact so much emotive expression here. Baffled at the comments about lack of emotion. Wonderful interpretation by her.

I love her storytelling at the beginning. The full orchestral backing makes for a unique live sound.

WONDERFUL STORY..LOVE SONG..

[@crwdfwtx]

The comments saying she lacks passion here are frankly mystifying to me

[@EthanLondon96]

Do you have the full show?

Applause and talking at beginning of song is annoying.But Paint a starry night again is now a often Jonilovers lament.

I'm a huge Joni fan but the flaws here are for a very obvious reason. Joni has been ill for years with polio but keeps it very hush hush. She is also a heavy smoker. Her voice has been sadly robbed of range and strength by both these factors. She sounds almost gasping in places. I think had her voice been the golden instrument of her prime the orchestration would have been gorgeous. But here it seems to just highlight the ravages. Still love her though.

+Stephen -- OMG, that makes me very sad. Considering everything that Joni has endured, whether her personal health issues or dealing with insipid record executives, she is a real trouper (and a bonafide national treasure). We can claim her even though she is a native Canadian.
