EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Joni Mitchell’s remarkable return to the public eye—following a 2015 brain aneurysm—is raging right on. In this clip from a PBS special, Mitchell sings “The Circle Game” alongside Graham Nash, Brandi Carlile, James Taylor, and more.
—following a 2015 brain aneurysm that temporarily robbed her of speech and movement—is raging right on, as the iconic singer-songwriter has delivered another rare live performance and been awarded another honor for her musical mastery.
In this exclusive clip from the PBS special, Mitchell—looking resplendent in a blue velvet dress and gripping a gold microphone—stands front and center among the group of all-star performers as they sing the chorus of “The Circle Game,” from her 1970 album. Then, the group drops out as Mitchell goes solo on the third verse, which remains an exemplar of her poetic songwriting: “Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now / Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.
“We didn’t add ‘The Circle Game’ until a couple of days before the show,” he said. “I was looking for a finale that would bring everyone together after Joni’s performance of ‘Summertime,’ and we had not yet put ‘Circle Game’ into the show. At the one rehearsal we had for ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ I brought it up, first to the women in that number who loved it, but purposely we never rehearsed it prior to the show.
