This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It's amazing when people criticize the odd stray note. People aren't accustomed to hearing actual live music anymore. "Performances" nowadays are so processed that it ceases to be human. Britany could not pull this off standing alone in front of a mic on her best day. Joni has always been a fave and this vid is one of the reasons!

To compare Joni Mitchell and Brittany Spears in the same breath is blasphemous.

Full of grace, beauty and talent. Joni was great, greater than she thinks. Too bad cigarettes ruined that angelic voice... Sad, but we still have this early material to enjoy.
Anything performed ...( 1 month ago by billyguns2)
Anything performed by my goddess Joni is worth hearing, but I think her performance of this song on the Johnny Cash Show from 1969 is better, more spontaneous and more profound. She also is truer to the notes she originally wrote there; here she improvises some variations on the original.

Ok, I cannot stand ...( 3 weeks ago by SarahRachel59)
Ok, I cannot stand the type of material she likes to sing. So down, so sad, so blah. She has a fantastic voice, and she wrote some fantastic songs that others sing, but I just can't listen to her for too long, it's depressing. BUT, even so, to compare her to BRITNEY SPEARS?? Are you KIDDING? Im sorry, I have to agree with a previous poster. That's blasphemous, besides being grossly disgusting.
Joni has some ...( 2 weeks ago by erod1944)
Joni has some almost imperceptable little glitches in her voice that are so personal and beautiful that they just wrap around a person. Even on this somewhat "Lo-Fi" recording, she takes my breath away.
