Joni Mitchell has had some dramatic health problems in recent years -- there was a brain aneurysm in 2015 from which she's been slowly recovering, for example - and so she did not walk the red carpet for her birthday concert in Los Angeles. But she did sit front-row, and apparently came out on stage to reprise "Big Yellow Taxi" with some soft vocals and some help. It sounded like a great concert, and I say that as someone who hasn't historically listened to a ton of Joni Mitchell but who cries every time "Both Sides Now" comes on because Emma Thompson in *Love, Actually*, made me feel it in my bones. Seal sang it at this concert and it was pretty good; his upper register is perfect for it. I don't usually link to bootlegs, but this was a two-nights-only, rapidly sold-out affair, not a Broadway show or anything, so: [please enjoy](https://www.stereogum.com/2021922/joni-75-joni-mitchell-norah-jones-seal-kris-kristofferson/video/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
