Joni Mitchell Wows Grammys With ‘Both Sides Now,’ Her First-Ever Performance at the Awards Show
Joni Mitchell made her first-ever appearance singing live on the Grammys, soon after winning her 10th Grammy Award.
Joni Mitchell has a nearly 60-year history of winning Grammys, but her first actual singing appearance on the awards show didn’t take place till Sunday night, as she sang “Both Sides Now” for her performance debut on the telecast. The Grammy performance came on the heels of a gradual return to live appearances Mitchell has made in the last two years — three concerts in which she was joined by Brandi Carlile and other friends in “Joni Jam” celebratory ensembles, soon to be followed by a pair of shows at the Hollywood Bowl this coming October. She made two more subsequent public concert appearances last year — an officially advertised “Joni Jam” at the Gorge in Washington state last summer, followed by a Brandi Carlile & Friends show at the Hollywood Bowl in the fall that largely turned out to be another Mitchell-centric ensemble gig.
