I heard Judy Collins version first. Always loved it.

Joni Mitchell has certainly penned some great tunes.

She has. I never saw her live.

She is a favorite of mine...such a talent with song writing and that voice.

I like the Collins version better also. It is lighter and much more...sanguine.

to each their own. I like both but Joni's is the best

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I know many are not Joni Mitchell fans but she is a favorite of mine. This is when she was older and her voice had changed (too many years of smoking) . I think it is lovely.

She’s a special artist, a true poet

I like Joni Mitchell, just happen to like Judy Collins' version of "Both Sides Now" quite a bit better.

Oh yeah, nothing wrong about that. I like Collins as well. Saw her at Newport Folk Festival probably like 15 years ago. It was great

I like Folk-glad you were able to make such a cool -and famous-event.

She was touring with Stephen Stills a couple of years ago. I wanted to see that but did not. I love Stills. I wish he hadn't lost most of his hearing.

Nice.

Stills is an underrated guitar player, singer and song writer IMO.

Here are a couple from his Stills Alone album

Wow!

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Judy Collins doing a great Ian Tyson song

 

[aguineapig]

Joni signs a John Phillips song before she was Mitchell. The guy next to her raises an eyebrow when she sings the line " It being summer took of my shoes, And tried to wash off some of that dust and dirt" The original line was 'took off my shirt" but Joni didn't go there. Picks a guitar as good as anyone.

 

[Ladyfan]

One of my favorite Joni songs. I was (a few years ago) at an Alvin Ailey show with my daughter and they danced to this.

 

[Ladyfan]

A James Taylor song that Joni sang backup on (I believe they were dating at the time)

 

[JAD]

Son Of The Dirty South - Brantley Gilbert with Jelly Roll

Going to see Elton John tomorrow in Swansea, Wales. One of the last great legends of music. I cannot wait.

WOW. I have always wanted to go to Wales. Have a blast!

I like many of his songs. This one is special as my daughter danced (mostly ballet) for years

Funny, I heard this on the radio yesterday and thought about my daughter, who also was a dancer for many years.

My fiancée is Welsh (born/raised). We met while she was in the States. It’s a beautiful country! A bit rainy but I’ve loved it. First of many visits. I highly recommend. It’s my first UK trip. We did London before for a couple days. It was amazing seeing Big Ben up close! We did the tourist stuff so I saw Buckingham Palace, The Tower Bridge, etc etc.

I have been to Scotland twice. England once.

The first version of Madman was recorded in studio with Mick Ronson on guitar. The guitar heavy version was not included on the album deemed as "too heavy". Gus Dudgeon the producer of Madman said it sounded like
"Led Zeppelin playing Elton John". Ronson joined up with David Bowie shortly after this and the Spiders from Mars were born. I rather like this track but then again Ronno was my guitar hero.

Anyone familiar with Aiden Knight...chill stuff. Love it! Lady thinking you dig this guy.
