Even in an ever-changing world, there are certain constants.
“Well I was wrong.
She can sing,” Mitchell’s old friend David Crosbytweetedwhen the clips hit social media.

“Thank you god.
Our world is little better tonight.”
But Mitchell didn’t just sing.
She also busted out a guitar for “Just Like This Train.”
“She just wants to sit there and drink her wine and listen to music, right?
But it didn’t turn out like that,” Carlile told CBS of the Joni Jams.
“She started singing, and then she started playing.
“I’ve never been nervous about performing in front of an audience,” said Mitchell.
“But I wanted to be good, and I wasn’t sure I could be.
But I didn’t sound too bad tonight.”
Watch the clips above, and celebrate that a legend is still with us.
