Look, apparently Brandi Carlile regularly covers “Creep” by Radiohead at live shows and sometimes has Celisse (whose name I just learned) play electric guitar during it and, holy cow, even this less-than-stellar concert recording is still great.
This video also includes “The Story” which a lot of people associate with Sara Ramirez from Grey’s Anatomy because she covered the song on the show and…like…Sara Ramirez is lovely and has a very strong and wonderful voice, but Brandi’s version is just…special. (She did not write the song; one of her writer partners did. But I believe she was the first to record it.)

Song Review: Joni Mitchell - “Summertime” (Live, July 24, 2022)
Accompanied by Ben Lusher’s jazz-lounge piano, Celisse’s blues-club electric guitar and a cast of singers including Lucius, Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile and others, Joni Mitchell declared: the livin’ is easy at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival.
That Mitchell delivered the line from “Summertime” without irony was itself ironic. Then 78, seated and surrounded by a huge supporting cast, Mitchell was performing in public for the first time in two decades.
And she pulled it off. The voice isn’t anywhere near familiar. But Mitchell’s ability as a singer is intact. And she managed to use what’s left of her instrument for all it was worth.
No one can blame her friends and collaborators for being overly enthused; however, their attempts to inject themselves detract from, rather than enhance, the performance. For while Mitchell may be diminished, she is not derelict.
“Summertime” follows “Both Sides Now” from the forthcoming (July 28) release of At Newport, which presents Mitchell’s surprise, July 24, 2022, appearance in its entirety.

Marcus Mumford performing “House of the Rising Sun”. with Trombone Shorty, Jon Batiste and Celisse.
________________________
The House of the Rising Sun
Traditional
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

Album Review: Joni Mitchell - At Newport
Joni Mitchell laughing with joy is among the sweetest of sounds heard on At Newport.
That laughter is often and unfortunately, however, cut when the album inexplicably fades between tracks and/or head cheerleader Brandi Carlile inserts herself unnecessarily into the proceedings.
At Newport is, thus, less a Joni Mitchell album and more a celebration of Joni Mitchell. And in that regard, it is hugely successful.
It documents Mitchell’s first gig in more than two decades with a cast of musical friends and admirers at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. Led by Carlile, the Joni Jam band includes Lucius, guitarists Taylor Goldsmith and Celisse, pianist Ben Lusher, percussionists Marcus Mumford and Matt Chamberlain, Allison Russell on clarinet and others.
Everyone sings.
Including, of course, Mitchell, whose voice has deepened and become less agile. But being a vocalist extraordinaire, Mitchell knows how to work her diminished instrumental and coax all it has to give, even as she struggles to keep up on uptempo ensemble pieces such as “Carey.”
Her 2015 brain aneurysm be damned, the 78-in-2022 Mitchell shines on ballads such as “Amelia,” “Both Sides Now” and “Summertime.” She even picks up an electric guitar for “Just Like this Train” to the delight of the appreciative audience, which roars with approval every time Mitchell nails a note.
And even when she doesn’t.
For her part, Mitchell is tickled, cackling between - and occasionally during - numbers, recalling Hejira as among her favorite albums and offering support when her collaborators take over, as Lucius do on “Big Yellow Taxi” and Celisse does on “Help Me.”

It's a relationship you can't describe in a word. To simply call it friendship isn't quite right.
[...] It's impossible to describe it in a word, but it's a very strong bond. Lelouch as a kid, Lelouch in school, Lelouch as Zero -- only Suzaku sees all of it. Kallen, Nunnally, C.C., even -- none of them sees all of [Lelouch]. Playing together, running away, living, killing each other, even the knowledge of their having killed their own fathers. In terms of revealing who they are, only these two are completely naked. This is probably why the two of them were able to team up in the end.
Ōkouchi Ichirō in an interview for Continue vol. 42 (translation by Celiss Galvea)
