If someone were to speak ill about Joni Mitchell or her music, I might have to decapitate that man. You see, I am a fan. Even more than Joan Baez, Mitchell seemed the true believer, the real deal, bound to be disappointed by everyone and everything around her.

At the 50-second mark of this video footage from 1969’s Big Sur Folk Festival, she sings a breathtaking version of “Get Together” with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and John Sebastian performing backing vocals. It’s a song of peace and brotherhood, and it will sound beautiful to your disrespectful head as it rolls down Fifth Avenue.
