Joni Mitchell - Live at Carnegie Hall 1969

The Joni Mitchell Archive presents Joni Mitchell - Live At Carnegie Hall 1969, her previously unreleased debut performance at the famed music hall in NYC. It features renditions of some of her most beloved pieces, including "Both Sides Now", "Chelsea Morning", "Cactus Tree", "Both Sides Now", "Urge For Going" and more. The performance came almost a year after the release of Mitchell’s debut album, Song to a Seagull, and at 25 years old, it was her first major concert.

A singer, composer and lyricist of exceptional talent and unmatched influence, Joni Mitchell has crafted an extraordinary body of work spanning more than 40 years and is widely regarded as one of the brightest musical lights of recent generations. Fans, fellow musicians and critics have delighted in an ever-evolving creative journey, with songs both universal and profoundly personal. Her music has become a standard to which others are compared and which many aspire to copy, but its inventiveness and ineffable spirit make it decidedly her own. Explore the musical magnificence of Joni Mitchell.
