Chappell Roan, Joni Mitchell, Allison Russell, Lucy Dacus, and Blake Mills jammed with Joni Mitchell and Elton John backstage at the Hollywood Bowl.

Two years after her surprise comeback at the Newport Folk Festival, 80-year-old Joni Mitchell played the first of two sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl.

Almost a decade after suffering from a brain aneurysm, Mitchell has slowly returned to performing Name a better surprise guest at a concert than Sir Elton John. Over the weekend, legendary folk singer Joni Mitchell performed a rare pair of shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Joni Mitchell's first L.A. show in 24 years featured 27 deep cuts and classics... and a 'F-- Trump' dig that got one of the night's standing ovations.

A proper headlining gig followed in June 2023 at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, and her soul-scraping turn at the 2024 Grammys allowed an even wider audience to experience the depth and gravitas Mitchell is still capable of bringing to a performance.

It was a case of two music legends. That was the awe-striking scenario when Elton John joined Joni Mitchell on “I’m Still Standing” during her “Joni Jam” concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night.
