Joni Mitchell makes triumphant surprise return to Newport Folk Festival
The closing set at this weekend's Newport Folk Festival, in Newport, Rhode Island, was billed as "Brandi Carlile & Friends." But when Carlile's surprise guest walked gingerly onto the stage Sunday, returning to the festival after 53 years, the crowd erupted. Then, supported by an all-star cast of musicians, 78-year-old Joni Mitchell gave her first public performance since a brain aneurysm nearly killed her in 2015.Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
But until rehearsals Friday night, no one was sure she would feel up to it, including Mitchell herself.
