I’m curious to see which of Mitchell’s many famous fans might show up announced tonight, though the real attraction, of course, is Joni herself — an artist I and many others assumed we’d never see perform again. — mikaelwood More on our live blog:
In a rare interview, Joni Mitchell talks with Cameron Crowe about the state of her singing voice and the making of “Blue,” 50 years after its release.Greetings from the Gorge, where Joni fever is running hot enough that a woman playing “California” on a dulcimer in the parking lot had drawn a considerable crowd of enthusiastic onlookers.
I’m curious to see which of Mitchell’s many famous fans might show up announced tonight, though the real attraction, of course, is Joni herself — an artist I and many others assumed we’d never see perform again. — Mikael WoodI’ve always heard that you need to see a show at the Gorge before you die, and upon driving into this remote Washington venue, it’s immediately obvious why.
The crowd is boomer heavy, and eclectic outfits abound. I saw one woman wearing a hippie ensemble that they definitely sell at Halloween stores. The ladies, who I deemed the Beret Brigade, ordered an array of multi-colored chapeaus well in advance in the show. The group of Mitchell fans, who range in age from 50 to 79, decided to rent a house near the Gorge even before they’d secured tickets to the show.But when the tickets became available to the public, none of the women were able to secure one. As it turned out, the owner of the house they’d rented had his own box at the venue and offered it to them — at face value.
“We could hear them playing [Crosby Stills & Nash’s] ‘Helplessly Hoping’ and [Simon and Garfunkel’s] ‘The Sound of Silence’ from our house during soundcheck, so maybe they’ll be surprise guests,” said Middendorf. — A.K.Even 1,000 miles from L.A., the stars are turning out for Mitchell. As Carlile walked onto the stage, I spotted Paul Scheer and wife June Diane Raphael rushing to their seats, as well as “Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy.
