Joni Mitchell covers “I’m Still Standing" in tribute to Elton John and Bernie Taupin
During the PBS broadcast of a tribute special for Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Joni Mitchell performed a cover of the 1983 song, "I'm Still Standing".
The evening featured performances from Metallica, Brandi Carlile and Annie Lennox – who both joined Mitchell on stage – as well as Elton John himself, who performed the final three songs, “Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters,” “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” and “Your Song.”
Introducing the performance of the song that "holds special meaning for her", Carlile said Mitchell "was given the green light by Elton and Bernie to change some of the lyrics to fit her, which is honestly the most Joni Mitchell thing I think I’ve ever heard of.”
