From the same awards show as the Rush performance, the fretless playing is sublime, anybody know her name? Cpplaysbass found her name, Ganessa James.

Juno tribute to Joni, killing Fretless
- Thread starter jerry
- Start date
"A Case of You" was the first song I learned on dulcimer after hearing it on Miles of Aisles. 
Agreed, very nice playing on the fretless! I am also curious to know who the bass player is. Did some Googling but can't seem to find the answer.
The unparalleled composer, songstress, and performer. A musical icon forever. Such an amazing and historic artist. So blessed to live in the time of Joni Mitchell!
This Juno tribute is far better than I imagined. (Was expecting a Roland synth-based tribute : )

on my system the bass was prominent, just below the vocals, but the first 2 songs were all above the 10th fret and very slow so you might think it's another instrument, perfect intonation, some more fancy licks come later. She's wearing some tightly braided hair.
Joni has been reharmonizing for years now as her range has dipped, and she doesn't have the sublime falsetto of her youth. Her re-recording of Both Sides Now is in a lower key.
I actually thought that too before I posted.
the bass mix on my headphones was excellent too, it was the super tasty playing underneath the first few songs that caught me ear, so beautiful. The Junk Awards looked nice compared to the bombast of American awards shows.
I would have expected them to look like trash...
I'll see myself out.
I absolutely love Joni and can't watch these newer shows of her without crying.
Thanks for posting this, I have loved Joni for 50 years.
Add me to the list of those dripping tears.

Sensible approach. Last time I saw Elton John perform he was sticking to the notes he could hit and busking the rest which is perfectly acceptable to me. There are few things worse than someone attempting to hit notes that they lost decades ago.

Robert Plant did likewise when I saw him with Alison Krauss way back when they first toured together.
I wholeheartedly agree about Plant adapting new ground for older material over trying to keep doing the cock-rock thing.
