Joni Mitchell and Annie Lennox Support Brandi Carlile at Hollywood Bowl Show

Joni Mitchell and Annie Lennox joined Brandi Carlile during her cover of “Ladies of the Canyon" on Saturday night

Joni Mitchell and Annie Lennox teamed up with Brandi Carlile for an unforgettable night of music.

On Saturday, the singer hosted a show entitled “Brandi Carlile and Friends" at the Hollywood Bowl, and true to the show’s name, she brought a couple of her famous friends onto the stage, including rare appearances from Lennox, 68, and Mitchell, 79.

During the Los Angeles show’s finale the trio of acclaimed folk singers joined together to perform some of Mitchell’s greatest hits, including “Circle Game, “Ladies of the Canyon” and “Shine." In a highlight of the evening, Carlile, 42, asked her friend and "hero," Mitchell, if they could sing “Shine” together.

Carlile asked, “Can we sing my favorite song that you’ve ever written? ‘Shine’?” — which she prefaced by saying, “I promise not to get too used to asking you favors.” Mitchell obliged and replied, “Okey-doke,” to the evening’s host.

In addition to performing duets with Mitchell, Carlile also covered the songstress’ “Woodstock” and “I Belong to You.” Ahead of her performance of “I Belong to You,” she told the audience that it was the first Mitchell song that “changed” both her songwriting and her as a person.

“I realized I didn’t know how to be vulnerable and honest, it changed my songwriting. But it didn’t just change my songwriting, it changed me, and prepared me for this better half of my life,” said Carlile, per Variety.

“And the first thing I did when I embraced and learned the Gospel of ‘Blue,’ besides absolutely deep-diving into everything Joni Mitchell ever wrote, and read every interview and made up for lost time, was the first thing I did was I attempted to write a love song about real love and vulnerability, and take myself off the high horse," she continued.

The evening also marked a rare live appearance from Lennox, who joined Carlile in performances of “Why,” “No More ‘I Love You’s'” and the Eurythmics tune “Love Is a Stranger.” During the mini-set, the “Sweet Dreams” singer thanked Carlile for putting together the show, to which Carlile echoed her gratitude, stating she wouldn’t be a performer without Lennox’s influence on the music industry, reported Variety.

The October show follows Mitchell and Carlile's 2022 performance at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I., where Carlile joined Mitchell on stage to perform “Joni Jams,” a complete setlist of the 79-year-old’s greatest hits.

As the concert wrapped up, Mitchell said to Carlile,  “Thank you for doing this for me. You make me feel so cool!” and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Mitchell ahead of her 80th birthday next month.

Ahead of the recent 2023 performances, the aforementioned Newport Folk Festival performance with Carlile was the “A Case of You” singer’s first public performance since 2013, and her first full set since she headlined a benefit concert in 2002.

These recent performances also follow after the singer suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015.

The "Both Sides, Now" singer told CBS News in 2022, that after her aneurysm, she had to teach herself to play the guitar again, among other skills that had to be relearned.

"I'm learning," she said. "I'm looking at videos that are on the net to see where I put my fingers, you know. It's amazing what an aneurysm knocks out – how to get out of chair! You don't know how to get out of a bed. You have to learn all these things by rote again. I was into water ballet as a kid, and I forgot how to do the breaststroke. Every time I tried it, I just about drowned, you know?. So, a lot of going back to infancy almost. You have to relearn everything."
