Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

[zarahemla467]

One of the most talented singer-songwriter of the 70's. Check out Counting Crows' studio cover.

@weealn34 Your grammar is so terrible I can hardly understand what you are asking me or why you felt the need to ask it three times in a row, while also managing to reply to yourself in the process. Anyway, in my opinion, the music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's is some of the greatest music of all time. I think it is immensely better than any of the music that is on the radio today, with the exception of Adele, who is an incredible singer and talented songwriter. Does that answer your question?

[jessiet02]

@haloreachhookblade you must not know anything about REAL talent.

[weealn34]

@jessiet02 so what is real talent Simon !!

[weealn34]

@jessiet02 If your a Girl then i'm sorry but what is real talent and why listen to her ??

[weealn34]

@weealn34 You must be so young !! still wet behind yer ears , My taste is huge in music & would never slate another tryin to make a crust so you must tell us , who has talent ?????

[sonnetmartin]

In my joni mood

[haloreachhookblade]

weird tone of voice. i perfer counting crows

[qwerty93764]

its so and good so true i loved this song since i was a kid

[puddypuss]

it always slightly annoys me that it takes the audience longer than it should to recognise the song, or maybe they did earlier ,and thought the ettiquette was to wait. or, did they need to applaud early at all?

[KawaiiNekoABC]

I like how back then the song always seemed different each time it was performed :)

[docOld55]

I don't know when that was recorded, but her pipes sounded pretty good to me!

[weealn34]

I am a 90's raver but this song tugs at me big time , it's been covered loads but Joni is king , would love to meet her in her hay day , i,m now a dad and i'm letting my kids listen to her , god bless you Joni

[mucic4life217]

Luv it. It's so scary. She literally predicted the future.

[alfventress1]

i hope they got planning permission!

[frenchexperience]

@alfventress1 they got it because they knew someone in the local authority (b'stards)

[Link90]

Sarcasticgamer used this song

[TheDesperatehousewiv]

I love how when she starts to sing the crowd claps :)

[Justinpatsfanatic]

This is the worst of all the versions...not hating, just my opinion. I like counting crows

[TheDesperatehousewiv]

Omg I'm in love with her voice!!!!!

[jasannaservices]

Anyone who loves Joni Mitchell has to watch this....

[karolinahes]

Surprisingly good video and sound quality considering it was filmed in the 70's. Great vid, thanks!

[3harrypotterfreaks]

I like this song but (no offense) I don't really like her singing style. Really high and all. But I REALLY LIKE THE SONG.

[imapapercrane]

Just wondering- but I thought Bob Dylan wrote "big yellow taxi". Am I mistaken?

[verandahs01]

@imapapercrane according to my chords and lyrics book : Words and Music by Joni Mitchell

[3harrypotterfreaks]

@imapapercrane yes you are mistaken sorry

[nochannel123]

This song is contagious - a beautiful day and you're driving through the city and you realize that yet another building is going up - can't help but sing this song !

[nyxs60]

Unbelievably good... No wonder it's been covered. Loved all her stuff...

[CutexLilxAllison]

favorite song <3

[nabian8735]

Just amazing.

[ZonyMashGroovyLady]

Open G Tuning????

[chettonex]

@ZonyMashGroovyLady Yeah. Joni played a few songs on Open G. Once you tune your guitar the songs are pretty easy to play :). Feel free to try it yourself

[MARxSx]

@chettonex but this one has an open d tuning with a capo on the 4th fret

[MatthewRoseWixx]

What ever happen to the good days when people paid to see a person with his/her guitar sing their OWN songs and just love the stories they had to share? Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Arlo Gutherie, etc. I am also a 90's child but to the heart I am a Earth Child. Peace, Love and Understanding <3

[tskehan1]

@MatthewRoseWixx You have just summed up everything that is wrong with a lot of modern music/society & what was right about dylan, mitchell etc. music/society. You can see it, I can see it but most of today's citizens don't even want to see it.

[wdj1200]

Is this where Cinderella got "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" from?

[MindCrazedBanjo]

not really a good idea to tune up with a capo on, great singer and a great song.

[evade531]

this song kinda fits how i feel

[tskehan1]

Fantastic...I love you joni!

[acms96]

Her voice is perfection. <3

[Summer1988ification]

One of my favourite Joni Mitchell songs.

[EarthManXTrees]

This is great and it's true they pave paradise to build stupid stores n stuff

[Grandgousiers]

@EarthManXTrees ouais

[keydet72]

Joni at her very best.

[Major2219]

Janet Jackson remade this song back in 1997.

[MacMan282]

These lyrics are applicable in almost any situation. Wish i was this insightful...

[poepiebanaan]

Kinda like the Counting Crows's better.

[weealn34]

This song by Joni is in my top 5 greatest songs of all time , and i'm a 90s raver !!

[kitsmcdraw]

@weealn34 me to, love oldskool rave and LOVE this tune. Think ravers and hippies are the same just partied at different times with different drugs..........

[SaulBlake1]
