PBS broadcast a tribute to Elton John and Bernie Taupin last night. The night's highlight was a performance of "I'm Still Standing" by Joni Mitchell, with backing vocals from Annie Lennox and Brandi Carlile. Introducing Mitchell's cover, Carlile says: "She 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." Variety has a clip from the performance here, along with a review of the show.
