I did. I really just did. And she's creative as hell. That's what I love. No kidding.
And a huge ball gown and a tiara and huge high heels.
Really? Yeah, but it was very easy. There wasn't anything I didn't like. All the ten songs that we chose were the obvious songs. And the rest, they're okay. The ten that we had were fantastic. So no, I mean, no, I would never say that. I mean, all the songs she gave to me were amazing.
There's no more touring for me, and I'm very happy about that.
Yeah, we've made a video for this, and it's really great. David LaChapelle did the video. He did the album sleeve. Yeah, of course we'll do videos, and of course we'll do some TVs, and we may even play on a TV show. I love that. And Sean, how's your piano playing coming along?
Yeah, he won a Tony.
I used to go around to Sean's house in Hancock Park and used to play the piano there. It was fantastic.
It is. He's still there.
Bosendorfer, that's the best piano. Yeah. Apart from Yamaha. Because you've got the extra notes down the end of it.
Extra notes? Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Bosendorfer. German. Oh, you have a lovely Bosendorfer. Yeah. If I had a dollar. And this one has extra secret keys. This one has three extra keys. It's longer. Of course we do.
Dodger Stadium would be my favorite when she sang Don't Let the Song Go Down on Me because Lady Gaga had done it before and it was incredible and she wasn't available, so I asked Brian to do it. She was cheaper. Much cheaper. Much cheaper. Cheaper, but she destroyed the song.
It was incredible.
Not many people can say that, can they?
Yes, He'll Have to Go, yeah. And Joni sang Love Potion No. 9 and Summertime. No way. Yes. And music got Joni back together again, as well as her physio. But this girl here to my left, who used to instigate Joni jams, where people used to come up, you had to play, you all had to sing in front of Joni Mitchell, which is terrifying. That's a lot.
But it was one of the greatest things, and you'd have Herbie Hancock up there, you'd have Chaka Khan, you'd have Bonnie Raitt, you'd have... You. No.
Paul McCartney, yeah.
Well, an incredible record. But she did it. I was sitting next to Joni at Disney Hall when she did it. And it was faultless. And I just said, you know, balls of steel, it's ridiculous. And without a teleprompter. I would never have done that without a teleprompter. And it was the most incredibly... brave and courageous thing to do. And then she did it at Carnegie Hall as well. It was phenomenal.
And Joni couldn't have been happier. She resuscitated Joni.
It's hard to keep all the lies together, yeah. Could you imagine? I get requests from the audience, can you play Piano Man? And I go, wrong guy. No way. Wrong guy. No way you do not. Someone asked me to play Piano Man once, yeah.
