Tonight (January 31), a impressive roster of music stars will take part in two FireAid benefit concerts that will be held simultaneously at Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum near Los Angeles.
Among the many artists set to perform at the Kia Forum are Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash. It’s not known if any of these music legends will be collaborating at the concert, although if Graham and Stephen do hit the stage together, it would mark the first time they’d performed live with each other since Crosby, Stills & Nash sang at the National Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C., in December 2015.
Mitchell has had a musical association with Stills and Nash that dates back to early in her recording career. Of course, she also was involved in a romantic relationship with Nash from 1968 to 1970.
In honor of their participation in FireAid, here’s a look at the shared musical history of Joni, Stephen, and Graham.
Stills’ and Nash’s Contributions to Mitchell’s Albums
Around 1967 and early ’68, Mitchell briefly dated David Crosby, who became an early supporter of Joni’s work. Crosby produced Mitchell’s 1968 debut album, Song to a Seagull. Stills, who would soon team up with David in CSN, played bass on one song from the album—“Night in the City.”
Stills played a bigger role on Mitchell’s second album, Clouds (1969), playing bass and guitar on multiple tracks. Clouds featured Joni’s early classic “Chelsea Morning” and “Both Sides, Now.”
Crosby, Stills, and Nash all appeared on a famous song from Mitchell’s third album, Ladies of the Canyon (1970). Credited as the Lookout Mountain United Downstairs Choir, the trio sang backing vocals on “The Circle Game.”
Mitchell’s fourth album, Blue (1971), is widely considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Stills is featured on bass and guitar on the song “Carey.”
Blue also featured a number of intimate songs inspired by Joni’s relationship with Graham, including “My Old Man” and “River.”
Stills and Nash both appear on separate tracks on Mitchell’s fifth album For the Roses, which was released in 1972. Stephen played multiple instruments on “Blonde in the Bleachers,” while Graham played harmonica on “Blonde in the Bleachers.”
Nash and Crosby contributed backing vocals to “Free Man in Paris,” a hit single from Mitchell’s sixth studio album, Court and Spark (1974).
Graham and David also lent their vocal talents to “In France They Kiss on Main Street,” the lead track from Joni’s seventh studio album, The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975).
Mitchell’s Other Collabs or Musical Associations with Stills and Nash
Mitchell, of course, also wrote one of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s biggest hits, “Woodstock.” The song was inspired by the famous 1969 festival, although Joni did not attend or take part in the event. As for CSNY (Neil Young had joined Crosby, Stills & Nash shortly after the trio had released their self-titled debut album), Woodstock was one of their first gigs.
CSNY’s rocking cover of “Woodstock” was heard in Oscar-winning 1970 documentary about the festival, and the song reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Another one of CSNY’s most popular tunes, the Nash-penned folk ballad “Our House,” was inspired by a romantic day Graham spent with Joni.
Mitchell also sang backing vocals on “Another Sleep Song,” a track from Nash’s second solo album, Wild Tales (1974).
In addition, Joni painted the cover for the chart-topping 1974 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young compilation So Far.

In light of the upcoming FireAid benefit concert, it is only fitting to take a look back at the musical history of the legendary Joni Mitchell with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. These three artists have shared a long and storied history of collaboration and friendship, creating some of the most iconic music of the 1960s and 1970s.
Joni Mitchell, known for her poetic lyrics and unique voice, first crossed paths with Stephen Stills in the mid-1960s when they were both part of the folk music scene in New York City. Stills, a talented guitarist and songwriter, was immediately drawn to Mitchell’s distinctive sound and they quickly became close friends and musical collaborators.
In 1968, Joni Mitchell released her debut album “Song to a Seagull,” which featured backing vocals from Stills on several tracks. The following year, Mitchell released her breakthrough album “Clouds,” which included the classic song “Chelsea Morning,” a collaboration with Stills.
Around the same time, Stills had formed the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. Graham Nash, known for his ethereal harmonies and songwriting skills, quickly formed a close bond with Mitchell as well, leading to further collaborations between the three artists.
One of the most famous collaborations between Mitchell, Stills, and Nash was the iconic song “Woodstock,” which was written by Mitchell and famously covered by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The song captured the spirit of the 1969 music festival and became an anthem for a generation.
Throughout the years, Mitchell, Stills, and Nash continued to work together on various projects, including live performances and studio recordings. Their unique blend of voices and songwriting styles created some of the most beloved music of the era, cementing their status as musical legends.
As we look forward to seeing Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash perform at FireAid, let us take a moment to appreciate the incredible musical history that these artists have shared and the impact they have had on generations of music lovers. Their timeless songs continue to inspire and resonate with audiences around the world, making them true icons of the music industry.
