True.. Janis was awesome..I caught her a few times in the early 60’s in Washington Square in lower Manhattan..at the small clubs that were all over the place. Amazing voice...raw, grating sounds..she’d come out on stage, just a stool on it, with the mike, and holding a QUART of Southern Comfort..do about a 2 hour set..and she’d knock of the bottle by the tiome she was ginished. I don’t know how she could STAND, let alone sing..

Got to see Jefferson Airplane at the old Iowa Fieldhouse (basketball HQ) in 1968 or 69. My date and I had tickets for second row, center.
Noticing the size of the speakers I wanted to move back a bit but it was too late; the place was packed.
Grace Slick was LOUD and a little drunk. My ears were ringing for a week afterward.
