Awesome performance.
Stinky welfare cheats took over the media, education and government.
Now they're running the country.
The very people who created the evil that is destroying our freedom.
Imagine if the Jews celebrated Nazism.
Classic bit. The shots of Mama Cass watching from the audience and being visibly impressed are classic.
Janis Joplin didn’t have a very good voice (in my opinion). But by golly, she sure did have a stage presence. Unforgettable.
Janis was incredible and that performance is legendary. I sure wish she could have avoided the hard drugs.
Great performance of LSD-induced rambling. She was a talented vocalist. She was at least 100 years old at 27 when she died.
“Because as a matter of fact, as we discover, on the terrain ... Tomorrow never happens, man! It’s all the same @&#&ing day, man!”
Dig it! Heavy!
She was just amazing. My father played her Pearl album all the time.(along with Lenny Bruce’s “To is a preposition, come is a verb. I was too young, but I just knew there was something dirty going on there ; )
That performance put her on the map, before Monterey, she was relatively unknown outside of San Fran. I haven’t read this whole tread, and heard so many down her voice. I submit to you that voice doesn’t mean squat, it’s all in stage presence and interpretation. Janis Joplin had all that in spades.
Underrated band and singer.
Here’s the “Ball and Chain” I like the best, from an exceptionally good “Contemprary Christian Artist” from the Nashville tradition, total pro, great bands always:

This entire album “Wakened by the Wind” (as opposed to “woke from the wind”) from 1991 is great.
Thanks for your post too, man alive, you got me all over the net listening to and playing things tonight, had work to do!
I couldn’t stand her in 1968. Just listed to this “Ball & Chain” and discovered my opinion hasn’t changed one bit in 53 years.
