Hell everyone was high at Woodstock! Canada 1968. Janis kept her voice in tune with Southern Comfort and cigarettes and yes she toured and did this every night! A gift from God she was.
Janis wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤ 💚 💙
"Her parents felt that Janis needed more attention than their other children. As a teenager, Joplin befriended a group of outcasts, one of whom had albums by blues artists Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Lead Belly, which Joplin later credited with influencing her decision to become a singer."
Thanks for another Janis performance, I was a fan of this amazing singer from the first time I heard her in the 60’s, my heart was absolutely broken 💔 one tha day she passed on … being a teen & surrounded by amazing music of the 50’s 60’s & 70’s took me on so many journeys. My heart is healing ❤️🩹 after all these years. Her studio version of Cry Baby is #1 but Janis loved doing live shows!!I’m a huge James Brown fan too! I love all the old blues from way back & understand where Janis is coming from. I think of some of Etta James’ songs her studios were great & some live performances were not as good it all depended on the particular day & how they felt that day ☮️❤️🔥☮️❤️🔥🔥🥰 Thank you for loving Janis ❣️ PS I had a 6 foot tall black light poster of Janis, a big poster of Jimi Hendrix, back in the late 60’s all their albums which were played over and over again & when they both died ( at 27 yrs) I played their music to try and heal… so I really understand how you are feeling & truly thank you for this. Glad new generations are keeping the music alive 🥰
Little Girl Blue on the Dick Cavett show. She sings the song of her soul. She drank. She was just so organic. Her bad Little Brother and the Holding Co. were often criticized for being not very good. But, her raw conviction captured you. Like Neil Young...his sloppy guitar was his style. And we wouldn't have had it any other way. There is a time and place for fine high quality music...and for just talented raw expression. Thank you for your love and appreciation of this very special woman we lost too soon.
This “Cry Baby” was filmed during the famous cross-Canada train-ride Festival Express tour , which was released in a movie with that name. It also includes Janis singing “Tell Mama”. Several big-name bands toured on that train. Janis fans should watch the movie because it has a wonderful scene of Janis hamming it up privately with members of another famous band called The Band. The entire movie is a classic.
This performance is from The Festival Express, a cross-Canada tour she did with a group of other bands aboard a train. This was, I believe, Janis' last tour before her untimely death. The band backing her was her last, Full Tilt Boogie, which was probably the best band she played with in her short career. The documentary is a snapshot of another time that I doubt we'll ever see again. Janis did sing like this every night. It is amazing and crazy. The lady held NOTHING back.
Everything about Janis Joplin's music is, for me, soul searching. Her delivery and passion is iconic for the whole world. Believe me, i am from Serbia 🇷🇸! Anyway, i love Janis and i love your reaction on "Cry baby"!❤
Yes, she did several tours during her last few years, and yeah, her voice could sound very strained in some of the filmed performances. She started as a singer in clubs, and there are some rare recordings from those early days of her too-short career (e.g., her reworking of "Codine"). Garnet Mimms' version is also very good and comes across much differently, and Janis also personalized the lyrics somewhat as she often did. Even her studio recordings are from the days before everything (voices and instruments) was put through electronic filters and correction - just raw talent and feeling.
I love when you react to Janis Joplin. She is one of my all-time favorites! Like you, I'm all about the feel of a song and the connection she made with the audiences. She just drew you in... This performance I believe was in Toronto while she was on The Festival Express Tour through Canada with a few other groups. Please check out more from her. Some suggestions: Work Me Lord (live in Stockholm): Get It While You Can, To Love Somebody and Move Over (all on the Dick Cavett Show), Maybe (the Music Scene or on the Ed Sullivan Show).
You have got to - got to - GOT to - listen to the live version of 'Summertime"!! Not sure how to tell you which one, but the reactors on the 'Merchant of Alba" channel have it.
This was from Toronto, June 28, 1970, her tour across Canada, the "Festival Express" (by train), over that summer. Not Woodstock (August 1969). She did tour, and she DID do this on a nightly basis. She did it in Canada that summer.
I think you reacted to the Righteous Bros very much also. But, Janis did tour and she does have tremendous vocal control and uses her voice without damaging it.
I do think this is really impressive vocally tho? Like what she does is not a growl or like high note. I dont know how to describe it lol but that's extremely hard to do- and have the deepness, like when she belts that's amazing
i think her rawness may have fooled you...well, that and her damaged voice-- from screaming, smoking, and just generally not taking care of herself or her voice. But if you can avoid getting pulled into her intensity and emotion, and focus on things like her modulation and her control of the different textures of her voice in the service of what she's saying from point to point in the song, I think you may reconsider her technical abilities. Also there are some songs in which you can hear her voice when it was in good fettle. I can no longer remember which those are, but I imagine you can find out with some online research. She is obviously incredibly an incredibly emotional singer...but she's also aware and intentional in her choices, and rarely, if ever, loses control, seems to me, taking us exactly where she wants us to go, from one moment to the next.
@@alanfoster6589 yeah, aside from power houses like Pink, Adele, and Gaga..maybe a couple of others..the new batch are pretty much trash and weak. I'm old school, if you can't sing live without autotune..you're not a real singer to me.😊
I’ll never forget my Dad explaining what she was referring to by her pulling her harpoon outta her dirty red bandanna in Bobby McGee when I fell in love w her roughly around 12. He drove me, his wife, and my older sister from PA to Bush Gardens in VA and we all got a turn listening to an album we liked and mine was Miss Janet’s greatest hits. Blew my mind that he liked her as well. I’m 48 and he’s 83🥰🖤🥹
By 1969 Janis thought she was managing her heroin and alcohol addictions, but that didn’t last long. She was so high at Woodstock and later she thought her performance wasn’t good. She was fantastic.
Janice is my number one female singer for 50 plus years and it's not going to change the only female I think can hold a candle is Beth Hart especially when she sings I'd Rather Go Blind with Joe Bonamassa😊😊😊 blessings from Toronto😊
I know that you were impressed with Bob Dylan's Blowing in the Wind a while ago, but I haven't seen any other Dylan songs that you have reacted to. I would suggest The Times They Are A-changing, which was a civil rights anthem, and Hurricane, the story of Ruben "Hurricane" Carter, the middleweight boxer who was falsely accused of murder. Dylan heard his story and visited him in prison and wrote this incredible song about a man who was wronged by the system. It took courage for Dylan to write this song in the 70s because it was a controversial subject and he stood up for a black man who was easily dismissed as a murder. He also wrote and performed hundreds of other songs, but these might give you a better understanding of the man and what he stands for.
Yep, feeling it is everything! A poor performance from Janis, and admittedly this one is, is better than 90% of anything new! I had just turned 12 when she died, and had never heard her until "Me and Bobby McGee". Have been mesmerized by her ever since. Nobody I knew liked her but I was instantly smitten!
that poor woman had such a tortured soul. It would impossible to bring her back even if we could. she would be overwhelmed by all the new and much worse stuff we have now. Her thing was to have real honest love. Not stuff, not things, just lots of real love.
I don't know why everybody holds ball and chain up as the best in my opinion it's not even in her top 10😮😮😮 as a Janice fanatic for 50 plus years I feel qualified to make that statement😮😮😮 my favorite song by her is little girl blue live on Tom Jones and another favorite is work me Lord if you want to cry these are the ones to go to😊😊😊😊
Janis Joplin is very much alive, along with 950+ others in "Witness Protection Program" We will get to see them all, just as soon as President Trump and the White Hat's get through draining the Swamp!! When You Know, You Know!! WWG1WGA
@@menkin883 No, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just telling you the truth. I would never be sarcastic about someone's death, that would be inhumane. When President Trump and his Secret Army, get through draining the Swamp, as he tells you in his speeches at his rallies, you will see for yourself, because there will be a disclosure in the end. People you thought were dead, are actually alive in the "Witness Protection Program", and People you think are Alive, are actually dead. Do your Research, they have been making "Clones" since the 1950's and also they have actors playing some parts until the People wake up to what's going on behind the scenes. Just like, if you Google Joe Biden's Obituary, Newspaper Valley Morning Star, Page A39, Harlington, Texas, the "Real" Joe Biden died Sunday January 24, 2021, before his "Fake inauguration". There have been actors playing his part, to show "We the People" the corruption that has been going on in the Govt., Entertainment Industry, Politicians, CEO's, etc. We are going through the Storm, right now to show people what our lives would have been like if H. Clinton would have won, and brought in "The One World Order". Obama was the start of the process and H. Clinton was to be the finisher. There are Secret Societies (President Kennedy talked about them in his speech), that once they lure you in, the only way out is to "Fake" your death, or they will eliminate you themselves. That is why there are over 950+ famous people in "Witness Protection" So no, I'm not being sarcastic about any of this, I'm telling you the truth, and whether you believe it, is up to you. WWG1WGA

Alive and doing what, exactly? There's no way someone like Janis is going to be "alive" in any real sense without pouring her soul out through music. And there's no way anybody today would be pouring their soul out in music like Janis without being noticed, no matter how obscure their identity.
Hell everyone was high at Woodstock! Canada 1968. Janis kept her voice in tune with Southern Comfort and cigarettes and yes she toured and did this every night! A gift from God she was.
There is only one Janis, not only did she sing with her voice, her soul but she sang about her life. The girl simply handed it to you. Wonderful.
And this is one song out of the set list of the show.
Janis wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!!

RIP Janis! She was the BEST EVER!!!! ❤❤❤
I thought this performance was 🔥. I think everything she does is 🔥.
She is definitely missed. She was a little stick of dynamite always ready to explode on stage and we loved her.
This performance is just unbelievable - you have to just let yourself feel it. ❤
I’m 100% with you on all levels. She’s amazing
So glad to see Janis again, especially live. She covered a number of great songs, including the BeeGees' "To Love Somebody."
"Her parents felt that Janis needed more attention than their other children. As a teenager, Joplin befriended a group of outcasts, one of whom had albums by blues artists Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Lead Belly, which Joplin later credited with influencing her decision to become a singer."
Janice is my Hero, I’m 18 again when I 😢 her sing. ❤

Glad new generations are keeping the music alive 🥰
I totally agree with you, I really feel her emotions. I can't help but shed a tear every time I hear her sing, pure emotion. Lost too soon.
she did tour
Janis put herself way out there. So much so, there was nothing left . Love and peace!
Little Girl Blue on the Dick Cavett show. She sings the song of her soul.
She drank. She was just so organic. Her bad Little Brother and the Holding Co. were often criticized for being not very good. But, her raw conviction captured you. Like Neil Young...his sloppy guitar was his style. And we wouldn't have had it any other way.

Work me Lord in 1969 in also a good one. One of her best performances
you have to love her, it's in the Constitution I think.
Work me lord live in Stockholm 1969 or Woodstock, both amazing.
oh yeah the Garett version is also really good too, its like a 50's style thing really church vibey more choir kinda.

Courtney Hadwin did Joplin's ' Piece of My Heart ' at Carnegie Hall last Apri 2924. She has been called Janis Joplin reincarnated.
What do you think is “bad” about her singing? She screams, but she stays at the time, and speed the track was made for. She’s still in control.
Yes she went on tour..this performance was from Frankfort Germany
You should try listening to a Scottish singer called Maggie Bell
that poor woman had such a tortured soul. It would impossible to bring her back even if we could. she would be overwhelmed by all the new and much worse stuff we have now. Her thing was to have real honest love. Not stuff, not things, just lots of real love.

If you can't feel it?.....then you have no soul. Literally.
Beth Hart is Janis Joplin with more range. IMHO, Beth is THE one. (Answers her song "Am I The One?)
yeah never do studio version, please always react to live...
I think her throat remedy was Jack Daniels.
react to maybe
Someone forgot their meds.
