From 1969, this is such an emotionally driven song, when Janis sings it, it's easy to see her as the real life, "Little Girl Blue". Soon as she sings, her superb diction and phrasing, is so deeply felt, and her range is unparalleled. Her fierce confidence flows and releases the most amazing vocals. Just a beautiful version of this song. RIP Janis. ❤ Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and John. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Harri, This song was on Janice Joplin's - Kozmic Blues album and if you liked this song this whole album is packed with songs just like it! It is my favorite Janice Joplin album, it's one of those albums that just transports me in time back to 1969 ever time!
John - What a terrific performance by Janis Joplin. Her unique vocals and spectacular performances were genuinely captivating. Her tragic death was a great loss in the music of the time. Harri, your review was both informative and entertaining.
other raspy female blues rock singers: Maggie Bell, Lydia Pense, Kim Carnes, Kathi McDonald, Bonnie Tyler. But most of all: Joanna Connor, who is still here and still very active. And in addition to her singing, she can just shred on guitar. Check out her take on Aretha Franklin's "Dr Feelgood".
Just a woman on a stage. If there was ever a “stripped down” performance by Janis Joplin, this is it. No oversinging, gone are all the vocal mannerisms that actually describe her singing. Even her clothes are basic - for her. She simply walks up to the mike and becomes the song. How anyone could not be moved or feel something listening to this….well I wouldn’t understand.
@@craigaust3306 Yes, I have. She took a song done by and written by Ckiss Kristofferson and embarrassed herself by trying to equal his performance of the song. Me and Bobby Mcgee was, and is owned by Ckiss Kristofferson. Look, let's not split hairs here. Janis Joplin was mediocre at her very best; she became a star because she was a drug addict at a time when being a drug addict was the in thing. If she hadn't died of a drug overdose, she would be little remembered today, just like Jimi Hendrix, who was mentioned here by another person with whom I agree.

Janis. One name. Only one of her, ever. We are blessed to have her in our generations.
Best female blues singer EVER! Damn, the world missed out on some incredible music when she left us 🙏
Janis knew when and how to let it rip! Such a powerful voice that was silenced too soon!
This makes me cry every time. Big fan of Janis.

My favorite performance by her. Top notch
Out of this world performance, you feel the pain and sadness as she sings.
Janis Joplin is an artist for the ages. And, she’s due for a come back!
Absolutely amazing performance
👍
Saw her live in’69, this is my favorite Janis song. It SEEMS to me the most real song of her life.
And the arrangement was perfect.
My favorite, and a look into her soul. You could almost predict her ending, which was so near to this most personal performance.
One of the most spectacular voices of all time!

I love her music, her voice and her energy is just amazing. Pearl.....Thanks John and Harri.
Love Janis
The best woman singer🤘

favorite song by janis
Gives me chills
This performance is my favourite, absolutely heartwrenching 😢
The faithful angel created in the after is just as beautiful as the 'host' in the natural ... RIP J.J.
All of the above, not to mention she looks absolutely the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her.
John Chu, you knocked it out of the park with this request. What a performance! Thanks John and Harri 🌺✌️
My favorite song by her!!
She does an excellent calm rendition of Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristopherson. Nice review thank you
Wondrous. First seeing this, maybe.. Just brilliant. Thanks John. Thanks Harri.
I’m so happy to see someone react to this performance.
That's the best I have ever heard her. It was beautiful.
❤ this song by her. My favorite.
She is a goddess
She's the BEST!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your reaction. Would like to request "Work me Lord " live in Stockholm 1969.
Written by Rogers and Hart. A super influential songwriting team to research.
Amazing. The style is as if Tom told her "sing it as I would"
You'll love Melissa Etheridge/Joss Stone Tribute to Janis 2015.
❤❤❤
Please!!!Don't stop this song in the middle ever again!!!
This song was originally done by Ella Fitzgerald. Listening to this translation as compared to Fitzgerald's is just awe inspiring.
❤
Have you seen her duet with the host (Tom Jones)? It's spectacular.
I believe Harri has reacted to that performance.
😊🙏
The fact she died less than a year later makes it more heartbreaking. Legend
I think she’s singing to her own little girl self.
🖤
This aired December 4,1969. Exactly ten months later she was dead.

They had a big set behind her she had them take it down.. i believe they wanted her to tone it down she's dosen't even have her group behind her

The word "legendary" is thrown around too easily these days, and often prematurely. But in this case, it definitely applied.
I believe she was singing about herself this time
She dated Jerry Garcia (of the Grateful Dead)
Country Joe Mcdonald to... (CJ & the Fish) had for a sort while a relation with her, and wrote a song about it: Janis
Janis is like Forest Gump. Didn't she smash a bottle over Jim Morrison's head too?
She said she can't sing her song with plastic raindrops òr cluttered set
You can almost sense she's singing to herself as a troubled child.
What a shame she died so young
Harry I have to agree with you, there is no one as bad as Joplin was. A yelling, screaming useless overrated drug addict.
You just described Jimi Hendrix.
You are obviously focusing on only parts of her songs. Have you ever heard of Me and Bobby McGee?
