She was at her best when she was a member of the band. When the national fame came up and grabbed her, and she left Big Brother, she began to perform kind of like an impersonation of her true self.
@ cherokeelair9796Oh amen to that honey ! You took the words right out of my mouth as i couldnt have said it any better myself .God bless yiu always.🌹💖💖🎉
I grew up five miles from where Janis grew up. I'm 63 and just recently started viewing all of her videos on RUclips. After 50 years I'm finally realizing what an amazing talent she really was. There will never be another like her.
The first time I heard Jannis sing was in 1968 , I was riding in a 1959 Cadillac coupe Deville ! With the first tape deck that I ever heard ! Wow She sounded great ! Later that year I went to a concert at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds and saw Her in person , I was up front just a few feet from Her ! What a performance 👏 .
Drugs may have been her demise but drugs can never take away the great music Janis and Big Brother...left us with. Arguably Janis had one of the greatest voices in music . RIP Janis J.
Gurley is playing a '66 SG with a P90 on the neck and a HB on the bridge, and they feedback out of phase in a very eerie way with fat low and screeching highs, plus he picks with his thumb and index branding the notes, perfect for Janis raucous desperate blues singing. He was awesome !
This girl had a great voice well she had up in top ten hits so numbers don't lie they were made by public choosing❤ like a vote we all know that's fair right ❤
Look at her such a baby young small an ready to go down that road many of us did now I've got the guts to tell u I did but what counts is now we all have closets so don't say oh not me if u grew up with this gal u have been placed these kids will never even know about kinda sad but it's all ment to be so the big man has in his book ❤
JANIS JOPLIN (1943-1970) Some artists burn so brightly you know they're not gonna last long, but while they're here they light up the night sky like a comet.
Professor Time supernova star is the brightest star in the sky...but it is a dying 💫...so...she burns so hot and with so much light...for ever young (she would is like my mother old)
It's 2022....... and not a single human being has yet to fill the void she left in her passing. Thousands have tried, hundreds became "Pop Stars", dozens claim they're better, and millions laugh at them. We love you Janis!
100s have tried 1000s become Pop Stars, Dozens claim there fame to be better,as 1,000,000s find them funny peculiar as in ha ha! That's just about explains it!!
I've always said that the reason Led Zeppelin became so popular is because people needed something to try to fill the void left by the geniuses who were just "there and then gone": Janis, Cream, Jimi, CCR and The Beatles.
That's a fact . Some tried to compare Amy Winehouse to Janis. No f-ing way. She was an imitator.She did not possess an ounce of the talent Ms Joplin had
Amen .Her voice was so beautiful with those guitars ,absolutely sublime ! She was such a beautiful soul, and gave her heart and soul onstage as she sang the way she felt her music with all her heart and soul, full of raw emotions .Nobody could sing the blues better .Thank you Janis, and God bless you always ,as your beautiful music will live on in my heart and soul forever .🌹💖💖🎉🌷
@@user-vb4rc8tt6n Each to his own.I happen to think that Janis Joplin had a beautiful singing voice, so soulful God rest her beautiful soul in peace ,as i wish she was still alive .🌹💖💖🎉🌷
There was no one who could touch the talent Janis had. And no ever will. Simply incredible. She was at her best with Big Brother. My mom saw this incredible band at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
This is one of my favorite versions (one of her earliest versions) of Ball & Chain. I even love what she's wearing. I will always love Janis Joplin ❤️👍 commented November 20, 2021
I agree with one of the comments that is nice to see the whole band behind this talented woman... they were great together... thank you holding company.
No words. ....we only need hear this magnificent piece..JANIS and her fantastic musicians...that guitrar. ,bass and drums ...wow ..THANKS a Thousand !!
This is a damn good description of what it seemed she was doing when she was performing. I hope she got it back occasionally, but I think she didn't get it back often enough to make it worth her pain. RIP Janis.
@@troyruss4112 We are fortunate indeed. I bought Cheap Thrills in 1973 on the recommendation of a friend. I did not listen to it before buying. I hated it. What the hell was all that screeching about? As the years passed and I returned to listen to it (I did like one or two tracks initially) it grew on me. It seems my friend was an advanced soul while I was a musical cretin. Now I love it. It moves me to tears at times. I often think of what might have been had she lived longer, but as you imply we must be grateful for the music she did create. One of the best aspects is the band, Big Brother. The booming bass guitar and the lead guitar doing its own thing. The sound invokes the times, loud rock bands in concert halls. I wish I had been there.
@@mayflowerlash11 She should have never left them, it was a great bland of her rawness and their garage quality, I blame her, and they were lost after she dumped them
Sadly she listened to Albert Grossman and she was never to find that happiness... She was very sad at the end... A shame... Some of us never find the right one.
Going to San Francisco with a flower in her hair. A truly great singer needs a truly great band. Big Brother & the Holding Company fits the bill. Damn I miss the 60’s and 70’s.
I will always love your music Janis...a voice of our generation. I still have the vinyl!!! The heartache of our generation..war and rumours of war!!! Oct.14 2022
....noo..phsychodelic/rock...mr.JAMES GURLEY...the late..is my all time favorite ..guitar player ..at what he does!!..im 66...............juss sayyen..
Fu....ing asesinos!!! Best Rasta Blues ever! Playing in the garage with your friends and some sapos around... totally agree this was the the best times of the Rock! Her voice sounds great she can changes tones very dramatically like she had a pedal vibration awesome!!!
Guys, how I love this woman! For sure one of the greatest american singers. Passion, love, deep emotions... everything overflows when she sang... We miss you Janis!!!
The harmony w Big Brother and the Holding Company's unbearably expressive nd painful feeling is so incredible it hurts too much! I was so lucky they played at ucd dances often, and I and friends saw them at Fillmore East later. But here I hear the instruments clearer and the grief in the song. I love Big Brother n the Holding Co. and Kozmic Blues Band and others. Whenever I would come home after braving the snobs of North Berkeley to buy food, I put on the record and say, "They probably wouldn't like her either" and I heard Sunroof Cadillac on the radio.
I have read the comments. Every song on pearl was my favorite, the last song buried alive in the blues she had no vocals. I was a teenager and I remember hearing piece of my heart. I was only 12. She blew me away. I can't forget her. Her town treated her so bad. I loved her.
Why the people put a dislike ! This was the best years of the music’s revolution, never will be the same, the best singer, guitars players, the best bands, the greatest musicians of all the time. This people changes many lives and no present musicians with all the technology will cover them! Chin Pum!!
There have been a lot of great - REALLY GREAT female blues artists such as Bonnie Raiit, Bessie Smith, Dinah Wasington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and others, but nobody has ever risen above Janis Joplin. When she sang it was as if her soul came out of her vocal cords to embelish our ears. Those who were able to hear her sing live were very, very fortunate.
Ja !Jeff Oregon! Du hast Recht! Niemand konnte sich so sensibel ausdrücken! Es kam aus ihrem Geist,aus aus jeder Moleküle ihres Körpers.Das hat fast niemand mehr erreicht!Die junge Generation lSt fixiert auf eine Musik die mir nichts ermitteln kann.Janis J.wird nie wieder kommen,sie bleibt einmalig für die Ewigkeit! Gott habe sie selig!
Actually I’ve wondered for a long time how fantastic Janis would sound with a really great rhythm section, horns and more jazz/blues based guitar playing.
Oh when she is begging "please please please".. rips your heart out. This was right before they hit the big time at Monterey Pop, 1967. They were well known locally but Monterey catapulted them into the big time. Love me some Miss Janis
Monterey pop...best version of this song in my opinion. If a cover band could even come close to singing this with the conviction she had, they’d never have to sing another Janice song again. She will remain the best in my book...til the day I die
I was never a huge fan of Janis, but wow!; her sincerity, phrasing and voice demonstrated here couldn't ever be accomplished by anyone else. Just an amazing performance. You all are spot on. Magnificent.
First time i saw this performance i was 13yo on a DVD my uncle gave me for my birthday with the best ones from Rock and Roll and i fell in love instantly. She was simply amazing!
On February 19, 1967 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California Big Brother and the Holding Company shared the night with Jefferson Airplane. Grace Slick,Marty Balin, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady and Paul Kantner put on a great show, but Big Brother and the Holding Company blew them away: it was like a firecracker compared to an M80. Standing right at the foot of the stage was a great place for me to experience both groups, and when Janis exploded with that voice, and James Gurley played notes that didn't exist anywhere else, what a phenomenon! That there is footage of Big Brother and the Holding Company is great for music history. That a new generation is hearing this group and liking them is great! Get your hands on the early LPs if you can.
Not just one fabulous song, one fabulous singer, but the original metal lead player. RIP James - you all were equally important to this song. All your songs.
Algún latino? Ufff adoré el sonido de está melodía pero más la hermosa voz de Janis! Esa voz que tiene el poder de sanar almas! Viva Janis Joplin! Ella sigue viva dentro de nuestros corazones! Somos pocos los que aún escuchamos está divina música pero somos realmente inteligentes y cultos! Eternamente Janis! Enseñen a sus hijos la música de Janis Joplin para que no se pierda nunca! Mi bruja cósmica! Hizo tanto en tan poco tiempo.
yo soy latino tambien (mexi/salva) , la voz de Janis es de solidad y poder .. yo estoy aqui en San Francisco CA, me siento el energia de Janis cada calle yo camino en este magnifico ciudad yo vivo porque el impacto el banda Big Brother y Janis tiene..
Sweet baby Janis, gave us her soul, a spirit like no other... and a sound so alien it could have come from another world. She left us too soon and is dearly missed.
I am SO glad I found this songs on Spotify!! one of the best songs i’ve heard. this doesn’t even compare to anything else in my playlist. the guitar at the beginner, her voice, i could just FEEL her emotions. truly an amazing song. late 60s and 70s has AMAZING beautiful music.
Bought tickets to see them in 68 or 69 at The Bushnell in Hartford, and then I LOST THEM on the bus ride home! (I was only in 8th grade!) Happy Ending! Somehow, I had memorized the seat numbers! My friend and I showed up at the concert and the usher waited with us to see if anybody else sat down there. When nobody showed up he allowed us to take them. GREAT CONCERT! (Restored my faith in the "over 30" crowd!) I doubt it was more than $4.00 to see this amazing group!
BBHC is still one of my favorite group of musicians. Dave Getz (80 yrs old) & Peter Albin still play. James Gurley and Sam Andrews died, both were in their 70s
The guys playing behind her were perfect for Janis’ singing. Just raw and impeccable. They all fit together.
That's why she struggled so much at first when she went solo.
Think the same
She was at her best when she was a member of the band. When the national fame came up and grabbed her, and she left Big Brother, she began to perform kind of like an impersonation of her true self.
Thats why it worked so well❤
We are fortunate to have appreciated real music
Her voice. Those guitars. Absolute bliss.
@ cherokeelair9796Oh amen to that honey ! You took the words right out of my mouth as i couldnt have said it any better myself .God bless yiu always.🌹💖💖🎉
I Say Wow. FORGET Full Tilt Buggy. This IS HER.
Hello i am a plume blanche. I search famillie. Thank you. In France in Montpellier
Thé empire of LSD IS great
James Hurley vsn play dome mean acid blues rock dolos
SHE IS ALWAYS A FORCE OF NATURE!!!
The best recording of this song.
Raw soul
I bought this record in 1968. . 45 years later I still love it.
Actually that's 55 years, not 45 years.
Immortal forever. You remain in our hearts.
I grew up five miles from where Janis grew up. I'm 63 and just recently started viewing all of her videos on RUclips. After 50 years I'm finally realizing what an amazing talent she really was. There will never be another like her.
Besides her voice, that's an awesome guitar opening!
Yes, Jangly psychedelia 🎸🔥💥
right on!
Classic !! Jim Gurly still ROCKS !!
An American original!! The real deal straight out of Texas.
Wish we could all go back to this . Everyone just chillin , coming together , and making music that’s actually good .
The first time I heard Jannis sing was in 1968 , I was riding in a 1959 Cadillac coupe Deville ! With the first tape deck that I ever heard ! Wow She sounded great ! Later that year I went to a concert at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds and saw Her in person , I was up front just a few feet from Her ! What a performance 👏 .

Guitar sounds so cool , strong and nostalgic!Janis lives forever!
Drugs may have been her demise but drugs can never take away the great music Janis and Big Brother...left us with. Arguably Janis had one of the greatest voices in music . RIP Janis J.
Если героин сделал её, то да здравствует героин
I love the sound of that jangly ass guitar. Fucking perfect. It's damn near soaked in whiskey and reefer.
Gurley is the true father of "metal"/"shred" lead..
@@BastDG Most underrated guitarist of the 60's. Janis should never of walked away from this band.
Gurley is playing a '66 SG with a P90 on the neck and a HB on the bridge, and they feedback out of phase in a very eerie way with fat low and screeching highs, plus he picks with his thumb and index branding the notes, perfect for Janis raucous desperate blues singing. He was awesome !
Well said!!
@@louiseblasi7913 I was 16 when this hit and it changed the course of my musical life!
James Gurley is an unsung hero of guitar. One of the finest psychedelia guitar players of the 60's.
That is NOT Psychedelic Rock, that is Pure soul
Absolutely agree.
He has moments but I don’t like the out of tune string bending. Sam Andrews was better.
He's my great uncle. 😁🤩 well, was. 😔
Has anybody, anywhere at anytime put more of his or her's soul and feeling and heart into a song, ever? - Peter age 72
No, do not believe so 🔥☮️
Absolutely unmatched by standards of today's music...
This girl had a great voice well she had up in top ten hits so numbers don't lie they were made by public choosing❤ like a vote we all know that's fair right ❤

A real natural,without all the fluff nor pumped up hype!

No lightshow, no make up, no duck face,...no nothing!!! Just her voice full of emotions, microphone and the band. Thank you, Janis!

raw as it gets.......wouldn't want it any other way,girls got serious soul
James Gurley pierces my soul with his tone.
BBHC is still one of my favorite group of musicians. Dave Getz (80 yrs old) & Peter Albin still play. James Gurley and Sam Andrews died, both were in their 70s
