Lyrics:
Sitting down by my window
Honey, looking out at the rain
Lord, Lord, Lord, sitting down by my window
Baby, looking out at the rain
Something came along, grabbed a hold of me
And it felt just like a ball and chain
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like
Honey, just dragging me down

IS NO ONE GONNA SPEAK OF THAT SOLO?? Jesus, that disgusting fuzzy tone shakes me to the core and melts my brain, it’s damned beautiful!
Wow, you know it brother! It is a thunderous, stomping, gargantuan, Godzillian, genius of a guitar solo. Hardly anyone mentions James Gurley.
I'll speak of it ! ... Probably the heaviest, grittiest, live blues guitar tone ever recorded. IMHO.
@@rodgerdrew8500 And I will second that! Not many women comment on this tune, but I will agree it is Smolderingly HOT and Sexy!
Loved it!! Jazz man I got to see her in San Diego! Absolutely amazing!
@Jazz Man nope, James Gurley.
In Vietnam, we used to listen to this all the time, but especially after s bad mission. Her screams were exactly how we felt
Make love not war
Where did you listen (if I may ask) ? I always thought those reconnaissance were a little like hiking trips and you'd sleep out in the jungle....
Thanks for your service.
@@mmmm-uy2se it wasn't like they had a choice!
Fake? Fake subman? Fake little fish? Fake. Neanche sa.dov'è il Vietnam. Orrido.
I have been depressed since I was a kid.
I have found that if I listened to Janis Joplin singing Ball and Chain on the Cheap Thrills album it will relieve much of my depression. That’s on a good depression day, if there is such a thing.
She’s screaming her feelings, the same feelings I can’t express.
To me, this song is all about exorcising pain. Thank you Janis. Love you always
Rock On ! 👍👍👍
Unique- unique- unique!!!! No one can " copy" this soul searching song!!!!
I know this is a long time later, but there's no doubt music is therapeutic. Janis hits at the bone makes them rattle and feel better.
I'm b nknmnñ@@chrisretired5379
I feel this comment...
Nothin cheap about these thrills. First heard it 50 years ago and it still kills today.
Wow... I wish I was round for all of this. Amen that it kills today. The voice mmmmmmm
Ya !
TY.
Truth!!
Every thing is cheap about these thrills and that is what makes it so beautiful
I was 12 when I first heard her. I was hooked on the whole hippie vibe and I'm 67 and I've still got that whole hippie vibe. What a fantastic experience. ❤
AMEN TO THAT I 73
This isn’t hippie in any way. The hippies were idiots. This is them kosmic blues mama!
Anything that brings tears to your eyes and grabs a hold of you some 50 years later is amazing. She had heart and soul. RIP beautiful sister.
Janis was quite possibly one of the most beautiful women to ever grace a stage. Her soul felt like this, that’s why she could sing it. The death certificate may say heroin overdose as cause of death, but truly she died of a broken heart. She died a little over a month before I was born and I have loved her my whole life.
73 years young now, living in the border of Texas/Mexico, and every time I listen to these people (Janis, JImi Hendrix, Santana, ,the Doors, etc.) I am reminded of what an awesome life I've had and how blessed I was to have lived and experienced all of it in the midst of all of them in my always loved California.
People who say that Big Brother & the Holding Company were lousy musicians haven't got a clue.They cranked out some of the most heartfelt psychedelic blues-rock ever played and I think they were a perfect match for Janis.Thank God for this legacy they left for us to enjoy.
I cant imagine who would say that, but if they did, they were fools!
They played the super blues!
being a super technically brilliant instrumentalist doesn't make you good at music, just good at playing your instrument... so go play classical in an orchestra . Feeling the music makes you rock and roll.
That is what rock is.
Consider their first LP. Thats where that opinion comes from. Once they realized the great potential of Janice, they changed their experimental hippie weirdness into this psychedelic blues masterpiece!
Fortunately today, years after Janices death, they've had the good sense to maintain this impeccable style of rock&roll.
Peace.
I have never heard anyone , ever , call them a lousy band
That distortion is pure sexual rage
more of a fuzz than distortion
@@yese1697 yeah. More people used fuzz in blues than distortion. Like Clapton, Hendrix, etc.
The distorting of the sine wave form is a bit fizzy, somewhat dizzy, soft as a kittens belly hair , and warmer than the afterglow of a nice pump on a nice day before all the cards get stacked. Definitely no fuzz though , I know fuzz from buzz and that's cuz people really want out of the higher side of my number and you had mentioned that to him about getting put in my notes from the clubhouse for a few days but I can imagine how quick you would like to ride without a phone.
Can you give me some good recommendations for some good fuzz? You sound like someone who might know
@@softest_eevee Jesus Christ, what the fuck worships the mule? That is some bona fide down and dirty true rambling on there. I have not got even a fuzzy memory of spouting this drivel...wow
But for the fuzz my recomendation
Best fuzz - the tiny, almost imperceptible little forests you find on your sweets upper backside thighs or just below the naval
Avoid at all cost- your dad's face after the weekend camping trip
James Gurley; great heavy blues guitar player, very underrated. He's so heavy , has so much deepness playing the blues with fantastic distortions... he deserved more recognition.
They called their style Hurricane Blues. When this record came out, I could find all the guitar breaks on it, wore down the grooves where they were. And almost half a century later, they still hold up. Also, I still can't describe it other than its real blues music blown all out of distortion. My fave guitar licks and I've heard thousands of them.
It's a shame Janis got all the credit and left the band nothing, but that's corporate thinking for you
The band was phenomenal.... I always loved the sound of this band..
@@philipshirk729 Corporate thinking led to the Full Tilt Boogie Band. So much for corporate thinking.
Gurley was held in high regard by his peers in S.F. Personally, I would love to hear Big Brother before Janis joined. Nothing against Joplin but I've read that had to slow down their playing greatly to accommodate her.
The music itself puts me on a psychedelic trip...no drugs needed- love Janis!
True. I think we all feel the same, but a little Mr. Natural wouldn't hurt! 😂
Shrooooms😉
Hello Lorie how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Ikr! Straight trippin
Possibly the best live version, because that screaming guitar just adds to the unmatched vocals.
Sorry, this is a studio version made to sound "live".
@@MrMikebutkus That's incorrect. It was recorded live on March 8, 1968 at the Fillmore East. The rest of the album was recorded in the studio.
@@randyhammill9021 Combination of the Two also sounds live, though the crowd could've been dubbed.
the music literally infects the listener with overwhelming emotion and movement
It gets there with her every time I hear it! She put everything into it! she was only about 5" feet tall!
💣🎵🎶🎵🎵❤ yes Janis Haight ASHBURY Fillmore 1960s
This is blues music. It's meant to sound dramatic, sad, serious & deep.
Her dynamics are awesome. From the first verse to the chorus, she went from whispering to screaming. Both are a sign of how she could control her voice. And the band goes with it.
Please do not forget, that her vocals (and most of the instruments) are actually a live performance from the Winterland in 68.
Wow, recorded 54 years ago this month. I had just entered basic training prep'ing for Vietnam. Her music was a way to keep sane believe it or not.
Truly, an AMERICAN ORIGINAL!!! GLAD I WAS AROUND WHEN SHE WAS ON TOP!!!!
In 1969 I became totally immersed in this album. 53 yrs later, still kick ass psychedelic blues on steroids,…a classic ! Janis introduced me to the blues, the rest has been history. 💙
Tout à fait. 56 ans . !!!!🇫🇷🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜
I started listening to this when it first came out - nearly 50 years later I still listen to it with much joy.
She sings from the soul ! She knows pain .....
Her control, her subtlety, along with her kick ass strength and emotion in her voice. Flawless. I was 12 when I first heard this and would play it constantly at full blast, singing along. Luckily, I had an understanding mother. lol
Janis Joplin at her best.
The best nasty blues guitar riff of all tyme.
If you don't like this, you don't deserve ears.
you are so correct, my friend. The absolute best of Big Brother as well as Janis. If someone from another planet would ask, how did they sound?....this is what I would play for them!
This is bombazz❤ I envision myself in an underground blues & jazz mafia tavern somewhere in Lousianna. Sitting at a round table smoking an xl cig while I wait for my 'guys' to show up with their cut. Lol
when I was 14 and listened for the first time.... I was changed! I never knew there was music like this! I get chills 52 years later...
18 for me!
Nobody cares
@@Mikemyers2948 131 people do, sit down
Yeah Frank, I was 14 also. Girl on the bus had this LP.
Ditto
James Gurley's guitar playing is just the essence of blues not to mention he is puttin a hurtin
on his guitar.
real psychedelic sound, and very different from Hendrix and other guys. but i wish he practiced more; as much as i love his playing he often goes over the top, out of tune etc. a little too much.
You a smart man
''James Gurley'' the most seriously underappreciated guitar player since Hubert Sumlin. Lookin forward to the big concert in the sky.
May they both reside in Heaven. RIP.
@@mchorchos That was done intentionally. Like John Cippolina's sound.
@@mchorchos that's what makes it psychedelic
This has got to be her BEST PERFORMANCE. Every hair folic in my entire body went up on its end and carried me around... I had goosebumps even on my nails...
Ditto again
No doubt this is the BEST version of Ball and Chain. She is in so much pain and ain't no relief.
It's unfortunate they didn't make a video of this recording. By FAR the Best rendition of Ball & Chain
This album, Cheap Thrills, was recorded entirely in the studio. The live effects were just that.
Hi I'm pretty sure this is live Fillmore San Francisco I was there. there were some hells Angel's there a couple had tears in their eyes .that's the music that's played at the end of a concert .
@@russellrustin1028 You are correct that the song, Ball and Chain, was recorded at the Fillmore, but the rest of the album was done in the stdio, with crowd noises added.
Pat Benny ok I'll by that. I will check you may right
Have you had the opportunity to see the video of Janis Joplin singing this song at the Monterey Pop Festival. If not check it out. Her performance blew Mama Cass Elliott away!
She was just magnificent. Her voice had so much emotion. You could feel her pain as she sang. She left us too soon.
Ĵanis singing Ball & Chain at the Monterey Pop festival is what put her over the top. Killer performance. I get chills listening to her belt this number out.
This song, Ball and Chain, was written by Big Mama Thornton.
Janis, Sam and James went backstage after club date of Thornton's and personally asked permission to cover her song.
People who say that Big Brother & the Holding Company were lousy musicians weren't there.
I wasn't there. I was too young. But, I know that they were great!
Is there anyone ever saying this?...
Easily best band she had
@@WolfShenda The people who told Janis she could better. They were wrong.
Just learned this f sharp minor blues classic. I love it. I woke my daughter screaming it out baby. I'm hooked
nine minutes that feel like one. her voice was great, oh gosh, why can' t we have more voices as good as hers around?
Ask Ryan Seacrest & Simon Cowell...They Bout Effed Up Music as LOW As lt Could Go Today... ldull, lndeed...
But we have T. Swift!. LOL
Some really good crap, right there!
Come back in 50 years.
Janis will still be screaming the blues but Swift?
WHO? YEAH.
NOT TIMELESS!
Grew up on this as a young teen. Janis, Jimi, Jim and Zep introduced me to the blues.
one of the sexiest songs ever made
Aspa Kostarakou OMG yesss
yes
horizontal dance music . . .
Absoultely
So totally true!
I was fourteen years old when this came out in 1968. I blasted this on my stereo in my bedroom and played drums along to it. To think my parents put with all the noise I made above their heads upstairs amazes me now that I'm old. I wouldn't put up with it for my own kids. They were very tolerant parents.
Had skipped school one Tuesday in '67 (?) and was watching Dick Cavett. He interviewed JJ for a while (as she giggled and fidgeted and wouldn't meet his eyes) and then she just walked over to where Brother was set up and belted out this song (might have been Summertime. It was a long time ago). FAN-FUCKIN'-TASTIC!
La mia unica e sola Regina del Blues!!!! Nessuno riesce a strapparmi il cuore come te!!!!!! Ti adoro, Janis!!!!❤️
Pure blues at its best.
Hello Linda how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
When my dad said this was rubbish, I just glared. This is pure heaven
Didn't yer dad listen to rubbish?
Shoulda told him so.
I did.
Then I picked myself up off the floor and went to listen to my rubbish.
@@usandthemx LOL!
I love Janis, but actually her voice almost cracks several times in this song. So, technically seen this could be called rubbish. ;)
@@matthiasgossen4334 thats what makes it beautiful. Pure passion
Sounds like my dad . He says there’s only two types of music , country and western . The man has no soul.
Those vocals are fire. You can't find this kind of quality nowadays
Best Version
Goddess of Rock forever and ever.
Still is and always will be the Queen!!! I can't listen to this song without mildly tearing up at the loss of such a magnificent talent!!!
As a christian now, shes still my girl..always.....
Still gives me goosebumps 47 years later. Damn!
Me too.
Same here
Agreed!
godam, me too.
I just woke from a dream of this being played, had to hear it again.
I played this track with some young college boys listening and one of them immediately asked me about the guitar intro. "Man that is some sick guitar solo!"
i'd rate it one of the three or four greatest guitar breaks of the era. Compliments of James Gurley, RIP, "the best bad guitarist in San Francisco."
I love James Gurley, but what about Jerry Garcia?
@@steveborst5386 no comparison..like Clapton vs Beck..
@@jamesbarta5452 If you mean that Clapton is far better than Beck, I agree. Regarding Gurley vs. Garcia. I agree that Gurley's solo on Ball and Chain is astounding. But he has only a limited amount of good work. If you're talking about the best; listen to Dark Star,
I am floating through purple haze and kozmic color explosions. Big brother and the Holding Company as the backdrop to Joplin's voice is absolutely symphonic!True musical creativity and talent like this are a rare and almost non-existent find today. Good stuff here!
This song brings tears to my eyes RIP Janis, you will always be amazing 🌹
Every time.
Listened to this when I was a toddler, and on. The album cover made me ponder odd territories - LOL!. As time has gone on, this album, to me, is the definitive essence/peak with a band she NEVER should have parted with. Oh well... RIP. Janis.
Finest female American Blues singer of the 20th century backed by a fantastic band SF style: Haloes all round!
This is my favorite version, blows away Monterey, James Gurley- wow, hey Robert Fripp, listen to this cat😊 the quiet section is just so magical, Janis never sounded better, Robert Plant may have got something from this too
I agree, I only check out those others to see her foot-stomping. Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me....................
@@peterbaruxis2511 how bout the 1970 Festival Express Tell Mama version?? That's a great one also.
Ball & Chain here....was a Studio Recording with sound effects added to make sound "live". No live version exist, I've looked for years just to SEE this PERFECT rendition. The entire album of Cheap Thrills STILL gives chills to this 72 year old man :) Makes me wish I could still find a three finger bag of Mexican :)
Absolutely INCORRECT!. Three tracks on the original album (I Need a Man to Love, Combination of Two and Ball and Chain) ** ARE ** indeed full and unoverdubbed live recordings, taken from the group's actual performance at the Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. You probably have live parts of the album conflated with the remaining four tracks, which are recorded 'live' in Columbia's studio (I am not aware of any canned audience added to these tracks and you most certainly won't hear any on, for example, 'Summertime'. If some background banter is audible on these four tracks, this is purely a chat between the group members and the studio crew, I honestly doubt that this was intended to give the four studio tracks a faux-live feel. Another falsehood is that there are no live versions of Ball and Chain, this is just plain wrong. In fact, there are more than a dozen known live and demo versions of Ball & Chain, including (but not limited to) Janis' performances from the Monterey International Pop Fest, Woodstock, San Francisco, Germany, Toronto, as well as versions released on her posthumous recordings (Joplin in Concert, 1972 and Janis, 1975). Still, the Cheap Thrills version is by far the most grandiose and heart-wrenching. I doubt that Janis ever reached those emotional high notes again. And of course. Sam Andrews' galactic fuzz solo is a nothing short of cosmic orgasm on steroids.
Well, there's the live version from the 1967 Monterrey music festival, videoed and can be seen in the documentary Monterrey Pop
Janis Joplin had a gift from God that will never be duplicated. This concert was at the Fillmore West.
No, it was a studio recording to sound like a live concert. But, when in concert, she sounded just like this. No phony autophone.
@@MrMikebutkus This is from the Fillmore West. But, it's the only true live one on Cheap Thrills. Two or three other ones on it are as you described.
@@RichardMNixon-zh6uz i was standin outside fillmore bout 1130 pm couldnt get in but got listen from outside still can hear it burned into my brain
No gods were allowed in this space. It was ALL Janis.
My youngest son, born eleven years after this album was released, asked me to give him my personal "Cheap Thrills" album, as he was moving out of state, an original pressing, with original paper jacket, and a newspaper article that came out years ago about Janis saved inside the album cover...and I gave it to him!!! 😢
I actually saw Janis with Big Brother perform at the Fillmore in San Francisco in 1968. BTW the same night at the Oakland Colosseum on stage were Jimi Hendrix and Vanilla Fudge. It was quite a time Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane, Doors, Moby Grape, Electric Prunes, Country Joe & the Fish, Jethro Tull, and more. Some us old hippies never sold out to Reaganomics, BMW's, and other indicia of greed. Janis was unforgettable.
lucky basterd I m glad too visite the museum of the Gulf in 2017
She still gives me goosebumps.
After many decades I realised just how Soul this is. Just with Rock instrumentation.
I'm listening to this stoned out of my mind and I'm telling you, beautiful songs like this make it feel as if the high intensifies. It's beautiful.
I'm stoned too right now.
It's obligatory to get stoned when listening to Janis
@@spookisghostly4619 Nope. Enjoying this just fine completely sober.
amen ♡
Drugs are the fuel, music is the main control of your own space time ship.
Nothing like drinking outback at night and listening some great tunes.
lyrics
Sittin' down by my window

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why

Best in Song within the last 100 years!
yes, why not, it's up there.
THE BEST FOREVER ❣️❣️❣️
This my favorite version! Great vocal performance and intense guitar playing.
Anyone watching this masterpiece in (can you believe it ) 2020 !!! PEACE TO THE WORLD!!!!
my heart goes faster every time
I remember when my oldest brother brought this GEM home back in the 60s. I was blown away then..........still am in 2020. What a voice, and the guitar just cuts through my soul. Haven't heard anything that comes close to this masterpiece. RIP Janis, You did one hell of a job on this one
It's 2021 dude...
What a version of that song....Janis...big brother...all in sync....playing on full emotion to pull that off.....today the day she passed away....song still gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.....
This was my first LP. I was a kid and thought the cover looked cool. Little did I know I would listen for hours , and own it in many formats over these 53 years. Now it has a place of honor in my phone. I can call on it’s fire whenever I want. Thank you Janis.
Mine too! My parents worried. 😂
@@michaelmcknight8419 🤣🤣🤣😂
I’m just listening to music from back in the day and it made me nostalgic. It’s good to look back every once in a while I think. Those weee were good times
@@michaelmcknight8419 ah yes indeed they were. My head is full of music. 68 years worth. Now I love it all. I have over a 1000 songs in my phone alone. Everything from Janis to Buck Owens, Pink Floyd, and yes Pavaotti! I tell Siri to play my music shuffled and I never know what will be next but I KNOW it will be GOOD! 😂
@@bruscifer You appreciate all the good new technology brings. But it’s a good thing I think. It’s just good to hear others say the same. I grew up in the Bay Area. (California) and I’m thankful for all the great music. I even remember Buck Owens crooning out of Bakersfield!!! But above all, Big Brother was my favorite.
She was amazing. Had the privilege to see her in person. Unforgettable!
me to
a SF native 26. , work near the Fillmore & .. I listen this album in hs, & realized.. the winterland ballroom was at a intersection I ALWAYS walk by.. literally get goosebumps listening to Janis. she saves lives
Anyone else enjoying this masterpiece in 2019? ✌🏻😀❤
indeed, Janis lives for me here......
yo mero
Since 1973. It never, never gets old. Big Mamma Thornton would be proud of Janis. She was the first white girl to sing the blues. And sing them with soul. Theres never been another singer like her. One who could both project her voice, even without a PA system! And could also emote through every timber of her voice. She was unique. One of a kind. She is the undisputed queen of rock and roll. No one else even comes close. The interplay of her voice and the tempo and rhythm of Big Brothers Holding Co. are unparalleled. Her loss still hurts. RIP Listening still in 2019, 2020 and beyond.
Peace.
Simon
Vinyl Dad ik!
At the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. First time I heard this song I was 17 and was never the same. Blues queen! The best, loved her audience too. Can't remember what she broke, a hip or a arm or something before a show and went on and did an hour set anyway.
RIP JANIS.... No One Yet, Has, or Can Take Your Place... Stay Under That Hardened Shell, My Beautiful Friend... Miss You ✌😎
The Greatest Version of the Heartbreakingly Emotional Song…
Listening to this stoned is amazing!!!! Specially the solo!!!
I’m feeling you
Was 14 this LP was offered on free LP promotion in a magazine I jump on it . I have gone through 3 or 4 copies since 😀
Goddess Joplin ❤
She was a legend even she was alive. and she will always be remembered with respect.
This is the Best Version...RIP
Theodore Quiroz Discovered this in the late 80's still turns me now as then, still better on vinal but who cares when it's this cooool!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that wherever you are Janis, that you're singing for the Angels above, that voice brings you to tears😭.
I wasn’t around during the late-60s to mid-70s, but this makes me feel nostalgic for a time I never experienced.
It was the best and worst times of mine and lots of other people's lives. And the music was so damn good.
How did we get from this to Mumble Rap? Something went terribly wrong.
U missed out on some great time and great music I lived in the 60s 70s,when music was not like today's crap. Some of the music ever
I always feel like I was born in the wrong era. Your statement resonates with me as I can DEFINITELY RELATE!!
Aesthetical Twat glad i am still alive. I was a puppy then.
First heard this in Fear and Loathing. Now I play it (most likely one of the first few pressings) on my turntable. Heavy shit.
this song rattles my bones and shakes me down to my core. chilling.
The “Agony” of the Guitar sends Chills throughout my Body….
Still moves me every time I listen. Saddest part is that after listening to Janis crank out Ball and Chain, even the "best" of today's performers seem like rubbish at the curb...
The most impressive performance by a singer I’ve ever seen. Thanks from Brasil!
That is some kick ass 60's distortion guitar a la Steppenwolf, etc.. Great era for music
ThE queen of rock and blues.
Love the soft crooning in this song as well as the sceetching raw emotion. What range she had. My favorite song of hers hands down. The base in this song is phenomenal.
I think this masterpiece can best be described as 'greasy', wouldn't you say?
I mean, I don't know whether to smoke a cigarette or take a bath.
Curt Manners why not both
I'm indulging in my smoke and wine-spo-dee-o-dee lathering in acid blues with a nod to misanthropic R. Crumb.
ass
i agree.
do both.
love the raw emotions. At 39 most folks don't think I know The classics. Her voice is amazing!
You don't know jack shit, period.
Absolute perfection. The song and its entire interpretation epitomizes the grandeur of Texan women, and their original and genuine emotionality. Janis Joplin forever. This is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
Tengo 43 años y quede mudo excelente cantante.
Very good Janis. You're a legend.
Love you.
Rip ❤
Wow those vocals! I'm forever changed, we sure don't have music like this now.
One of the greatest moments in Rock at 3:38
Il blues nella sua espressione più emotiva!!! Solo Janis….❤️
I'm 71 years old and a west coast person ~ this is one of my 5 all-time favorite songs.
What happened to your ponytail?
@@rosa7236 Over the years I watched it all fall out as male pattern baldness enveloped my head. No one ever asked that before ~ thanks Rosa!
@@MissMyPonytail Hehehe I was afraid to ask for fear that was what happened. But I bet it was a beauty back then!!
@@rosa7236 Indeed it was!! Thanks again, Rosa!

Man, this is pure energy. If you don't listen it and want to make something with the universe, then maybe you are dead. 😉
December 2020 still alive & loving Janis. 🤘😷🇲🇽

i physically don't know how to act when i listen to this. from the "go baby go" @ 0:08 to the fucking intro i feel like i'm awake during surgery thank you miss joplin!
Wonderful Janis. This song is chilling. Highest quality blues.
Gives me chills every time
