  • That said, if blues singers achieved fame and success the emotion will not as pure as when they're suffered. This performance is from when Joplin was a nobody.

    In 1967 I had the pleasure to be front and center belly up to the stage for her performance at a venue called Lagoon, just north of SLC. During A Piece of My Heart, she kneeled down and put her hand on my cheek. Needless to say, at 16 years old I melted.

      Apparently it almost didn't get recorded. Janis performed this song on the second day of the festival which brought the audience to its feet for the first time, but was _not_ filmed. I've seen various reasons why from 'contract' disputes to personnel problems.
      Regardless, Joplin's performance on the second day was astounding enough that the organizers convinced the band to do another on the third (and last) day so that it could be filmed. Thank, as you say, god.

I know you all are well and truly grateful for the magic and soul that is in all the records and styles of the time. I will never be able to put in to word's just how special people like JANIS JOPLIN,JIM MORRISON,ECT,its also sometimes when certain creative people meet up and special things happen,ie :LED ZEPLIN, THE KINKS SANTANA,JETHRO TULL,I COULD go on and on,but due to the fantastic people who got together and made real music.music you don't just listen to but physical y feel it only you people who are aware of this fantastic music.Its a shame that the system(people in power) decided that this had to be stopped!!? after Woodstock etc,i mean future DRS , politicians....etc can't be stoned on acid smoking weed.... We know what really happened to people like JANIS,who was involved with the Oakland HA... she was supposed to have died from heroin overdose etc I think??JIM MORRISON , JIMMY HENDRIX,Maybe not but it is and had to be controlled.look at the rave scene ... once again the system stopped it all . Stonehenge now that was a really good festival , until the battle of bean field If you are old enough to remember,pregnant woman and children was attacked by the police,,bad scene.sorry 'i am going on and on,but one love and play your music loud especially JAMES BROWN, HA HA HA.

      Actually I think most who saw her sing live know how lucky we were to see her. Anybody who saw this performance on the big movie screen In 1968 knew she was very special. Not everyone had the chance to see her live, since she was gone two years later, but I did once, sat maybe 60 feet away, and I knew I had seen something that would burn into my memory. She flew way too close to the sun, as you can surely see.

    To our delight, Janis was going to sing nearby. So we went to the concert.
    It was a small place and everyone was so stoned that we easily made our way to the front next to the stage. Janis and the Holding Company came on and started singing.
    My friend and I were rockin out, and started jumping up and down.
    Janis looked down and saw Beth and her mouth fell open. It was like looking in a mirror.
    That was my dear Beth's moment. Her few minutes of fame. And we had a blast.

      PietraBourneuf The concert facility was a large outdoor pavilion with a large performance stage. The pavilion has seats for 5700, and lawn seating (outside the pavilion on a hill) for about 13,500. My friend and I sat on the lawn, with our cooler full of beer. Lawn tickets back then went for about 3 bucks. I found out later that two of my cousins were up at the stage, standing up against it. Janis was with the Kozmic Blues Band then, and the concert was the next weekend after Woodstock.
      She performed stuff from their recently released album, like Try and Maybe with some others. She also did Big Brother songs. The local chapter of the Hell's Angels were there. They were all at the top of the hill, lined up against the wooden fence. I don't know about anyone else, but they scared the s**t out of me, not knowing what they would do during the concert. In the middle of the concert, Janis (who was drinking S. Comfort the whole night) takes a pause between songs and starts saying, "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me..." over and over. She then asks, "Are there any Hell's Angels out there?" I thought, oh Lord, here it comes now, but no response from them at all. She goes on, "You're all invited to an after-concert party." Then the band immediately goes into Piece of my Heart. The place went nuts!
      I still miss her and her music.

    WOW. what else can you say about this? I've never seen Janice Joplin before today, and wow, i can see why she is so popular. Passion. . Freedom. This girl makes people wish they could have as much fun as her. To bad she passed on so quickly. We need more people like her.

      @@boostablemedia696 let me give you a kick in the pants. Lol. My maiden last name is McGhee, my daddy’s name was Robert. My mom wanted to name me Bobbie. Daddy said no. Alas, Susan won out. I was born in the 50’s. I thought that was a hoot when I was told that story after Janis released me and Bobby McGee on 45’s and an album. Daddy didn’t care for Rock and roll at that point in time. Enjoy your journey with Janis. ☮️.

    Stunning! She had a stage presence and charisma that was irresistible! She could draw the audience into her performance like no one else! I was lucky to see her live three times, all were great shows, one was the best concert I have ever seen to this very day! Her magnetism and sexuality made you feel like she was singing just to you even though there were 100,000 people there! By the end of her set I was sweating as much as she was!

    I've never listened to Janis Joplin before, and she's not really my sort of music, but no one can deny her incredible stage presence. What a woman!
