Janis Joplin - Ball & Chain - Monterey Pop

Here we are in April 2024- goosebumps & tears. RIP sweet Janis-

Cass Elliot’s reaction was the icing on the cake. Love how happy Janis looked. She knew she killed it. What a loss that those women aren’t still with us 😔

I'm 73 years old and I am still addicted to her music. Yes, I'm opinionated, I still think the late 1960s and early 70s was the greatest time for music...and I got to live it.

That day, Janis and Jimmy Hendrix became legends. The emotion that she puts into this song is palatable. Janis, is completely giving her entire self in this song! It's extraordinary how it gives you goosebumps because you can feel everything she's feeling. Nothing like it compares.

I’m 71 years old and was a teenager when Janis was on the scene. Her vocals still blow my mind and reminds me of what we lost and it still feels so damn painful.

Janis was a comet. A once in a lifetime event and burned across the sky leaving us all in awe. Big respect to Big Brother and the Holding Company for wrapping her voice in a dynamic musical blanket. 💖

[BST-lmpo]

Janis was great, ...but Big Brother and the Holding Company deserves some appreciation too! They laid down an incredible blues sound!

[MALBRAMAN]

Her pain and her voice. This performance is the highest form of music. So moving.

[tsgosser]

Sensational. No faking of that performance. She poured everything out.

[davidfl]

Must be one of the best live performances ever recorded much less of all time

[astrokari]

I come back and watch this video every few years, and I still have not seen anything else like it. Truly, one of the greatest performances of all time.

[Grace-cjko]

Seeing Mama Cass in the audience just mesmerized by Janis. Two great singing artists. WOW. What a performance by Janis.👏👏

[nina]

I love that Cass Elliot is blown away. No jealousy, just respect.

[kevinlavery]

Janis could knock down a brick wall with that voice.

[thenarrativeandwhyyouloveit]

One of the most beautiful pieces of film and audio ever recorded.

[mgjoel]

One of the best live performances ever,

[stockdogtrainer]

She literally pulls my soul up out of my body.
She makes me feel real life.

[k.tinder]

Mama Cass expression when the camera found her was of almost shocked awareness...she actually looked stunned listening to Janis. It's probably the best complement considering the talent Cass had. The thing is it was so real for Janis. No well ill pose or dance or sing a certain way, and that'll get them to buy my song etc. Just uninhabited raw unique TALENT.

If you Janis lovers haven't read her road manager's book, it gives you an idea of the pressure she was always under.
I found out she was a great person over and above a talented preformer.
John Bryne Cook did a fantastic job detailing her life.
On the Road with Janis Joplin.

The older I get, the more I love and appreciate Janis.
