It’s sweet how after all that she left on the stage. She smiles and scampers away like a proud kid at a recital.

Over 50 years later and it still makes my jaw drop. She could sing like an angel and shift right into balls-out banshee.

FYI... The woman in sunglasses who was saying wow, is Cass Elliott of The Mammas and The Pappas. She was known as Mamma Cass. Woman could sing ANYTHING!

[lisalopez]

All she ever wanted was to be loved. She was rejected by her parents. Netflix has/had a good doc on her.

[JustMe-vkfn]

What a voice. I don't even want to wonder how much pain this person went through to get a voice like that. It's like a primal scream sometimes.

[bonitaherring]

this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE live performance of Janis's...Was so excited when I saw you were doing this one..this woman tore out her heart on stage stomped all over it..and left Mama Cass wide open mouth and speechless!!! THIS is an artist!!!

[LadyHeathen]

Oh Lord wontcha buy me a Mercedes-Benz..
“Piece of my heart” and “Me and Bobby McGee” are her biggest hits.

I was at the Monterey pop festival and saw this performance from Janis Close my eyes and I'm right back there

[ADMRick]

They showed Cass Elliot out in the crowd and Mama Cass seemed pretty impressed.

Janice Joplin put her all into every song she did.

[opalviking]

Bessie Smith was a huge influence. Janis paid for Smith’s gravestone the moment she realized Bessie didn’t have one. Joplin was a beautiful soul that the world chewed up without a care. #ripjanis

In 3 short years, she became a legend. She made you feel it.

[optim]

That "wow" was from Momma Cass. A musical force in her own right.
The movie "The Rose" was loosely based on Janis' life. Explains a lot.

U know, before grunge hit in the early 90’s,
People like Janis, Jim Morrison, etc made me believe i missed my time because of how much id have loved to see them & experience them! But i changed when grunge hit because it speaks to me so much. That said, there’s no one like Janis, i love her & always will.. 🤟🖤

I was a little kid at the time and was used to women with melodic voices. Janis scared the heck out of me. Then I listened again when I got older and discovered how great she was. Another one who left us much too soon.

[lilakazama]

When I was ten, Janis and SRV frequented my neighborhood to listen to blues in East Austin😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁!! One of a kind!!

[avengernemesis]

I am so very glad I was a teenager in the 60's.
I can see that you listen to this very carefully. .I enjoy your vlogs.
Australia 😘

I just love how Janis brings you to a place, into her emotions.

[louiemiller]

Love seeing Mama in her shades out there - she looks kinda in shock 😂

Hank Williams Sr. Died of drugs and alcohol back in 1953.

As for Janis Joplin, this was the performance to see. It set her on the map.
