Janis Joplin's Ball and Chain performance from Monterey Pop Festival is a must.

[mollytremblay]

I'm a 73 yo lady. Janis Joplin spoke to my soul and pain. My dad had passed in 1969 from a long, painful fight with cancer, my brother was in Vietnam, my other brother was waiting to be drafted in the televised lotteries.... she spoke to my angst and pain. I listen to her albums over and over. I never miss a chance to listen to Janis.

I saw Janis at the Baltimore Civic Center in 1969 when I was 16. Along with Joe Cocker and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. It was mind blowing! She walked out on the stage and said she was told not to drink, curse, or take her clothes off onstage. She took a big swing of Southern Comfort and then took off her vest and threw it into the audience and yelled "fuck 'em!" She was freaking awesome. 😁✌️♥️

"Just a little blues singer from Texas" is how she once described herself. She is SO much more. She had more soul in her pinky than most "artists" of today. My personal favorites by her are Cry Baby and Ball And Chain

[optim]

Born to sing the blues. A troubled soul that shook the music world.
(In Don McClean's "American Pie", the line "I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news..." That's Janis.)

[armadillotoe]

Janis was a force of nature. She stunned so many people with her voice. Her first big gig was at the Monterey Pop Festival. Her rendition of Ball and Chain is unforgettable.

[peterbernard]

One of the greatest live performances ever was Janis' 'Ball and Chain'. She expressed pain and longing that anyone could understand. No one has been able to capture what she had.

[booms]

Your face on the first notes is exactly how we all felt when we listened to Janis ! She would have loved Chris Stapleton ! She absolutely made all of our generation feel the entire body and soul

[dagmar.]

Janis had one of the most unique & powerful voices with a lot of grit. Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. She had a lot of great songs in her short life such as "Me & Bobby McGee", "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Maybe", "Down On Me", "Little Girl Blue", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over", "Mercedes Benz" etc.

I’m 82… a bit older than baby boomers, but this music is the music of our political passions… our struggles for equality, for peace. It kept us going. I’m so very proud of our generation, what we did to change the prevailing culture…. And the music that kept us united and sane…well, sort of sane. My favorite Janis Joplin song is Me and Bobbie McGee… by the great songwriting poet Kristofferson, also of our generation.

[farrelfoster-lynam]

Janis was a force of nature, who poured *everything* into her singing.
Her live performance of 'Ball and Chain' at Monterey wasn't just her singing the song, but experiencing it in real time

[nrsvlda]

Boomer here (73).. came of age with this music; she (and many others I hope you have the joy of discovering).. were the voice of our angst during the 60s. You had to be there to fully understand it.. but it’s the reason most of us just can’t stand much of the ‘music’ that’s popular today!! Janis WAS the music.. she didn’t just sing it!

[t.r.]

Thx Seb! Summertime was written for the Broadway play “Porgy and Bess.” Lyrics by Ira Gershwin and composed by the renowned American jazz composer George Gershwin. I didn’t like Janis at first because I was only 10 years old, but she grew on me! I enjoy reactions to music because it gives me hope in the coming generations! I also get a euphoric experience when the reaction corresponds to my feelings and thoughts. You’re especially interesting because A. You’re authentically experiencing something new and B. You have intelligent comments. And C. You have some musical knowledge! Thx!

[deborahdean]

I think you discovered immediatedly why we're watching this. Everybody should know her music. She deserves to live on forever. In the words of the late, great Terry Pratchett "No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested." Janis is alive for us as long as her music is alive.

[exeterpeg]

Nobody, before or since, can do it like Janis. She was just in a class all her own.

[CuzKatieSaysSo]

Sebs, you picked a Great Janis song to start with. She was superb here. Janis was a life force all her own. ❤

[dwoodrum]

Janis—the first female powerhouse rocker. Thank you for not only opening that door, but taking the doors down.

[marytornetta]

1971...5th grade music class. Mrs. Welsh was teaching music appreciation and we. were. bored. She played "Summertime" the George Gershwin, Porgy and Bess, Opera version. I was just squirming in my chair, wishing I could be anywhere else. Then she put on Janice Joplin's version of Summertime and I just felt like someone had slapped me into consciousness. I can say, I truly began to appreciate music in a different way that day. Thank you Janice, and thank you Mrs. Welsh.

[gkiferonhs]

Imagine growing up and this is just the kind of stuff that's on the radio. Great time for music.

[ejtappan]

This little girl grew up in Texas, loving soul and blues music, and she caught a tom of flack for it cuz... Texas in the 50's. Her voice was just beyond this world!! We lost a giant way too soon.
