The raw emotions and energy she puts into this performance gives me goosebumps too. Even though I've heard it plenty. Some artists can just take you to places that others cannot.
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.
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 😔
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.
My dad was around your age, too. He passed away a few years ago at 68. He was 20 in 67. You all were so lucky to be around when all these amazing performances were happening. I am also 27 right now so I have been thinning a lot about her and the others who died at 27 from back then.
@@therealzilch Soon 76. That sedate crowd didn't know how to take Janis. Or Jimi H. They soon learned. I brought some Hendrix from Key West to a small college in central Minnesota and the kids thought I had lost my mind.
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. 💖
Without doubt... one of the greatest performances in rock history. Talk about a 'debut' introduction to the world. Janis knocked it out of the park - as always! 100% heart and soul. There will NEVER be another Janis Jopin - the voice of a generation. She still resonates today when we need to hear her more than ever. Rock on, Janis. You were simply the best. RIP
Couldn't agree more. With all the great music at Monterey Janis blew everything else right out of the water with this performance. I don't know how people could sit still in the audience. I am at my computer and watching this sends chills up my spine and works me into a state of mind I cannot even describe.
@@jackwalker1822 Jack, I think that they were all sitting still because they were STUNNED! No one had ever seen a performer or performance like the one Janis delivered at Monterey. They were also SHOCKED by Jimi's performance. There will never be another Janis - or Jimi.
@@jackwalker1822 That's what audiences were like back then, it was all new, rock concerts with multiple performers. People sat on the ground, sometimes on concrete. People sat and listened, there wasn't all this screaming and surging.
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.
Big Mama Thornton who did write the song applauded Joplin’s version saying ‘That girls feels like I do’ And of course it‘a Joplin’s ‘feel’ that make her version so compelling. Her ‘ screech’ as you put it was always tempered by subtle and beautiful phrasing. I am sorry that you can’t appreciate that but so many more do.
Cass Elliot at 3:29 always gets me. She's clearly in awe, and she was so amazing herself. What it would have been like to see Janis live. A 90s kid like me had no chance but goddamn what I wouldn't have given to see her perform.
If you love Janis (which, who DOESN'T love Janis? She's was a talent like no other) consider giving Donna missal a shot. She has that rasp and rawness in her voice that music has been missing since we unfortunately lost Janis. Here's a link, and yes this is also a live performance. I recommend hearing from the 1:45 min mark to the end to really hear the rasp : ua-cam.com/video/ad3qqlZThl4/v-deo.html
Same here pal....but proud to be from the 90s generation the last decade of real creation and true talent. Now day's the GARBAGE introduce in music is a disgrace.
Don't feel bad. I'm a 60's (well 70's) person. I was only seven years old when she did this. Got into her in my late teens - hooked forever more. Janis transcends in her wails and sweet tones.
We got to see some pretty good music in the 90s, too. Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, and Scott Weiland were also some all timers. Still wish we could have seen Janis, Jefferson Airplane, and Hendrix though, for real.
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.
@Johnny Sizemore She probably was, even if she was shocked by the performace...The way her mouth is hanging open like that certainly looks like she's tripping balls and blown away by Janis at the same time.
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.
What do you mean no one comes?!!!!! I know you've heard the GREAT AND AMAZING MUMBLE RAP!!!! The music that sounds like these guys have something phallic in their mouths. It's amazing bcuz they didn't choke on whatever it is they have in there that brings to my mind, a chipmunk 🐿️ holding a tiny microphone with a weeks supply of food in his cheeks .. 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 I always have said I should have been 17yo in 1963/64. Great music, American muscle cars and hippies. I was born in the wrong time period & wrong place for real. I should've been sitting on the Dock of the Bay with Otis I'm from the hood, not projects hood, just hood neighborhood. You might find a few muscle cars, bcuz I am from the South. Lots of those wanna be Mumble rappers though. I know they would practice their craft on their knees somewhere!!! Had too of been doing it. Practice and make a couple bucks too, a win win for a hood rat any day😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The closest I've seen is Christina Aguilera singing This is a Man's World live in 2007 for a Grammys tribute to James Brown. Christina gave it her all and her voice was amazing.
Agree that she is the best (my opinion) but if she hadn't changed the way that she lived, she may have burned out in a few more years anyway. I hate to say that but there's just not a long list of people who played/sang like she does (totally committed/emotion at peak) who lasted past the age of 30.
@@Ruth-jd9vd I understand, don't grieve and enjoy the music this free soul gave with all her being and what she left us. THE ONE AND ONLY. J. L. J. Cheers. Peace.
Listening to the last 20 seconds of the song, Janis has total control of the audience, absolute silence. Everyone is tuned in hanging on every note, every word. Remarkable.
53 years ago today the late great singer Janis passed away October 4th 1970 but she will forever live on through everyone who continues to listen to her music!!
There are no vocals like Janis..however I've found one that is very similar you can search karise Eden she's pretty good as well it's too bad Janis left this planet so soon 😔
This 5 minutes is truly historic from so many angles. I watch it dozens of times every year, and it still touches something in my soul that nothing else does.
@4:39 that mood ring she sporting became the fashion "too die for" I was a nine year old and remembering all the girls trying to buy them and the clothing and fashion stores weren't able to keep enough in stock fast enough, they were selling out immediately. Also the polyester knit bell bottomed pant suits with the matching side split tops and the slip on pump heels. She was an icon...RIP JANIS JOPLIN.
still brings a tear. Why can't the world learn from people like Janis. They come along once in a lifetime and we never value what they make us feel. Lots of love to you Janis.
She had a lot of good reasons to smile. It was at that festival that Clive Davis first heard her sing and ended up signing her to a label just for starters.
Yeah I hear lots of people talk about how depressed she must have been to sing the blues and drink but honestly she looked like she enjoyed singing and I think she was just young and really liked to party too that was fun for her.
@@AnnaLVajda I totally agree with you that Janice loved to sing (and party), just like Robin Williams enjoyed making people laugh (and he liked to party also), but I also suspect they both did these things at least partly as a means of fighting the demons they were battling with their entire lives. Illnesses like depression are often overpowering and certainly not easy to deal with at the best of times.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this video, but it never fails to impress me how emotional was Janice's entanglement w/ her songs. She put everything she had into her singing!
NO IDEA? They were being TOLD every freak'n day that she was amazing on commercial radio. The only luck was that she didn't die during one of her performances. Just like the crap that people listen to today on commercial radio and THINK it's good because some commercial radio station HAS TO promote it. I would prefer hearing the Queen of the blues Etta James ANY DAY! Try Etta James - Something's Got A Hold On Me. More PROOF that BLACK music is DEVOLVING. They've gone from Etta James, Marvin Gaye, ETC, to rap-crap. From Art Blakey to a LIFELESS Casio drum machine.
People have NO CLUE how much they are being BRAINWASHED by TV and commercial radio. DIFFERENT WORLD. It REALLY is. I have a producer friend who is constantly inviting me to shows. WHO???????? I have NEVER HEARD of these people you SAY are popular and talented. REALLY??? Don't you watch TV or listen to commercial radio? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I watch this, I weep. Truly a voice like no other. Very few can take you on such a ride to such highs and incredible emotional soulful lows in mere seconds. Like so many other of that "27 club", the world lost so much of what could have been yet to come. Janis, thank you for the gifts you gave us while here. Thank you Criterion for restoring this wonderful moment in music history where all the stars aligned perfectly to give us a glimpse of true euphoric joy.
Janis Joplin is STILL unmatched in raw emotion and talent. In high school she was an outcast. A few years later she was a superstar. Once she gained fame many people flocked to her, not to help her, but to help themselves. Janis suffered immensely from the way she was treated. I have always wished that I could’ve helped her make sense of this crazy world.
Just love her little happy skip at the end, knowing she had killed it. Revisited this performance several times on UA-cam, that became my favorite part. See you soon, Janis. 💜
This was the moment when people realized what a powerhouse she was. People who were there said she blew everyone away with her massive talent, and they realized she was a force to be reckoned with, and would be a huge star.
Mama Cass couldn't believe her eyes and ears, me neither after all these years ! No words for Janis, just a mind blowing. I'll never stop hearing this incredible girl.
I know right! That was the coolest part of this vid for me was Janis ability to just literally blow Mama Cass away; who, at the time, was already a superstar in her own right
I taught a class on 60's music to a group that included many people who hadn't heard of Janis, as they were in their 20's and 30'...it was a joy to see them react to her performance here. Cass, and most of the LA musicians, had no idea who Big Brother was and this was their introduction to her.
This song hypnotizes me, it is spectacular how she works with her voice. In those years if you didn't sing you simply couldn't be an artist like Janis, she is an icon
time proves the greatness of any artist. this is timeless. Janis is underappeciated in rock history. i never knew myself.....glad i can hear before i disappear. she sings my soul...
Collin Fraser Lucky you! I wish i could say that. Thank the Universe for My Mum, The Rock and Roll years.(BBC programme I grew up watching), You Tube and people like you, Col. lots of ❤️
@@shawnagrubb9958 the music was great but really, believe me, Im 67 and theres not anything about being old that I like. People expect you to have dementia, they think you would like church hymns or country music, you become invisible to others-its no fun
I had the privilege of seeing Joplin, circa Kozmic Blues, '69, I think. It was every bit as amazing as you would hope! It was so tragic to lose her so soon! I sure miss her! She was my idol.
This performance is a vocal tour de force. The first 100 times I listened I was just blown away by the glorious, raw emotion she shares with us. Sometime after that I noticed how seamlessly she shifts back and forth between clear, sweet vocals and the unbelievable raunchy dirty crescendos. Chris Cornell could do the same live - back and forth between clean and virtually screaming - but even he, wonderful as he was, never bested this incredible display of talent and raw emotion. (Have you ever tried to go back to clean after really belting it out raunchy? It ain’t easy even if you can.)
This performance will be revered, relevant and respected for centuries to come, the singers of today will be long forgotten. The last three seconds of this where she skips off stage with arms wide open is priceless as well
Poppers joppers, hey I thought Suzy quattro was bad till I seen her, please don't mention Jimi Hendrix in the same sentence as joppers, you never see posters of her at least not in good old England. By the way she slagged us off as a subdued appreciative audience, well maybe we weren't used to the shite you churned out. " get back to where you once belong "
Her recorded work was amazing but live she was even greater. I can't listen to her without crying and I can't imagine how people do without reacting the same.
I met her once and she took out the time to say hello. I thanked her for coming to play in our city to sing. Such a humble woman who took time for a fan! I don't think she realized how much people loved her music!
She really seemed to just want people to love her after what she went through growing up. People really treated her like sh*t. She was in college at UV Austin in 1962 and some assh*le frat voted Janis "Ugliest Man on Campus." Can you imagine what that does to you? That's why she ended up with all these guys who treated her like garbage later in life and the craziest part is once she became known worldwide there had to be a ridiculous number of people who were totally in love with her
There are some people that just won't understand how GREAT Janis really was. No, she probably wouldn't win any voice talent shows of today. But, you had to see her live, to really feel the passion, angst and heart that she put in every performance. I would call her the Godmother of Grunge, 30 years ahead of its time. You saw Cass' face in the crowd. She moved people in and out of the Industry. This vid. took me back to the time I saw her live. Thank you for posting this video. I will always have a special place in my memory bank for Ms. JANIS JOPLIN
I think that the only other song that comes close to this is the vocal of Robert Plant on 'Dazed and Confused. A lot of the Brits were inspired by Janis. Just ask Mick Jagger.
@@jayytorrez116 not trying to be edgy at all. I clicked on this video with the intention of finding out why people like her so much and I really cant see it.
I'll be 70 tomorrow. I remember Janis because, unlike most performers of the day she put her heart out there. She let it all out and didn't hold back. Some say she screamed. Well that's what women do. She was a gift. I am sad she is not here today.
Coming back to this video on what would have been Joplin’s 80th anniversary. I’ve been coming back for this performance for numberless times over the decades now. One of my absolute favorite live performances ever. Respect.
This stuff makes me happy to be 71, I've spent time on stage with her ,drinking Southern Comfort and stuff. I wish 15 people had video of but at least my head still has it stored. RIP Pearl.
A lucky man Don :-) I wasn't born til 78 so never had the opportunity to even enjoy her music until years after her death, wish I'd been born 30 years earlier like you, most mind blowing vocals I have ever heard. Hope you are still living and loving life now at 72. Respect dude
Thanks to my father I got to love her voice when I was around 4 years old. He’s turning 59 this year and I’m turning 23. Thanks to him my taste in music is fantastic.
@@karmaservas2736 I respect the fact that you just honored your father in this way. Very rare these days to hear younger adults who value what us parents try to inspire and instill in our children. And music is the #1 form of universal language that speaks to our own souls and shapes us into free thinking continuous beings that have become enlightened by the sounds of our heartstrings. I bet you will pass the torch someday if not already with your children your father has good taste and so do you friend🎶🎵🎼🎸🎷🎻🎺📽💿📀💽☯️👍
I stumbled into Janis when i was 15 in the late eighties. Her emotion came through my cheap little stereo and spilled into my soul. This song, in particular.
It's awesome when other musicians and singers set and are awestruck by this woman. Mama Cass looked like she was thinking holy shit. Janis , a true legend gone too soon.
No joke! UA-cam, is pretty much the closest thing we have, to a Time Machine. Imagine, it took us back to 1967, Monterey, CA, to watch Janis Joplin, blew the mind of that audience, with her live performance. Amazing!!!
I remember a night many years ago when i was introduced to a friend of a friend. This fellow owned a warm cosy cottage in a mountainous snowy area in Victoria, Australia. The wood heater was cranking and the booze and other "stuff" were flowing and this bloke got our attention by playing all the vinyl he owned of Janis Joplin. Man i had never heard of half the songs he played that night. Many great weekends were spent in the mountains with my mates but that was the best night ever. Just saying... an old man reminiscing. Peace.
Respect to those camera operators. They perfectly captured the moment; Janice coming out of her shoes, the expression on the face of Cass Elliot, and the pure joy Janice felt when the crowd applauded her.
Simply in-fuckin'-credible! She was a talent all her own. Big Brother was a great, so underappreciated, Band as well. Cass was in awe! So nice to see her just basking in Janice's talents. A truly cool moment in time.
Everyone talk about the Cass Elliot's reaction at 3:47 but I still wonder if it is Alan Wilson of Canned Heat behind Cass Elliot's, he was amazing musician too. R.I.P. to Janis, Alan and Mama Cass.
This is an absolutely stunning performance. If Janis had recorded nothing else in her life she would still be remembered for this performance of this song.
She's underrated. Not over rated. Shit Dylan and Morrison that's overrated. She had more talent in her elbow than some of these musicians there days lol
I don’t think she was overrated. I think people back then just wanted more of her which Janice was prepared to give, however, she died having only put out two albums. We never got to see her full potential and that’s what it’s all about. I don’t care for all the screaming but I am sure she would have done some calmer songs where we could hear her lovely voice…like we heard in Bobby McGee. When she wasn’t screaming, she had a pretty decent singing voice. I miss what she would have done in the future.
@sinajdelmar4040 I don't think anyone says what made Bob Dylan great was his voice...It was his lyrics/storytelling ability. Same with Morrison, although his voice was better than Dylan's. One thing they both had over Janis was original music. Unfortunately, Janis didn't have much of a catalog of original music before she died. Not a knock on her, just a fact.
This is what a performance looks like, an artists putting all of the physical and emotion attributes into her art live on stage!!! No auto tune adjustment or pitch correction for a “perfect” performance. Just emotion and talent
It is in the nature of the blues to have a musical build up that has a to complete by coming back to the beginning. That build up occurs emotionally in us and our bodies tense up. When the music resolves the tension our bodies want to release the tension.
So beautiful to see the expressions on her face while singing, it's like watching an huge actor in his best performance, a true partition of different emotions, energies and moments, except it's not an character, it's a song, and she's living it, such a beauty to witness. We ARE living the moment with her, all long. Thank you so much Janis for your miraculous voice, personnality, generosity and intensity of life. THIS is living ! True artists make you really feel life, the chills of living. Janis for ever in my heart
Zeppelin MSG 1973, since I’ve been loving you. Zeppelin at their absolute best, and totally stunning. And Robert Plant has said many times that he was influenced by Janis.
Questa è una di quelle canzoni che ti lasciano a bocca aperta. Ti possono piacere o no, ma rimarrai comunque colpito dallo stile della sola e unica Janis Joplin. Personalmente a me ha colpito molto e ha segnato l'inizio di un viaggio psichedelico attraverso la sua musica. Gli sono eternamente debitore. Ti ringrazio Pearl
Here we are in April 2024- goosebumps & tears. RIP sweet Janis-
Sunday morning here and listening to her 👑 All I can say is that all these years later she still makes one hell of an impact.
The raw emotions and energy she puts into this performance gives me goosebumps too. Even though I've heard it plenty. Some artists can just take you to places that others cannot.
Me too. She does it to me. Sad and heartbreaking she was gone so early in her life
June 2024. I feel this in my bones. I always come back to this. The whole earth misses her spirit.
Here we are in July 2024, in tears and hotness.
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.
When modern music was being invented.
It was the best of times.
This wasn’t even her song. She just screeched on it and didn’t give credit to the actual performer. Die in you glory of lies
👍👍👍👍❤
certified geezer moment love ya m8
I’m 28 years old and I couldn’t agree with you more 👏
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 😔
The lesson we carried was God gave us what they had.
Love that Cass could appreciate Janis so much!
Would be my reaction if I saw this live as well!
I ❤️ Cass's butterfly pinkie ring!
Also notice that Blind Owl Wilson was sitting behind Mama Cass.
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.
"palatable" You mean "palpable"?
@dorothysboy1~~This song will always be fave~~R.I.P. Janice~~You are missed~~💖💖💖
Amén to that, this video/song makes me cry of happiness every time I watch it. Fantastic music
Don’t forget pundit Ravi Shankar the 1 who paved his way for them

John Bryne Cook did a fantastic job detailing her life.
On the Road with Janis Joplin.
Thank you for this info, I Will definetly look it up ❤🙏🏻
Will have to check it out
Seeing Mama Cass in the audience just mesmerized by Janis. Two great singing artists. WOW. What a performance by Janis.👏👏
Ikkk ndd her ring was everything fashion will never measure uppp
I didn't know that was green eggs and ham sandwich in the audience.
The look on Cass Elliots' face says it all! 🎶🎶
And Donovan !
Sensational. No faking of that performance. She poured everything out.
Tripping
Sooo true
Her pain and her voice. This performance is the highest form of music. So moving.
The pain was her trying to make it seem like it was her song
Big Mama Thornton who did write the song applauded Joplin’s version saying ‘That girls feels like I do’
And of course it‘a Joplin’s ‘feel’ that make her version so compelling.
Her ‘ screech’ as you put it was always tempered by subtle and beautiful phrasing.
I am sorry that you can’t appreciate that but so many more do.
im 75 this makes me happy i was born when i i was.
мне 70 и я сравнительно недавно открыла величайшую дженис
Janis was great,...but Big Brother and the Holding Company deserves some appreciation too! They laid down an incredible blues sound!
No Big Brother No Janis!
The music was hypnotizing, her voice, raw and emotive
Yep! I think she fucked it up when she left the band... That was pure rock... Raw rock!
Absolutely. Epic

Those shots of Mama Cass' reaction are still among my favorite moments in really anything ever.
Indeed!
no doubt
Same - Mama Cass is all of us
Their will never be another Janis, look how she brings her songs. With heart and soul.
I could cry when I listen.
🙏♥️
U're so right!
One of the judges on Britain’s got talent said Courtney Hadwin was like her. Watch her audition
Sorry americas got talent lol
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.
Yes lawd, you said it.
She might have been tripping I never seen anyone play with a straw like that
@Johnny Sizemore She probably was, even if she was shocked by the performace...The way her mouth is hanging open like that certainly looks like she's tripping balls and blown away by Janis at the same time.
I love that Cass Elliot is blown away. No jealousy, just respect.
@@jeanneposner6482 Yes indeed ☹
She was enjoying that voice!
I bet had they lived by the 80s Janis would have been 300 pounds and Cass probably 400....
If you are able to make Cass Elliot, one of the most beautiful singers of my lifetime, say "Wow," you are very special.
Did you hear what she said..sounded like wow that's pretty heavy man
One of the best live performances ever,
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.
I do the same. It;s an amazing performance.
Love to see Mama Cass Elliot in awe at 03:28 and 05:25. She got it. She understood this gifted artist of song.
Jim C I agree! Janis was ahead of her time!
Love it too.
The look on Mama Cass face was priceless. She looked like "Well, am I gonna lose my job now"?
Gave me goose bumps.
I was going to mention that but you beat me to it.
That's a real artist, no one today even comes close. The people that got to witness that performance are so incredibly blessed.
I was there in the audience. You are correct.

I always have said I should have been 17yo in 1963/64. Great music, American muscle cars and hippies. I was born in the wrong time period & wrong place for real. I should've been sitting on the Dock of the Bay with Otis
I'm from the hood, not projects hood, just hood neighborhood.
You might find a few muscle cars, bcuz I am from the South. Lots of those wanna be Mumble rappers though. I know they would practice their craft on their knees somewhere!!! Had too of been doing it. Practice and make a couple bucks too, a win win for a hood rat any day😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The closest I've seen is Christina Aguilera singing This is a Man's World live in 2007 for a Grammys tribute to James Brown. Christina gave it her all and her voice was amazing.
One of the most beautiful pieces of film and audio ever recorded.
Best female vocalist of all time. We were robbed of decades of incredible music. RIP Janis
Agree, totally agree!
Agree that she is the best (my opinion) but if she hadn't changed the way that she lived, she may have burned out in a few more years anyway. I hate to say that but there's just not a long list of people who played/sang like she does (totally committed/emotion at peak) who lasted past the age of 30.
Best vocalist period, male or female
She was a white Etta James . This made her a star that is for sure
She's was in a world of her own, as far as the best vocalist..
A point where Rock,Country Jazz & Blues, all meet on this stage this day, -and a new Superstar is born.
The older I get, the more I love and appreciate Janis.
Me too.
The older i get the more i appreciate that people appreciate Janis Joplin. Peace.
I agree! I just recently discovered Janis. She is amazing! I am grieving for this precious person ...
@@Ruth-jd9vd I understand, don't grieve and enjoy the music this free soul gave with all her being and what she left us. THE ONE AND ONLY. J. L. J. Cheers. Peace.
Me too.❤
Listening to the last 20 seconds of the song, Janis has total control of the audience, absolute silence. Everyone is tuned in hanging on every note, every word. Remarkable.
53 years ago today the late great singer Janis passed away October 4th 1970 but she will forever live on through everyone who continues to listen to her music!!
There are no vocals like Janis..however I've found one that is very similar you can search karise Eden she's pretty good as well it's too bad Janis left this planet so soon 😔

Beautiful, astute comment.
Stockdog trainer. Your profile pic is adorable omg😍🐶
This 5 minutes is truly historic from so many angles. I watch it dozens of times every year, and it still touches something in my soul that nothing else does.
@4:39 that mood ring she sporting became the fashion "too die for" I was a nine year old and remembering all the girls trying to buy them and the clothing and fashion stores weren't able to keep enough in stock fast enough, they were selling out immediately. Also the polyester knit bell bottomed pant suits with the matching side split tops and the slip on pump heels. She was an icon...RIP JANIS JOPLIN.
This performance is still astonishing. After stunning the audience and making the earth tremble, she skipped off stage like a child. Just... wow!
flying over the earth... and after to the sky
@@alflepore❤
still brings a tear. Why can't the world learn from people like Janis. They come along once in a lifetime and we never value what they make us feel. Lots of love to you Janis.
Mama Cass' reaction always makes me cry from deepest parts of my soul
Yes ma'am!!! I love it when Janis knows she killed it, she kicked ass at everything her and her Capricorn self❤❤❤
at the end she smiles like a little girl... so happy
She had a lot of good reasons to smile. It was at that festival that Clive Davis first heard her sing and ended up signing her to a label just for starters.
Yeah I hear lots of people talk about how depressed she must have been to sing the blues and drink but honestly she looked like she enjoyed singing and I think she was just young and really liked to party too that was fun for her.
@@AnnaLVajda I totally agree with you that Janice loved to sing (and party), just like Robin Williams enjoyed making people laugh (and he liked to party also), but I also suspect they both did these things at least partly as a means of fighting the demons they were battling with their entire lives. Illnesses like depression are often overpowering and certainly not easy to deal with at the best of times.
Janis could knock down a brick wall with that voice.
Our hearts at least, for sure.
Her vocal coach was the legendary Big Mama Thornton. As I've always said Joss Stone is the closest thing we got to Janis Joplin.
thats why she was voted 'Ugliest Man on Campus'
Awesome comment!!
podria derribar un conjunto de personas con esa voz
there will NEVER be another Janis. how beautiful is it that we still get to see her?
Roug-N-tought w ur afro-puffs

What about Joss Stone?
Lzzy Hale live is up there.
@J. C. Tina never was so expressive. Aretha Franklin maybe...
I have no idea how many times I've watched this video, but it never fails to impress me how emotional was Janice's entanglement w/ her songs. She put everything she had into her singing!
These folks in the audience had no idea how lucky they were to see her singing live.
How do you know?
Jeez, yes!!!
Mama Cass did!
NO IDEA? They were being TOLD every freak'n day that she was amazing on commercial radio. The only luck was that she didn't die during one of her performances. Just like the crap that people listen to today on commercial radio and THINK it's good because some commercial radio station HAS TO promote it. I would prefer hearing the Queen of the blues Etta James ANY DAY! Try Etta James - Something's Got A Hold On Me. More PROOF that BLACK music is DEVOLVING. They've gone from Etta James, Marvin Gaye, ETC, to rap-crap. From Art Blakey to a LIFELESS Casio drum machine.
People have NO CLUE how much they are being BRAINWASHED by TV and commercial radio. DIFFERENT WORLD. It REALLY is. I have a producer friend who is constantly inviting me to shows. WHO???????? I have NEVER HEARD of these people you SAY are popular and talented. REALLY??? Don't you watch TV or listen to commercial radio? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I watch this, I weep. Truly a voice like no other. Very few can take you on such a ride to such highs and incredible emotional soulful lows in mere seconds. Like so many other of that "27 club", the world lost so much of what could have been yet to come. Janis, thank you for the gifts you gave us while here. Thank you Criterion for restoring this wonderful moment in music history where all the stars aligned perfectly to give us a glimpse of true euphoric joy.
Janis Joplin is STILL unmatched in raw emotion and talent. In high school she was an outcast. A few years later she was a superstar. Once she gained fame many people flocked to her, not to help her, but to help themselves. Janis suffered immensely from the way she was treated. I have always wished that I could’ve helped her make sense of this crazy world.
You help her🤣

Just love her little happy skip at the end, knowing she had killed it. Revisited this performance several times on UA-cam, that became my favorite part. See you soon, Janis. 💜
Janis didn't just sing the blues; she lived them. THAT'S what made her so damn good. It wasn't her singing; it was her soul!!!
👍❤️
Amen!
Yea she was an alcoholic and drug addict and her friends watched her kill herself, they enabled it. What a great story. Feelgood?
Well, it was both. Her soul was exposed through her music. She was absolutely the top of her game.
Yes indeed
Exposed raw emotion ,no autotune..this is as real as it gets...we still are mesmerized all these 50 years later..❤😎✌🎵💫
Janis Joplin Rocks! She left her heart & soul out on that stage, not just after that song but after each and everyone I ever saw. She is beautiful!!!
This was the moment when people realized what a powerhouse she was. People who were there said she blew everyone away with her massive talent, and they realized she was a force to be reckoned with, and would be a huge star.
Mama Cass Elliot was mesmerized by Janis. We all were!
This gives me chills every time I watch it. Exceptional.
Me too!
Isn't that the truth, Avalon Ballroom, filled the room with awe! Left us breathless!
This is to me Janis's best performance. Love her. She poured her heart and soul into all of her music.
Agree
Mama Cass couldn't believe her eyes and ears, me neither after all these years ! No words for Janis, just a mind blowing. I'll never stop hearing this incredible girl.
I know right! That was the coolest part of this vid for me was Janis ability to just literally blow Mama Cass away; who, at the time, was already a superstar in her own right
I taught a class on 60's music to a group that included many people who hadn't heard of Janis, as they were in their 20's and 30'...it was a joy to see them react to her performance here. Cass, and most of the LA musicians, had no idea who Big Brother was and this was their introduction to her.
This song hypnotizes me, it is spectacular how she works with her voice. In those years if you didn't sing you simply couldn't be an artist like Janis, she is an icon
wow, what strength and temperament, nobody sang blues like Janis, tremendous artist, you are already eternal Janis RIP 🌹
Seeing her skip after singing her heart out, makes my heart smile. They shunned her for her looks but she was the most beautiful ✨💛
time proves the greatness of any artist. this is timeless. Janis is underappeciated in rock history. i never knew myself.....glad i can hear before i disappear. she sings my soul...
Has anyone ever told you you’re so corny that you should be punched in the face?
I'm glad she felt validated by her fans for her massive talent and moving performance.
People are such bastards, they did that to Judy garland too and who knows how many others
Best perfomance of all time hands down she fucking killed that
One good thing about being 66, was I got to see Janice, and many other authentic artists. RIP Ms. Joplin, we remember you !
Collin Begg it’s funny, we all normally wanna be younger, yet sometimes I wish I was older to of seen this, Otis, Brian Jones etc.
Here. Here. Saw her in Cleveland right after Cheap Thrills came out. Amazing.
Collin Fraser Lucky you! I wish i could say that. Thank the Universe for My Mum, The Rock and Roll years.(BBC programme I grew up watching), You Tube and people like you, Col. lots of ❤️
That's amazing. Wish I was born back then. Much better real music than today.
@@shawnagrubb9958 the music was great but really, believe me, Im 67 and theres not anything about being old that I like. People expect you to have dementia, they think you would like church hymns or country music, you become invisible to others-its no fun
This performance gives me chills. She was and always will be one of the the greatest singers to ever walk this earth.
I had the privilege of seeing Joplin, circa Kozmic Blues, '69, I think. It was every bit as amazing as you would hope! It was so tragic to lose her so soon! I sure miss her! She was my idol.
@dan west Lair is where animals live. If you are going to troll someone. At last learn how to spell words.
Wow; how cool is that! 😃 You were very fortunate to have seen this amazing gal live. One of the best female rock/blues singers EVAH!

Legend in awe of a legend. Wish Janis and Cass were still with us making music.
So cool how Cass didn’t seem to be envious of Janis; just mesmerized.
They are ♥
they are my friend, just through someone else
This performance is a vocal tour de force. The first 100 times I listened I was just blown away by the glorious, raw emotion she shares with us. Sometime after that I noticed how seamlessly she shifts back and forth between clear, sweet vocals and the unbelievable raunchy dirty crescendos.
Chris Cornell could do the same live - back and forth between clean and virtually screaming - but even he, wonderful as he was, never bested this incredible display of talent and raw emotion. (Have you ever tried to go back to clean after really belting it out raunchy? It ain’t easy even if you can.)
She had that in common with Etta James. Both powerhouses in their own right.
She got it from Otis Redding.
This performance will be revered, relevant and respected for centuries to come, the singers of today will be long forgotten. The last three seconds of this where she skips off stage with arms wide open is priceless as well
I love how mama cass has her jaw on the floor she can’t believe what she is seeing
Mamas and the poppers now ya talking, probably thinking is this the support band ? Get off !!
Poppers joppers, hey I thought Suzy quattro was bad till I seen her, please don't mention Jimi Hendrix in the same sentence as joppers, you never see posters of her at least not in good old England. By the way she slagged us off as a subdued appreciative audience, well maybe we weren't used to the shite you churned out. " get back to where you once belong "

One of a kind, never to be duplicated
It gave me a headache, literally.
the sheer VOLUME of this woman’s voice!!! you can hear her screaming even when the microphone is fully away from her face. i love janis so much
Her recorded work was amazing but live she was even greater. I can't listen to her without crying and I can't imagine how people do without reacting the same.
Ummmm…anyone else watching at least several times in a row…and teary eyed? No one lays down the heartfelt soul like Janis
I met her once and she took out the time to say hello. I thanked her for coming to play in our city to sing. Such a humble woman who took time for a fan!
I don't think she realized how much people loved her music!
Lucky!
You are a special human being to live to tell such a tale
She really seemed to just want people to love her after what she went through growing up. People really treated her like sh*t. She was in college at UV Austin in 1962 and some assh*le frat voted
Janis "Ugliest Man on Campus."
Can you imagine what that does to you? That's why she ended up with all these guys who treated her like garbage later in life and the craziest part is once she became known worldwide there had to be a ridiculous number of people who were totally in love with her
There are some people that just won't understand how GREAT Janis really was. No, she probably wouldn't win any voice talent shows of today. But, you had to see her live, to really feel the passion, angst and heart that she put in every performance. I would call her the Godmother of Grunge, 30 years ahead of its time. You saw Cass' face in the crowd. She moved people in and out of the Industry. This vid. took me back to the time I saw her live. Thank you for posting this video. I will always have a special place in my memory bank for Ms. JANIS JOPLIN
I think that the only other song that comes close to this is the vocal of Robert Plant on 'Dazed and Confused. A lot of the Brits were inspired by Janis. Just ask Mick Jagger.
You can literally feel the pain in every word that comes out of her mouth.
JohnnysQuest75 she's got so much talent she wouldn't need to be on those dumb shows
This tiny little woman with this !massive ability and voice that captivated such a huge audience!
your not human if you dont even understand how powerful this is...
Its kinda mid lol. I really dont see the appeal at all.
It's the raw emotion. Some singers show us their pain and so we know it's a human condition and we are not alone.

Preach!!! Truly powerhouses of their time whose voices carry on to this day!
The pathos in her voice sends tingles up my spine.
Watching this for the ??? time and it STILL gets my blood pressure up! What a performance...What feeling... The best version of this song ever...
I'll be 70 tomorrow. I remember Janis because, unlike most performers of the day she put her heart out there. She let it all out and didn't hold back. Some say she screamed. Well that's what women do. She was a gift. I am sad she is not here today.
Coming back to this video on what would have been Joplin’s 80th anniversary. I’ve been coming back for this performance for numberless times over the decades now. One of my absolute favorite live performances ever. Respect.
we are so lucky that this performance was recorded its one of the great moments in rock history, nothing comes close,never will
This stuff makes me happy to be 71, I've spent time on stage with her ,drinking Southern Comfort and stuff. I wish 15 people had video of but at least my head still has it stored. RIP Pearl.
A lucky man Don :-) I wasn't born til 78 so never had the opportunity to even enjoy her music until years after her death, wish I'd been born 30 years earlier like you, most mind blowing vocals I have ever heard. Hope you are still living and loving life now at 72. Respect dude
Don Berry those are some pretty iconic memories 😍
Don Berry Nice! I was 14 when she left.
Thanks to my father I got to love her voice when I was around 4 years old. He’s turning 59 this year and I’m turning 23. Thanks to him my taste in music is fantastic.
@@karmaservas2736 I respect the fact that you just honored your father in this way. Very rare these days to hear younger adults who value what us parents try to inspire and instill in our children.

I bet you will pass the torch someday if not already with your children your father has good taste and so do you friend🎶🎵🎼🎸🎷🎻🎺📽💿📀💽☯️👍
I stumbled into Janis when i was 15 in the late eighties. Her emotion came through my cheap little stereo and spilled into my soul. This song, in particular.
Este SOM é MUITO LOUCO
Kkkkkk
It's awesome when other musicians and singers set and are awestruck by this woman. Mama Cass looked like she was thinking holy shit. Janis , a true legend gone too soon.
So glad that we have this treasure preserved for future generations. And for me, mainly for me. To listen to over and over again.
No joke! UA-cam, is pretty much the closest thing we have, to a Time Machine. Imagine, it took us back to 1967, Monterey, CA, to watch Janis Joplin, blew the mind of that audience, with her live performance. Amazing!!!
I remember a night many years ago when i was introduced to a friend of a friend. This fellow owned a warm cosy cottage in a mountainous snowy area in Victoria, Australia. The wood heater was cranking and the booze and other "stuff" were flowing and this bloke got our attention by playing all the vinyl he owned of Janis Joplin. Man i had never heard of half the songs he played that night. Many great weekends were spent in the mountains with my mates but that was the best night ever. Just saying... an old man reminiscing. Peace.
Respect to those camera operators. They perfectly captured the moment; Janice coming out of her shoes, the expression on the face of Cass Elliot, and the pure joy Janice felt when the crowd applauded her.
That's Cass Elliot one of the greatest female singers of that era,mesmerized watching Janis sing!
This woman sang the blues like a master because she lived it!
You hit it on the head. Janice thanks for the memories.
And you would not know that if you had not live it too
The way she sang had u wondering if she had a "tar brush" in her!lol
Only to certain people.
As I have said many times-Janis spoke to our heart and soul. If she did not-you have neither.
Simply in-fuckin'-credible!
She was a talent all her own. Big Brother was a great, so underappreciated, Band as well.
Cass was in awe! So nice to see her just basking in Janice's talents. A truly cool moment in time.
Everyone talk about the Cass Elliot's reaction at 3:47 but I still wonder if it is Alan Wilson of Canned Heat behind Cass Elliot's, he was amazing musician too. R.I.P. to Janis, Alan and Mama Cass.
This is an absolutely stunning performance. If Janis had recorded nothing else in her life she would still be remembered for this performance of this song.
She perform every song with greatness!
She is truly the only singer that put 15 emotions in one single song she sung. A trance like state that defies description.....
the most overrated singer in American history
She's underrated. Not over rated. Shit Dylan and Morrison that's overrated. She had more talent in her elbow than some of these musicians there days lol
@@PhukIT1865 Really?
I don’t think she was overrated. I think people back then just wanted more of her which Janice was prepared to give, however, she died having only put out two albums. We never got to see her full potential and that’s what it’s all about. I don’t care for all the screaming but I am sure she would have done some calmer songs where we could hear her lovely voice…like we heard in Bobby McGee. When she wasn’t screaming, she had a pretty decent singing voice. I miss what she would have done in the future.
@sinajdelmar4040 I don't think anyone says what made Bob Dylan great was his voice...It was his lyrics/storytelling ability. Same with Morrison, although his voice was better than Dylan's. One thing they both had over Janis was original music. Unfortunately, Janis didn't have much of a catalog of original music before she died. Not a knock on her, just a fact.
Not only does Janis leave me breathless, but her outfits were killin it. Saw her in '68, never to be forgotten ever.
So lucky you were!! I’m jelly.
Did you ever see her live with Tom Jones on his TV show singing, Raise Your Hand? She looks and sounds incredible.
This is what a performance looks like, an artists putting all of the physical and emotion attributes into her art live on stage!!! No auto tune adjustment or pitch correction for a “perfect” performance. Just emotion and talent
I love when soul singers shake their body and kick their legs like they need get everything out. It comes from the depths of their souls ❤️
Muito bom concordo com vc nos brasileiros a adoramos muinto
Classic ..well said
It was a signal too to the band.
@CJR VISIONS ,
It is in the nature of the blues to have a musical build up that has a to complete by coming back to the beginning. That build up occurs emotionally in us and our bodies tense up. When the music resolves the tension our bodies want to release the tension.
The expression on Cass Elliott's face, priceless.

She left us to early
So beautiful to see the expressions on her face while singing, it's like watching an huge actor in his best performance, a true partition of different emotions, energies and moments, except it's not an character, it's a song, and she's living it, such a beauty to witness. We ARE living the moment with her, all long.
Thank you so much Janis for your miraculous voice, personnality, generosity and intensity of life. THIS is living ! True artists make you really feel life, the chills of living. Janis for ever in my heart
One of the best performances of all time.
One of the most soulful blues singers I've ever heard. Still blown away every time I hear this performance. R.I.P
