This is the best version of Summertime ever. She sings from the heart and her soul. She is my favorit since I heard her in the 60:s. I am 72 now and I listen to her and I will always do. 🥰
A child of the 50s and you also had the 80s in your 30s, which was my decade being 16-26 years old. You have been so lucky to experience the most exciting decades ever, not just in music, but fashion, technology and science, I envy you.
You know she's an absolute legend when even my generation (being notoriously unimpressed with everything) regards her as an untouchable force in music history ♥️✨ The very definition of transcendental, truly!
Hello 👋 Bonita. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado,, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Doesn't' get any better than this...she helped me get through Vietnam,,,her energy and all the bummers happening. Made me feel not alone - this before PTSD was know.
Thank you for your service! Our Vietnam veterans were poorly treated upon their return and often found little help from the VA before PTSD was officially recognized. *Please* if you need help, *please* go to the VA and get the help you were promised and paid for with your blood, sweat & tears. Joplin was an old soul that understood and felt the pain of the universe. And while she was not long in this life, she burned with an intensity that's still felt today.
If you can listen to Janis without feeling transcended to another dimension......you are deaf Janis RIP Thank You For Sharing Your Talent With Those Who Love You
Theeaundrea no she wasn't ahead of her time. She was in the perfect time for who she was and her style and that music. . She was the epitome of hippy love with sex drugs and rock.
She was never t ahead of her time. She was perfect at her time and continues to be. If she was ahead of her time; that means she is like the junk they call music now which is to her the future
@Theeaundra That's a huge misunderstanding of Janis. She cared very much what others thought. She felt like a freak show in her small town of Port Arthur, Tx. She used music to express her angst in life, and eventually drank and drugged herself to a far too young death. Celebrate her life-force, but don't deny the hell from which it sprang. ^I hope you found your peace, girl.^
This video brings back my favorite memory with Janis from March, 1969 at Winterland in SF. JJ was hitting her cow bell so hard on a fast instrumental break that she broke her drumstick. I was in my usual position, right in front of her at the front of the stage, and I had my tambourine with me so I offered it to her. She took it, played it and handed it back when the song was over. Then Sam’s terrific guitar intro to Summertime started and Janis looked right at me and started singing it to me! My best friend, Lucy, was all: Shelly! She’s singing to you! I was like: I know, shut up, don’t interrupt! She kept looking at me and singing for the entirety of the song. I was stoked! So lucky to have seen Janis live so many times! Later I carved: JJ 3-22-69 on the inside of the tambourine. Sadly, a burglar made off with it years later, but our moment remains in my memory and I still melt every time I hear Summertime.
Is this all true!!!? Amazing part of history! Wow! Your story is from the world we have already lost but I miss those times even though at those times I was a baby. Thank you for sharing your story!
@Shelly Stallion I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *Amazing Story!* It would be amazing either way. But, I've decided it's 100% true! I never saw her live. (parents!) _If I was just a little bit older!_ So, there's someone with a tamborine in their house RIGHT NOW *having no idea what that inscription means!* (unless they read this) Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.
I had a similar, not exactly the same, experience with her. She picked me out of the crowd, stepped off the stage (the venue used a portable 4 inch high stage) and walked up to me. I was just 14 years old and I was scared because hey, it was Janis Joplin!!! I didn’t have much Street Smarts at the time. She recognized my stress, gave me this little Head-Bob and backed away! Janis Joplin had a very tender side that I think wasn’t appropriated! That night, I sure did.!!!
Her soul was overwhelming. She didn't just sing. She was giving herself to listeners in every her song. She is a genius and her music is still alive and millions love her forever.
According to the ancient Greeks, a tragic hero must have two things. 1) A soul large enough to suffer for humanity. 2) A tragic flaw. That describes Janis Joplin perfectly.
I saw her, almost by accident, at the Syracuse War Memorial. It was SU's homecoming. She blew me away, like nothing else ever has. It's been 50+ years. I made it a point to see her twice more. I took 3 male friends, and they were as blown away as me. Her death was one of the great tragedies of the world. There will NEVER be another! She was a gift!
This is the best rendition of Summertime by anyone hands down. The lyrics and voice are brilliant but it is the guitar solo that makes it all work into one nice package of brilliant music.
I'm 74 and saw her as a teen perform this in Seattle, this makes me sob bringing back the memory of the joy and elation I had seeing her then and seeing her now again, thank you for posting. She lives forever in my heart and soul. I was blessed to grow up in those times with Janis, Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, and many others. What a loss to lose them all so young!
Sad she died way too young, just imagine the career she could had through the 70's and 80's. The world lost a lot of good rock and roll when she died, but thank Heaven for the music we was given!
Played this performance so many times over the years. Still makes me cry. What a beautiful person that we lost the day janis slipped away. Love you janis always.
Im sure. People such a kind will never born again, this beautiful times unfortunately have passed. Times without computers, without ubiquitous internet. The world of other priorities. Although I do not even know them, I miss those times.

Summertime, time, time, Child, the living's easy. Fish are jumping out And the cotton, Lord, Cotton's high, Lord, so high. Your daddy's rich And your ma is so good-looking, baby. She's looking good now, Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, No, no, no, no, don't you cry. Don't you cry! One of these mornings You're gonna rise, rise up singing, You're gonna spread your wings, Child, and take, take to the sky, Lord, the sky. But until that morning Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Don't you cry, Cry.
met her in 69 at atlantic city pop i was 17 she was 26, she was a cougar ...sweet girl, ask a lot of question, loved the accent I became a fan, still am
Gene Tyrna Thanks for sharing the memory with us UA-cam fans of Janis. Her singing will always remind me of teenage romances, drinking under the stars, and of course, Summertime.
Gene Tyrna Well I'm not envious....no I'm not the slightest bit bothered it never happened to me...I'm not put out in the least....I would never have wanted to meet her anyway...me? Jealous?.... 😭😭😭 Seriously, that is an amazing story and I'm sure a treasured memory.
I'm 39 years old, going on 25 and this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I play this for people all the time. Her voice.. My god, her voice.
+americannovice americannovice I am jealous. I was in Kona last year and fell in love with Hawaii. What wonderful people and a heavenly place. The nice thing about life is we can do a catch up. I am 63 . A young friend of my showed me UA-cam and all the cool stuff on it. I spent hours reviewing things I had not seen in 40 years. I cried. ...... Thanks and Mahalo
One thing about Janis....she never held back. She gave you her all. And we loved her for it. Nothing like her since. Her ability to emotionally connect is unmatched anywhere. Gone too soon. RIP Janis...we cannot forget you. We can only love you and thank you for leaving us such treasures.
love janis, if she had lived, i always imagined her in a rocking chair on the porch of her house (maybe near the beach & ocean) relaxing with a pack of smokes, casually drinking but in a luxurious way of her favorite southern comfort and singing with her raspy delicious voice that would echo throughout time. mindblowing fact about her, she self taught herself to sing, so im very proud of her.
The female Joe Cocker. Probably the weirdest voice in the history of music. Also one of the most passionate singers ever. There will never be another Janis.
Blessings to you. Thank you for appreciating Janis. I send you big thanks. My heart to you and our brothers and sisters of the world. 🙏🌹💓🌎Blessings from North Carolina, USA .
Janis Joplin was a deity...there I said it...and how the guitar weeps in this song helps me feel and repair my soul so that I may live 500 more years..
I liked her minimalist approach in the beginning and throughout the song....punctuated with deep soul....nobody is like her...and there never will be again.
The bands of the 60s and 70s have a "heavy sound" that most heavy metal bands today cannot do, and it seems that the old bands did it without realizing it, I cannot understand.
Greed took over.. back tracks, voice overs, tuning, image, bullshit. I’m so glad I was born in the early 70’s and my parents were hippies.. so much heart and soul.. not like the shit on the radio now.. pure shit.. singing about wet pus%y. Fkn shame!
@@HeyJuuude-05 A group that does a lot of covers - excellently - are two sisters from the South, Larkin Poe. Another excellent, current, blues singer is Keb' Mo.' If you listen to them, you can get a strong start listening to blues songs. Also, certain other '60's bands - besides Janis and her bands - like the Allman Brothers, and the Stones (Keith Richards and Mick Jagger), covered older blues songs. And then there are the originals, like Robert Johnson, and many other phenomenal musicians. Another way to go at it is to stick with a blues song you like, and follow who covered it, starting from the early 20th century. Many original great blues singers did "Summertime." Another song was "House of the Rising Sun." "Midnight Rambler" (The Allman Brothers are linked with this one, but's much older.) "Back Door Man" (The Doors covered this in the '60's, but it goes much further back than that.) "Come Into My Kitchen" (Robert Johnson) "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" (Leadbelly)
All Janis wanted was to be liked and respected. She was mercilessly bullied in High School by her peers for being different. I honestly believe she got the last laugh in the end.
I met someone who owned a bar in SF in the 60's and he told me that she was not very nice or very approachable, she was rough, especially after drinking southern comfort. Anyways I love her music.
The best singer I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm cuban and I love Celia Cruz, but Janis Joplin still at the first place: What a voice, what a feeling, what a genius!!!
In 6th grade I had the best music teacher. She was determined to make us understand and appreciate music, not just learn a bunch of elementary school songs. First she played the George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess version of this and I just cringed; literally covered my face with my hands and prayed for it to end. And then she played Janis... and I cried...and when she saw that I was crying, she cried too... I'll never forget Mrs. Welsh for that moment of discovery. It was the first time I clearly remember understanding music as art.
MY music teachers were not so inclined or enlightened. They thought that the Rock music was a fad that would be forgotten. Well, it's 50 years later, and I'm right, and you're wrong. Oh so wrong! !
x oh lighten up! There are so many blues men and women I Love...I was remarking on this song, and I stand by that. I do not Lmfao at any other color beige, or whatever. Don't hate.
that crossed my mind...ha! I saw Hendrix, and was in Love. OMG, that man could play, and had such presence! I knew I was looking at a Star! I never had the good fortune to see Janis. I recently saw "Little Girl Blue" if you're a fan look for it...
As a young teenager in Texas, Janis (a misfit in her conformist white peer culture), followed her own singing muse, patterned her own singing style from old recordings of her idol whom she regarded as her soul sister elder mentor, black blues great Billie Holliday.
it would be trivial to describe what you were, and what you make us feel even now that you're gone!! it is not possible to describe with sufficiently suitable words what we still feel today to listen to your music !!!
The first time I heard this song I was asleep in Austin Texas and someone's clock radio went off and this was playing. It was still dark out, a warm night with the window open and a warm breeze blowing in. I didn't know if this was even real... In fact, I'm still not sure.
My first concert was Janis 1970. I got to meet her, she hugged and kissed my cheek and told me I was "cool.' I still have her autograph she gave me that day. I can still see her in my mind, she looked so happy.
When music came from the soul, drugs and mind expansions not a laptop… unfortunately 50 years from now talent and greatness of certain eras will vanish, so keep passing and explaining g this to your kids, try to explain to them the correlation between a certain lifestyle and creating magic through music, sensations, try to preserve this by getting g your kids ears know the difference between how great things were and the trash we have to adjust to these days… am talking especially to the generation in their forties and fifties now who witnessed or at least grew up to these legends understanding where the music came from
She came from another galaxy, she was more than human. I will always love here and miss her, she, with this unbelievable voice and this heart and soul. Thank you Janis!.
Hello 👋 Ingrid. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado,, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
@@ingridthurner3651 you are welcome. I have been to Germany so many years ago and it's very nice there, i will love to visit again. I am presently working at Alaska arctic ocean. Have you been to Alaska before?
In 1982 I got some stored Janis Albums my dad had from 10 years or so prior. I was living in Germany at the time and she rocked my fucking soul. I was sooooo hooked on Joplin and I turned on a bunch of people to her even though she was already long dead. She was out of this world. If I ever get three wishes, 1st one....see Janis Live
This is my mom's favorite version of summertime and she played this when I was 17. I'm 25 now and this is my favorite one as well. I feel so connected to her every time I listen to this
Pearl I never got to meet you or hear you perform live, I was 5 years old when you were taken from us, but I have listened to your music for decades and I can only imagine what it would have to been at one of your concerts, We all miss you very much
Damn, that girl's voice was an orchestra. Not content to sing one note at a time, she sang several, and our souls stood still and attended. She lived too deeply and burned up because of it and left us the glad recipients of all her tears and joys. Just magical and never forgotten.
Happy Birthday Janis ... (born January 19, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas and died October 4, 1970 in Los Angeles) is an American singer. Nicknamed the "Cosmic Mama" or "Pearl", she first distinguished herself in the late 1960s as a singer for the psychedelic acid rock group Big Brother and the Holding Company and, later, as solo artist with his support groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band.
Initially she breaks your eardrum with her voice and then she comes back and caresses him. Incomparable voice after 50 years. Incredible! Even the orchestra behind her is amazing!
It's 2024 and this classic song still jams! Forever I have been a fan, always will be❤🎶

Listening for my Momma. I know she is listening in heaven

I agree, simply outstanding. What a Singer. So sad that she died so young. I would've loved to have seen her live, had she lived until her 70's
I agree: the best rendition. I miss her!

Almost 72 and can't stop listening...OMG! Won the lottery of life to have lived in the 60's and 70's as a young person...to last a lifetime!

How right you are. Never really thought of this like that.
Hello Dan you are so right this is old school girl my mom was born in 1952 had me at 15 all I know old school you don’t make music like this..
Jealous. I was I was a young in the 70s. I’d cut my arm off to see Stevie in 1976
Relax tough guy.
I think it’s a given that she was truly a one off ❤
Saw Janis up close at the Monterey Pop Festival. I'm 74 and she still rocks my very soul
How amazing was that???
Yeah must have been insane …. 😮😊
You're a lucky person to have been able to have that memory,
Wish I were old enough to be there
Afortunado

Lord, the sky.
But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry,
Cry.

So many errors in the lyrics it's cancer
Thank you for writing the words
It's crazy how this live version sounds even better and more powerful than the studio version IMO.
So true
very well said, this one tops all live or studio versions ive heard
Russo brasilian cover
My group in a huddle
Unrestrained passion and art. That is what I see and hear.
One of the most blusiest voices to ever exist...
Fucking legned
She gave her fans every thing she had
Relax
Drop the mike.
That’s that heroin rattle
I can't help but smile every time I hear this.
James Gurley's guitar slays me.
It's not a voice, it is a perfected musical instrument
met her in 69 at atlantic city pop i was 17 she was 26, she was a cougar ...sweet girl, ask a lot of question, loved the accent I became a fan, still am
Gene Tyrna Thanks for sharing the memory with us UA-cam fans of Janis. Her singing will always remind me of teenage romances, drinking under the stars, and of course, Summertime.
Gene Tyrna ich
that is amazing
Gene Tyrna Well I'm not envious....no I'm not the slightest bit bothered it never happened to me...I'm not put out in the least....I would never have wanted to meet her anyway...me? Jealous?.... 😭😭😭
Seriously, that is an amazing story and I'm sure a treasured memory.
Who were those fabulous musicians playing with her,not all were her permanent band i assume....
I'm 39 years old, going on 25 and this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I play this for people all the time. Her voice.. My god, her voice.
She was a wonderful junkie. Rolling stone tried to save.
Ha Ha! Love your comment I'm 40 going on 26 😆 yes this fuckn song touches my soul
Crazy beautiful.
never heard a sensual, soul, psychedelic voice like hers 😍
legends never die ❤
THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED LISTENING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS...
it's happening right now.
+americannovice americannovice I am jealous. I was in Kona last year and fell in love with Hawaii. What wonderful people and a heavenly place. The nice thing about life is we can do a catch up. I am 63 . A young friend of my showed me UA-cam and all the cool stuff on it. I spent hours reviewing things I had not seen in 40 years. I cried. ...... Thanks and Mahalo

I cry for Joplin every time I hear her. She was a true soul
this is the song of crying
I cry because she reminds me of my mother who died of lung cancer a few years ago..
Me too!
❤ 2024 still listening im old school wish Janus was not a member if the 27 club. 😢
I don't know what it is about this version or her voice but I have tears in my eyes. Wow!
Nothing beats Live music✌
Two yearslater fromyour post and I'm experiencing the tears! Ahh Janis.
@@patriciamccaskill6472 me too. I have chills.
Janis jerks tears from me every time😢🤘
Best version of this song that I've come across yet.
One thing about Janis....she never held back. She gave you her all. And we loved her for it. Nothing like her since. Her ability to emotionally connect is unmatched anywhere. Gone too soon. RIP Janis...we cannot forget you. We can only love you and thank you for leaving us such treasures.
All these years later,and she still makes the hair raise up on the back of my neck when she sings this song.
me to but in my case its torture.
Joachim you're a w*nker

@@johnevans388 rrrr
@@godovscore hey dumbass why are you listening to her?
love janis, if she had lived, i always imagined her in a rocking chair on the porch of her house (maybe near the beach & ocean) relaxing with a pack of smokes, casually drinking but in a luxurious way of her favorite southern comfort and singing with her raspy delicious voice that would echo throughout time. mindblowing fact about her, she self taught herself to sing, so im very proud of her.
The female Joe Cocker. Probably the weirdest voice in the history of music. Also one of the most passionate singers ever. There will never be another Janis.
You are sooo right!! Super soul
+John Doe she is not the weirdest, besides compare to what?
+Twiggy Bow no it's Justin Bieber how he got a record deal I will never know
+John Doe Weirdest? You should try sampling some actual old school blues. Janis' voice was really something special.
Mathew walentowicz I don't think Janis is weird, she is the hidden treasure, never judge people, that's my life standard
2020 still listening? ♥️
i just heard this version of one of my favorite songs of all time and it just blew me away....a masterpice
Escuchando a Janis en febrero 2020 calor en Buenos Aires, Argentina
make me shiver...
Getting goosebumps every single time
Sure!
If you’re new to older music you’ll notice everything is about the music.
There’s new music like that on a lesser scale. But I really appreciate that I’m this. This is the most chilling/haunting song I’ve heard.
God Damn, my soul just left my body.
This song is a master piece. Still love it in 2024.... She had such soul in Music..More difficult to ajjust in our daily life ! RIP Dear Janis
This is probably my favorite song by Janis. Her voice is perfect for it.
The intro is just incredible.
.... Excactly 💜. ....
I just finished to see the documentary "Janis" : I love so much her smile ! I wish I was young at this time...
+Dorypowa Iwas young at this time and loved her smile........AND VOICE!
waw lucky you !!
did you see her on stage or...? :)
2024❤ Love you Janny❤be happy on Heaven! God bless you❤

A unique voice that fit perfectly with a unique time in U.S. history.
Very well put✅️✅️✅️
Omg, her voice is unbelievable, the instruments--- just perfect💕
AMAZING version!
Janis Joplin was a deity...there I said it...and how the guitar weeps in this song helps me feel and repair my soul so that I may live 500 more years..
We are all "vessels" for "The Deity" to utilize, if we want to be used in His service! 👀🧐🙏🏽
Follow Christ Jesus
I liked her minimalist approach in the beginning and throughout the song....punctuated with deep soul....nobody is like her...and there never will be again.
Agree about the minimalist approach but the album version did that better. Good version here but the keyboards got in the way.
Why ?
David Hutchinson what about amy winhouse
What about her?
Who??? Are you fucking kidding me???
There will never be someone like her ...she was absolutely stunning

I appreciate an artist who can take a well known piece and make it there own.
The bands of the 60s and 70s have a "heavy sound" that most heavy metal bands today cannot do, and it seems that the old bands did it without realizing it, I cannot understand.
They played from their souls
When musicians were highly trained
Greed took over.. back tracks, voice overs, tuning, image, bullshit. I’m so glad I was born in the early 70’s and my parents were hippies.. so much heart and soul.. not like the shit on the radio now.. pure shit.. singing about wet pus%y. Fkn shame!
I’m new to blues music and I’m trying to build a good playlist. Have you any suggestions?
@@HeyJuuude-05 A group that does a lot of covers - excellently - are two sisters from the South, Larkin Poe. Another excellent, current, blues singer is Keb' Mo.' If you listen to them, you can get a strong start listening to blues songs.
Also, certain other '60's bands - besides Janis and her bands - like the Allman Brothers, and the Stones (Keith Richards and Mick Jagger), covered older blues songs.
And then there are the originals, like Robert Johnson, and many other phenomenal musicians.
Another way to go at it is to stick with a blues song you like, and follow who covered it, starting from the early 20th century. Many original great blues singers did "Summertime."
Another song was "House of the Rising Sun."
"Midnight Rambler" (The Allman Brothers are linked with this one, but's much older.)
"Back Door Man" (The Doors covered this in the '60's, but it goes much further back than that.)
"Come Into My Kitchen" (Robert Johnson)
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" (Leadbelly)
All Janis wanted was to be liked and respected. She was mercilessly bullied in
High School by her peers for being different.
I honestly believe she got the last laugh in the end.
I know someone who knew her in high school in Texas. He said the same thing.
Only a jerk would bully Pearl, she is so precious. It's so sad
She died at age 27 from a Southern Comfort and heroin overdose.
I met someone who owned a bar in SF in the 60's and he told me that she was not very nice or very approachable, she was rough, especially after drinking southern comfort. Anyways I love her music.
You
right
The best singer I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm cuban and I love Celia Cruz, but Janis Joplin still at the first place: What a voice, what a feeling, what a genius!!!
In 6th grade I had the best music teacher. She was determined to make us understand and appreciate music, not just learn a bunch of elementary school songs. First she played the George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess version of this and I just cringed; literally covered my face with my hands and prayed for it to end. And then she played Janis... and I cried...and when she saw that I was crying, she cried too... I'll never forget Mrs. Welsh for that moment of discovery. It was the first time I clearly remember understanding music as art.
MY music teachers were not so inclined or enlightened. They thought that the Rock music was a fad that would be forgotten. Well, it's 50 years later, and I'm right, and you're wrong. Oh so wrong! !
Sorry that you cant appreciate the original version....
You're so lucky to have had that teacher!! 😉😉
yumyumwhatzohai she was a six grader why you gotta be all snotty.
Jesse Perez - people as a group aren’t too smart.
The greatest female rock and blues singer of all time. Taken way too early. Wow.
Its true
It s a wonderful song
OH MY FREAKING GAWD!!!!
The Rock n Roll Blues Queen.
Respect.
x oh lighten up! There are so many blues men and women I Love...I was remarking on this song, and I stand by that. I do not Lmfao at any other color beige, or whatever. Don't hate.
most likely a young person.....not knowing how tight she was with Jimmy Hendrix , she died in Oct 1970 right behind jimmy in sept /70
that crossed my mind...ha! I saw Hendrix, and was in Love. OMG, that
man could play, and had such presence! I knew I was looking at a Star! I never had the good fortune to see Janis. I recently saw "Little Girl Blue" if you're a fan look for it...
***** Total props for the True pioneers, who Are black! Yet,this is truly "rock blues", which Janice Owned.
As a young teenager in Texas, Janis (a misfit in her conformist white peer culture), followed her own singing muse, patterned her own singing style from old recordings of her idol whom she regarded as her soul sister elder mentor, black blues great Billie Holliday.
it would be trivial to describe what you were, and what you make us feel even now that you're gone!! it is not possible to describe with sufficiently suitable words what we still feel today to listen to your music !!!
The first time I heard this song I was asleep in Austin Texas and someone's clock radio went off and this was playing. It was still dark out, a warm night with the window open and a warm breeze blowing in. I didn't know if this was even real... In fact, I'm still not sure.
Love this. Paints a picture.
life, right? so wild.
It wasn't real,its the consensus of a dream; that a soul had a voice to touch us all
Beautiful picture you drew
goosebumps!
My first concert was Janis 1970. I got to meet her, she hugged and kissed my cheek and told me I was "cool.' I still have her autograph she gave me that day. I can still see her in my mind, she looked so happy.
What an awesome memory!! Thanks for sharing it.
Who! How Amazing. What an experience
I grew up during the 60s
How lucky you are! What a memory to treasure
❤❤❤
Her voice is half vocal, half "magic instrument".. beyond world..
Magic, scary, I'm 73
When music came from the soul, drugs and mind expansions not a laptop… unfortunately 50 years from now talent and greatness of certain eras will vanish, so keep passing and explaining g this to your kids, try to explain to them the correlation between a certain lifestyle and creating magic through music, sensations, try to preserve this by getting g your kids ears know the difference between how great things were and the trash we have to adjust to these days… am talking especially to the generation in their forties and fifties now who witnessed or at least grew up to these legends understanding where the music came from
Уходим мы!
seeing her in-person was THE highlight of my crazy youth.....it was 'crazy' seeing her perform......
+Andrew Prokopis Dude, you are so lucky and so blessed. I want to be you.
Andrew Prokopis Awesome thnx for sharing.
She came from another galaxy, she was more than human. I will always love here and miss her, she, with this unbelievable voice and this heart and soul.
Thank you Janis!.

+zoki pokeski I think Kris Kristofferson wrote that line/song.
actually, Kris Kristoffesen -- janis sang it, he wrote it
The most uniquely beautiful voice in the history of rock music .
A mastery of voice and interpretation. Just incredible.
I am 32 and it is 2021 and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Janis Joplin is a legend. She was truly the first true female rock star.
In 1982 I got some stored Janis Albums my dad had from 10 years or so prior. I was living in Germany at the time and she rocked my fucking soul. I was sooooo hooked on Joplin and I turned on a bunch of people to her even though she was already long dead. She was out of this world. If I ever get three wishes, 1st one....see Janis Live
❤
That voice +that guitar= untouchable 💔
This is my mom's favorite version of summertime and she played this when I was 17. I'm 25 now and this is my favorite one as well. I feel so connected to her every time I listen to this
hard to beleive she can sing one word and blow my mind and give me chills SUMMERTIME. THANK YOU GOD FOR LETTING US BORROW JAN.
I was very close to my feisty aunts who introduced me to all this great music, and so I just loved Janis Joplin! Sad life though!
This Version is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ~
Mbak junis juplin sakestu kulo remen damel kulo kenter marang lurik lagune your my legend blues
Pearl I never got to meet you or hear you perform live, I was 5 years old when you were taken from us, but I have listened to your music for decades and I can only imagine what it would have to been at one of your concerts, We all miss you very much
Damn, that girl's voice was an orchestra. Not content to sing one note at a time, she sang several, and our souls stood still and attended. She lived too deeply and burned up because of it and left us the glad recipients of all her tears and joys. Just magical and never forgotten.
Lindo dia divina música 😅
Конечно!!! Эта музыка вечна!!! Особенно, в исполнении этой прекрасной певицы!!! 2023 still listening!!!
The horn section at the beginning is pure delight.
Wow........unbelievable....still
still a great version of the song, btw I like the guitar solo in the intro too
dédions cette musique aux enfants morts rip

I love the music of Janis.....

Happy Birthday Janis ... (born January 19, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas and died October 4, 1970 in Los Angeles) is an American singer. Nicknamed the "Cosmic Mama" or "Pearl", she first distinguished herself in the late 1960s as a singer for the psychedelic acid rock group Big Brother and the Holding Company and, later, as solo artist with his support groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band.
Initially she breaks your eardrum with her voice and then she comes back and caresses him. Incomparable voice after 50 years. Incredible! Even the orchestra behind her is amazing!
