    I was lucky enough to stand at the foot of the stage while she tore her heart out and handed it to the audience, with each and every song. She took us through intense pain, heart ache and loss and we were broken right along with her. There was no way to thank her enough for huge gift she gave us. Some things make it worth being 70. This is one of them.

      Yes you were fortunate to be there. We are contemporaries. I feel so fortunate to have been exposed to and immersed in this music as it flowed into the culture. It marks one to have had this at a formative age when our culture was in a formative stage.

      I was lucky enough to see Janis twice in.1969, once very close to the stage. She played the first Atlanta Pop Festival, next to last act. Everyone worn out, tired after a weekend of music. After first bar of first song everyone up on their feet with Janis! No-one like her, I've been in love with her ever since.

    I love how she walks out like she’s nervous, destroys the place, makes history, changes the way women sing rock ‘n’ roll for all time, and darts happily offstage.

      Her skipping offstage is a gift. To see her satisfied and happy is a wonderful vision for such a sad woman.
      I hope everyone watches Little Girl Blue, a PBS special about her life. The original source of her pain is so surprising.

The guy who knew her well at the time that happened and played with her in the band while in Austin started crying when he told that story because it hurt him so bad that her it her so badly.

    I loved Janis when I first heard her almost 50 years ago and I still do. She's amazing. That was Mama Class in the audience with her mouth open and then saying ,"Wow, wow....."
    Janis lived a lot of pain and loneliness. You could really hear it and feel it. Thanks for sharing this.

    I love Janis Joplin! I'm from the 50's,so I would listen to her, and Jimi Hendrix the doors, and all that good music. The blues, jazz,soul! That's where it's at! I used to be, or still am, an old hippie! And there's music from Janis Joplin uncut's that nobody's heard you can find it on UA-cam. It's great, and I love Stevie Ray Vaughan great blue's....besides BB King, and James Brown which I love, and Marvin Gaye my goodness I can go on and on. You know your music well for being so young! 👍🏽❤⚘

    At this very same concert both Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding each did one of their greatest performances. At this, The 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, Jimi's performance of "Wild Thing" is still shocking to this day. Otis Redding's beautiful performance "Try A Little Tenderness" is the best live version he ever recorded. Days long gone.

    Amplified blues. Love Janis and the absolutely amazing Big MAMA Thornton . Big MAMA is very underrated . And another amazing blues artist Victoria Spivey real stories of pain . Spider Webs is a sad song about drug abuse in the 1920s yes the 20's.

    • @nyrockchicxx
      @nyrockchicxx 4 роки тому +2

      The night she died she WAS feeling alone. What she didn't know was there was a letter waiting for her from the most recent guy she'd been seeing that he was coming to see her. This guy had made her very happy and she had been clean & sober with him. So she didn't pick up the letter from the desk clerk at her hotel and didn't know. Instead she felt very lonely and picked up again to a tragic result we all know.
