Mama Cass Elliot's reaction is so good. She recognized a true talent being introduced to the world. This was at the Monterey Pop Festival and I lived in Monterey for a decade. Every time I drove by the Monterey County Fairgrounds I'd wonder what it must have been like back in 1967 when it was going on and wishing I had a time machine.
Imagine being there and witnessing this performance for the first time. There was no TH-cam, no Spotify, no internet. This was truly Janis’ coming out party. It was no longer Big Brother & The Holding Company, it was all Janis.
Though BB&THC still was ONE HELL of a band and IMHO never really got the credit they deserved for finding and "launching" Janis. James Gurley's lead playing is still among my favorites. Acidic biting tone!!
@@billholder1330 - I agree! Of course we don’t know what went on behind the scenes but I’m not sure why they couldn’t stay together. Probably a slimy promoter.
Janis gave her whole heart and soul with every performance. She was a force of nature that burned so brightly for such a short time. She will go down in history.
There will never be another be another Janis, rest her soul. A reactor once said about her, her voice makes you feel like she could win a bar fight and also hold you in her arms and make you feel like everything will be alright.
Was so thrilled I saw Janis live in Calgary, AB a few months before she passed. She was such a soul blues entertainer I just had goosebumps every-time she performed. RIP Janis
No matter how many times I see this performance, I'm still amazed at how she completely nailed the ending, the last word 'chain'. It could not have been any better. I mean, she KILLED it! Just unreal... 😎
Back in the wonderfully tarnished era of raw emotional music talent when concerts weren't overly rehearsed with every move practiced and choreographed right down to hair flips and fake smiles. Just go on stage, live in the moment, and let the music possess you. I would take back row tickets to this concert a thousand times over rather than the best front row seats at any auto-tuned fluff-pop concert these days!
Absolutely! I loved music when music was from the soul. Let the musicians sing from their hearts. I know the stars of today still have it. Producers don't allow it. It is a sad season for music.
Keep in mind this was just before Janis gained national fame, Big Brother & the Holding Company was well known in the Bay area but not much beyond that, and Janis' name didn't even appear on the flyers advertising this concert. Cass was already famous, in a band that had multiple top ten hits.
Big Brother played earlier that day but wasn’t filmed. Mama Cass from the Mama’s and the Papa’s who helped put on the event insisted on Big Brother coming back later in the day to be filmed after seeing Janis’s performance. She performed even better the second time around and She became a star
Don't know if somebody has already said... But that performance was her second one of the day... That was her debut in the morning time and she blew people away so they told her to return for the evening performance when all of the big music stars of the day would be there.
@@Laura_Martin42 Still not likely. Mick, Keith and Ronnie in Rolling Stones are exceptions. They have combined drugs, not eating and taking care of themselves somehow so they are all three lean and mean zombies. Still, I think Janis took much more drugs.
What a fun and somewhat emotional reaction. That was cool. I really like your comments afterwards too, as a musician and Studio guy and composure and stuff a lot of my life, I really like it when reactors can pull in their own experience in that direction
Janis is pure raw energy with a strong, rough but great voice. I grew up in the same era as Janis and enjoyed her music. On the opposite end of the scale but in the same era is Annie Haslam and the group Renaissance. I suggest you check out their live performance RENAISSANCE - RTL4 Studio Luxemburg 1974 COMPLETE UNEDITED RARE LIVE PERFORMANCE [32 mins] youtube video. Annie's voice is the opposite of Janis's.
My wife saw her August 11 1970 at The Garden State Arts Center in NJ. She actually was roaming around the parking lot and Janis and entourage pulls up and asks my wife where is her dressing room is so my wife led her through the door and her dressing room was there. BTW Janis touched my wife's left shoulder and has been a fan for life. I took her to see Mary Bridget Davis A Night with Janis on Broadway, fabulous performance. Fitst row, center seat . She cried.
Of course, Janis was a firecracker of a singer, definitely raw and just letting her voice explode. This song is so utterly vintage blues, and her quiet vocal parts have a classic soul style. But then she also applied some soul when she blew it up and got loud.
"Ball & Chain" !!! One of my top 3 songs by her. Piece Of my Heart is another but #1 is the one that was released after her death ... Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby McGee (Audio) BTW I love to watch the on stage interactions between Jeff Beck and Tal Wilkenfeld Big Block 2007 crossroads ... Freeway Jam 2009... Stratus at Ronnie Scot's 2009 or sometimes listed as 2007.
Janis is a legend . . Under appreciated and often misunderstood a school . . . Great creators often are . . The smokey voice. . So cool .. . Great reacton . As a The Warning fan i along with many others eagerly await another The Warning reaction from you . . . Dust to Dust is a good one if you like Pau the drummer Till next time take care Bye from New Zealand . 🍷💐🇳🇿twa
Another raw and gutsy song , full of passion is Beth Hart live singing " Caught out in the Rain" . Also her song Am I the One live from the Paradiso in Amsterdam. She is rated as the #1 blues singer.
My oldest Daughter would get anger and us. She would storm off to the cellar and crank up Janis. The funny part was, she was listening to my cassette tapes.
First off... Love you and your reactions !! As a side note. Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company (relative "Unknowns" from San Francisco) played the first day of Monterey. The cinematographer, D.A. Pennebacker, was late to arrive and the first day was not recorded on film, so the promoters (this year the promoters were John and Michelle Phillips. "half" of the very popular group, "The Mama's and the Papa's". (That's why "Mama" Cass Elliot was featured in the recording) invited Janis back on the last day to perform "Ball & Chain" again, to be filmed. They also informed a bunch of "record labels", that this sensational women was going to perform again on the last day, so about 8 record companies offered her a contract, and she signed with Clive Davis from Colombia Records. The rest, as they say... "Is history" !!
i got to see her on live TV back in the early 70s pure passion and completly self taught, check her on the Dick Cavett Show, the girl with the rings was singer Cass Elliot of the Mammas & Poppas
dont have that app, phones to old to get, like myself, been a music fan my whole life 61yrs, started off a horn player, and progressed to running sound for a few local bar bands, just glad i grew up in the musical era i did, hd older cousins that played the best of the 50/60s, and i started going to concerts in 72
With cutout music these days, people with unique and amazing talent get so little chance to shine. We rob ourselves of so much. ❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Janis Joplin, one of the wonderful voices in the musical world, a unique and powerful voice, perfect for Rock and Blues. Please react to the music video for Something Beautiful that Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique released on his official TH-cam channel. Thanks.
A story out there ! She loved Southern Confort ! & got a indorsement deal , always had a bottle around ! Her manager took her to a party , To meet Jim Morrison They got along great then Jim got to drunk ! Janis wanted to leave & Jim tried to pull her out of the car to stay !!! Janis Smashed that bottle of southern comfort over his head !! knocked him out !!! She is a bad ass ...
I came home a few months after my Dad from the Navy My Mom said she bought tickets for a concert ok I am 20 years old and lovng my Mom - I will go It was Janis
I just love your channel ❤️ I really wanted you to react again to the Brazilian Gabriel Henrique, singing SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, the song is available on the TH-cam channel. Looking forward to seeing this reaction❤
Janis Joplin it's incredible! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I loved your reaction! Please, I would really like you to react to Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique singing Something Beautiful, a music video posted on his official TH-cam channel.
Mama Cass looks absolutely starstruck, and that's all there is to be said about this performance. When you make your big break and even the music royalty in the crowd looks shocked, you're going to be a legend.
Love your reactions. Wondering if you could check out the progressive metal band called TesseracT. The song “Legion” showcases the lead singers mastery of the human voice. Heavy at times, operatic at others, and very emotional. Goosebumps.
Great pick! Janis was amazing. Another deep blues cut by an amazing woman blues singer, check out Big Mama Thornton and the video on youtube "Big Mama Thornton Rock Me Baby 1971(Live)". What an amazing live performance that is!
Stage Presence coach? Have you seen any live video of Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake and Palmer? Flying piano and everybody knows that an ELP concert isn't over until Keith plays with his little organ. The Hammond C100 that he stabbed and threw around in a song called Rondo . Or Carl Palmer's solo at the California Jam in a song called Karn Evil 9. 1st impression part 2.
Your reactions are always very rich and respectful. Please react to the video clip of a Brazilian singer called Gabriel Henrique singing Something Beautiful released on his official TH-cam channel.
Consider also her recording of "Farewell Song" on the album, "Live at Winterland '68" by Big Brother and the holding company featuring Janis Joplin. (Audio only).
To paraphrase a quote from Tina Turner in "Proud Mary", Janis Joplin doesn't do anything nice and easy. She does it nice and rough! Janis never did anything part way and all her songs have the same raw energy and soulful pain that she displayed here. And as others have said, that was Mama Cass sitting in the front row, a successful professional singer with the Mamas and the Papas that had her mind blown by Janis. You should check out some of her other songs like Cry Baby, Piece of My Heart, and maybe even Summertime, where she brings her unique interpretation to a Cole Porter classic. So sad she joined the "27 Club" and we lost her great talent so soon.
Right time and right place. In today's, Auto-tuned pitch corrected world, she would never have stood a chance. And apparntly self confidence on stage was not much of an issue.
this lady with the ring is mama cass, the lead singer in mamas and papas
I wouldn't call Cass the "lead" singer. Denny, maybe.
She may not have been lead but she was the best
Yes Mama Cass.
She was also one of the organizers of the concert, but had never actually heard Janis before and was totally blown away...
cass was a great singer but in the M&P's she was part of a quartet and each had songs they sang lead in,
Mama Cass Elliot's reaction is so good. She recognized a true talent being introduced to the world. This was at the Monterey Pop Festival and I lived in Monterey for a decade. Every time I drove by the Monterey County Fairgrounds I'd wonder what it must have been like back in 1967 when it was going on and wishing I had a time machine.
Mamas&Papas produced this festival... There are 2 great docs, available here on YT Jeff, so you can get closer to that time for an hr!
@@fredkrissman6527 yes but Janis's performance wasn't recorded originally. But the reaction brought her back for the second time to record it.
Yes,@@rball690, as they explain in at least one of the docs here on YT.
I went for a walk...
I have one. LSD.
Janis' performance at Monterey got her signed. Apparently, Mama Cass wasn't the only one who was impressed.
Mama Cass in the audience was stunned by the performance, as was the rest of the public. Our reaction was one of awe and disbelief.
Imagine being there and witnessing this performance for the first time. There was no TH-cam, no Spotify, no internet. This was truly Janis’ coming out party. It was no longer Big Brother & The Holding Company, it was all Janis.
Though BB&THC still was ONE HELL of a band and IMHO never really got the credit they deserved for finding and "launching" Janis. James Gurley's lead playing is still among my favorites. Acidic biting tone!!

@@billholder1330 Great description- acidic, biting tone! Dirty and nasty and pure perfection.
The Ring is a cameo ring.
Janice made love to everyone in the audience, but went home alone.
This was her first major concert performance.
Janis gave her whole heart and soul with every performance. She was a force of nature that burned so brightly for such a short time. She will go down in history.
There will never be another be another Janis, rest her soul. A reactor once said about her, her voice makes you feel like she could win a bar fight and also hold you in her arms and make you feel like everything will be alright.

She grew up in the same area as Johnny and Edgar Winter. Lot of good music from the Golden Triangle of Texas.
And George Jones.
Back in the wonderfully tarnished era of raw emotional music talent when concerts weren't overly rehearsed with every move practiced and choreographed right down to hair flips and fake smiles. Just go on stage, live in the moment, and let the music possess you.

Saw Janis in Atlanta along with creedence ,blood sweat and tears ,what a show
That bass player at the beginning was seeing ghosts in the sky man and talking to them. 🤣🤣
during this time Mama Cass was considered music royalty.
She still is !!!
You could simplify your job as a Stage Presence coach by simply showing your students any Janis live performance and saying "THIS!"
Keep in mind this was just before Janis gained national fame, Big Brother & the Holding Company was well known in the Bay area but not much beyond that, and Janis' name didn't even appear on the flyers advertising this concert. Cass was already famous, in a band that had multiple top ten hits.
@theconfidentsinger_overthere Buzz off, spambot.
Janis has the power to shake my soul when she sings, one of a kind, gone too soon. 😍
lady with sun glasses is famous Mama Cass Elliot. That's why the camera was showing her reaction. People with big money have big rings.
Janis brings tears to my eyes everytime. I loved her 😢
This was a lifetime ago. Amazing !
Big Brother played earlier that day but wasn’t filmed. Mama Cass from the Mama’s and the Papa’s who helped put on the event insisted on Big Brother coming back later in the day to be filmed after seeing Janis’s performance. She performed even better the second time around and She became a star

Janis was the queen of everything! There will never be anyone better. Heartbreaking that she isn't still with us.
If she was alive she would be 80. Not impossible, but with her life style not likely.
@@rolandkarlsson7072 Two words-Keith Richards!
@@Laura_Martin42 Still not likely.
Mick, Keith and Ronnie in Rolling Stones are exceptions.
They have combined drugs, not eating and taking care of themselves somehow so they are all three lean and mean zombies.
Still, I think Janis took much more drugs.
Janice was awesome she really got into it, so much power
Hey you made a new bumper sticker, " DON'T GO TO A THERAPIST , LISTEN TO BLUES MUSIC INSTEAD" AWESOME LOVE IT!! 😍 JANIS WAS A 🐐BEFORE WE KNEW IT 😢❤!!
Cass Elliot…. I saw Janis in Chicago in 68 with my brother and mom and dad….I was 12. Lucky me …I’ll never forget it
I saw Janis Joplin in person in 1969 in Miami . Fantastic.
Noway ya gotta give us the details 😍
The bass player was checking out the UFOs after he took that L S- D tab
Every second of her is honest.
she is a soul singer
I LOVE YOU JANIS !
Amazing singer Mama Cass with the bling 😎
R.I.P. Janis. And R.I.P. Cass.
Just love watching your reaction. Such a beautiful girl. ❤️
What a fun and somewhat emotional reaction. That was cool. I really like your comments afterwards too, as a musician and Studio guy and composure and stuff a lot of my life, I really like it when reactors can pull in their own experience in that direction

BTW Janis touched my wife's left shoulder and has been a fan for life.
I took her to see Mary Bridget Davis A Night with Janis on Broadway, fabulous performance. Fitst row, center seat .
She cried.
And after that powerhouse performance, she skips off stage like an 8 year old leaving school for the day after the bell rings
I know, wasn’t that charming????
She knew she killed it!
Meet Janis Joplin!
She put her everything she had song R-I-P
Of course, Janis was a firecracker of a singer, definitely raw and just letting her voice explode. This song is so utterly vintage blues, and her quiet vocal parts have a classic soul style. But then she also applied some soul when she blew it up and got loud.
Janis was a member of the 27 club. RIP.
Saw Janis along with Black Oak Arkansas and Three Dog Night along with others in South Carolina at a 3 day outdoor concert .
Eterna Janis Joplin lendária

Till next time take care
Bye from New Zealand . 🍷💐🇳🇿twa
Saw her many times at the Filmore west back in the day. She always gave 100% never held back!
Another raw and gutsy song , full of passion is Beth Hart live singing " Caught out in the Rain" . Also her song Am I the One live from the Paradiso in Amsterdam. She is rated as the #1 blues singer.

one super star mesmorizing another super star
I always say educate to elevate..🔥💪👍🔥🔥🔥
She is Birdsong, she is The Pearl. Great reaction!
Mama Cass reacts. Every bit as famous as Janis. She is loving Janis.
You are such a beautiful lady, I wish l were 30 years younger!! I love your reactions...
I love the end, when she skips off stage.
Consider also her recording of "Farewell Song" on the album, "Live at Winterland '68" by Big Brother and the holding company featuring Janis Joplin. (Audio only).
Note on another clip you see peter Tork from the Monkees watching Janis. They were all so blown away.

Mama Cass of the Mamas and Papas is that lady who is awestruck
Loooove your top/dress!
I heard a question on the radio one day asking if you could have a drink with ,someone , dead or alive , who would it be ? I answered Janis Joplin
Right time and right place. In today's, Auto-tuned pitch corrected world, she would never have stood a chance.
And apparntly self confidence on stage was not much of an issue.
Mama Cass. Her reaction. Two of my favorites. If Karen Carpenter were there it would be Tri-perfect.
@theconfidentsinger_overthere I'm on Facebook, google chat, and have an email or two.
@theconfidentsinger_overthere try again?
This must have been the house band because the blond guitarist was Allen Collins who played later with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Check out her song, "Cry Baby" live version. It will knock your socks off.
