- We are back in Hollywood, California to retrace the final day of music icon, Janis Joplin. Joplin was in Los Angeles recording her album Pearl at the legendary Sunset Sound on October 3, 1970. Following a recording session, Janis joined some of her bandmates at Barney's Beanery before returning to the Landmark Hotel (now called Highland Gardens) in room 105. She injected herself with what would be a life ending dose of heroin and was found dead in her room at the age of 27. Join us today as we talk about the final day and the death of the legendary Janis Joplin from the location where it happened.

Its cool the new management allows visitors & embraces tourists. What a cool looking place. I'm old enough to remember her, a classic voice & style & she's gotten her props as she should.
Ugh really money Maker
Thanks for this video. I saw her Dec 5, 1969 in Atlanta at the Old Piedmont Park Auditorium for Ga Tech. Between songs while she was talking to the band, I stood up and hollered, "Janis, we love you", the entire place got real quiet and she came back to the microphone and in that low gruff voice said, "Bullshiiit!" The place went crazy and her and the band went into their next song. I sat down while my 18 year old heart was about to leave my chest. What a great night, I spoke to Janis and she spoke back, to me. I still remember the exact moment I learned of her death so many years ago. Lot's of good stuff there! Look forward to more of your content!
That is a pretty neat moment!
@@FreyzelProductions It was a cool moment in my life for sure. Thanks again for making that ! She sure had my heart, maybe still does, a little!
@@MrIslandman59Gratitude for you!🤦🏿♂️
Saw her get arrested in Tampa 1969. She was cool! 😮
@@marknewton6984 She was arrested for vulgar and indecent language, found guilty, and fined $200 plus court costs!
Barneys was a go to spot for me as well. I never have n never will do drugs. Im 55. ❤🎉 RIP Janis beautiful vocals 🙏
That woman was built for the Blues! Long live the Blues!
I met Slash while sitting at the bar at Barney’s.
She was a true LEGEND and pure voice. I remember that day. Still have her vinyls and listen to her often
she sounded like someone was strangling a cat.
I remember that day like it was yesterday her song cry baby live brings out her awesome voice
R.I.P. Janice you are loved and missed
awesome voice? A voice only a mother can love...sheeeesh wtf
@@calikalbocalikalbo6082 You trolls really are disrespectful
@@ericsneary5430Why do you answer these dumb kids?🤷🏽♂️That’s what they want.Attention.Don’t give it to them.
FF: Janiis & Jimmy Johnson are former CLASSMATES!
Great tour, thanks for sharing with us. I’ve read about the details of her last day and passing, but have never before seen images of the places other than one photo of the outside of the hotel. Great work!
Thanks for all the effort you put into this video.
At 2:22 the park and the building you see across the street was a vacant lot in 1966 and that is where Bobby Fuller was found dead on July 18 1966
So sad he was murdered.😢
I was 13 when Janis died thank you for sharing this is the first video I see of Janis
I was also 13 years old.
Nobody cares how old you were in 1970
Thanks for all the info on Janis last days & her passing back in 1970. I saw her in concert back in 1969 (the year I graduated high school) at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino. MC5 opened for her that night, I remember it being very loud & wild.
You didn't "graduate high school," and neither has anyone. You may have graduated FROM high school, though.
@@mikegarippo7815 please get back on your meds
@@mikegarippo7815 i'll bet you are fun at parties.
Sad story
@@W.J.M. I'll bet you're a ton of of fun at parties where most of the attendees are uneducated and actually boast about it. I'll bet you fit right in.
My dad had a small Italian restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd in the early 1970s. My brother and I used to deliver Pizzas to the Landmark. Lots of parties, and music as I remember. Good tips too.
Don’t do DRUGs boys and Girls ❤
if they were legal and manufacture was controlled and regulated this stuff wouldnt happen
don't do hard drugs
@@joejones9520 Yeah, because nobody would OD from legal drugs. SMH
@@jdmb03 think
@@joejones9520 yeah cause you can trust regulated stuff NOPE!
Wow, that was awesome to see.
I've never seen that last picture of her before.
I was a big fan of Janis.
She was pretty amazing. Finding these places were pretty high on my list.
Back in 56 I was standing right there with Elvis.
Wow seriously?
😂 don't do drugs 😅
RIP Janis Joplin 🍁
Such a terrible loss she was a fantastic blues Singer had a big future ahead of her and blew it all with drugs. Sad sad
She was amazing!
I joined to see but can't do the money thing. I'm in 80's. Sorry
no worries at all. Everyone is welcome and watching is always free 😁
Where did you learn to capitalize the word "singer"? Whoever taught you is a failure.
Great that the hotel is still there at least. Take care all!
Back to back tragedies , Jimi and Janis , only a couple of weeks apart. Shortly after her death John Lennon recieved a cassette in the mail from Janis of her singing ' Happy Trails ' to mark his 30th birthday.
Also Jim Morrison a year later
Sweet, about Happy Trails. Damn. 😞
Thanks for sharing!
It's so sad to see all these good people pass due to drugs 😔 thanks jeff for going where I wouldn't be able to.
It really is. She was so talented.
River Phoenix.
Who says she was "good"?
Such a tragic loss of an amazing talent. The 27 Club has taken so much great talent away from us.
So many amazing talents..
hahahaha....Talent?.....hahahaha...oooookkkkkk
The saddest thing for me was aside from her body laying on the floor of her room for 18 hrs without being missed was only three people attended her funeral...her mom dad and aunt barbara...WHERE WERE HER so called * FRIENDS * !?!?! 😿💔🖤🥀👎👎😭🪦🖤
.
@@user-lf6nq4pq3y I did not know this! How awful. Thanks for sharing.
@@user-lf6nq4pq3y ....Why only 3 if so famous?
I remember sitting across from the exact spot where she died and singing her songs when I was in California a few years ago I could still feel her spirit there❤
Very sad may she rest in peace …. Tragic
Don’t do drugs to live longer than this person
Correct
@@BobHansen-ik1ln "This Person"? How young are you?
she sounded like someone was strangling a cat
@@rhinomechanics8423 irrelevant
I agree she has a terrible voice.
I think Freyzel productions handles celebrity deaths with a great deal of decorum and respect, but they are educational as well. I had just turned 11 when Janis died, but I really had no perpective of her death until I viewed this video. The so-called " 27 Club" has taken so many, so young.
Thank you very much 😁
Years after that tragedy I was staying for a while at a hotel/apartment in Hollywood. The late night desk clerk had worked at the Landmark hotel and was the last person to see and talk to Janis before she went to her room and OD'd. I have musician friends who knew her and she was not only wildly talented but they tell me she was really kind and a down to earth good person, too.
Thank you for this video.
Hello, new subscriber here from Australia, great channel 😊
Thank you very much and welcome! 😀
Great video. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for doing this.
This is so sad. Thank you for sharing i found it very interesting.
Very sad.
Another great artist taken way too soon.
Great video,sir!
no not really
@@calikalbocalikalbo6082 Anyone with a functioning brain knows she had a lot of talent
@@ericsneary5430 ......As is my point, anyone knows she wouldn't even make past round 1 on a talent show today.
@calikalbocalikalbo6082 depends on what type of music you are referring to? Anybody that could replicate Odetta's vocals is huge
@@brianwells4507 ......Nobody would have a chance today with that god awful voice.
Update. It's a shelter facility for the needy. You cannot enter the building at all unless you stay there. They don't allow visitors either. I asked if I could see the room, but security will not allow it and they may lose their housing. My uncle and his 30 something year old son are staying in that room. My cousin has not reported any strange occurrences, but my uncle claims to have had visits from Janis.
Thank you for that update. I was wondering what was going on with the place.
@@FreyzelProductions My uncle can tell you lots of stories from his life, but he did live quite a life, running away from an abusive home at 15 with his brother to Chicago from Brownsville, TX and later in life working at Mc Donnell Douglas in Long Beach during the 70's and 80's, being an Elvis impersonator and one heck of a dancer. Back in the 60's in Los Angeles would go to parties and ballrooms and was the date of Connie Francis for a short time. I believe he experienced something in that room and he says the spirit followed him to other locations. Sounds spooky and off-putting but it does not seem to bother him. It's like he kinda likes it. He would be an interesting person to interview. Most who lived 80 years and remember their lives are. His memory is still intact.
I remember hearing about her death on TV, I had just started going to High School in NYC in 1970, this was a few months after the tragedy at Kent State where 4 students were shot to death by the national guards while protesting on campus against President Nixon invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam war.
Did your teachers in high school teach you to capitalize the words "high school"? If so, they should have been fired.
4 dead in Ohio. may they rest in peace. I remember too well Kent State on May 4, 1970!
@@mikegarippo7815What are you? The school monitor? Stop trolling on everyone’s comments!
My friend now lives in her bedroom that she lived in here in Austin tx when she went to UT the landlord even has pics of her playing acoustic guitar in the back yard
That is pretty awesome!
can you share please?
far out man!!
Rest In Eternal Peace Janis ♥
She Lives on.
Nice work
Sad loss, R.I.P. JANIS XXX
I walked in most of those places living around years ago those places have so much history! Janis was so good, one of a kind, she didnt have a clue that 55+ years later we would still lusten to her!
Great video. Nice job bro!
Thank you!
*Yep. I did **_"Learn A Little Somethin."_** DON'T MESS WITH HEROIN!!! Thank You. And Have a Good Evening. Drive Careful.*
I didn’t become a Janis fan until I was a bit older. I was in the 10 years old generation when she died.
I became a guitar 🎸 player at age 12. Now 64, I am really into music 🎶 and playing the blues. I really liked her soulful voice and her band. ❤☮️
A singer who has gone to artist's paradise. ❤❤❤😢😢
LIFE WITHOUT YOU (C)2006 ❤
Watching the clip of janis on the Dick Cavett show back in 1970(?)
She spoke about how she was going to her high school reunion
and mentioned people didn’t treat her nice there, when she was growing up.
I always thought her eyes were so sad.
she had facial features that many women in this general texas/louis. gulf region also have and the way she often looked and sounded in conversation like she was possibly near tears is also another trait ive noticed here
Thank you for feeling it, Janis.
I miss you, sweetie.
All I think of when i see photos and videos of her is that she was still a child.
A great one of a kind talent gone far too soon. So earthy hot 🔥🔥🔥
RIP, MS. Joplin, you live in our hearts forever. 💐
She was a crazy hippie.
Amazing talent that will always be remembered 🙏
I went there in 1999 but the night clerk would not let me see the room. He said it had all been altered. I took photos of the lobby and the exterior.
Thank you
I'm a HUGE fan of Janis but the sad part is,she died 8 months after I was born..I wish she was still alive today i would of loved to see Janis in concert!! 😢
You "would of loved"? Too bad that there's such no word construction in the English language. You created a new one there--but not because you're a gifted writer, l assure you.
ignore the comment from that replier. he's a jerk.
So sad to go down in some funky hotel!
Man. What a Voice !!!!! Still, to this day Unmatched. NO Female singer has Ever matched that powerful Bluesy Voice.
RIP Janis. Even at age 69 I was not aware of 90% of the information presented here. Thank you!
68 here. likewise!
@@jimmylieb5225 LOL...🤣🤣was that you living under the same rock as me???
My best friend went to school with her in Port Arthur.
Loved her music
This is stupid why would anyone want to see or stay by someone who died even though they were popular it’s creepy to me
I knew Janis Joplin through her bass player Brad Cambell,
I never seen her take drugs, but she loved Southern Comfort
and always drank a mickey before she went on stage. She had presence and a powerfull voice. R.I.P. Janis!
I was so distracted by her cool Porsche I had to pause and rewind about 3 times 😂 (late at night… ADHD)
Watching this brings tears to my eyes all the time so I did drugs just like her starting with LSD at 13 becoming clean at 25 some people made it some people did it a great loss to lose someone so loved
Very tasteful!!
I remember when she passed. She ended up being an exemplum for "Just say nO!"
I WAS 9 WHEN JANICE JOPLIN DIED. BLESS YOUR HEART ♥ JANIS 🙏
RIP Janis 🙏
So sad...Janis was/is an amazing talent and listen to her music today in 2024 ❤❤❤ Many thanks for sharin' ❤
How sad
My oldest brother dated her a few times when we lived in Orange, and she lived in Port Authur. He said she was wild and crazy. Nothing was off limits for her to do or try. She sure got famous though.
I grew up with her and Hendricks and Jim Morrison best ever
27 Club: Also Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat (played at Woodstock). Alan od'ed fourteen months after Brian Jones, two weeks before Hendrix, four weeks before Janis, and ten months before Jim Morrison. Janis undoubtedly had just heard about Alan's death in L.A. that month at his bandmate's house.
Don't do drugs.
Hi - Very interesting info about this popular entertainer. Drugs have been responsible for the death and illnesses of many folks in the music and arts communities. Thank you for posting this memorial-like and meaningful video.
I love, her. At the time of her death I was 14 months old.
Rip to her
Great video, thanks. I'll be on vacation in La next week. Maybe I'll convince the wife to take a walk over here and check it out.
Clive Davis did it!
So much evil in Hollywood.
I've always felt that in my heart too. Clive is evil
Janis lives in me
Janis is a piece of my heart, forever and ever❤
😂
Those lonely rooms I love JJ
Can’t find my keys and forget my grandkids’ birthdays but I remember that day, very well.
she used a vocal technique that few have the ability to do, that's why her songs are so hard to cover
You have a strong Minnesota accent!!!
Yes! Look up “Musicians who died at age 27.” It will blow your mind.
She definitely had a distinctive voice. Her band had a good sound too.
People forget Joseph Carey Merrick. AKA The Elephant Man is also part of the famous 27 club🙏👍👌☝️🐘❤
What I find amazing and puzzling is the fact that this very plain looking motel is still standing, and especially when you consider where it is. But the chateau marmont is shabby looking also. If drugs were legal and REGULATED overdoses would plummet because people would know exactly what they were taking.
yep on last sentence, i was eviscerated for writing same thing but that just shows how limited in thinking most are
Fun Fact: Stephen King wrote a short story in which Janis is still alive and living off the grid in a little town in Oregon called RocknRoll Heaven.
injecting herion - not playing the long game... she didn't care
rest in peace troubled soul 🙏 🕯 🎶 ✨️ 🧚♂️
Barneys beanery was made famous in a NRPS song, i think its LA cowboy❤ being a child of the 60s its a shame so many of our music icons are no longer with us
I was folding newspapers for the Orange County register when I noticed both on the front pages. I was sad for being so young
Joplin, Missouri, I presume.
❤ too much truth about the man gets swept away like dust and sand . Watch your lyrics and what you say unless you 're quit to live another day.
Too Many Of Us Put TOO Much Thought On How Someone Dies Or Where It Happened...REMEMBER HOW THEY LIVED AND HOW THEY WERE❤❤❤
Janis was a regular at my brother's bar in San Fransisco he has some great stories about her.
Can you interview him and share please?
Lord have mercy what a tragic loss from my home state of Texas Port Arthur to be exact not far from Beaumont, where Johnny and Edgar Winter grew up poor Janis just a child of the times man just like Jimmy and Jim Morrison but I saw quite a few different pictures of the last time she was at that studio that night or should I say that day before she was going to do her vocal tracks with that same bottle of Southern comfort that was her to man and in some of the pictures I have seen who was taken by the actual photographer. I won’t reveal his name. He has some really great shots. Well, maybe not great shots but you can actually see she’s got the bottle in her arm hand and you could actually see track marksin her left arm
She was lightning in a bottle.
I had just went to Vietnam when she died
I was on my second deployment.....
@@bobbys4327 I was in Phu Cat. But I hate to even mention it now days, because I get this idiot that claims he’s trying to stop stolen valor getting on and asking me all kinds of questions like I care whether he believes me or not. Have you had that happen?
@@ronniebishop2496 Phu Cat, Bien Dien.............no never had that happen.
@@bobbys4327 Yes Bien Dien province up from Quin Juan a real nice Air Force base,with ROKs on the ocean side the army south side.?
So sad.
