      I dispute that we didn't know what we were watching. I certainly did. The fact that she still effects me the same way today is a testament to her enormous gift. While I love most of the old classics, very few effect me the same as they did when I first heard them. Janis is the exception.

    You did NOT overreact! She is one of one. She’s raw, authentic, soulful, and all around greatness. I’m just glad to see someone appreciate her like you do. I do too. Her last album it was said she was learning really when to tone her vocal back and when to blast it, she was really learning more about her powerful voice. Once in a lifetime talent. Just imagine how many more great sings and performances she had in her? Gone way too soon.

    The Woman saying "Wow!" at the end of the performance is Cass Elliot of the group the Mamas and the Papas ("California Dreaming", etc), who was one of the people who set up the Monterey Pop Music Festival. This was Janis Joplin's introduction to world fame; previously, she was just a singer for the band "Big Brother and the Holding Company" who were backing her in this performance.
    Just a poor girl from Lubbock, TX, bullied and overlooked in school, but Janis loved the Blues. She was 24 that day in June 1967. She died from her own self-destructive behavior just 3 years later, in October 1970.

      Actually, she was from Port Arthur, Texas, and went to college at UT Austin. I was a student there at the time. She used to perform at Threadgill's, a legendary beer joint in a converted gas station, on Wednesday, which was folk night. I saw her there a couple of times playing her autoharp and singing. She was something different, even then.

When I listen to "Work Me Lord", never a dry eye. It's just gut wrenching. Please react to that one. It's so great to see people like you who didn't live through this era, appreciate this poor creature who tore open her soul for us. RIP, dear Janis. ☮️to all.

    Her self esteem was so low because she didn’t fit in with the mean and prejudiced set in high school down in Port Arthur, Texas. They treated her like an outcast and in college voted her “ ugliest man on campus”. She never got over it. She was better than all of them. And the world loved her!!
    Her biggest influences were Aretha, Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Tina Turner , Otis Redding and more.

    Just before the end of her life, she went on as a guest with Dick Cavett on his TV talk show and talked about being run out of town as a teenager in Texas, and that she planned to return for her 10 year anniversary. "I'm going home," she told Cavett. Unfortunately for Janis, she did go back and the residents snubbed her ONCE AGAIN. It must have been a bitter pill to swallow for Janis after feeling she had conquered those childhood haunts.

    She was really something.❤️ You’re right, she did put her life into this. Watch her feet. She’s literally giving the audience EVERYTHING she has.

    Your reaction is how my soul feels when I listen to her, for 40 years, every time. Right? Like you just have to stand up and shout...so glad you love it.

    You did not overreact! Janis was a gemstone that the world, at the time, didn't recognize her beauty. Now we wish we had her back.

    Her guitarists name was Sam Andrew. He was a member of the band named Big Brother and the Holding Company. They were already performing when the group's manager brought the diminutive singer named Janice Joplin to perform with them. They knew right then they had something special.

    So glad we requested this because Janis needs to be heard and her legacy continue onto the younger generations!
    She'll always be my favourite female singer ever, and if someone doesn't like her singing, well then you're not my kind of people. Full stop. Same goes for Led Zeppelin!
    Janis was pretty much unknown here, at the Monterey Pop Festival. After this her career took off, big time. So sad, we didn't get to know what her 30 s/40s and beyond years would've been like.
    Must do Summertime, live( black and white video). Summertime is an old song from a musical. It was made famous by Ella Fitzgerald. Many many have covered it. We sing it in choir even. Love your reactions. They're true and honest. No BS

    One of the best reaction videos I've seen...THANK YOU!!! I've always loved Pearl and I'm almost 70. One of my high school coaches went to school with Janis, She was from Port Arthur, Texas next to Beaumont, where George Jones was from. Record exec Clive Davis was there at that festival and he too was blown away and signed her shortly after. She passed away way too young at 27. Same age as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.

    Monterey Pop means the Monterey Pop Festival from 1967. "Ball and Chain" is a blues song written and recorded by American blues artist Big Mama Thornton. Although her recording did not appear on the record charts, the song has become one of Thornton's best-known, largely due to performances and recordings by Janis Joplin.

    She (and Mavis Staples) are my two favorite female singers.
    You should hear Work Me Lord Stockholm 1969.
    She put everything into that performance.

    NO You did not overreact!! Janis was my favorite female vocalist my whole life! I was a teen when I started listening to her and then soon after she died... it was devastating!!!! A sweet talented young woman was taken out of this world.. I guess God needed her to sing up in heaven for all the angels

    I’m closing in on 53 years old, and this song was already apart of the regular rotation in my household when I came home from the hospital. All these decades later, when she raises up that egg that is her soul and cracked it open on stage, I am floored.
    Yeah, mama Cass was stunned, and we are all Mama Cass when we experience this. Seeing someone experiencing it and getting it for the first time is a beautiful thing.

    I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see young people "getting" Janis. She was/is one of a kind. She speaks to the soul and spirit. I'll tell you the video that you need to watch and react to is "Cry Baby" live in Toronto. Trust me, I'm a huge Janis Joplin fan since the late 60's. You really need to watch this live version of Cry Baby

    Even though Janis Joplin could belt out singing, she inherited a lovely soprano from her mother. She actually covered a Bee Gee's song on her first solo album in 1969: "To Love Somebody" originally written and recorded by the Bee Gees.

    She was discovered here with the band Big Brother and the Holding Company. Never been another like her really. She was so young only 25 at this performance.
