The woman in the sunglasses staring in disbelief is Mama Cass, of the Mamas and the Papas.
Yep, that's Mama Cass
Another GREAT.
Ty i thought that might be her
Yip, Mama Cass is another musician who died young.
Damn, I would've never known. She doesn't look how I remember her looking. Thanks for letting us know, at least those of us that didn't know. That makes this even more bad ass.
Janis wasn't about technique ..it was all about heart and pain.
Well... and about alcohol and drugs.
@@DerEchteBold about wildness and 70's
@@fliproleluwu5602
Kinda what I said, wasn't it?!
Btw, she didn't experience much of the 70s really.
And talent!
@@constanzaed
People always say 'talent' when it's about someone they like but what does it even mean, could you please define talent?
Pure, raw emotion isn’t something you could ever be taught, and Janis was loaded with it. She poured her soul into every note she sang, and she completely captivated people with it. There can never be another like her.
the difference between real music and today's music is ... it was about passion .... feeling ... emotion and connection ... what i find is missing in a lot of today's music .... and the fact that people like Janis Joplin is pure raw music ... music is pretty much lost now a days ...
@@Kanieht.L us youngins don't get much opportunity to drop acid
Exactly. Anyone who doesn't understand the majesty of raw power shouldn't be teaching vocals. Janis sang the blues with such purity. The woman who created Ball and Chain, Big Mama Thornton, loved Janis's version. If you know blues, really know blues, you know Janis was one of the greats.
@@davidjanssen894 That's blues and if you don't get that I'm really sorry for you.
I am a 55 year old black man, and even I will admit how much sweet soul and heart this Texas white girl had! She really got me into jazzy soul music!
Ya , brother . This don’t have any color . Pure soul
You should get out more.
@@richardj9016why?
I love Mama Cass' expression. She was totally carried away.
She was so absorbed, but then the mamas and papas where all about vocal excellence, she certainly would be absorbed.
Cass was bewildered, befuddled, astonished.
Check out Cass Elliot singing "Wild Women Don't Sing the Blues" with The Big Three. It's an amazing performance! This was before the Mammas and Papas.
There's no point trying to analyse Janis. She's beyond understanding
She's not analyzing her in a judgmental way.
More emotion per note than any singer ever; it's not just listening to Janis it's feeling her. Tragic that we didn't get so much more. She's making the angels gasp and weep now.
Hahahaha
As soon as she started signing a chill ran down my backbone. Janice was great. So sad that so many people think they can play with fire and not get burned. Many have the scares and many lost the game. Best not to even play.
Interesting that Janis didn't need a voice coach to tell her how to sing. She just did it. Even Mama Cass, a belter herself, was blown away by Janis' performance.
wasnt janis inspired by otis redding
@@bigfrankfraser1391 yes, she seen him in concert c. 1965/1966/1967, she subsequently wanted horns in big brother but that never flew until she went solo
@Jose Gonzalez Janis actually did work with vocal coach Judy Davis for a while in the summer of 66 by request of the band. She stopped working with the instructor. Mama Cass was intrigued by the performance but had said in interviews later that she was not a fan of Janis's singing style. The shocking thing about Janis Joplin in 1967 was that no white women had ever expressed themselves in the same way as she. That is why the imitators now sound so cheesy because they are doing the white woman rocker raspy voice blues thang'. Real blues singers don't do the screaming. They make marvelous and seductive vocal sounds but not just by outright screaming. Janis herself stopped the screaming because it would have destroyed her voice in a short time. She took up a very microphone technique of using a rasp. With excessive volume it sounded very powerful but if you heard her in a room it was actually not very loud as singing in a rasp would not be. She was in the right place at the right time to make the impression that she did.
I didn't like a singing coach reacting to raw talent that never needed coaching. It hurt 😢
@@DenPrice-qw5gx I think it's really interesting to hear the notes of a professional singing coach, they can tell you exactly how the person with raw, self taught talent is using their voice.
My favorite female vocalist. Pure emotion....even Mama Cass said "wow" watching her. Janis was special...one of a kind.
Janice just tears your heart out with her singing. When a pro like Mama Cass sits there in the audience with her mouth open and says "Wow," you know you're in the presence of greatness. Listening to her still brings a tear to my eye even after all these years (I'm 73). Her life was tragic, and she never lived to see how much she was loved, but we'll always have her incredible soul with us every time we hear her sing.
Janis wasn't a singer; Janis was pure raw pain, soul, awesomeness!
I cannot hear Janis sing without getting goosebumps. My favorite artist by far.
No auto tune, no computers, raw and unfiltered Janice tipping her heart out on the stage.
Not all of her songs were like this. This is pure emotion.
I was so happy when I saw she was doing this one. This is one of my favorite Janis Joplin performances.
Vocal 180 Chaos likewise
Her roots are in the blues and she is a legendary performer. Even the musicians of her time were blown away by her raw tallent.
I love how Janis digs deep. She really gets in there with her songs. It’s not about polish. She doesn’t flutter around the surface. And of course, she could REALLY sing. Janis Joplin was so one of a kind.
Fifty-plus years on, this song still sends shivers down my spine. It is driving, aggressive, gripping, bone-shattering. It blew our minds then and still does now. With all the booze and smokes, I doubt Janis could have kept her vocal powers at this level for many more years. It broke my heart when she died but we will always have this marvelous recording to take us back to that Summer of Love.
This performance opened the doors for Janis, who wasn't widely known at the time. And don't forget the band: Big Brother and the Holding Company. Joplin was actually just their lead singer, not the star!
Janis was not a bombastic person on televised interviews. She could get out a hearty laugh but was often soft-spoken.
Thanks for doing this one. I'm headed to the basement to put some old vinyl on the phonograph.
Kudos for the videographer who did such a great job and preserved this performance.
She had that rare ability to sing with all the heart and soul she could muster and leave it all out there, holding nothing back. What a talent! Thanks, enjoyed your take on the video.
There’s no analyzing Janis and her pure, raw, soulful genius. Those people are so lucky to be there and witness this live. RIP Janis 🖤🖤🖤🖤
What's astonishing is that nobody, neither us or Mama Cass might be able to see this video because the new manager of the group actually didn't know them so well to let the filmakers tape their performance. Mind changed after the unbelievably positive reaction of the crowd, so they did a second perofrmance the next day. They were the only band to perform twice in the festival.
Janis gives me chills.
She's an artist, not a singer. I love art.
And the boy ?
She is one of the greatest artists of all time.
"that girl" is Cass Elliot of the Mamas and Papas. You should check her out. She was fabulous but also died too young.
If Mama Cass had given her sandwich to Karen Carpenter,they might both still be alive!🤣
@@iancrombie8862 ooo dark...funny but dark
@@iancrombie8862 Damn! With the harshness.
This chick doesn't even know how to "listen" to art.
@@iancrombie8862 I'm fairly certain the sandwich choking story isn't true.
When you see Mama Cass Elliot say "WOW" you know it special
"That girl", the one with the sunglasses mesmerized by Joplin's singing, was 'Momma' Cass. One singer electrified by another.
SHE IS STILL ROCKING IN 2020 . REAL TALENT NO AUTO TUNE CRAP LIKE HIP HOP AND RAP MUSIC IS SO DEPENDENT ON .
This is my favourite Janis’ blues. What a pregnant concentration of genuine, aggressive feelings blowing up and down inside her truly mattered soul!
Janice was a goddess .. Everything she sang was pure heart and soul 😊❤️
I went to one singing lesson in the 90s at like a B'way song and dance style school and I told the teacher I wanted to sing just like Janis Joplin and the lady said Janis "wasn't even an actual singer, she just screeched." And "who would ever want to sing like that!?" That was my last day in her class.
What a horrible vocal teacher.
Janis isn’t about technique but about expressing pure open emotion and the blues. When she sang you could feel what she felt.
It's called singing with feel......And when you sing or play instruments with feel it becomes timeless.
Dang, I just love the blues! Janis was the blues in human form.
Monterey Pop Festival 1967. This was the very first concert I ever attended. I was 13 and this performance made me cry it it was so beautiful. First I had ever heard of her.
Thanks for requesting this Josh, I feel like more people need to know about this magical performance
Expressionist. Raw and heartfelt!! No auto tune or quantizer here!!!! One of the Best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Never have I clicked on a video so fast in my entire life. I love your reaction videos and I absolutely love Janis Joplin. This should be amazing.

I appreciate your reactions ! Could you do something with Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Al Jarreau, The Smiths, Nina Hagen, Randy Crawford, The Police/Sting, Curtis Mayfield , Milton Nascimento, Salif Keita as the best Brasilian and African Singers?
was that Mama Cass watching her??
Janice's larynx shredding wails: golden. The cringe on Beth's face: priceless.
@@salmonfire Yes
I am trying to find where to pull the plug and end her mouth spouting ignorance. Please take her off TH-cam. Read others reviews of her.
The Cheap Thrills's cut is the most impressive performance by a singer I’ve ever seen. Thanks from Brasil!
Your Welcome 😊
@@BethRoars , :)
"The goal (of singing) is to express yourself and to be truly uniquely you." This is especially true in rock and blues.
There are many intentional "inaccuracies" in blues. Blues doesn't follow all the rules. When reading blues music in 4/4 time, it is automatically assumes that the quarters are to be played as ROUGHLY 3/16 - 1/6, with the amount of that split being determined at the band's discretion. The lead melody in a song is often played slightly off beat, coming in at just a little bit past the beat. To achieve the desired effect, bent notes or minor notes are not always played to the normally expected/mathematical pitch. Blues is a very loose (and effective) art form. Blues should not be analyzed through classical eyes. It'll make you go cross-eyed! lol
The analysis by this woman would discount so many great artists like Mick Jagger and the entire punk movement. It's sad when people who profess to love art just don't get it.
I love You Beth, You have a Fantastic way of putting things into perspective. I try to watch a couple videos a week when I have extra time and I'm always glad I watched another episode or two. You're the Best! Keep it Up!! Love the Accent, Grood Grief, It's Awesome! Lol, ok enough, back to the point. I dig your channel, It's a 100 times better than anyone else I've found. You're the Queen on TH-cam! Two Thumbs Up!
Thank you for that. The performance at Monterrey is my favourite one of Janis Joplin's. She is incredibly young there, yet had already had a very hard life. Her voice speaks of pure emotion, frustration, anger, tenderness and unrequited love. The girl in the crowd is Cass Elliot of the Mamas and Papas.
She lived the blues long before she sang it.
This was the Monterey Pop Festival 1967. You can buy the film "The complete Monterey Pop Festival" by D.A.Pennebaker. Brian Jones from the Stones was there just to watch the show. Jimi Hendrix followed The Who and lit his guitar on fire. Rock. Cass Elliot looking on wonder.
She looked on in wonder because Cass knew if she lived a thousand years and regardless how well she sang, she would never sing like that.
The very first out door rock concert and am so glad I was lucky enough to be there in person.Three great days in my life and two months later pounding the jungles.
This performance put Janis and the band on the map. The Mamas and the Papas are the ones that put together the Monterey Pop Festival. It was shot for television, as noted by the 4:3 aspect ratio.
That girl shocked in the audience is the one and only Momma Cass from the Mommas and Pappas
Anthony LaPenta Yes indeed. 😊
When I listen to any Janis Joplin song she brings out my inner spirit.
Still gives me goosebumps after all these years
Janis sang from the soul. She described it in an interview once. She said you can't just sing it, you have to 'feel'' it. When she sang, it came from the depths of her being and it was felt by anyone who heard her.
She partly adapted her style from Roky Erickson of the 13th floor Elevators; they used to hang with the same crowd back in 66/67 in Texas
More like Big Mama Thorton
Finally, thank you very much, to me, best female singer of all times, you can feel her passion for music, I love Janis.
Your choices lately are exquisitely eclectic. Very interesting and fun.
God I love Janis more than anything but I really have to limit how much I can listen to her. I've become incapable of listening to her without welling up with overwhelming emotion & crying Every. Single. Time.
What the hell is up with that?!? Lol
OMG same...listening to her is emotionally draining ...... There's another version of Ball and Chain where there's spoken word at the end..... I go back to Janis now and again but there need to be a cooling off period lol
@@TheCornellJunkie Agreed. Gotta take her in small doses. Otherwise, melancholy sets in. Still, I miss that voice and those times.
Gone too soon. Breaks my heart every time.
I can’t listen to her song A Woman Left Lonely without getting emotional, her voice is like the tortured souls of women over the centuries bleeding through into one powerful scream. I adore her!
same here
Just love Janis Joplin so much. She is so amazing. Thank you for the react (even not understanding a damn about vocal techniques). Loved your channel too.
That was a great performance as so many were those three days.I went AWOL to be there and the 100 dollars I was fined and the article 15 I received were worth it.
Please do her doing Summer Time from the album Big Brother and the Holding Company.
First time hearing your anzlys. Good job. Been listening to Janis since the sixties. And I learned something tonight
Loving these breakdowns!!!!!!!
Hi Beth, the girl in the crowd looking enthralled is the one and only Mama Cass, and girrrl you have to listen to her sing. Oh my gosh--just wonderful. Cheers! Love your vids!!
This song was written by Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, who was an excellent vocalist in her own right. You really ought to give a listen to her original version of the song.
Hey! Check out my video where I react to Big Mama Thornton singing Hound Dog here: th-cam.com/video/DURgBSu0TK8/w-d-xo.html
Definitely.
Thank you again Beth! I’m not a singer by any means, but I am learning how to listen to music and lyrics much better! You’re awesome 👊🏼
Love your videos💕💕💕
3:38 "Nasally does not tend to be sexy."
Fran Drescher: *sigh*
Soooiiiighhh, if we’re going to transcribe precisely. ;)
Can't stand Fran's voice. At all.
Love this song such feelings.
This is the definition of music.
Janis and Jimi stole the show with their debut .
My favorite description of Janice Joplin singing is that it's like a cat in heat! She's always been one of my favorites since those years!
Pure and raw emotion. You can't learn that that's for sure.
I love the symmetry of the guitarists and bassists all using instruments with the same body style (two SGs and an EB-3)
Thanks for your interesting videos! 🌹
Pure heart and soul,just natural. Agree there will never be another!
Please look at Jefferson Airplane live at Woodstock singing White Rabbit. Grace Slick kills it.
She is amazing!
Yes!
Go ask Alice ,when she's ten feet tall!
The emotional connection, the power, I the feeling of the times .Well, Ya had to be there.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have no words for that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
"That girl's face." You mean Cass Elliot, Mama Cass from the Mamas and the Papas is sitting in the audience, so the camera grabs her reaction. A big girl with a big voice. She also performed at the Monterey Festival.
How does Beth not know Mama Cass......🤦🏽♂️😩
Fame is fleeting........
@@surfrunnerd8457 no "time is fleeting" thank you Riff Raft.(Rocky Horror Show)
I imagine she has heard California Dreamin' or Monday Monday somewhere along the line but didn't know it was the Mamas and the Papas . ☺
Young people don’t know anything.
Because both has pumped her own ego up. Beth ain't shit.
"The girl" you mention is (Mama) Cass Elliott of the Mamas and the Papas (California Dreaming, Monday, Monday). She broke out on her own and is most known for her version of "Dream A Little Dream" and "Make Your Own Kind of Music" - she died in her sleep at a hotel in London after a performance in 1974. She was just 32.
I very much enjoyed this
Janis Joplin actually grew up about 2 1/2 hours from where I grew up. My older aunts used to play her all the time.
Thank you for sharing.
The group is called Big Brother and the Holding Company, which Janis was a part of.
It's soul, 100% thanks for doing this one Beth
Beth, I recently found your chanel and I really love your videos, specially your PASSION for music and your lovely way of explaining all your assessments. Sorry for my bad English, greetings from Spain. You're lovely ;)
The legendary Mama Cass is in total awe,
This woman was unique and incomparable. Had she changed one thing she wouldnt be Janice.
Theres nothing to judge just feel.
And everyone there knew they were seeing a legend through their tearstained faces..heart and soul whips structure anyday.
Ohh yeah baby Janis got the blues!
R. I. P. Janis ✨💖✨
Exactly, is mama Cass (The Mamas And The Papaa) reacting Janis Joplin.
Mama Cass was a fantastic singer, she was the one that they focused on.
Lovely reaction!
"That girls face" ... Love it ... that girl is Mama Cass from The Mamas and The Papas ... another great singer of the era
7.03 Her face... that is Mama Cass from Mamas and the Papas 🙂👍
Mama Cass dropped her ham sandwich watching Joplin. 😆
Seriously, Cass loved Janis!
Ruskut She was musing "maybe I'll try what they're having...just before bed, while eating a ham sandwich"...What?, Too soon?
The ham sandwich story isn't even true. Just a little bit of newspaper hype. But you go boys. So cool of you reliving a joke that was old 50 years ago...
America Lost So you think the joke was old four years PRIOR to Ellen's death? Interesting. Of course I'm trolling, thus the "too soon" at the end of the comment. And yes the half eaten sandwich caused a silly tale, but heart failure is a generic blanket cause of death. As one medical examiner once said: "everybody dies because their heart stops". What would be interesting is to know what factors caused a 32 y.o. heart to stop. My guess would be apnea, which is common for overweight people when sleeping.
Todd Peucker i just repeated what she said 😂
Great reaction to a classic by Janis. Back in the day, bands had to be really good as there was no auto-tune, if you voice was bad, you didn't make it. I saw her Atlanta in 1969 and she was amazing, she put 1000% into her performance. In the 60's there were some very talented female singers, Mama Cass (Mamas&Papas), Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth), Grace Slick (Airplane), Joan Baez, Janis Ian. If you're interested, any of these ladies would be a good followup to Janis.
I Love when she says Beth Roars! And Twitter.
Fantastic review girl, love you. the girl in the audience that kept staring was Cass Elliot of The Mamas & the Papas
Please react to Nirvana Unplugged "where did you sleep last night"
Definitely!
Please let this happen😍😍
Leadbelly's original is better.
@@BlasphemousVerses it's not about "Better" with Kurt Cobain singing it, it's that in 1993 Nirvana covered a sing from an artist that no one expected. The expectation would be Stooges or whatever. Sorry you totally can't understand that
@@P715R Just having a conversation with yourself huh? I'm just saying that Leadbelly is awesome and most people have never heard the original let alone know it's a cover. I get you guys love Nirvana, but christ, relax.
Southern Comfort, bourbon w/honey... That multiplied by a rough childhood.... We miss her.
I was lucky enough to see her twice, just incredible.
Incredible i adore Janis !!
holy moly that was a roler coaster of emotions... one that is uniquely herself is Beth Gibbons of Portishead! she has what i call a cameleon voice. it changes from time to time. a bit like Mike Patton with all his projects! they don't just sing in 1 kind of tone or style... keep on rocking! :)
You need to react to Little Girl Blue to see a softer side of Janis
The live version from "This Is Tom Jones" would be my pick. Stunning.
Monterey Pop festival. Excellent concert movie. Janis ruled and this is a great recording!
Vocal coach is great for a play by play because Janis used so many tones ......thank you for that play by play......amazing insight...
