@@christopherroley7157 the person who made the comments is 73 years old and in their lifetime (73 years) this is one of the best versions they have heard
Oh Lord she's got such a fucking saucy voice. I just adore her. You ever have a singer who seems to get to you? She touches my soul. Thank God above for P!nk.
As usual Pink gives a first-rate, top notch performance here. She has the ability to morph into the perfect state of mind while singing these old songs. She also knocked it out of the park while singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" at the 2014 Oscars. She's one of my favorite musical artists.
+Burak Ertug At the time that I first saw this, I wasn't familiar with her range. This inspired me to listen to more of her work. I agree with the sentiment that she is highly underrated.
WOW !!!!!!!! I was looking for some Janis Joplin tunes and got this........PINK singing Booby McGee BLEW ME AWAY.. I have heard of pink never heard her sing,never even knew what she looked like..#! shes a beauty.. her voice tops the list ..I can listen to her sing this song 1000 times over and over and still want more... been listening to more of her music..all I can say is WOW!!!! she got it!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!
Absolute HIGH END PERFORMANCE on this song! I've never realised that Pink can sing like that. She's one hell of a woman. Really powerful. I nearly can feel the heat of the flame inside her. Just awesome. I'm listening to this song over and over again. 11 years later and still one of my favorite songs!
I freaking love this. I also like the singers from my daze. But I accidentally found this and listen to it all the time. Girl has skills. Amazing. Anyone remember'The Rose' with Bett Middler ? Kick a$$ movie.
I will never understand why Hollywood has not made a major motion picture of the tragic life and times of the great artist Janis Joplin and starring Pink in the title role. The dynamic back story would be the social climate of America in the 1960's. Am I the only person who thinks that such a film would be fucking awesome ?
+Paul Masgalajian There's a documentary that I was fortunate to be at the premiere of last Friday here in Boston titled Little Girl Blue. See it, it was awesome.
+MinutemanSam Um, that is what Hollywood make=up artists are for. There is wigs, and then the freckles and then the glasses. With make-up and wigs, I'll bet Hollywood can transform P!ink into Janis in no time. ;) I'd lay money on it.
Wow. I can't believe this slipped through the cracks. Fantastic rendition and I just found it. I knew Pink could sing, but....wow this is just incredible!!
Wow !!!!! Damn Pink, you nailed it young lady. Where have you been? I see this was 2003 but I'm sure you still have your voice. You need to bring that back out and show people what true singing is. No computers or sound boards or whatever. Just a great voice. Great job. Gonna play it again...................
Pink really nails this tune of Bobby Mcgee .Dont think any other Artist, sing the song like the does... brings alot of love out of this cover session cut.super vibes connecting To the perfect guitar picker she could pair up with. Professional & classy done. Thanks, from south louisiana at lafayette city.
Really nice job Pink. I idolized Janice. My son knew this and sent me this version.. love it l!! Love the rasp she mimicked into it Thanks for uploading it
Imlostinmyhead l have heard many of her songs. I said she mimicked in a way to sound like the version Janice sang.. Jesus Fuckimg Christ you can't say anything in comments section without some pompous douche bag trying to sound like a know-it-all.. Hey know-it-all Go fuck yourself
hey Joseph..... if, as you say, you "idolized" her, I would think you know her name was spelled J-A-N-I-S, not Janice............... just sayin'............ I am not a fan of Pink but this is pretty damn fine.......
Keith, in a way same here, I love Janis and didn't think anyone could even come close to her, but the fact I love pink I had to give her a chance and glad i did.
He was obviously understandably was star struck!!! There was more than one last save on a chord change. Of course she is a pro and will keep on going! Love her
shes so awsome.She had a hard time in life so anything good that comes along she deserves.Iv watched her grow up and shes just beautiful inside and out.Love her.
Some singers out there might get close, but I have never seen anyone nail the ending so friggin perfectly. Wow. That's usually where they fall apart and that's where Pink can do a mic drop, I swear.
@@chrisw1430 Well u can say that....however I wager u were not there...then..60's (kidding) .however, she does the best version I've heard (and Crystal Bowersox).as well are the only ones to have done it; peace....
She really nailed this one. I think Pink is a great artist but she did an amazing job here. I love that she held true to Janis. She is an amazing artist and I am glad she did this cover. Great job ma'am.
The way Pink Respect the tones is just to much admirable. Wow! Pink is one of the biggest artist of her era. Janex Joplin will be proud of this tribute.
Pink dosent just sings she feels the music and spreads sooo much love in this peculiar world..... I wish my daughter and her daughter could sing together we adore willow and my kids so talented sometimes life creeps up on u...but I love that pink is one of my lil ones idols she's a strong women
I couldn’t stop crying. My girlfriend for three years has just left me. I am more moved by this song though. It’s odd how callous I am to this. I never thought this would be my life are
I'm a young adult now, but I can still remember sitting with my dad as a kid, and watching this with an amazed reaction, stunned by her voice and skill. She's one of a kind, truly. A beautiful woman, and an amazing role model to young women 💕✨
+Gabriele Fritz; she knows how good she is (though I won't say perfect because she's human), because no one can sing like she did in this video without knowing how good they are.
Of our time.....Pink? This is why music blows now days. Can we at least get some people who can play an instrument? My money is on Adele's voice by the way.
I'm going to go ahead and tell you I don't give a fuck what you say about music in general...you like Cinderella so I'll leave it at that. I won't go into the other shit 80's and 90's music you seem to enjoy. Keep your hard on for Pink my man and keep that shit hair band flag flying.
Classic awesome tune she made even better....., then the cutest little 'oops, I didn't change chord's on time cuz I'm so taken by you Pink' just freakin' adorable!!!! Love this!!!! Makes our heart's smile :),....
+Brett Carter I agree- my wife and daughter told me to check it out and I actually did and hate to admit that they are right lol. She is really a good diverse singer.
I have never been a Pink fan. Why? Quite simply because I wasn't exposed to her. I now realize I have been missing out. I had no IDEA she covered this song. She nailed it. She loved singing it. She glows while singing it. She is beautiful.
It is evident she enjoyed singing this song. Probably the second best rendition I've ever heard, had me seeing visions of Janice throughout. Good enough I think to gather up more band members and taking another whack at it. Didn't Janice have a unique voice? Gutteral, raspy, soulful. And she put her heart in it. Go for it Pink, you're singing is right up there.
So...I'm a creature of the 70's and don't listen to current musicians for the most part. But I loved this song so I figured I'd give it a shot. This chick did this song true justice. I'm sure Kris K. is proud of this beautiful cover, as Janis would be if she were still here. So, Pink... You got yourself a new old lady fan today. Well done.
I'm the same way, but when I first heard Pink a few years back, I heard the 70's in her singing. I am a diehard Janis fan and thought Pink did do this justice.
I love that raspy soulful thing she does. This guitarist goofed up timing and chord changes several times and she managed to ride it out until he found his feet again. She is flat out awesome.
I'm 60 years old and the new generation of female singers do nothing for me..have to show off tits and arse to mask poor vocals..but I make an exception for this lady..the awesome pink .. wow what a throwback voice..
Do a little research and you'll find she wasn't the first one to put it out on a record either. It was a different woman, with a much more sultry, jazzy, raspy voice. Janis was NOT the first woman to do this song.
Pink is awesome she really nails this song. I never really caref for pinks music but after listening to this song i think ill listen to more of her songs
she did this justice! awesome! she is the only one so far that I feel that can sing this as good as Janis!!! Janis was smiling down on her when she sang this !
She's amazing! My mom, who's in her 60s, and I got to see her in concert last year and it was the best concert ever! The crowd was so diverse with all different ages. How could anyone not like her? She is a beautiful and talented woman!
What a vocal tour de force ! Pink captured the spirit of Janice Joplin's original classic, but then Pink added a soulful element that is both plaintive, searing and playful all at once. This rendition raised goose bumps for me. Whew ! Amazing vocal pyrotechnics, without a single sour note to be heard.
This song is beautiful, listening to it took me back in time to a moment I will treasure forever. Thanks for uploading this beautiful song . I just love listening to Pink she is a wonderful performer
This just shows what a great singer Pink is, regardless of what you might think of her personally. You can hear a pin drop on this recording. This is as good as Janice. I love Pink.
It is better to light one candle then to curse the darkness... Pink! I met her in Berlin ten years ago...She used to call me Doc or Psycho...Cute drunken Witch! (...sessions were breathtaking...)
More than cute! She sings with Feeling, so she must know Pain! The words, "Freedom means nothing left to lose" is so cynical, I can only imagine that at that time, she had never been Free!. FREEDOM means everything, to live our lives without Dictatorship! To me, she is just a beautiful lost Angel, but I am sure My Darling Doctor, that you Touched her life, as you have so many of us! I now Dare to say, that I Love you, my Angel of Light, Wisdom. and Love!.

(5) One pair, In Love Forever!. There are more reasons - which I will share with you as we go along! Thank you so very much, for being interested! I am most Honoured!.
The amount of talent AND confidence it would take to even come close to Joplin's version was seemingly impossible....until 5 mins ago when I found this video. Wow, just....WOW! CHILLS! Well, gotta go. Have to watch this about 300 more times.
I was born in the 40s so when I hit 10 I was ready for "Rock and Roll" (Timing its a gift) This means I have set my idols of the day in concrete and then along comes the most unlikely person to change this old mans values "PINK" Brilliant.
Shark Alchemy yea, i agree, there are no real women "rockers" in mainstream music at all! that is a shame, maybe rock has died? pop has taken over every radio channel where i live unless you listen to the "oldies" channel, how sad is that?

Can't believe the comments! Idolising Janis, criticising P!nk, finding faults in timing and pitch... With all due respect to Janis Joplin, Alecia Moore - or P!nk - has been an amazing talent from her beginnings, like Janis was - almost spoiled by the industry but luckily recoiled back and remains consistent with her rock-based affinities. Technically, she is a great vocalist, learned and perfected her voice over time, worked with some great mentors (Linda Perry being one). It does not make sense comparing her singing with the technique of Janis Joplin. P!nk, adding to her talent and expressiveness, has been consistently working on her vocal technique. Janis was a heroin and alcohol addict and that was affecting her performances. You must nor forget that P!nk is a complete author of her music like Janis was. They have quite a lot in common. It is a shame that Janis died being only 27 years old. P!nk will be 38 this year. The song It is an urban country song composed by Kris Kristofferson, with so many great renditions since the one that Janis Joplin recorded. The session The session on TH-cam was a very old and an informal family gathering of Pink and her father Jim Moore who was a Viet veteran, not a professional guitar player. All the nitpicking for the performance really does not make much sense. Just enjoy the music!
you can tell shes well versed when she tells him to change the key from G to A, and then when they change the key again, the guitar goes to a different key then shes expecting for a second, but they fix it on the fly, most singers would not have noticed that, and the guitar player would switch keys to be with her, but instead, she did the fixing, as far as the pitch and tone, shes doing subtle signature things that janis used to do, while keeping her own style, as far as the vietnam vet, 2 reasons, this song was HUGE during vietnam, and shes playing it more as an emotional tribute then as a piece of repertoire
Song composed by a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University, awarded a Blue for Boxing, degree in literature, US Army Vet, helicopter pilot, actor, singer, RIP Kris Kristofferson.
KK was fabulous and Janis Joplin was the BEST! Pink sounds like a totally failing copy.......someone has to do it. Yes, her voice cracks, but it sounds BAD! NOT like Janis'!
Girl, I played keyboard on the original studio recording of this. This was the only recording of Me & Bobby with a keyboard on board with Janis. My good friend Sam Andrews (Big Bro & the Holding co.) didn't want a piano in the band. So that was it. You came pretty close to reminding me of that set with this cover. Kudos.
Stephen, you must have some interesting stories.....Janis rocked out supported by the best musicians. Big Brother/ Holding Co, Kozmic Blues Band, & Full Tilt Boogie Band. Did you sit in on any of these?
@@chisflanagan5498 Hi Chris, my relationsjp with Janis was mostly personal. It was the sixties and that means it was always a little foggy - which is sort of hard to explain if you weren't there. Sam Andrews was my friend then, and right up to his death 7 years ago - he was just a couple of years older than me. Janis and I were exactly the same age. I was a pianist/keyboardist and Sam and the other guys at BBHC and KBB were devotees of the Electric phallus so I never played with them. We jammed sometimes, tho, because I was a session musician. I'm really old now, and they say that if you remember the sixties - you didn't do them right. Well, I must've done them right, because I remember only certain scenes, sort of as flashbacks. Certain moments. Can't get the year or the sequence right most of the times. But of course the intimate moments stay pretty vivid and those I won't talk about. Visit Janis' Wikipedia page. You'll see me on there in the "various bands'" section and in the "solo career" section. Not much else to tell.
@@stephenryder1995 Hey Stephen, thanks for sharing what you do remember from so many years ago. My brother-in-law is retired now, but he was a sound guy for decades. He toured with Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon and others. He might even have met you. Small world.
@@chisflanagan5498 after 8/10ths of a century on the planet you begin to see patterns in types of people. I observed that some professions seem to be unchangeably hard-wired into people from the start. Policemen, photographers and musicians are three of the personality types that never change. These folks always were what they wound up to be, and no amount of time or circumstance alters that mentality. Other folks try this and try that and try to 'find themselves' but a musician is hopelessly smitten with the music from 8 to 80.
@@stephenryder1995 hey Stephen, it's Chris from a few months ago. As corny as this may sound, I haven't forgotten your words of wisdom. I'm referring to you saying that musicians are hardwired from early age and are exactly where they should be in life. No searching to find themselves. Well, those words are still in my head today. Right now, I'm at a point in life where decisions need to be made. I want you to know that your words have helped me think in a positive manner. Enjoy your day. And thanks again.
@@michaelgaynor6866 I must respectfully beg to differ. I've always loved and thought Janis Joplin's rendition of Me and Bobby McGee was the best. That ended when I heard Pink singing it. BTW I am not a fan of Pink, but credit is due in my opinion.
love this woman's voice. Feel like she's an old soul cause you can damn sure hear her ancestors waking when you hear her cut loose, powerful, amazing, in awe

I heard P!nk singing Aerosmith's Jenny Got a Gun on the radio once, and it better than Aerosmiths original version!
Also kudo's for the guitar player ;)
@@Swaze73 Yep, I love this song! 😃🤩😍👍
Best rendition I have ever heard. Love her voice.

Janice?
Janis Joplin, the singer who made this song famous. Unfortunately she died before it was released. First woman of rock and roll.
Another 27?
Ginger Thompson o
Wow... My respect for Pink as an artist just grew tremendously
+Brett Carter I agree- my wife and daughter told me to check it out and I actually did and hate to admit that they are right lol. She is really a good diverse singer.

I have never been a Pink fan. Why? Quite simply because I wasn't exposed to her. I now realize I have been missing out. I had no IDEA she covered this song. She nailed it. She loved singing it. She glows while singing it. She is beautiful.
Eric1SanDiego1 She never covered it, but she's always been a fan of Joplins. I think Pink was in one of Janis' documentaries called Little Girl Blue 🙄
I couldn't agree more spot on comment
This songs freaking rocks

Eric1SanDiego1 Stay classy San Diego.
It is evident she enjoyed singing this song. Probably the second best rendition I've ever heard, had me seeing visions of Janice throughout. Good enough I think to gather up more band members and taking another whack at it. Didn't Janice have a unique voice? Gutteral, raspy, soulful. And she put her heart in it. Go for it Pink, you're singing is right up there.
Whats the first? Do u mean Janis or another cover?
So...I'm a creature of the 70's and don't listen to current musicians for the most part. But I loved this song so I figured I'd give it a shot. This chick did this song true justice. I'm sure Kris K. is proud of this beautiful cover, as Janis would be if she were still here.
So, Pink... You got yourself a new old lady fan today. Well done.
Cathy Slyter agreed✌🏼😇❤️
I'm the same way, but when I first heard Pink a few years back, I heard the 70's in her singing. I am a diehard Janis fan and thought Pink did do this justice.
I love that raspy soulful thing she does.
This guitarist goofed up timing and chord changes several times and she managed to ride it out until he found his feet again. She is flat out awesome.
I really cannot blame the man, clearly captivated by her singing. I might forget to breathe if I were sitting in that chair.
@@williammoore4380 exactly! shivers down the spine..
How great could this have been with a guitar player that was as into delivering a great performance as she was. Isn't that Paul Simon?
@@darrellburnett7556 No. Not Paul Simon.
Janis didnt have it??
She’s having so much fun and connecting with her guitarist and even when she laughs it sounds good
Gifted amazing, beauty Pink. Let me enjoy your company. I take you to a magical forest. Sii?
Amazing! So amazing that guitarist mist a riff. She laughed it off, and gave him nothing other than a giggle and a chance to make up for it!!!
My God. I'm a 57 year old woman with two grown daughters. Thank God they listened to this talent growing up. What a blessing for all of us.
God bless you!! I'm 35 and showing this music to my parents... and they loved it.
I'm 60 years old and the new generation of female singers do nothing for me..have to show off tits and arse to mask poor vocals..but I make an exception for this lady..the awesome pink .. wow what a throwback voice..
Ps and she's sexier than Perry..sherzinger..all of them put together
I hope Pink is around long after I am gone. She is a classic and a legend before her time and should be considered that.
i agree.
signing this.
It's not a Janis Joplin song.
She didn't write it, but she sure made it hers. When most people think of this song, they think JJ you don't think of KK
Do a little research and you'll find she wasn't the first one to put it out on a record either. It was a different woman, with a much more sultry, jazzy, raspy voice. Janis was NOT the first woman to do this song.
Wow. First time hearing this and I am blown away. Fabulous Pink, just fabulous!
Jancie jolpon
Pink is awesome she really nails this song. I never really caref for pinks music but after listening to this song i think ill listen to more of her songs
Perfect song for her to show off her range! Love this!!❤
she did this justice! awesome! she is the only one so far that I feel that can sing this as good as Janis!!! Janis was smiling down on her when she sang this !
Female drummers
Pink did awesome for sure. I also really liked Michael Grimm's version from AGT a few years ago.
his part anyway. Jewel wasn't good at all.
Angela Escobar she I hell she od
Bessie Smith has a special place in her heart for her
Speaking as someone who sang along with the recording of Janis about 60 gazillion billion times, PINK NAILED IT!!!
Great job!!!! I'm from that era and I never heard anyone sing it as well as Pink did.
Pink is an awesome singer music is so heartfelt! You rock in every song you sing, be yourself stay pink
I too am from that Era and I remember the 60s like it was yesterday 😃
Hello 👋
Pink. You totally ROCK!!! Janis would love you!!! ❤❤❤
Hey handsome
@@HannahRoot55
Hey beautiful. How ya doin?
@@HannahRoot55
I apologize. My response may have sound creepy.
Hello! How are you doing?
I’m fine; and you. ?
Pink is absolutely incredible. This rendition moved me to tears.
Pink did an incredible job with this song. Janis would of been proud.
agreed
She would "have" been proud 🙄
Its not Janiss song. Its Kris Kristophersons
Wow, she did an incredible job on an incredible song... Don't think I didn't notice that guitar flub at 2:26. She recovered like a pro, as she should.
rather, 2:23
Why cant I hear it? what did he do?
didn't change to the pre chorus. Missed it by one beat. Was supposed to change with the word "freedom". Look close... she even giggles.
good catch (by her and the guitarist in real time, and by you when you listened to it)
@@jmike66Mike
WOW! She has such an amazing voice! Great version of this classic! Nailed it Pink!!!!
I am an old man and my kids would kid me about loving PINK, but WOW WHAT A TALENTED, VERSATILE, AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND WOMAN!!!
Thought I wrote this comment myself. No better performer this decade.
She's amazing! My mom, who's in her 60s, and I got to see her in concert last year and it was the best concert ever! The crowd was so diverse with all different ages. How could anyone not like her? She is a beautiful and talented woman!
Punk is one of kind
Pink has always had one of the better voices of her generation. Check out her version of Bohemian Rhapsody, it’s exactly what you’d expect 😎
@@triciag3311 She's 40, you dummy. You must be really young.
wow! loved Joplin's version... this is the first that matches...wonderful!
What a vocal tour de force ! Pink captured the spirit of Janice Joplin's original classic, but then Pink added a soulful element that is both plaintive, searing and playful all at once. This rendition raised goose bumps for me. Whew ! Amazing vocal pyrotechnics, without a single sour note to be heard.

Kris Kristofferson wrote the song ... jus sayin, many people sang this song, Janis made it popular and Pink nailed i to the floor
...and Kristofferson's version is a far more convincing rendition, but this was good.

This song is beautiful, listening to it took me back in time to a moment I will treasure forever. Thanks for uploading this beautiful song . I just love listening to Pink she is a wonderful performer
This just shows what a great singer Pink is, regardless of what you might think of her personally. You can hear a pin drop on this recording. This is as good as Janice. I love Pink.
No its not nearly as good as Janis version, but its good.
Love it down to my bones
Damn!! She tore that up! Love that raspy voice and such a beautiful lady!
I think Janis would be proud of this version.
Pink
It is better to light one candle then to curse the darkness...
Pink! I met her in Berlin ten years ago...She used to call me Doc or Psycho...Cute drunken Witch!
(...sessions were breathtaking...)
More than cute! She sings with Feeling, so she must know Pain! The words, "Freedom means nothing left to lose" is so cynical, I can only imagine that at that time, she had never been Free!. FREEDOM means everything, to live our lives without Dictatorship! To me, she is just a beautiful lost Angel, but I am sure My Darling Doctor, that you Touched her life, as you have so many of us! I now Dare to say, that I Love you, my Angel of Light, Wisdom. and Love!.

Hi 👋
Great job, well done, the closest version I have ever heard to the original sung in Woodstock by Janice Joplin, Love it xxxx
Barry Summers the original was sung by Rodger Miller, not Jssnice Joplin
Kris Kristopherson wrote the song and is the original
It's good but it's no fuckin Janis Joplin
Eck Alston Thank god!
The summer of 69 was the BEST miss those days sure had a lot of fun🙈
She does have a damn good voice for that song..I won't lie
She rocked that....great song
+Amy Cohen ..because ...a F- shit guitarman..
George Wattimena doesn't mean she can't sing
+Amy Cohen i'm sorry, i was wrong, you wrote ''does have..'' ,.. i read ''doesN'T have'' --- no, I love this woman, she's great
+Amy Cohen She does a better job than Janis.
"Absolutely" the best by far version I've ever had the privilege! She is a Class Act All the Way!
Seldom
aside from her doing an amazing job, I love that she just looks happy to do the song and the little laugh fit perfectly
The amount of talent AND confidence it would take to even come close to Joplin's version was seemingly impossible....until 5 mins ago when I found this video. Wow, just....WOW! CHILLS!
Well, gotta go. Have to watch this about 300 more times.
still listening June 2020.. she straight killed it!! I think there was a little of channeling of Janice❤
December 2020 checking in
I have never liked this song but damn if Pink didn't change my mind! Love her voice and the way she rocks it.
Grand. I gotta say, hearing this song on the album Pearl the first time in 1971, the blood rushed to my head. Something else.
Your a old dude right ?
@@HannahRoot55 Yup. Janis was something else.
Where ya from ? Howdy 👋 from the state ! What social media you got ? 😘
@@HannahRoot55 none.
Kris has to love this remake of his song. Not many can sing even close to Janis, this girl nailed it!
Can't imagine an artist that would be more difficult to cover than Janis. This is a very credible performance.
Janis favourite Tina is at least as hard to cover.
I was born in the 40s so when I hit 10 I was ready for "Rock and Roll" (Timing its a gift) This means I have set my idols of the day in concrete and then along comes the most unlikely person to change this old mans values "PINK" Brilliant.
100% BS
and that young guitarist fell immediately in love.....
I wish Pink would sing more music like this
+Diane Evans -- When Pink first broke I heard the Janis in her...I always wanted her to be in a rock band. I could say the same for Jessie J.
Shark Alchemy
yea, i agree, there are no real women "rockers" in mainstream music at all! that is a shame, maybe rock has died? pop has taken over every radio channel where i live unless you listen to the "oldies" channel, how sad is that?
+Diane Evans Your statement ignores the existence of Lzzy Hale.

Can't believe the comments! Idolising Janis, criticising P!nk, finding faults in timing and pitch...
With all due respect to Janis Joplin, Alecia Moore - or P!nk - has been an amazing talent from her beginnings, like Janis was - almost spoiled by the industry but luckily recoiled back and remains consistent with her rock-based affinities. Technically, she is a great vocalist, learned and perfected her voice over time, worked with some great mentors (Linda Perry being one).
It does not make sense comparing her singing with the technique of Janis Joplin. P!nk, adding to her talent and expressiveness, has been consistently working on her vocal technique. Janis was a heroin and alcohol addict and that was affecting her performances.
You must nor forget that P!nk is a complete author of her music like Janis was. They have quite a lot in common. It is a shame that Janis died being only 27 years old. P!nk will be 38 this year.
The song
It is an urban country song composed by Kris Kristofferson, with so many great renditions since the one that Janis Joplin recorded.
The session
The session on TH-cam was a very old and an informal family gathering of Pink and her father Jim Moore who was a Viet veteran, not a professional guitar player. All the nitpicking for the performance really does not make much sense.
Just enjoy the music!
Dan Bosak and the relevance of being a Viet veteran here is?
Christopher Smith
eat donky turds
you can tell shes well versed when she tells him to change the key from G to A, and then when they change the key again, the guitar goes to a different key then shes expecting for a second, but they fix it on the fly, most singers would not have noticed that, and the guitar player would switch keys to be with her, but instead, she did the fixing, as far as the pitch and tone, shes doing subtle signature things that janis used to do, while keeping her own style, as far as the vietnam vet, 2 reasons, this song was HUGE during vietnam, and shes playing it more as an emotional tribute then as a piece of repertoire
Lie to me
What cant PINK sing .that was awesome.
This version of that song give me chills! Pink is amazing and I’m sure Janis Joplin would be proud!
Not Kris then?
I agree, cold chills twice already, never heard her sing before,awesome
Amazing job
Damn straight
Pink has that raspy voice that just adds character to this song.
Describe Janis's voice.........😂😂
Not since she stopped smoking after her daughter was born.
Pink has the best FEMALE VOCAL of our time!! Just beautiful. Janis would be very proud of Pink here...FoSure!!
if you like Janis, try listening to Beth Hart live from Amsterdam.
Song composed by a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University, awarded a Blue for Boxing, degree in literature, US Army Vet, helicopter pilot, actor, singer, RIP Kris Kristofferson.
She did it justice... Says t he dude who loves Janice... ❤❤
KK was fabulous and Janis Joplin was the BEST! Pink sounds like a totally failing copy.......someone has to do it. Yes, her voice cracks, but it sounds BAD! NOT like Janis'!
You forgot vampire slayer
Great rendition. I love the quality of her voice in this song.
Hi 👋
Pink has an incredible voice!
i agri!!!
I listen to this over and over and over again. Amazing!
Hey Vicky
Girl, I played keyboard on the original studio recording of this. This was the only recording of Me & Bobby with a keyboard on board with Janis. My good friend Sam Andrews (Big Bro & the Holding co.) didn't want a piano in the band. So that was it. You came pretty close to reminding me of that set with this cover. Kudos.
Stephen, you must have some interesting stories.....Janis rocked out supported by the best musicians. Big Brother/ Holding Co, Kozmic Blues Band, & Full Tilt Boogie Band. Did you sit in on any of these?
@@chisflanagan5498 Hi Chris, my relationsjp with Janis was mostly personal. It was the sixties and that means it was always a little foggy - which is sort of hard to explain if you weren't there. Sam Andrews was my friend then, and right up to his death 7 years ago - he was just a couple of years older than me. Janis and I were exactly the same age. I was a pianist/keyboardist and Sam and the other guys at BBHC and KBB were devotees of the Electric phallus so I never played with them. We jammed sometimes, tho, because I was a session musician. I'm really old now, and they say that if you remember the sixties - you didn't do them right. Well, I must've done them right, because I remember only certain scenes, sort of as flashbacks. Certain moments. Can't get the year or the sequence right most of the times. But of course the intimate moments stay pretty vivid and those I won't talk about. Visit Janis' Wikipedia page. You'll see me on there in the "various bands'" section and in the "solo career" section. Not much else to tell.
@@stephenryder1995 Hey Stephen, thanks for sharing what you do remember from so many years ago. My brother-in-law is retired now, but he was a sound guy for decades. He toured with Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon and others. He might even have met you. Small world.
@@chisflanagan5498 after 8/10ths of a century on the planet you begin to see patterns in types of people. I observed that some professions seem to be unchangeably hard-wired into people from the start. Policemen, photographers and musicians are three of the personality types that never change. These folks always were what they wound up to be, and no amount of time or circumstance alters that mentality. Other folks try this and try that and try to 'find themselves' but a musician is hopelessly smitten with the music from 8 to 80.
@@stephenryder1995 hey Stephen, it's Chris from a few months ago. As corny as this may sound, I haven't forgotten your words of wisdom. I'm referring to you saying that musicians are hardwired from early age and are exactly where they should be in life. No searching to find themselves. Well, those words are still in my head today. Right now, I'm at a point in life where decisions need to be made. I want you to know that your words have helped me think in a positive manner. Enjoy your day. And thanks again.
I have no words.... My God what a voice..!!
Definitely blessed!
In everything she puts hand too
What an explosive voice. The guy with the guitar was excellent!
Hi Richard
Tell me you can't hear Janis laughing and singing along to this!

I know right? She rocked this! Janis was singing along.
Absolutely amazing voice. I fall in love her every time I hear her sing especially this song

Never in my life would I have ever thought anyone could top Janis Joplin singing Me and Bobby McGee. Holyshit! You rock on girl!
Prodigal Son,Janis Joplin Rules this song!
@@michaelgaynor6866 I must respectfully beg to differ. I've always loved and thought Janis Joplin's rendition of Me and Bobby McGee was the best. That ended when I heard Pink singing it. BTW I am not a fan of Pink, but credit is due in my opinion.
Prodigal Son that is exactly what I was just thinking. And I love the name Prodigal Son. The song rocks and your name rocks
