Esto es parte d un disco lanzado en el 74 llamado "Early Performances" dónde se edito material los años previos a sus carrera, cantando en cafeterias y cantinas ,antes del exito... y se incluía también parte de los concierto d la gira Europea... Janis, cómo artista,lo eres todo para mí... Nunca aceptare tu partida...

[buskerbuoy]

I can hear the typewriter song in there and I can also hear how her beautiful nasal voice cuts through the mix so well.

[stosjel]

So sorry I missed her.

[laheroinadejanis27]

I`D like to drink a beer with her !!! yheaaa

[LetsBuildASnowman]

Where was this recorded?

[thelittlegirlblue]

where did you find this???

is awesomeeee!!

[NoRosesForMe]

this is on the CD called "Janis". Its supposed to be the "album" from the film but most of the songs were not IN the documentary....you might remember the doc....? Trust me tho....this is an awesome CD. I had the tape growing up. Sang it every day. Loved it. Just try Amazon. I usually find what Im looking for there.

[ClazikRock]

Occasionally, on either the Anniversary of her death in October, her birthday in January, or most recently the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, VH1 runs the 'movie' Janis. I recorded it. Great footage, but sadly, it's missing these performances. The 1975 Album entitled Janis has them, it's fantastic, you're right on. Peace.

[Celizamite]

I dont suppose that you could post the Janis movie? I would really appreciate it. I dont think i have seen it, and am a Janis fan from way back. Celizamite.

[bellaimages]

My God! How old was Janis when this was recorded? So sad and sang so well! She sounds so young, but with so much soul ... she was born to be blue.

[mysticsoul888]

Thanks for posting this ! Janis had SO much soul !

[Bejanis]

Thanks so much for posting! Blues forever!

[trisoctehedron]

My understanding is that she was an outcast in high school. I loved her when she was alive for transcending that. When she died I sometimes felt those Texas idiots had won in the end.

[atfatw]

trisoctehedron, and the really were idiots, cheap, creepy childish grossly immature jockstraps and low class common plain girls. thats some town she csme from.

[trisoctehedron]

I read a biography of Janis, "Buried Alive", way back in the 1970s. She grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, and was treated horribly in her teen years. I grew up in a similar town named Tyler, Texas at about the same time. It sucked.

Sometime we forget, because they mostly have nice cars and solid houses, that the people in the center of the USA are mostly just peasants, isolated from the larger world and narrow-minded and ignorant, like peasants have always been.

[atfatw]

trisoctehedron, Very well said. they are certainly people of a very lesser order. I think of them always as somewhere between morons and dirt is the best way to classify them. it always makes me laugh the way they all think so highly of themselves when its quite clear that they are so obviously quite vile.

[trisoctehedron]

Well said atfatw! I love vituperation.

[tiranchula]

@trisoctehedron i live in Victoria TX... moved here from Los Angeles... It is still like that here.. So sad...

[trisoctehedron]

@tiranchula My condolences! Luckily, today the Internet offers escape.

[sublimelyardent]

@atfatw i'm a year older than janis, from another TX town, misfit, geek, musician. my high school best friend became one of her closest friends & told me we were alike in many ways including how we suffered & were ostracized by other students. her HS reunion video left me in tears i identified so much. unless U lived then, U have no idea of the pressures on women to conform to very narrow ideas of what a girl or woman should be. that stress was part of what killed her. RIP, janis, RIP chet.

[atfatw]

@sublimelyardent

Yeah, so I heard but then texas is a real crappy place isn''t it?

Janis could use some pyschotherapy or philosophy training. and people in port arthur an enema and a ten mile hike!

[sublimelyardent]

@atfatw wasn't much in the way of therapy available then. i went to one who - he told me that unless i could accept that i could be happy ONLY if i learned to cook and keep a great house for a husband and wanted nothing else from life (teacher, nurse, waitress, maid, there weren't many choices available without a fight anyway) i would be doomed to depression all my life, no help there, at that time, it wasn't just texas,.....everywhere was like that - it was just a matter of degree.

[atfatw]

@sublimelyardent

America sure has a long history of sheer foolishness. thats because most people are descended from the outcasts of europe, low class blue collars,

criminals, and assorted rabble. its interesting how many people have the delusion of the overriding importance of 'nomal' when in truth and reality,

there is no such thing

[panicxitsxbrea]

@atfatw Y'know so long as you judge people based on shit that happened before they were born and where they're from, rather than the person they are, you've effectively missed the point Janis and everyone like her was trying to put across, right? x)

[nanksyhanks]

@sublimelyardent Let's not get carried away here. For such a crappy place Texas has turned out a lot of great musicians!

This is great stuff, I have never heard it. Damn! where did you get it?

[Jordanwut4]

@sublimelyardent

My dad was a few years older than her, he went to the same school as her.

[singingpanda123]

@Jordanwut4 that's so crazy! What does your dad think of Janis?

[bluessiren78]

Another thanks for the post! She was a true blue blues mama!

[mykhalska]

wow it is rare!!!!

[KosmicJanis]

Thank you for the rare find. Peace.

[maja697]

Thank you for posting this! Never heard it before..very sad lyrics in this, you can really feel her, as usual. Peace!
