pretty much every Big Brother song was better live. most of their self-titled first album was so-so studio versions of songs that were phenomenal on the In Concert album and other live collections. Including this one. Not nearly enough bands these days are better live =(
I meant I was there in person and Janis was given the biggest bouquet of red roses I had ever saw in my life. I am older now and have seen such bouquets, but they were wonderful to see for a teenager ;-)
Thanks so much for posting this missrock. My poor pussy cat died today and this is the song I needed to hear. The best version on ere n v. good quality sound. xxxx
She didn't write it, Moondog did. She just adapted it. The original was released in 1956, 10 years before Big Brother released it.

Thank u so much for posting it here!
When you have a moment to spare, you might consider adding in a credit for the song's composer, Moondog (born Louis Hardin), too.
