Janis Joplin never sang that song. Many people mistakenly think she did. Janis was a blues singer with a rock edge. That song is way to 'up' to be one of hers. If you listen to it immediately following this one, you can certainly see, it's not her. The rollerskate song is called 'Brand New Key' and it is by a singer named Melanie Safka. Peace.
Jesus Christ, what a voice!!! I have loved her since I was a child and she still gives me chills! NO ONE can sing like her - I really think she was a black woman stuck in a white woman's body! LOL Wow, does she FEEL the blues! Amazing!
According to the documentary about Janis, it took them 8 hours to sober her up enough for this preformance. Janis and her girlfriend had been shooting up heroine in the portable bathrooms. She said that it extrememly nasty.
too bad..Janis was so young and had so much talent. Don't know why people throw everything away for drugs.
that information is completely false. everyone was late. and traffic was terrible no one would know that woodstock would be this packed. and drugs were basically unavoidable if you were a star in the 60's
Today's music doesn't even come close to the music of the 60's. The artists in those days put so much soul and passion into their songs. It must have been such a peaceful and mind blowing experience to see Joplin live. Wish I could have been there, but I was born about 50 years too late...
And sadly, there are so many reports that Janis really didn't even show up for Woodstock. Reports that it took hours to get her in shape for the show.
The Queen of the 60`s... Just think how amazing it have been to stay there listening, smoking, drinking etc. that voice. She Realy giving me a Hard one :P
im not glorifying woodstock cuz it had its shit too, but listen to janis..humbler than hell,,today you could curl up high under a cactus unless you sleep with some one or go in a group to any festival..she was awesome.
Too Cool! Janis belting out one of my favorite tunes by her. This one didn't get much airplay. Thanks for the upload. I never thought I'd find her singing this live. I'm in heaven!
SHE WAS THE BEST SINGER EVER, NO FEMALE SINGER HAS COME EVEN CLOSE WE HAVE JUST TO HEAR CRAP LIKE MADONNA OR SHAKIRA UNTIL THE NEXT SINGING PHENOMENON COMES, I HOPE SOMEDAY A SINGER LIKE HER APPEARS...
If she had lived, she'd be 66 years old....One of a kind, never to be forgotten...
Thanks, Janis!

I road my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated toward your door at daylight.
It almost seems
Like you're avoiding me.
I'm okay alone
But you've got something i need:
Well, i got a brand new pair of rollerskates
