Mississippi River [Live] Young Janis Joplin Duet

Janis covering a country classic i think all these live songs were from threadgills, its interesting to hear her as a young singer before she developed her own sound.

Lyrics:
Well, I'm going down that Mississippi River, yes, I am, yes I am
Well, I'm going down that Mississippi River, yes, I am, yes I am
Yes I am, boy, yes I am

Well, I'm goin' on that big Belle Louise, yes, I am, yes I am
Well, I'm going on that big Belle Louise, yes, I am, yes I am
Yes I am, boy, yes I am

Oh man, where are you gonna catch your river, catch me tryin', you catch me tryin'
Oh man, where are you gonna catch your river, you catch me tryin', you catch me tryin'
You catch me tryin', boys, you catch me tryin'

Man, will your daughter take on me?
Well, I don't know, I don't know
Oh man, will your daughter take on me?
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, boy, I don't know

Well, I'm going down that Mississippi River, yes, I am, yes I am
Well, I'm going down that Mississippi River, yes, I am, yes I am
Yes I am, boy, yes I am

SHE WAS HAPPY WITH WHAT SHE WAS THAT IS IT

[ElvizaPelvis]

Thanks for this- a bit of it played in the background on one of the documentaries about her I saw many years ago, and I hoped to run across it sometime.

@CarlSchwamberger Road Block is on 'Joplin in Concert' which is a great CD set you should get. Also, I believe it was on later re-releases of Cheap Thrills.

Not quite the duet I'm looking for. Back around 1972 I heard on the radio I heard a duet that sounded like Janis & a a male singer with a rock bottom bass voice. A high energy tune with the word "roadblock' repeated in the chorus. Anyone else recall her doing anything like that?
