Janis Joplin at Monterey Pop -Ball & Chain

Janis nearly missed her chance to make this historic performance in 1967. A Big Mama Thornton cover that only someone with a voice like Janis' could have done justice. Even with the crap quality of this clip, the power and uniqueness of her vocals come through loud and clear. An angel taken in her prime.

When Joplin first did this song during the Saturday afternoon show, the audience didn't move for the entire number, not so much because they were too stoned to move, but too STUNNED by what they had just witnessed..Virtually everyone there was totally knocked out by Janis' emotional and vocal power.

@JoeBertone89 Yeah, they were basically unknown when they hit the stage and they, well SHE was a superstar by the time they left it. The whole music world at that time converged onto Monterey so EVERYONE saw this who mattered in the business.

Amazing performance! Damn shame she was such a tragic figure in her personal life. She left us way too early.
