Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin ~ Woodstock '69

Woodstock '69 -
Janis Joplin appeared at Woodstock in the late hours of Saturday, August 16, 1969. She performed until the early morning hours of Sunday, August 17. Despite her reportedly not even knowing of the festival's existence, the Woodstock promoters were advertising her as a headliner. She thus became one of the main attractions of the historic concert.
Joplin informed her band that they would be performing at the concert as if it were just another gig. When she and the band were flown in by helicopter with the pregnant Joan Baez and her mother from a nearby motel to the festival site and Joplin saw the enormous crowd, she instantly became incredibly nervous and giddy. Upon landing and getting off the helicopter, Joplin was approached by reporters asking her questions. She deferred them to Caserta as she was too excited to speak.

"Who you are is what you settle for, you know?" - Janis Joplin

[@conniewatkins915]

Tesla said it great also you know it's not what you got it's what you give, it's not the life you choose but the life you live. Life takes us all in different directions. But don't judge, don't let anyone steal your joy but most of all love everyone, you don't have to like their ways but love them.

I am a 68 year old Canadian and I saw Janis perform at Woodstock '69, and yes I was a hippie. I missed the first day of the concert and the rest (including the rain) was awesome. I feel truly blessed to have been there to witness such a spectacular event and see Janis and the other performers putting us into a frenzy enjoying their music. Obviously, the best music time of my life and there will never be another Woodstock '69 and that is sad. One thing we do have going for us "old hippies" today is a girl named Courtney Hadwin who is on Americas Got Talent, and I can definitely see a lot of Janis in her. RIP Janis.....you will never be forgotten in this crazy musical world we now live in.

[@bluecadillac]

"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller. A posthumously released version by Janis Joplin topped the U.S. singles chart in 1971. Kris Kristoffersen, quote: "When I heard Janis Joplin's version for the first time, I just sat there and cried. That wasn't a song...it was an experience."

[@gregk.8802]

Baddass Grandma...🙏

[@hamilton59840]

"Bobby" McGee" was first recorded by Kris Kristofferson, and covered by the late Janis Joplin & The Full Tilt Boogie Band in 1970... (which became the very last hit song before she passed away in September, 1970) Janis's version soared to the top of the charts in 1971. R.I.P. Janis

[@davidgoldman6913]

Yes He did write the song, but Roger Miller recorded it first in 1969, Janis in 1970, and Kris in 1972 ✌️

[@TheRudydog1]

I grew up in the 60's and most of us were not aware that people like Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin would become legends. Most of us were not fortunate enough to attend their concerts either and there was little television coverage. Only 45's. Now, looking back on these old videos, I can see that much of our generation also missed out on their true greatness when they were alive.

[@mona2242]

[@TripReviews]

[@georgesotiroff5080]

In the late 90s I was asked by some youngsters “Were you at Woodstock, Brother George?” “No.” I answered sadly. “Well why not?” “Because nobody knew Woodstock was going to be Woodstock until it was over!” I knew a fellow who had tickets and the closest he could get was 35 miles away.

On July 4, 2014, "Me And Bobby McGee" is one of those songs that come to mind and you hear the voice, lyrics and music over and over. So, I searched for Janis Joplin as the lyrics "Freedom is just another word..." I couldn't recall entirely. Janis lived her life as she wanted. She was reviled by the few, but admired by many.

[@danielc.8875]

When I think about JJ, and Woodstock, its seems like another life time now. She always gave you a great show, and put her heart into every performance. It was a time when America was at the peak of its greatness, but we also had a war going on that was unpopular among young people especially. We were in our prime, and no one wanted to die in some Godforsaken land, that we knew nothing about, but many did. I was one of the lucky ones who went, and made it back. 58 thousand of my fellow men didn't. RIP old friends, and brave men. I never saw a group of guys who were so proud to live, and so proud to die, than the ones in my platoon.

[@LeenaStark]

THANK YOU daniel occoner , and to all of the brave young men who selflessly gave up their lives in order to provide us w/ a blanket of freedom. Your valor & sacrifice will never be forgotten- not yours, nor any other soldier who has given of themselves for the sake of their fellow man. The American people should have honored the Vietnam Vets to a higher standing than they do (today's) basketball players - sadly... Despite the War ( at the time ), I'm sure it must have been a GREAT TIME to be alive! Keep ROCKIN #SOLDIER :)

[@danielc.8875]

Trinity, I always felt sorry for the Vietnam soldiers who came home. Not so much myself, I was OK, but many were spit upon, and disrespected, for doing what their country asked them to do. I have a lot less respect for the ones who ran to Canada. Don't hate the soldier, hate the war.

I was born in 1970 and missed Woodstock. Fuuuccck. I wish i could travel back and see it in 1969 the Free spirits the love and the great music. :(

[@mereditharbon9918]

[@fayepearson8377]

Meredith Arbon love this song...especially when Tara and Megan sing it...at the Conlin Christmas parties.....keep it up girls....I'm going to miss you both!

[@russdie1232]

was 10 years old and begged my mom and dad to go. we didnt and were sorry. Can liv it thanks to you Thank you so much

[@arminprobstl6133]

Es ist beruhigend,das solche alten Songs noch in der virtuellen Welt noch Einzug gefunden hat! Janis Joplin steht für eine ganze Genaration von damaligen "Welt-Verbesserern". Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern,wie es in Woodstock aussah!

[@markjones292]

So awesome. Love it. Thank you. Very good but very sad at the same time.

[@joycegausmann5840]

I would go back to 19 yrs old in a millisecond if I could. Best year of my life. 1969. The music the laid back feeling and just a groove. Saw Janis in concert was so terrific and for the day was amazing we rushed the stage to get close. She said "about time" so many people were sitting like on sticks afraid to move. Was the times but soon changed. Fantastic show. Great memories.

Memories... I was young and square in '69 but maybe not too square. Always loved Janis and her music. Still do. I admit , some of her tunes are a little harsh on my aging ears, but I still love her and and forgive the things I don't understand about her and her music.Hope I'm forgiven for my lack of understanding. I am determined to try to understand before my time in this life is over. Love you still, Janis. Rest in Peace.

[@debbieowens5845]

I too was blessed to have been there. Amazing and transforming. Let the music live on...

[@fredloos6998]

We didn't know it, but we lived through the best music era of all time. For those who are young, we all were saturated with our parents music and this stuff was so radical that it took a lot of effort to even listen to this music. I have no idea why this era produced so much incredible music but am damn grateful it happened while I was alive.

[@stevenhulbert7655]

Thanks to you ThE DuCk for this video. An historic place, historic time and artists and music performed never to see it's equal.

This reminds me of a time when my older brother turned me on to a underground radio station out of Ann Arbor Mi. where I listened to Woodstock live. I had three brothers one was drafted, one volunteered, one hitch hiked to Woodstock all in the same year.

[@annieorourke4822]

[@jimbishop8667]

James I know man......I know! There has never before nor will there ever again be an event that was free that so many of the greatest musicians in the world at the time, came and gave everything they had for no profit, no gain, just because they loved the people and the people loved them. I don't think it ever happened before and never will again!!

[@jadeshannon5583]

I'm glad you didn't mention The grateful Dead coz I think they are very overrated.

[@biblethumper8369]

What I would give to go back to then and I wasn't even alive ! A tear runs down my cheek for the good simple times I long for. Rip janis ! Rip America!

[@laramartinserrano1540]

Verdaderamente bueno. Cuando en 1969 en España no nos dejaban oír todo esto y nos teníamos que buscar la vida para escucharlo. Gracias Janis.

[@irastone706]

Love the tune and the video. Thanks for putting in Bert Sommer at 3 minutes and 40 seconds in. I played the guitar with Bert at Woodstock. Very cool surprise to see the video include a quick view of our band! Thanks!

[@jasnapanic3621]

Fantasic event and great legends there!!!! Love it so much💓💓💓💓💓

[@gregorycash4358]

Daniel - thank you and all of those in your platoon and all US platoons before, since and now, I grew up listening to the daily death toll on the CBS evening news, not understanding all that was going on but always proud to of the men and women who served this country and in turn the world, my mother was head of 5000 Red Cross volunteers in the European theater in WW 2 and my dad served in Guam near the end of WW 2 the thing about Joplin was the passion in every song. God bless FREEDOM !

[@MrTuireland]

Thanks for posting I was there It was Great !! the first day getting there we walked and rode on the back of cars when traffic was moving most of the time we walked alot of rain people turned around and went back because of the rain not me and Tom we looked at one another and said Hell no and kept Trucking

[@StarreLabell]

My mother went to see all the greats. She missed Woodstock, though. I wish I had her record collection. I still managed to have a lot of fun in the 80's, even with the music:)

[@alexandruvictor9316]

God Bless You Janis, were ever you are...Long life Woodstock...Thanks, The DuCk, god job, you made my day...
