HALF MOON by Janis Joplin

[@deborahwilliams2031]

I love watching her dance. No one compares to her, not even close.

[@mias6931]

She was so remarkable. Her personality, her passion and her talent. I wish I could have seen her just once.

[@johncolling673]

"Pearl" was (and still is) a complete masterpiece, but "Half Moon" and "Move Over" will always be my favorite two tracks from the album. Bought my first copy (on 8-track tape) when it was first released, and if I had 10 bucks for every time I've listened to it since then, I'd probably be a millionaire today.

you are old

No one will ever take her place, she was the brightest star of all, and you are so missed Janis.

[@strangersname]

Yeah, Janis. We still hear you baby, we still feel your love.......

[@headgroundsman1650]

when night time has passed, still love will last....

[@uppanadam]

WOW!! Incredible vocal range!! She was at the top of her game!! Who'd have thought that she'd be dead a couple of months later!!

[@willie14donna]

Thanks to Dick Cavett , he always have Janis performing in his show! They had great feelings! Smart and fun guy Dick, Janis the best one !

[@tryingndoing]

The beauty of sunsets mesmerize me with anomalies of red clouds when usually they’re peach, pinks, orange, and faded purples …. I’m no artist but when my soul is moved I sure can appreciate His Creation and Creativity! Thank you for sharing sweet Chunk, too.

[@Huntgoddessfishery]

She was incredible. Always missed.

[@dougrhon]

There is something so sad and tragic about her. It makes my eyes well up just realizing how special she was and how soon she was gone.

[@franciscarlos4409]

On stage she was an angel and a demon at the same time.

Full Tilt Boogie - one of the greatest backing bands ever assembled.

Canadians!

[@madeleinehague648]

Don X Tsk tsk....

[@bloozedaddy]

I'm with Don on this one...hypberbole is the greatest thing...EVER ! I wouldn't say horrible but there's nothing unusual here for the period it was done.

[@cheerfulharmony]

@Don X I don't know about "greatest", but they are not horrible, either.

[@cheerfulharmony]

@Don X The guitarist seems more rhythm, playing the solo out of the rhythm. They are, also, probably, playing in the morning or early afternoon, which musicians who are used to playing at night, sometimes, find awkward. ~They played a concert the night before. They are playing for a tv audience, so toned down. Hendrix's band on Cavett was similar. One should, also, consider that they are more of a backing/studio band, there to emphasis Janis, that it is in a style that was not that old at the time, is a band that had not been together that long, but yes, they seem a bit constrained, more of a "demo" feel. Yet, if listened to closely, there is quite a bit of subtlety, there. Steve Gaines' solo album recorded five years later has the same reminiscence of feel & sound, & this is almost certainly an influence on that. If she hadn't died two months later, I am sure that there would be punchier versions around. As a not perfect, & live, version, it stands up to a lot of modern music pretty well. It would be nice to hear something like this coming out, to~day. It has a lot of soul.

I LOVE YOU JANIS !

[@alloyrat]

When I see a half moon in the sky, I always think of Janis. I got Pearl for my Mom when it came out. This song makes me remember a place I liked to go to, Half Moon Bay.

[@randygates1619]

I think of Orleans, they wrote it...and mastered it.

[@AngryHatter]

She was truly amazing. She was making love to the guitarist during his solo. And to the audience the when she sang.

[@timmanfredi398]

Lost count of how many times I have watched this video, in the last four days.

[@meadowqueen]

Remarkable!!! Never seen or heard this version before, mind-blowing greatness. Janis, no one like her. Thank you for posting.

[@frederikkremer8101]

Pure music ! Thank you Janis x

[@BellaDucati888]

Happy Birthday J.J. ~ January 19, 1943! You are missed...R.I.P.

[@TheRachakins]

3:37-3:56 the most beautiful thing i've ever seen and heard!

[@Lainuts]

Listening to Janis every day. What a woman...

[@lillybloom1590]

JJ had it all: talent, moves, an ungodly voice, and more than anyone other than the early Elvis-passion! So far, throughout music history, there has been only one person to get close to her, and that's Beth Hart. But she comes in a distant second on the moves and passion.

[@jbooks888]

I have to agree, but rather than ungoldy voice I would say she had a heavenly voice.

[@lillybloom1590]

@@jbooks888 That probably fits better, Jbook, because JJ made her bones singing and playing in her church choir growing up. She learned polytonals there, and every now and then pops one in her lyrics for us. Otherwise, about the only place you can hear those treasures are in European Choirs. However, at the end of this amazing piece, you will hear not only polyrhythms - but polytonals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIbZqYWgjtade7M

Janis amor da minha vida 💜

[@dougrhonable]

There will never be another Pearl. Gone 53 years.

[@missyme1995]

I hear REAL instruments and mind blowing voice .. THAT is music

[@randygates1619]

Check out Orleans, Half Moon.

[@gordonsimmons4693]

This in the lexicon of the Dick Cavett show is one of the premier performances. She nails it knowing she has 3-4 minutes. I agree with Winston below a lot of viewers won't know Guitar is John Hall of Hall and Oates in his early days in fact Hall and his wife Joanna wrote this song.

[@tovarisch2788]

NOT of Hall and Oates. Of Orleans. Hall and Oates is Daryl Hall (no relation) and John Oates. And he (Hall) is NOT playing here. This guitarist is John Till.

[@echaczyk]

song written by John Hall of the band Orleans. Check out their version.

[@tovarisch2788]

Excellent song, written by John and Johanna Hall, later of Orleans.

[@missellendiane]

She was Great! Simple as that.

[@NobilisBellator]

I had a jacket just like the one Cavett was wearing....No wonder I did not become a rock star, I looked like a Dick...:-)

DAMNIT !!!!!

[@kpscully]

Oh yes...

[@stewartbootles7589]

wow

[@StefanFerdinand]

I find it weird that Janis performed "Half Moon", a song from Pearl in which the album wasn't released yet. I think people in the audience didn't know this was a new song from her. Nowadays, when an artist performs a new song from an upcoming album, people go crazy and a lot of expectation arises. I guess at that time, any artist could perform whatever song they want regardless whether it was new. Love Janis

[@jv-ep2tc]

+S.F.Man32 I cannot think of an artist today who could create the kind of excitement this woman did. Pearl showed some real artistic growth for her. I still like this hook-laden gem.

[@clucaspik]

+S.F.Man32 Back then, very often songs were perfected live before they were ever recorded - this is very much like the recorded version. This may be my favorite song she recorded.

[@222Lightning]

w the Full Tilt Boogie Band...……..She was the front of three different line ups.

[@oliasofsunhillow7116]

Too bad that todays artists can't learn from yesterdays talents!

[@sandbergp]

Pearl!

I love her swinging booty way, so cute like a bee.

she has keys too

she died 3 months after this its unbelievable

Gone way too soon...

Funky Guitar.

@alcram Only one I know who even resembles Janis in sound and style is Dana Fuchs.

[@Angelum_Band]

Anyone that can sing like Janis contact me please. We are located here in Florida would like to put a little act about her.

[@planetpjr]

You can hear when the sound man raised her mic level at the end, the feedback annoyed her.

[@kevingoble]

Laugh all you want... original done by Orleans, written by John Hall, (former NY congressman).

[@bloozedaddy]

actually Orleans wasn't Orleans yet when John and Johanna Hall wrote this.

[@kevingoble]

That is straight up!!! Thanks, BloozeDaddy

UMMM alcram may be a hard task these days but i wish you good luck .
