A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZbin. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZbin I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZbin won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZbin channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

The woman sitting there with her mouth open was Mama Cass from the group the Mamas and Papas. This was Janis’ first big break at this concert. Janis was an outcast in school in Port Arthur, Texas. She was bullied and made fun of and just had a few friends that used to get together and listen to a lot of old blues records. She was influenced by artists like Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey.

[@CoughHiccup]

This was actually Big Brother and the Holding Company, with Janis as the singer...she wasn't solo yet...alot of their work is overlooked, even though Janis was their singer. :)

[@Sagitarria]

Mama Cass was one of the Organizers of that show too

[@TYoung023]

I thought so! Glad you commented

[@songspiritUSA]

I came down to add that was Mama Cass as well. Thanks for adding it! Am glad to see Janis and others being remembered.

[@Molly_Belle]

Mama Cass was a great singer also, so it says alot when she's blown away by Janis's talent.

[@stonebringer1]

That was Case Elliot of the Mamas and Papas in the audience that you commented on.

[@JanBear]

Mamas and the Papas is review-worthy too

[@williamvigil2481]

Yes, I too recognized Cass Elliot, and was surprised that she wasn't mentioned. But then again, if you weren't alive at the time, you might not know. Cass was a great voice with the Mamas and Papas, any of their songs are worth a reaction. In addition, Cass went out on her own and was very well received as a solo. Her solo songs are also worth a reaction. I love hearing reactions on songs from the 50s and 60s. Then again I started listening to rock and roll in the mid 50s.

[@stonebringer1]

@@williamvigil2481 i am somewhat amazed at how few people have watched the Monterey Pop festival movie. So many great bands including an all mostly unknown Jimi Hendrix.

[@belladonna8425]

Mama knew true talent when she saw it. Janis was someone not of this world. If you haven't yet listened to Summertime, I HIGHLY recommend.

[@chrisf.7980]

Musical history captured on film for eternity! Those shots of her feet get me EVERY time, she is singing with every bit of her body, right down to her toes. Momma Cass' face captures it all perfectly, one legend seeing the start of another. Two talented women gone far too soon!

[@stonebringer1]

Janis was basically unknown at the time of this concert.

[@hungfao]

But not afterward

[@August377]

Not for long! 🤩

[@mattshaw6180]

Janis sang a heartbreakingly beautiful version of "Little Girl Blue" on the Tom Jones Show; in a different groove, Janis singing "Cry Baby" will blow your hoodie off.

[@hazchemel]

Yes. Summertime;)

It's like she packed 100 years into 27,, powerful soul

[@thorsden5562]

This was 53 years ago. Every time I see this video I still get that "wow" feeling. So much passion and emotion behind her singing. I also love the band. I was too young to go to this concert but I envy those who were able to attend.

[@iainsan]

Judging from the comments below, this was a really important moment in modern music history. Joplin giving a truly memorable performance, watched and appreciated by Cass in the audience. So tragic that both those performers died so many years before their time.

[@larryg7126]

In 1970, Janis Joplin bought a headstone for the grave of her greatest influence Bessie Smith at the Mont Lawn Cemetery in Philadelphia. The blues singer's grave was unmarked until that time. R.I.P. Janis you left us way too soon.

[@sherryarflin726]

I’ve said it a hundred times and will say it a hundred more. Janis Joplin was and still is the best female vocalist ever! She just came along way before her time. I’ll say this again also....That’s just my opinion!

[@jerryp8263]

If I could go back and watch one musical performance it would be this one.

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Ditto! Hands down my all time favorite singer. She's incomparable.

[@GrahamMilkdrop]

Her smile at the end though... Beautiful.

[@stephanietip]

That smile transformed her from a strong, powerful woman into a little girl happy and free

[@bradmannion6769]

Gotta love how Mama Cass was just enthralled with Janis's voice

[@TheDivayenta]

1967- Monterey Pop Festival. I was there! She was profoundly influenced by the great Black blues singers of yore. She was raw and shocking in an era of pretty pop princesses. To see joyful Janis check her out singing Raise Your Hand with Tom Jones on his show.

[@christinerobinson548]

This! you put it perfectly.

[@davidzimmerli489]

"Aggressive" is a fantastic way to describe Janis Joplin, great job keep up the good videos.

agreed. that’s why i love her so much. the wild, almost unhinged performance. shades of Joan Jett to come.

[@WitchessJae]

Aggressive < Passionate

[@dellafenton2417]

@Joel Springman Agreed. You can hear the pain in her voice.

[@fragrancefreebeauty8306]

Intense - powerful- conviction is Janis. and Sharon Jones- years later. Remember she was "too thin, ect.. You can literally feel tears of hurt, pain and to keep the fight challenge we face alive. Everyday in all of the songs. JJ was rejected in her own town and found Austin. Last laugh in those bullies. Search for Janis's interview with DC. She's a bright and funny old soul. She and Dick respected each other's mental challenges out and kept the conversation light:) JJ and SJ ✌ ☮ Hippy Bluesy Chick and all of the above. **Much appreciate No matter if we are poor, rich, ect...in the end we come and go, it's the footprint we leave behind for the next generation. She's 88 pounds of steel in a male dominated rock culture, and sexist to boot! The 88 pounds wasn't insensitive rather a long way to say that jealous people say hello to KARMA and she's a b*tch to get rid of.

[@davidakers3564]

With the possible exception of some Black blues singers like Big Mama Thornton (who wrote "Ball and Chain"), there really is nobody who can be considered in the same class as Janis. She was an original of unleashed, passionate musicality, a force of nature possessed of genius.

I have loved Janis since her first album. This still makes the hairs on my arms stand up every time.

I saw Janis this same year, 1967, when I was a 9 year old kid. She was playing for free in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and my dad took me and my friend. Great memory!

Mama Cass ‘s reaction is priceless!

[@bryancotner9285]

If you read Mama Cass' lips at the end, she says "Wow...that was some heavy shit!" 😆 Janis got down into that shit 4 real. Wasn't afraid to appear unfeminine.

[@donaldleider7382]

Janis voice was filled with RAW emotion!

[@harrietmiller3982]

Oh Janis‼️. Unique and powerful! I had the privilege and pleasure of seeing her perform at the Avalon Ballroom in 1969. I was 19 years old. She blew the doors off the place and left us all changed. In person, in a very personal and open venue, we left not even having words to describe it. Never tire of listening to her. Her cover of Summertime is sublime. A must listen🎶🤟✌️

[@kathleenarchacki7875]

She is so raw!!!

[@Calistogakid2u]

Also, I believe this was an encore performance because their initial performance wasn't filmed but from this, I think you can see why they were asked back to be filmed.

[@tomcartwright7134]

Summertime. A classic blues standard and Janis makes it her own.

[@misterx1969]

Janis has a gritty, growly humanity that resonates with us all, she has the angry sadness of a poet. It's depth speaks to our souls

[@voodooacidman]

she had a voice like an angels chainsaw! big love to all people :)

Written by and also performed by KRIS KRISTOFFERSON. Check him out solo as well as with WILLIE (NELSON), WAYLON (JENNINGS) and JOHHNY (CASH) in the country supergroup, THE HIGHWAYMEN.

[@navigatingwithnana]

Her early, break-through live performance. Absolutely blew the audience away!

[@otisdylan9532]

Also at the Monterey Pop Festival, Otis Redding gave a great performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long". Janis' studio version of "Me and Bobby McGee" is classic.

[@kerryknight228]

She did a song called “Turtle Blues” that’s aggressive and super bluesy.

[@jefffiore7869]

It's why she was great! Piece of My Heart next!

[@patclark3024]

Janis was so amazing, and there has never been anyone else like her. This video gives me chills every time I watch it. I think agression is a good description, but I think it's more just Anger. Anger at everyone that told her she wasn't good enough, not pretty enough, just not enough of anything to make it. She absolutely kills this song.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

Janis did a song almost acapella called "Mercedes Benz" it goes "oh lord won't you buy me a mercedes benz..."

[@billcarralero6588]

Still gives me chills after all these years!

[@joannecresto752]

What a voice Raw Talent, the lady in the audience was Mama Cass Elliot with that look of Amazement on her face. Janice felt every emotion when she sang. She was Gone Too Soon!

[@StuartRReed]

First reactions are cool, but I've heard this song so many times and still my jaw drops, I get choked up, and tears are rolling down my cheeks now.

[@mckatie79]

Mama Cass’s reaction is so iconic.

[@danaberman6929]

Janis put every ounce of energy into her performances... She was one of a kind with a voice that can not be duplicated...

[@christinerobinson548]

As others have said here, that woman in the audience was Cass Elliot of the Mama's and the Papa's. She was already at the pinnacle of her career, widely praised for the quality of her singing, and Janis knocked her socks off! I love that look on her face, it is the joy of discovery!

[@vasilicamanole3561]

Everything she sings is unimaginable equal with other singers! Pice of my heart is, To love somebody, all of them! She deserves to be remembered and never forgot!

[@cookingartguy2170]

Great reaction. As someone who was a teenager when Janis was alive and was totally crazy over her and Jimi Hendrix, it makes me so happy to see younger people discovering the icons of my youth. No one can compare to Janis. You can tell it wasn't really a "performance" for her, she was really feeling the words she was singing and expressing it as it happened. I love how several times her legs start shaking uncontrollably, that is the true sign of somebody who is feeling the music and so excited over it. This is pretty much her greatest performance. I like your very intelligent and heartfelt response. Great job.

[@julies5515]

You can feel her music for sure. She is beautifully agressive.

[@thewheel73]

Raw. The word you're looking for with her singing is raw. You are sadly not gonna see something that tops this. This is peak Janice. Sadly drugs and alcohol would quickly supersede her ability to perform like this.

[@Q8Claire]

You must check out her "Piece of My Heart" live at Woodstock. She's also got a geat little ditty called "Mercedes Benz"

[@tomcartwright7134]

Thank you Rome! In the audience was Mamma Cass Eliot. So listen to California Dreaming : Mammas and the Pappas.

She never had formal vocal training. Janis' parents had wanted her to be a school teacher. But she started singing when she was 17 and never turned back. She was completely self-taught, learning from listening to many great musicians.

[@jerryp8263]

Someday I’m going to watch a reaction to this video and they will know that’s Mama Cass. Not today, but someday.

[@Calistogakid2u]

My personal favorite song from Janis is Get It While You Can from her last album, Pearl released posthumously. There's a line, Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby, You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow, But then who cares, baby, 'Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no." She was gone in less than a month. Here's a link if you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6XNaqponL6tjJY

The studio version of "Maybe" by Janis Joplin is in my top 5 g.o.a.t songs.

[@richardlivingston3219]

Janis originally started out as a folk/country-blues artist. Then she joined big brother and began to shed that. In December 1966, she caught Otis Redding at the Fillmore west--that changed everything. She knew Otis established a connection with his audiences, and if she was ever gonna make it, she would have to sing like him. That's when she went to what I call "Hard blues" here

[@reality1958]

That woman in amazement in the crowd was none other than Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas. Another group to react to.

[@coccoielle8991]

This Monterey Pop festival in 1967, was put together by the Mama’s and the Papa’s band….an awesome band in it’s own right. This was Janis Joplin’s debut performance….introduced her to the public to her special blues talent. There is a documentary of her life called Little Girl Blue, which is excellent! She was bullied in school, growing up…in Texas. She broke out of there and moved to California. People fell in LOVE with her musical style and passion! She had two bands during her career. Big Brother snd the Holding Company was her first. This is them. She died in October 1970 by heroin overdose complicated by alcohol. She had been taking voice lessons to smooth out her voice so she wouldn’t ruin it…her last recording on her Pearl album was simply stunning!

[@robertyanes4751]
