Janis Joplin - Ball & Chain - Monterey Pop Reaction/Review

[@susancurtis8388]

This is the rawest female singer you’ll ever see.

[@rambokm1753]

One of the greatest blues singers that ever was! She was right up there with the greats like Bessie Smith! I adore this woman and every time I hear her sing, it’s always like the first time I heard her voice; filled with amazement and wonder!

[@roberthaines1227]

The woman in the sunglasses looking on in amazement is Mama Cass from the Mammas and Pappas.

[@sfbayareagirl]

Yes!!!!! Yesss.

[@36karpatoruski]

That would be Cass Elliott

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Festival/Concert That Started It All For Janis & Jimi Hendrix...R.I.P. Janis & Jimi

[@dennisjohnson2772]

And Otis Redding.

[@hongfang2508]

I believe this is from Monterey Pop Festival in Monterey CA 1967. That was Janis' coming out party, her intro to a big audience. Jimi Hendrix was at the same event for his first broad exposure to a US audience. Jimi and The Who appeared back to back. The WHO tore up the stage during their show, so Jimi had to top it. He burned his strat as a finale.

JOE COCKER DID HIS THING TOO❤

[@maryhanrahan]

Loved seeing Mamma Cass's face as she witnessed Janis - Doing studio - 'Me and Bobby McGee' is great

[@jimdrake873]

What you saw was the late great Mama Cass (reacting) to a star being born.

[@deannacrownover3]

You should hear this child sing "To Love Somebody", Try, Little Girl Blue, Work Me Lord and Summertime. Feel the pain. Rest in peace sweet Pearl

[@ripsumrall8018]

"Cry Baby"

[@annmills3163]

This performance was the turning point in her career ☮️💜

[@timmistorey5989]

The lady in the audience that said wow was mama cass, from the mamas and the papas

[@sharonhutton3805]

The lady with the glasses is Mama Cass. ❤

[@avengernemesis7990]

Oh memories.. I am so very glad I was a teenager in the 60's.... Australia

[@sandyleewhite]

Janis wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤️ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤️ 💚 💙

[@thomasfiscus7321]

Mama Cass was mesmerized. @4:33

[@NondescriptMammal]

Monterey Pop was an outdoor music festival, pre-Woodstock, where more than 30 bands performed and an estimated 200,000 attended over the three days it was held

[@victoriagrove5344]

Queen Janis is unique, impressive and her story is compelling! Love her!

[@nathanabraham4639]

Moma cass looking in awe..luv it

[@jabreck1934]

You need to watch the video of the entire concert!! Everybody was there. Either playing or in the crowd. One of the most legendary gathering of musicians ever.

[@margiemcpeak9304]

💯🤯 Janis Joplin KILLED IT‼🔥 The woman sings her guts out & does some incredible things with the blues! RIP Pearl. ❤🕊🙏

[@timmistorey5989]

My grandad told me the only colour that the blues are , is blue 💙,. She moves like my granny in church, and I mean that in a good way , she feels what she's singing x

[@tinagilbert8902]

Great reaction!! "Piece Of My Heart" Live in Germany video (it's the one that pops up when you search for the song)..... it's a must for Janis and was one of her biggest hits!! You'll love this song and performance.... it will probably crack you up (in a good way)!!

[@dawnandrews8970]

Should have a million likes for this too.

[@lauriejones8082]

My favorite female artist. So luck to have seen her in concert ❤️❤️❤️

[@Śħẽĩłã]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Janice was definitely one of a kind … RIP 😔 … Piece of My Heart, Mercedes Benz, Me and Bobby McGee, Summertime … to name a few 😉 Thanks fam 💞

[@glen6945]

glad you found janis

[@erickjohnson2138]

That's mama Cass Elliot in the sunglasses.

[@lisar.6670]

Love Janis .. Her sound was a mixed bag .. Angelic, raw, dirty, raspy, vibrato. Powerful strong and soft tones perfectly placed each and every time. YES!! .. CHECK OUT MORE OF ANY SINGER/GROUP's STUDIO VERSIONS BEFORE the LIVE ONES. Sometimes the LIVE cuts do not stand up to their studio versions.

[@satexman2585]

Number of people who have done this song on Karaoke night: Zero.

[@kbbeers4274]

Love me some Janice! ♥️ Thank you for sharing your time with us. ☮️

[@TheDivayenta]

I was at this show, Biz!

[@watchbizmatik]

Thats so dope

[@joecampos5624]

Summer time is a masterpiece

[@valarieboston3583]

Gotta love Cass and Jimi simply stunned.

[@robertstoner8244]

I believe it was when she became famous ❤ love this woman

[@27thangel23]

Of the great Blues Rock voices: Janis, Joe Cocker and Robert Plant always bring the fire. And you could bring Beth Hart, Ian Gillan and SRV to that table. Sublime lady,sublime voice. Hey, Biz- Peace and be safe.

[@byzinski]

I subscribed 🙋🏻‍♂️ Janis Joplin 👏🏽 Beth Hart 👏🏽 Jessie J👏🏽 Portland Oregon USA

[@raenellefisher8514]

The Rose, starring Bette Middler, is supposed to be about Janis.

[@lauraedwards5019]

Give "Work Me Lord" Live in Stockholm 1969 a listen.

[@roberthaines1227]

Janis’ introduction to the world.

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Yes ,Me & Bobby Megee by Janis Joplin Next !!

[@starfire6122]

Please react to Little Girl Blue live version! So sad to hear her sing this knowing the pain she was in ..thank you!

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

You gonna love this one! It's a pop festival.

[@kerryknight228]

Please check out her song One Good Man for us. I’m in my 60’s and still have a poster of Janis on my wall. ✌️

[@itoldjaso]

Thank you for letting it play out uninterrupted.

[@michaelobrien8219]

what a unique guitar intro

[@dawnekay1567]

Little GIrl Blue is my personal fave.

[@stellamartinez6636]

I got chills

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

You should try the studio version of Summertime.

[@LadyGator1983]

WOW!!!

[@sfbayareagirl]

What an amazing performance. Janis Joplin is one of a kind. Amy Winehouse actually reminds me a lot of her. Unique, one-of-a-kind, stunning vocals.

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Da Queen

[@ohgizzle2084]

Rip to the queen

[@kianpa1]

❤️❤️

[@ginafragata2947]

Uns She's amazing ❤

[@nancyscottartprojects7848]

The ball and chain in Janice' life was depression, possibly undiagnosed and untreated. This pain Janice self-medicated. It took her life. Also, the screaming, while great for getting out anger and pain, would have ruined Janice' voice in a few short years. I loved Janice and Big Brother And The Holding Company.

[@nancyscottartprojects7848]

The lyrics of any one song is not important. What is the story here, was the pain society put on a young girl and what you hear is that loneliness and rejection by men and kids in school that she was scarred by.

[@joecampos5624]

React to cry baby Janis Joplin

[@TheDivayenta]

Check out her and Tom Jones together- “ Raise YourHand”.

[@davidwalker5054]

She walks on stage like a shy and timid schoolgirl. But someone should have warned the audience to strap on their seatbelts for the tornado about to hit them

[@dannytapp7259]

Bye bye baby 🔥 ✌❤🤘

[@marybalestraci6157]

Yes--check our studio music. She's worth a deep dive.

[@donaldaller2637]

Big Mama Thorton…. Original lyrics, song….. Roots Blues…… moment that music of today lost its connection to Blues standard…. Well …. Listen to this …. Listen to any hip hop and you can hear clearly….. not a damn bit of soul in today’s music… so sad….. gave up Roots for complete shit genre….. so sad

[@robertphelps1574]

Big Mama Thornton was brilliant
