The lady in the audience saying wow is the legendary Mamma Cass of The Mammas and the Pappas....discovering the legend that is Janis Joplin...

[@loisrogers9042]

Cass Elliot. Had a solo career as well before her untimely death ❤

[@d.l.607]

Mama Cass's daughter just wrote a book about her mother's life. My Mama, Cass: A Memoir by Owen Elliot-Kugell

[@juliemanarin4127]

Sure is!

[@jeanmc4213]

Cass Elliott was a beautiful and amazing woman. She never liked being called Mama.... Sadly, both Janis Joplin and Cass Elliott are members of the 27 club.

[@darinaria]

Incomparable was janis. My idol since I was young. God rest her soul.

[@Skeeter123]

There will never be another Janis...so happy I got to experience her & her amazing talent in my lifetime (I'm 71). RIP Janis ♥️🙏🕊🌹

[@paulr.3220]

A big DITTO from me. 71 also.

[@WilliamWarlick]

Janis was a hell of a woman, one of my past friends, now deceased played guitar for The 4 Seasons long ago, he was a tea totaler. Janis called him a Pussy because he wouldn't share a drink of liquor with her at an event long ago. What a super, hard headed girl. And talented beyond all others!

[@ebooboo6784]

Me too!!!!! I saw her at Winterland in San Francisco. Amazing times.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Love the shots of Cass Elliot with her jaw dropped. The Mamas and the Papas were some of the organizers of this festival so she heard the name, but this was her first experience hearing the singer. Like the rest of us, she was mesmerized.

[@mapegatkinson92]

Take Another Little Piece of my Heart is great.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Janis Joplin put 100% of herself into every performance. Kudos to the cameraman who zoomed in on her feet when was literally coming out of her shoes, and also to the one who zoomed in on Mama Cass (whose stunned expression captured the effect that Janis was having on the entire audience).

[@DaveK0526]

Great reaction to one of the greatest live performances ever! What a shame we lost her so soon!

[@sdp-co9pq]

The Queen of music

[@michaelwalker5257]

I usually am moved to tears when I listen to her. That's what one can do . . .

[@ezerlab1]

Mama Cass Elliott in the audience. The 'Wow Lady"

[@michaelvaristo989]

This performance was an historic moment in music. I saw Janis on O"Farrell St in SF back in 69 and later that day down near Union Square in her multi colored Porsche as a passenger. One of a kind never to be duplicated. Hard drinker and hanging out with the Hells Angels. Died to young.

[@michaelasay8587]

You still in that shithole SF? Hope not!!!

[@oopsdidItypethatoutloud]

😮.. every time I hear this ...😮 ❤ from Northeast England ❤️

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

I am 72 years old and I experienced Janice Joplin first hand. The first time I was just like "Mamma" Cass Eliot. All I could say was "wow, wow, wow."

[@chicotime69]

Think I've watched this a thousand times!!!!!!! Always blows me away, and breaks my heart a wee bit!!!!!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Monterey Pop Festival the FIRST Fest Ever...!!! In Monterey California, Twin Town of my city: hugs from Monterrey, México! :)

[@JohnBullard]

Another tough, talented gal from Texas. She was really something special. The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. The Amy Winehouse of my generation.

[@Prone2Thrill]

Mom used to play Pearl album all the time in my childhood so I've always had a love for Janis. SUMMERTIME studio version is my favorite and sublime. I have her along with SRV and Joe Cocker in my all time passion trio. Momma Cass did a lot of momma like stuff for a lot of the young music stars of the time like James Taylor, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Joni Mitchell and more. The Topanga Canyon documentary is great information.

[@bella-xp7qd]

This was Janis first major public appearance. She was not known yet, her name was not even the advertising. ❤❤ The filming of this song::::: The most amazing thing of all is that it nearly didn’t happen at all. Big Brother and the Holding Company, one of the new breed of San Francisco bands being featured at the festival, had actually performed once already at the fest, the day before, on June 17. Their new manager, Albert Grossman, had only met most of the group for the first time at the festival and had refused to grant the filmmakers the right to film the band’s set. When the audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive, he was convinced to have the group perform the following day June 18th, as well-to film it. The only act to play two sets at Monterey. Janis was 24 at this performance, her candle only burned another 3 years.

[@MikeEnglund-ih1zh]

Big Brother and the Holding Company are an underrated blues band.

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

She walked onto that stage a nobody and walked off a superstar !!!!!!

[@michaelcory2224]

Less than five minutes from virtual unknown to legend.

[@dbradx]

Few people can give you goosebumps like Janis - absolutely legendary, and completely unique. What an amazing talent, and to think this was the world's introduction to her - imagine what it must have been like to be in that audience. Great choice, and terrific reaction as always - much love from Canada!

[@hog7203]

Yep, if that doesn't move you, something's wrong with you. You're soulless. I've seen this performance many times, and it still gets to me. She's one of a kind.

[@debbiewalker31]

You are absolutely right, Dominika...if you don't FEEL that performance, you must not have a soul.

[@cspringer333]

"Summertime" studio version. The live versions performances are great but the studio version is incredible.

[@aldobelli8300]

The lady with the sunglasses shown from the audience was Cass Elliot of the Mama's and the Papa's. Cass was amazing in her own right!!!

[@corepuncher]

All that soul could not be held by her mortal body, just like so many other greats. I think it vibrated the hell right outta there and took off into space.

[@paulr.3220]

After all these years this performance still gives me goosebumps. Talk about pouring out your heart.

[@AjaxCaper]

Thank you. And to the person suggesting it.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Amazing. ❤❤

[@tonilharmon]

My other favorites of hers are "Cry Baby", "Summertime ", and "Work Me Lord ". Always do the live versions, if possible. Watching her is part of the experience.

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Talk about a way beyond expectations debut performance. Even Mama Cass' jaw dropped. Jimi Hendrix did much the same at that same 1967 music festival, you may want to check his performance out.

[@markbebber2284]

You will love “work me Lord”, live 1966in Stockholm, amazing.

[@tonilharmon]

She walked in an unknown and walked out a legend.

[@sylviafarese8837]

Janis poured out her soul when singing.

[@A00ZINC]

Janis was the GOAT !

[@ThistleAndSea]

Janis was the real deal. 🙂

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 What a huge loss to the world this lady was. Such a shame. And she was a beautiful person. Love her. RIP Janis. You are loved & missed.💔🎼🔥🇺🇲🇬🇧

[@SaverioP]

You get it. You don't need the right words. You have the right feels.

[@RonniePeterson]

She sings rom the top of her head to the souls of feet. The ultimate one and only Janis Joplin

[@tonilharmon]

Love this reaction!

[@longtimenewyorker]

"Moving the mountains, shaking the buildings" that is a perfect description.

[@dorothyzbornak9974]

Janis was my girl. I saw her at Woodstock and she was a force of nature. I listened to her music, her artistry, for hours and hours but I just wanted to hug her for days. R.I.P. and thank you.

[@scott3744]

Every time I watch this, I'm still amazed at how she absolutely NAILED the ending. It never gets old!

[@patrigilligan2112]

I don't care so much for the guitarist, but man, those vocals really hit you in the feels!!

[@crazyfingers19]

The guitar playing wouldn’t have been so nasty if the guitar was in tune.

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

The best woman singer🤘

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

Janis sang this at Woodstock in 1969, 5 days in the summer June 1970 she was on the Festival Express, a 14 coach traveling music festival train, that went from Toronto to Calgary, Canada. The movie Festival Express 2004 showed footage of Janis performing and having fun on the train.😅 It's hard to believe 3 months later she would die of an overdose 😪 Oct.4,1970! 3 months later Jan.1971 was the release of her Album Pearl it went to number one on the Billboards, to bad she didn't get to see it😢 but in the 1974 hit the Righteous Brothers "Rock and Roll Heaven" they sang Janis gave us a piece of her heart❤️ 💙 💜 😊 RIP Janis keep singing with the best in heaven. ✌️ ☮️ Peace and Love Gary 😊 a good reaction would be Righteous Brothers" Rock and Roll Heaven"😂

[@z0n0ph0ne]

Great reaction to a stupendous performance.

[@laurasmith2522]

Love your reaction as always !

[@cynergy4]

Ive watched this video countless times and it never fails to give me chills! My favorite part is watching her feet, and the way that she almost levitates herself with emotion and feeling. Her passion pours out of her soul and straight into ours. She wasnt well known, and neither were Jimi Hendrix or Otis Redding. You might want to check out Otis Redding's performance of "Ive Been Loving You Too Long" from the same concert. Another one that just pours out the passion! Janis's star still shines brightly!

[@battistaleone8388]

She's so real!!! Love you, Janis ❤❤❤

[@Jude_196]

I think she just makes EVERYONE feel that RAWness of the feeling from her heart of what she was singing. SO GOOD! Love her songs Summertime, Cry Baby, and Try!!! You might like them, too!!

[@scott3744]

'There's something wrong with you, you have to go and get checked' Exactly! 👍😂

[@Jude_196]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! One of my FAVORITE ARTISTS!!! THANK YOU for THIS ONE!!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE! She poured out EVERYTHING SHE HAD, on-stage!! ENJOY! HUGS!

[@marcsailers534]

'To Love Somebody' on the Dick Cavett show is awesome. Her version of the BeeGees song makes it her very own

[@ginafragata2947]

Amazing Janis, love forever ❤😂

[@stevepas1]

The greatest

[@keithcarper8809]

Sometimes beautiful things will leave us speechless. As if any words we could speak would seem small and insignificant. "Pearl' was special. ☮❤🎶

[@kennethroy2911]

I've watched this song and at least a hundred times I love it

[@alanbrown8527]

A Force of Nature. Period!

[@humpy936]

“Big brother and the holding company” was a band formed in San Francisco, they never get enough credit, Janis was part of this band.❤ Check out their album cheap thrills. It’s an all-time classic with some great cover art from Mr. Crumb.

[@nancysmith38]

I love how y’all truly feel the music.

[@barbaraalbini1177]

Fantastica ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cihatkeles2444]

Her voice,no one can clóset to her never

[@suecook1326]

I read that this was a 2nd performance at that festival. The first time, she wasn't recorded and she knocked everyone's socks off, so they arranged for her to come back and this time they filmed it. Thank God they did capture it! 3 years later, my 16 yo step-sister and I ran away from Toledo, OH to go see Janis at the Monterey Fest in 1970. We got there but she died 2 weeks before the festival. We still went to it. My favorite Janis song is Summertime, performed in Germany in 1969. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ-YhYGnn9p7n7c&pp=ygUVc3VtbWVydGltZSBsaXZlIGphbmlz

[@Picklesfamily1]

Thankyou for making this. You both seem supremely cool!

[@johncalvert8032]

I saw her live many years ago. She was, and always will be, "one of a kind."

[@marcsailers534]

Awesomeness 👌

[@paullanoue5228]

I saw Janis at a pop festival. She was both mesmerizing and disturbing at the same time. It’s was clear the no star could burn that brightly for long.

[@danielconley7042]

Janis has no equal. Man, Woman or beast❤

[@willieboy3011]

Port Authur pain erupted out of such a young vessel, Janis Joplin. I like her more now than then though.

[@stellamartinez6636]

❤Great reaction ❤

[@chitownlee]

Live is the only way to listen and watch her..

[@alberto-os1bx]

This is something you see once maybe in 50 years!

[@P-M-869]

My oldest daughter would get Pissed at us and would storm off to the cellar and crank up Janis's cassette. The funny thing was she was playing my cassettes. The wife had also learned to love Janis.

[@nj1639]

Her performance with Big Brother and the Holding Company singing "I Need a Man to Love Me" is stellar!

[@757optim]

RIP Janis.

[@cdmann]

💯 SOUL!!!❤✌️❤❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Janis was relatively unknown at this time. She was only about a year into her professional music career. But she blew everyone away with her rendition of Ball & Chain". Interesting Note: The lady watching Janis performing here at The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 is Cass Elliott from the group "The Mamas & The Papas". Her mouth drops & she mouths “Wow" after a particularly strong vocal run from Janis.

[@rickkemp2749]

You're right, she took no prisoners.

[@stephenkittle6586]

A 🐐BEFORE WE KNEW IT!!!! 😢😢😍😍RIP JANIS!!

[@edwardcrews2952]

Sadly, a member of the 27 club. Rest in peace Ms Joplin. Thank you for your gift of music

[@richdickson2174]

I'm 55 and still obsessed with this woman.

[@DakotaBorn-111]

Janis brought everything to the stage. She belted the pain and struggle like she was screaming at the devil himself

[@redrum482]

She is Birdsong, she is The Pearl. Great reaction!

[@coelhomanco5990]

Olhando o que existe na cena musical de hoje, é inevitável pensar no que vocês perderam!!

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

She was a one and only. RIP Janis you genius. You went far too early at 27.

[@cletushouse906]

When I saw this come up I knew you would love this.

[@michaelwalker5257]

I wish you and so many others - would watch a version of this song OTHER than Monterey. It was one of her first big shows, and she was not yet a mature singer. Listen (audio only) to the version on her first album ("Cheap Thrill")- which is live, or the one from Frankfurt, Germany years later. The difference is astounding. As good as this is . . . it pales. And there are live versions of "Summertime" that are magnificent, too.

[@robertsuitsjr6117]

You saw Mama Cass say the word. Wow!

[@billspivey6919]

Nice. Lovely as always.

[@greggkonitski743]

Her spirit lives on in Beth Hart!

[@ragasthegascap1]

Representin' Port Arthur, Texas!

[@dougca7086]

Janis Joplin's Porsche custom painted with daisies is sitting in the Smithsonian in Washington DC and a part of History

[@edwardhubschman3610]

Just want to state that while Janice was the star, this and so many of the performances reacted to on KZbin is by Big Brother and the Holding Company, the vehicle that brought her to fame. Their intro and backing playing greatly contributed to the impact of their recordings. Yet, they never receive an iota of credit, even to the extent that the actual name of the band is never included. As for Janice, there were none before her or ever since to match her brilliance and intensity. Check out their rendition of Summer Time and Turtle Blues (written by Janice), the album version (Cheap Thrills). Thanks for the reaction!

[@michiganjfrog366]

You need to check out the Tom Jones and Janis Joplin duet performing "Raise Your Hand" I know you'll love it 😘

[@JuandeFucaU]

7:53 "I'm with you sister." actually..... it's Mama...... Mama Cass from The Mamas and the Papas.

[@KM769]

To było (18.06.1967) równo tydzień przed Niemenem w Opolu z Dziwnym jest tym światem (25.06.1967). Poza tym tego samego dnia w Monterey kilka godzin później był pierwszy duży występ Hendrixa w USA, to mogliście już widzieć (?). Istnieje jedno wcześniejsze czarno-białe wideo z Janis Joplin : Big Brother and the Holding Company - Full Concert - 08/16/68 - San Francisco (OFFICIAL) (to jest z kwietnia 1967, w nazwie jest błąd).

[@joshb23]

Jerry Garcia has a beautiful song for Janis called "Birdsong" that I highly recommend. Acoustic version with The Grateful Dead from a famous show on 10/30/80 is particularly fantastic! "All I know, she sang a little while and then flew on..." kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ_dZp5vhdCLis0 Jerry really loved her, there are some wonderful photos of them together. RIP J.J.

[@mauriciocueto4247]

Amigos míos gracias por traer a las janis a su canal son pocas mujeres que puedan hacer esas roturas sin saturar o dañar cuerdas vocales

[@billdomitilli8125]

The descriptive adjective is: Visceral [ VISS'-a-rul ] literally, from the gut. I was there in SF at the beginning, and saw BB&HC countless times. she had one speed: ON. Cheers, --bd
