Janis Joplin / Big Brother and the Holding Company - "Combination of the Two" (live)

[@savonneplummer8364]

Thanks Dad for buying this album. You set your daughter on the righteous path.

[@SavonePlummer-qk7ew]

I've got Born Free tattooed on the back of my neck. She's the epitome of it. Thank you Janis for helping to pave the way for us RNR chicks.

[@frank0691]

What a Band! The Lead guitar is fantastic, another level

[@Dune137]

The guy all the way on the right with the really long hair? I agree! What's his name?

Janis looks happy and healthier in this year

[@gratefuldead3750]

Before Heroin. Enjoying music with the buddies of Big Brother

I am a martian. I love it as well.

[@heliotrope3345]

You have good taste, Janis was SO amazing!

[@kaharold]

@@heliotrope3345 Thank You So Much

[@SteveEvansMA]

One of the highlights of my lifelong love affair with the cinema was speaking with D.A. at the 2016 Virginia Film Festival. The man was warmth & cool, defined. I cherish (and own physical media of) all his available films. Montery Pop is as fresh, urgent and potent today as the three days over which it was filmed 56 years ago.

[@LoneTinaja]

I wanted to be there but I was a teenager stuck in Texas. At least Janis was able to get out of Texas and start making history.

[@heliotrope3345]

Always loved this really quirky song.

[@respecify]

Just look at those bright eyes. She was magical.

[@fflubadubb]

That voice 😍 I wish she never left Big Brother !

[@kande6916]

Janis with Big Brother was unreal!! Raw and excellent!!!

[@shaynelombardo6523]

Janis Lyn Joplin was the band she's incredible and Extremely gifted R.I.P Pearl 1943-1970

[@7flies4U]

Now can I take the Back to the future car to this era before I was born? That song kicks it! :)

[@markyboy214]

Alot of ppl say she looked happier here than in her later years lmaoo Janis lived her life how people couldn't in 500 years!

[@inspirationmediatube]

my favorite Joplin jam...absolutely amazing

[@RobertBlevins]

This video was created in the day where you sold your talent, rather than selling your image.

[@danzbmw]

Keep in mind , the mix for this video is subpar , being there live would have been crazy good. In Santa Clara NO Cal FolkRock fest. One yr later they opened with ‘Combination of the two ‘ it was outstanding…

[@andywalnuts8342]

mesmerizing. love janis 🫶

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

She's always Awesome!

[@richardlopez2932]

Janis Joplin kicked ass button.

[@gratefuldrifter6588]

Dont forget those dope musicians,those cats all playing SGS they can play,dope the whole band,thankyou kindly friend for the video

[@KevyNova]

Janis gets most of the attention but BB&THC was an outstanding band! This is especially great to see if you are a fan of the Gibson SG, with the whole band playing them. An SG Standard for rhythm, an SG Special for lead and an EB-3 Bass SG!

[@scottcraig1047]

Montery Pop is a great snapshot of the mid 60's music scene. Love the footage of Brian Jones and the music of Eric Burden.

[@anneliseprendergast6336]

Ive been watching the Monterey pop movie for years and years and could never figure out what that opening song was but knew it was Janis and Big Brother. As the internet got bigger and better finally I found it but not this version which is in the beginning of the movie. Just yesterday I finally found this and it means so much to me. Such a fans of all the Pennebaker films. Amazing!

[@ΧρήστοςΤούλης-ο8θ]

This was real rock and roll!

[@aprilbyassee5937]

absolutely, wonderfully, beautifully, amazingly, fucking breathtaking!!!

[@user-hh5rn4jz6o]

I saw them do this live at State University of New York at Stony Brook - and it was awesome. An astonishing line up - John Hammond Trio, Taj Mahal, Richie Havens and JJ/Big Brother & the Holding Company. For five bucks. I was in the third row and the smell of Southern Comfort was unavoidable. Janis was amazing, but heading for disaster.

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

Wow John! I am English and I once stood on the stage at Clark University, Worcester MA just to try to imagine what some lucky buggers experienced when she tore it up there

[@m3gatl20n]

I was lucky to have been at one of Janis' fantastic shows at the Fillmore East, NYC. Miss her music and her.....Mary

[@frankiebernard4728]

We're you really and if so that's beautiful

[@billyreis3418]

Love Janis

[@melodycjefferson1323]

3:26 OMFG that guitar!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@KevyNova]

Sam was way underrated.

[@hankgiddyup]

It's James Gurley

[@Numbz2dapain]

Fantastic drumming, can’t contain a smile to the groove during the verses

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

Yes Dave nailed it really nicely

[@johnmccormick9042]

It doesn't get any better than this. Janis-so fragile.

[@craigforester8872]

What an incredible performance.

[@mitchybee8258]

This is fkn Brilliant!! Janis!!!

[@timwanwick179]

God -- BB & HC were just kids when this gig happened -- but what SOUL & Grittiness they had , absolute KICK ASS performance !!! 😎🙌

[@janesullivan4256]

A cool, little mind-blower for me is that descending falsetto vocal Janis does at the cadence of the song, and note perfect. I think it's JS Bach, but not positive. That just throws a wonderful monkey wrench into the raw, ragged rock!

[@sdgakatbk]

😁

[@jjs490]

Its Friggen Primal !.. love it still...

[@hashachar70]

If you get a chance to see Big Brother and the Holding Company live in person (or live on a show on-line), don't miss them. They will still kick your ass and leave you smiling! I just watched them on-line doing a show from 19 Broadway in Fairfax, CA, and they absolutely SMOKED!!!

[@tomashton1781]

best rock song all times

[@smartalek180]

She looked happy for a while, at least.That's strangely comforting.

[@rodgarnay51]

Yes, she does look fairly healthy there. If you've ever seen the photos of Janis Linda McCartney published in her great book of rock star photographs, they're pretty scary. I felt bad for her just looking at them.

[@JamesMarsman]

Its her best song...most dont know

[@rcole3321]

2:10 you finally get a shot of James Gurley’s Jordan Bosstone 🤟🏼

[@switch6252]

love this performance !

[@kimscioloro]

I love so much how Janis was such a free bird and could never be tamed or caged. I hate that drugs took her from all of us.

[@muchmorecoffee]

So great it gives me chills! Great performance!

[@jamestheelder87]

Take another piece of my heart

[@MrBeatlesFan1963]

when that solo comes in it's like a fucking machine gun man it's mind blowing

[@stacyblue1980]

She is eternal. Continuously turning to smile and leave her heart with us. 🌹🙏🕉Om Namah Shivaya.

[@user-hh5rn4jz6o]

Never knew that were the words in the intro. Classic

[@CapAnson12345]

When I watch Janis at Monterey I'm always struck by how much healthier she looks than later in 69/70.

[@texasmade4169]

yes before her heavy drinking and heroin :(

[@starwarscollectioncarbajal8071]

Before fame got in her head

[@Starkardur]

@@starwarscollectioncarbajal8071 Janis had issues with drugs prior to fame. 2-3 years prior to this, she was on a downward spiral in San Fransisco, doing drugs, drinking heavily and even got arrested for shoplifting. She moved back home and got clean but then started using hard drugs again when fame kicked in.

[@loyaldude10]

great song, performance. Monterey not nearly as famous as Woodstock but kind of set stage for it. Janis was special. RIP

[@jjs490]

Better IMO ,,,just saying..

[@Starkardur]

Mont Pop was sort of the beginning of mainstream hippie era while Woodstock was the peak and end of the era. Woodstock was also famous for the fact that many thought it would just be another music festival a second rate Mont Pop when in fact it blew everyone's expectations and drew crowds of almost half a million people, something that organizers nor acts ever predicted.

[@huascar66]

The Monterey International Pop Festival 1967 is the Grandfather of every festival that came after. Shame it was only that one time, June 1967.

[@sandrabanchelli7831]

loyaldude10 concert of Woodstock it's most famous than Monterey popfestival

[@kelseymonier8526]

​@@huascar66born 1993 and I wish I could have experienced that era....old soul here

[@1394mvlrules]

i love this so much- i watch this almost everyday. Janis is so hot.

[@MISTERFANCYPANTS1000]

The personification of groovy.

[@Dn2M]

Fantastic.. Miss you, Janis.

[@brge15]

BB&HC came back on Sunday to perform (and film) two songs, after the huge success of their previous day performance that went uncovered due to financial reasons. "Combination of the two" and "Ball and chain" were the two songs performed and filmed on Sunday June 18. In their place i would pick two songs with Janis on lead vocals, no offense Sam but this was her moment in history. Glad "ball and chain" performance still amazes the world

[@lindsaytravis2322]

Wow! Those are some killer sideburns, Sam Andrew is sporting. And Janis is rocking out on that guiro. Dang that feedback though.

[@xiropigado]

Tons of stars at that amazing concert but Janis and Big Brother were the best.

[@LuisToledo-l3g]

🎉🎉 leyendas

[@eightinches6094]

Simply put this is bad ass rock n roll.

[@mikelisacarb]

Went into Hartford and bought the tickets, then lost them on the way home. My friend and I were just scrawny little 8th grade boys, but thankfully we had remembered the seat numbers. My father dropped us off for the concert, and the very "classical looking" usher listened to our story. He took us to where our seats were and we waited until everybody had come in. When he realized that the seats we had told him about had stayed empty, he just nicely let us have them. Score one for the bridging the generation gap that night. Janis was predictably amazing .... absolutely amazing, but the entire BB&HC band was also extremely polished and wonderful. Much more polished than this performance. A very good, tightly rehearsed group! I was sorry that she went out on her own. There is really nothing that seems to touch that "Cheap Thrills" album, (even though my mother almost made me throw it out when she saw that R.Crumb cover. LOL!

[@CatAdvocate1]

Bushnell Auditorium?

[@heliotrope3345]

Each generation discovers and falls in love with Janis all over again! I wonder if Port Arthur, TX. ever erected a statue to their most world-famous, beloved daughter. They should have if they didn't! Does anyone know?

[@onemanmatt]

LOVE IT

[@ReneNYG1]

Love you Janis

[@josecastillo1659]

Increible!!!

[@danielruchames3115]

Is that Mama Cass applauding in one of the front rows, at the very end of the video?

[@oortobject77]

+Daniel Ruchames Yup. More reaction shots of her on the Ball and Chain clip.

[@wendyrobinson9759]

Daniel Ruchames yes it is

[@gabbyc3444]

Yep!

[@mstrunn]

+1youngguy Mamas and Papas also played Monterrey!

[@borbetomagus]

@1younguy The woman (with the face length bob haircut, sunglasses and sweater) on Mama Cass' left isn't Michelle Phillips. If you search for 'Mama Cass Monterey Pop photos', there are photos with Michelle Phillips on Mama Cass' right and she had long hair at this time. It's not clear who this other woman is. It's not Joni Mitchell either.

[@NilezII]

Great Psychedelic Shred starting at 3:28

[@davinovickiber5663]

EXCELENTE. PARABÉNS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I;'ve been growing my hair long for the last year. time to rehippiefy

[@MISTERFANCYPANTS1000]

Janis is such a groovy dancer at 1:00

[@jaxcoburchez2938]

5:25 are those bloody fingies?

[@lilrolterBigBluesMama]

Awesome!!

[@TheWalterHWhite]

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Then the wave broke.

[@5BORONYCSKATES]

THAT FUCKING GUITAR FEEDBACK OMG

[@nicholasramsey5331]

Live music has that extra, deep, unfiltered sound that studio music simply doesn't have!

[@edforeman6401]

What a dynamo!

[@kevinkelleher8492]

James Gurley absolutely SHREDDED that solo, OMG

[@thomaszinski8170]

Big Brother and Janis just gettin down …making Owsley proud…oh..oh…oh yeah..

[@muttley918]

Lotta orange sunshine that day

[@carolinaoliveira5300]

The best

[@maxrockatansky1772]

god she looked so healthy here amazing performance so wish i was there....

[@jillianelisabeth3]

While the production quality is low, the light and sometimes medium texture make this live version worth listening to.

[@michaelmcknight8419]

Janis is credited as a “background“ singer. The rest is history. Down play that, all you haters.

[@tylsimys67]

The spirit with groove is everything when rockin' and there seem to be no lack of it. So no more bullshit about 'Great Janis And Her Pussy Band', says I and Mr. Scorsese.

[@blondwiththewind]

+tylsimys67 They weren't her band to begin with....they were already performng....Janis joined them later.

[@fionamarley6889]

Janis was wonderfull.

[@IvanHernandez-qm5vy]

3:33 i was there...

[@michaelcraig9449]

Janis should have joined up with the Allman Bros, that would have been something out of this world..they would have brought out her full potential. You can just see, right here, she needed a better band to really go where she was going.
