Janis of course was a force of Nature but I never enjoyed her music as much later on. I loved the band Big Brother & the Holding Company including their great singer, Janis! The other guys were awesome and deserve more historical recognition. Maybe they weren't super technically advanced on their instruments but they created original psychedelic rock music that was raw, real, experimental, gritty and great!

It's hard to explain in words how the great talent that Janis had has effected my life over these many years. Janis is an Icon and Legend in the history of "Rock & Roll" and thanks to KZbin we are still able to enjoy the great talent that Janis shared with the musical world. There will never be another Janis Joplin and as I said thanks to KZbin we are still able to just sit back and enjoy the music Janis left with us.

[@bluzmansb5683]

This is a very interesting timepiece although someone should correct the date as it is incorrect. As others brought up in the comments this was in 1967 before the Monterey Pop Festival. BBHC certainly sound very amateurish but their joy in the sound they were producing is obvious. Janis , at this point , was very intent after a year's work with this band to have them cross over to a larger audience. This was actually before she started to do the waaaah' wail and raspy voice delivery. She definitely had a clear sound at this point. The voice she developed later required extreme amplification to support it as it was a pure head voice. Hearing their innocence in their interview is also very interesting and endearing.

[@stevenrevins4663]

if it sounds amateurish it's because it isn't polished like most music we hear

[@r.lasker5148]

@@stevenrevins4663 BB&tHC was not then (never was) the most polished musical entity. Other musicians, quite clearly, had either more technical prowess, better "musicianship," or both. That said, and granted the production level (low) of many recorded performances from the late '60s, one cannot deny that some of JJ's most iconic recordings were done with that band. Her untimely death left many unanswered (unanswerable) questions . . . However, the answer to how great a performer she was is right there in the discography ... just take a listen.

Big Brother and the Holding Company in early 1967. Janis has her Ball and Chain down pretty good. She usually wore granny glasses at this time. Saw them a lot free in the Park. The group was OK, but by this time, everybody wanted more Janis. The first time you saw her, you knew she was very special. As long as she stayed in San Francisco, you knew she was safe.

James Gurley and Sam Andrew were both great and original.

[@brcrose3464]

They were seriously ELECTRIC musicians. I often read that the band was considered "sloppy," but the more you listen and watch them play live, especially in a close setting like this, I suspect "sloppiness" is better translated as "a consistent element of sonic unpredictability." Janis shared that as well, albeit vocally. They never seemed like a band performing by rote. Very acid, very wild, very alive. Too real for most people, probably. I wish I could have seen them! Thanks for posting; still such an inspiration for musicians today, who covet playing a set that tight and still have the audience wondering if you're winging it!

[@iain79]

Big brother were a good band Janis is awesome talking of sloppiness i have been listen to The Velvet Underground & Nico quite a bit some of that is sloppy but I cant get enough of it. The West coast bands were better than East coast bands in the 60s by far imo The Doors, Byrds, Love, Big Brother, jefferson airplane and canned heat etc etc but what a time for music ✌

My brother brought home Cheap Thrills when I was maybe 11 years old. It remains some of the best guitar interplay, between Andrew and Gurley, that I've ever heard! Sad to learn this evening that Sam passed last year. Great to see this tonight! Really, man, thanks for putting this up!

[@TheLisab56]

Yes. 67. Love this video. Just babies!

[@foghornsan]

I don't know that Big Brother and the Holding Company ever did anything less than a stellar performance. The period of 1966-1967 in San Francisco had great bands, and BBHC was one of the best, even though short lived. If anyone has other film of a live performance PUT IT UP! I was at the Fillmore on February 19, 1967 in San Francisco, California when Big Brother and the Holding Company shared the night with Jefferson Airplane, a great group. Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady and Paul Kantner put on a fabulous show, but Big Brother and the Holding Company blew them away: it was like a firecracker compared to an M80. Standing right at the foot of the stage was a great place for me to experience both groups, and when Janis exploded with that voice, and James Gurley and Sam Andrew played notes that didn't exist anywhere else, what a phenomenon! That there is footage of Big Brother and the Holding Company is great for music history. That a new generation is hearing this group and liking them is great! Get your hands on the early LPs if you can.

The KQED special was called Come Up The Years : Big Brother And The Holding Company and it's part 2 of this DVD. It was broadcast in April 1967. Come Up The Years was a song by Jefferson Airplane on their first album. Ball And Chain is still her signature song as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for uploading this.

Since light gauge string sets were not available in 1967 I'm wondering if Gurley tuned WAY down to get what appears and sounds like extreme "slinkiness"? The first I was aware of light gauge string sets was created by using a Tenor banjo A string for high E and moving all other strings down one position and that didn't hit my area until late '68.

[@muraya_music_NL]

My best bet would be that he only used the lightest strings from a 12 string guitar which was pretty common in that time in folk/americana music. I think CSNY also used this technique.
