yeah, and that woman that was staring dumbfounded was at that time extremely famous singer in her own rite. Mama Cass. I grew up listening to this because my mom was a straight up hippy back in those days. I just lost her last year and man listening to this almost rips my heart out reminds me of my mom and how amazing she was.

If Mama Cass is mesmerized and speechless that is proof positive that Janis is otherworldly!! Janis was one of a kind!

[@jonimartin5961]

That festival was supposed to launch the music career of the Mamas and Papas. When Janis and then Jimi Hendricks took the stage, it made the Mamas and Papas look like amateurs.

[@deanhall6045]

Absolutely mate. Some people make a (valid) claim that Aretha is GOAT, but nah, its definitely Janis for me. Depends where you're from to an extent, we heard Bobby McGee and Take Another Little piece, on the radio here in Australia but never heardAretha, not until Blues Brothers came along then it was only Respect. Regardless, I love them both. Cheers mate. Good point about Mama Cass. 😊

The woman in the audience looking at Janis Joplin sing "Ball and Chain" at the Monterey Pop Festival is Mama Cass Elliott of the group "The Mamas and the Papas" who was an excellent singer in her own right and that makes it even more interesting that Cass is so in awe of Janis Joplin singing.

This performance basically introduced the shy, meek, self-conscious Janis Joplin to the world. Mama Cass was the lady in the sunglasses (of 'The Mammas and the Pappas' fame)...this festival opened the eyes of the world to Janis and she skyrocketed from this performance. Love your reactions Adogg ✌❤️

[@juniorjohnson9509]

@Timothy Burns Mama Cass never was exciting! She was good, but exciting??????

[@SheitlQueen]

@Timothy Burns I read that Mama Cass and another person from her group would go to concerts to check out others to see if they were a threat to the Mamas&Papas. At every concert they would look at each other and say we have nothing to worry about. But after seeing Janice they told each other "NOW we have something to worry about".

[@LesCish]

Monterey Pop?

[@charlottee212]

Janis was a tragic figure in musical history. To have so much soul so young comes from some hard times. She was raw emotion, a very rare talent. You should check out Mama Cass, the woman you mentioned in the frozen screen shot. Another legend who also died too early.

I cried for 4 days when she died, I grew u in TX Gulf Coast it hit a lot of us very hard when she died.

[@rickymeadows3763]

That's one female voice that will never be matched, many have tried, none have even come close ! She felt every lyric and told a story from somewhere deep within her soul. Very few have that magic. Most are merely singers, Janice used her music to tell a story that grabbed you and wouldn't let go until she was finished with the song ! Thanks for the vid man !

[@lynnhafferkamp6054]

Thank you! ❤️🤘🏼

[@debbieplato5107]

Yes, her passion cannot be contained! There will never be another Janis Joplin.

[@DeeZaster13]

Crazy how someone so young can sing with that much emotion. Her voice is so addictive. She was real, raw, and powerful af! Just look at that stomp! It's coming from every part of her! How can you not love her?!

[@phapnui]

I saw her perform at a university back in the 60's. At that time I didn't know who she was and just went to every concert offered. I had front row seats in front of a low stage set up in the big gym. She came out with Big Brother and I thought, "Isn't she the homely one.?". She talked a bit then started singing. What an experience!!! She put her soul into every song (and between sips of Southern Comfort...I was close enough to see it) and I fell in love with Janis. I didn't stand a chance with that Janis Joplin energy. From seeing her as homely to seeing her as totally beautiful was an important life lesson. There is no ugly in soul.

[@georgesturges2918]

My Dad saw here after his second tour in Vietnam. He said the same thing. 1000s of men in the Audience were mesmerized and her voice gives me tingles up my spine and my arms to this day. Some one should study this effect. HOW DID SHE DO THAT?

[@cellgrrl]

The very reason Janis could sing like that was because of the treatment she got in life such as being voted the "Ugliest Man on Campus". Such disgusting cruelty on part of those that did that to her. Janis was an intellectual, a free thinker and feeler, living during a time when women were to follow the social norms of a time gone past. I lived it too, and was just 2 years behind her at UT. I have never truly gotten over her tragic death.

[@sergiussouth4754]

I wore out 2 of that album. I'm on my third now. We were spreading Love back then. Hugs were free. (And they were real hugs.) I sure know we weren't shooting each other, back then. (The NVA was doing plenty of that to us.) We were making love, not war. We were all part of "The Family." I was hitchhiking, selling tatted headbands. It was a wonderful era. I send love to all.❤ I still believe that love is the answer.❤ People, please... Spread love today. 💖

[@OpalAllen-j8r]

@@cellgrrl I don't believe that about "ugliest" as she was petite and cute. All I can say is God gave her too big a talent and she couldn't handle it. It was a time of drugs and liquor to help bring a person through. I know that I couldn't have lasted long in a tragedy that she lived through.

[@lynnhafferkamp6054]

Very well said. Jerry Garcia said something to the effect that Janis was a pretty ugly girl, but when she sang she was gorgeous

[@edwardcorrigan4775]

If you ever see Janis doing interviews she always seems humble and respectful what a wonderful soul she was. I don't know about anyone else but for me every time I hear her voice singing I get chills up and down spine, Anybody besides me have that reaction to Janis.

The woman in sunglasses was the iconic Mama Cass from the group Mamas and Papas. One of the legendary groups from late 60s and early 70s. Janice had fans, still does, from all walks of life and many from the music industry. Great reaction! heard this song hundreds of times and it still blows me away.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

John Mac was bank rolling Monterey Pop.

[@chipsterb4946]

Somehow the camera captured the moment Cass Elliott thought to herself “What the fvk am I going to sing now?” Don’t get me wrong - was a fan of the Mommas and the Papas at the time, but Janis live was a whole new dimension.

[@lolanelson9634]

I was at that concert, and it was unbelievable! It was the first concert of it’s kind with Woodstock following right behind! I had the incredible privilege of being to both.

I’ve heard many say that Janis had so much emotion in her voice, and she did, but even more than that is that she could bring out your emotion with her voice

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Janis was the greatest females blues/rock singer ever - IMO!!! One of a kind. Very sad, short life though. Bless her soul. Please play her version of "Summertime" . Also her very last song "Me and Bobby Magee" always brings a tear to my eyes. Please also check out the greatest (IMO) male blues/rock singer again - Steve Marriott. He is often called the "male Janis". Such a soulful singer. You have enjoyed his performance, with his band Humble Pie, of Black Coffee. Another amazing singer who passed away much too early. Robert Plant , David Bowie, Roger Daltry among others called him the greatest blues/rock singer Britain ever produced. I recommend Humble Pies performance of "I Wonder", Fantastic blues guitar solo from Clem Clempson and a soulful harmonica solo along with the magnificent singing of Marriott. Thank you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXaUqmR3itSEqNU I Wonder Humble Pei

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Yes, she's my hands down favorite!

[@juliemanarin4127]

She sure was! Marriott was great too...Humble Pie!

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Yes! Hands down my favorite. The first Queen of Rock and Roll and Queen of the Blues.

Janis was a force. That woman loved Southern Comfort and cigars... and sang Texas deep Blues. She was Janis from Port Arthur Texas. May she never be forgotten.

[@deboraclark5791]

My dad loved the blues, and Janice was top of his list of great ones.

[@pulamusic]

Dude, the woman whose face you noticed was Mama Cass, a great singer in her own right. Janice Joplin was a true gem.

[@nathaliablaze116]

Cosmic Blues and Summertime are my favorite songs from her. She is so unique the amount of soul in her voice and performance is crazy.

[@micoleo5602]

that was footage from her debut performance at Woodstock the rest is history all the Headliners performers expressed that they were amazed and fell in love with her at that moment..

Janis is truly a jem. My gma gave me her album "Pearl" when I was in middle school. This was in the early/almost mid 90s. So it was a cd. My gma was a strong, country, ghetto woman. Lol. Straight 80s/90s Texas. She called everyone "Baby" & "Honey". Lol. When you think of old movies with the waitress in the diner serving food with a cigarette in her mouth calling em "Baby", that was her. Lol. She was obsessed with Janis. We are from Texas. Janis was from Port Arthur, TX. She gave me that album & I became obsessed. I had to learn everything about her. This was before FB, IG, TikTok, MySpace.... All that. We learned everything from books, people, or tv. So I was on a mission to learn about Janis. I read a ridiculous amount of books on her. She was an outcast. In school they nominated her "Ugliest man on campus". Smfh. So h0rrible. They made an amazing documentary on her & she was explaining how she was bullied in high school & college. She got famous & came back to her hometown. People tried to run up on her & she was nice. When they left she says "That was one of my schoolmates that made fun of me." 😔 Her face said it all. So sad. Such a beautiful soul. Inside & out. She was so talented. She di3d at 27. She became part of the 27 club. If you haven't heard of it, I suggest you look into it. Lol. It's like an urban legend I'm the music industry. I'm so glad you enjoyed her performance. She was truly one of a kind. A lot of people didn't like her back in the day cause they said she was "trying to be bl*ck". Ridiculous. But that was the times. The woman in the crowd looking at her in aww is Mama Cass from the Mamas & The Papas. An amazing music group from back in day. She is a legend herself. Lol. That shows you how amazing Janis was. She left people in awwww. I truly believe she was a special moment in music history. You will never find someone that sounds like Janis. RIP 🖤🖤🖤🖤

How strange that pure beauty can come from great personal pain.🥺

[@tony690]

This lady puts tears in my eyes. My man, thank you for this video.

[@morganspector5161]

The band was Big Brother and the Holding Company. Yeah, they played blues :) As for Janis, just raw, honest emotion. And the vocal range to carry it off

[@richardpincelli1191]

That heavy set woman was Mama Cass from the group “Mamas and Papas”.

[@jeanine6328]

What I love is She was really putting on a performance, she’s just get out there and pour out her soul…. There was nothing out on about it. She was raw.

[@toniomalley5661]

I’m a 66 year old Irish lady and I love that you are finding the divine Janis hopefully many more will give her love she deserves

[@edwardsmusicsongsmusiclyri7578]

Like everyone says...you might like Janis doing "Cry Baby," "Piece o' My Heart," "Me and Bobby McGee," "Summertime." She definitely influenced Amy Winehouse. And she was influenced by all the great female blues singers. Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Etta James: "Tell Mama," "I Would Rather Go Blind," "At Last" (used in every movie since 1980)

[@lizroberts6257]

I wish we had more of Amy...😔 She carried the torch that Lady Day beagan.

[@frankversteeg8107]

Amy , sadly, also died the age of 27, so a little too much of an influence maybe?

[@lindadodd6289]

Wasn't that Momma Cass in the audience at the end? What a performance, sends chills up and down

[@NYCHFAN]

I knew you'd love it!! So glad you checked out more of her music. She's awesome!
