It's odd that I really don't believe Janis would have seen the light of day in these times. I do, however, understand why she was immensely successful when she was. A shame that she died when she did.

Anyone wanting to sing rock 'n' roll shouldn't even think of that pathetic showcase of karaoke. |

Todd Rundgren was going to produce this album, but he and Janis didn't get along.

jagdriver wrote: Yes. I rented it from Netflix about a year ago. Be sure to get the complete set; the extra bits with interviews with Lou Adler, et al., were very interesting. And it was from a rare book by (Beatles press agent) Derek Taylor that I learned that, aside from Adler and John Phillips, Johnny Rivers was also one of those involved in helping organize the concert. And apparently it was Sir Paul who recommended they get one (then-unknown in the U.S,) Jimi Hendrix Experience on the bill.
The book is "As Time Goes By" and the American edition has "Living in the 60s" or some similarly foolish subtitle. It's well worth finding at your local book store or used book store. If you are a serious Beatles fan, it's a good addition to your library. Generally, anything written by Taylor is worth reading. He was a polished writer and wit and he witnessed everything. His book on the recording of Sgt Pepper, "It Was Twenty Years Ago Today" (released on that anniversary) is one of my favorite rock books. I believe it has been reprinted as part of the digital remaster process. |

Umm, Ann Wilson? Nancy played guitar and mostly sang backup. |

Jimi had written Johnnys' hit 'Summer Rain' earlier in the piece.............. Meanwhile, Janis was writing her own history..........
