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.

This comment makes me appreciate the toggle behavior of the caps lock key.. also the apostrophe.

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.

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.

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

And while this may be a big DOH! for some of you, only in watching the concert DVD did it finally dawn on me who Eric Burdon was singing about in the lyric, His majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd. (I hadn't yet put two and two together regarding this line.)

In a Cream DVD I rented, EC acknowledges that they weren't there because Stiggy (Robert Stigwood) didn't think the timing was right! (It didn't matter, though, as Bill Graham would soon book the group for an unprecedented two weeks at the original Fillmore.)

AFA Janis goes, the performance of hers that really put me away was in yet another DVD, Festival Express.    {#Arrowd}

I heard about this movie at a Tom Rush concert. Tom was bantering in between songs and mentioned how he was on the Festival Express. After hearing his tale of being on this party train with Janis and the Grateful Dead, I had to get the movie.

Probably the famous Monterey Pop festival in 1967. Were there crowd reaction shots including Cass Elliott (it may have been Michelle Phillips, I can't remember) looking absolutely stunned and slack-jawed at her performance?
 
It was Mama Cass.

And what a performance it was. But the performance that she was slack-jawed about was Ball & Chain, not Move Over.

Ah the memories return ... a couple of days after this track was finalized, Janis and I smoked a pipe, drank some Rye and had some furious sex ... not love-making; just plain old sex.

I still miss the girl.

And my 4 ex-wives know that too..

I caught that by accident on a cable channel one night, I was surprised as the movie was unknown to me. I got sucked in immediately.

Caution, though, it can be heart-breaking to see all these people when they were so young and so full of promise . . .

Also: I'm agreeing with nwskinner down there: it went from7->8 for me because it cleared my head big-time, with the very first bar, in this case cleared it of Bowie.

All this Janis Joplin love fest brings out the contrarian in me.  Can you say over-rated, accidental over-dose, over hyped.  Roger Daltry said it best: "I hope I die before I get old". I'll stack up a Neil Young against a Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison any day.

The thing about singers like Joplin is that they really "live" the song. They don't just sing it, they bring it to life. Every ad-libbed "oh yeah" (or "oh no") is like a crease in a well-worn pair of jeans. Superb.
