I had the good fortune to see Janis WITH Big Brother And The Holding Company. I have always felt that band was her best. I was a true "Flower Child," but unfortunately never made the trip from Iowa to Woodstock. Janis was shunned in high school because she wasn't regarded as pretty. She had enough inner beauty for dozens of people. She made the choice to dig deep in her soul and the blues was her escape. Probably her biggest influence was "Big Mama Thornton." Any blues man can hear Thornton's influence on many songs, especially on Ball and Chain. I heard the two disc set at my brother's home and came home and bought it right away. I can hardly wait to own my own discs. As a blues and R&R singer, trust me, this IS THE REAL THING!
This CD combines both Janis Joplin's performance at Woodstock (one CD) and Janis' CD Kosmic Blues (2nd CD). The Woodstock performance is hard to find because Janis did not think it was her best performance. For those who do not know, she died 14 months later. I consider all of her performances precious. My copy included a Woodstock poster which was a BIG surprise. I LOVE IT! I listen to it over & over again. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of blues, rock and roll, Woodstock, or Janis Joplin. You will not be disappointed!

Janis is at her very best. She's mind-blowingly good, and the Woodstock crowd adore her. I listen to some of these tracks like "Summertime" and "Ball and Chain" over and over, which is rare for me. No one could match her.
