My first concert to see was Janis. I got a hug and a kiss after the show from her, and get her autograph. I still have it after all these years. no one like her...ever

Those German kids learned about the blues that night. Straight from the queen.

Janis was a one of a kind! Still after all these years , their still isn’t anyone has even come close to her! It goes to show that you can teach people to sing but you can’t teach them how to feel. And that’s what was so special about her ! She poured her soul into every performance and didn’t just merely sing! Janis you have a piece of my heart baby!

it's not only singing she does she FEELS and BREATHES music

She is so raw and completely exposed in her performance, letting everything out from deep within. I'm a singer, and I've had problems with smoking, alcohol, and drugs. When I first started listening to Janis it gave me the courage to start singing again, even though my voice is forever changed. She's one of the artists who showed me you don't have to be perfect or an opera star to give a powerful performance, in fact it can be more real in your own way. Thank you Janis. RIP.

This is the best live performance ever, for me!

It is hard to believe that this is 47 years ago, miss you Janis

20 years old here..and a singer in a band..she is my total inspiration...piss on the autotune singers of today. Janis knows how to throw down and get it right!

Her best version of this song IMO. The soul is just pouring out of her. And the raw emotion and primal nature of her singing, well what can you say, IMO you can count on one hand, or perhaps less than one hand, the singers who had the ability to do this, Female, or Male.

WOW MAN!!!How in the HELL can you TOP this MAGNIFICENT,BRILLIANT,CATCHY,WELL WRITTEN Song Performed LIVE in a MEZMORIZING & HEPNOTIC Way By THE IMMORTAL JANIS JOPLIN??CAN"T BE DONE!!!!YA Know she didn't leave us with alot of her MUSIC 'cause she died too young ,BUT man every song she'd recorded are packed FULL of EMOTIONS,ENERGY & CLASS,hits you like a TON of bricks it's that POWERFUL.JANIS would Definately be the first woman of HARD ROCK,No denying the hard edged rhythm & solos....... ,

No special effects, no auto tuner...just pure soul.❤️🎶❤️

This performance is absolutely the bomb!!!!!!!!! She is so switched into it all, and the band are brilliant as always! God i liove this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace RIP Janis Lyn Joplin ! Celizamite.

Queen of blues and soul music.

Janis don't sings that song, she's the song

i cry sometimes just because i cant witness this, but i can witness the imitations. long live music!

that was beautiful.. Janis is my hero.

My God .. this is thé best performance of Janis ever.. no doubt !!

Incredible performance. Best female singer ever?

Janis, one of a kind~~Love the powerful emotions in her singing~!

Janis is like hummmm ...... no word to describe her !

I simply love her!!

this is my favorite version of Ball and Chain

There are divine voices at many genres of music, but Janis has taken live to a whole new level, you start singing with her, but after few seconds you just want to listen.

I love you Janis, for letting us enjoy you even in this era. The amount of your passion is like you knew You will still be here.

She was young but she had known great pain through love. There's nothing more powerful than this raw performance. We miss you, Janis, and we'll always love you. Fly free now.

Oh my God is this Good. Fantastic. Udo Germany

I was there at this concert in Frankfurt. She surprised all of us & asked us to stay after the first show for a 2nd show, this taping. Then Janis told all of us to come up on the stage. It was a wild night. I was in the army at the time stationed in Wurzburg Germany.

great quality upload, thnx... janis RIP she gots it 199%

Janis, i love you.

Que manera de interpretar,wow!que linda eras Janis,y que linda sonrrisa,me encantas toda tu.seguiras viva en mi x siempre!!

Blown away!!! Janis lets the song sing her!!! Lost in the feeling without loosing the musical control!!! Oh girl!!!

She has touched my soul. I was 11, now am 65. Still have the Cheap Thrills album. Janis will always be in hearts.

What is it with this girls voice.. . "SENSATIONAL" Common world, fine somone whos close to her brilliance.. we;ve been waiting long enough now...

Да реально... блин...послушать ее песню,все равно что переспать с ней)))

Best performance of hers i have seen on youtube!!!.

I've got them old kozmic blues again mama.. She got so lost in her performances. What a soul lady.

She brings tears to my eyes...she changed the face of music forever! Rest In peace my soul sister

epic janis joplin. no blues singer today can hold a candle to her.

Thanks for posting this. I haven't seen it before. I love Janis, baby.

What a great performance! Love you, Janis

This is an amazing video all shot in one continuous take by one camera. It also has awesome sound. I wish half the music videos were of this quality. Thanks for posting.

Oh, Janis, YOU'RE BY FAR FAR FAR THE VERY VERY BEST. Thanks friend for upoloading this video. It's just wonderful!

la mas grande diosa del rock & roll mieeerdaaaa!! ♥ ♥ !!!!!!

this is the first song of hers I ever listened to, and to this day it's by far my favorite.

This is the best live performance ive ever seen!

Ohhhhhh woooooow! RAW and screaming from her soul! Otherworldly and from another dimension! Absolutely love Janis!!!😭🎼👏

Wow! The quality of this clip is superb!!! 12 stars!!

You go Janis! Luv ya to this day, You are still alive!

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cubain and now...Amy Winehouse. They were all 27. Really too young to die. So sad ! But Janis...Still the unique, the best of the best....RIP all you dudes !

Thank you for getting me through some of the hardest times in my life with your beautiful music and soul Janice. Your music really has helped save a life. Her body may be gone but SHE LIVES ON FOREVER! RIP Wonderful Woman!

Those are beautiful words......nicely said.

Big up Janis Joplin. Her voice.... still unequaled to this day and noone can compare ❤️

I've not heard this performance for many months, & I'm all teared up now. I'm all broke up sad, trying not to cry, because I'm a man?...a man should not show emotional pain/sorrow.? Who made that madness up.? Janis gave us her experience of extream painful emotion. Maybe we need to feel such pain to experience life too the full? I would rather be dead than feel nothing. Those into 'Blues' will understand what I am talking about.

I've watch this so many times...if it was a vinyl record it would totally fkin "shredded".

she was the absolutely best ....what soul, what beauty, what ..no words

. . . amazing

Tremendo sentimiento janis, no te dejo de escuchar.

Ditemi qualcuno che può cantare le sue canzoni.... Con questo trasporto ed intensità..? Non c'è Nessuna..... Lei è stata UNICA !!!!!!!

such a beautifal sight and sound

When I listen to her, I feel alive again. Only a few singers have ever made me feel so emotional.... No one will ever fill her shoes in my lifetime anyway. Janis your sad life filled us with a passion that blessed us, who have had passionless lives.

A master class in heartfelt singing. It doesn't get better than Janis.

A one of a kind! Thank you, Janice! You Changed my life!

Magnificent ! But what could you expect from a supreme artist ! She bared her soul more than any other performer The Greeks have a word for it . Catharsis and Janis had it in bucketloads

I've only recently come to Janis - I've been missing out !x

why is the question and janis my medicine, divine, authentic, raw

LEGEND! i love you janis! such a free spirit.

A great artist may she rest in beautiful peace love you forever Janis you was amazing🙏🏽🥰🥰🥰

The best and most talented singer of all time because she is born once in 1000 years

Raw passion, blues & soul....How do you explain this to those who do not listen/hear/feel with their emotions.? A waste of energy & time. You either get it or you don't....If you 'don't' get it, then I feel a loss for you. Janis put 100%+ into this performance. She cannot be faulted by any criticism of her life style & suffering (which was very great). Those who have ears to hear are blown away by it. Best performance IMO for pure passion & soul I have yet seen from her.

Favorite version of this song. Everything is like Baby Bear's Porridge.... just right.

10 years I’m listening this song .. foreva ❤ Loveeeeee

Just LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are still the best singer in the world. 💚🙏💚

The one and lonely Goddess. We are all admirers.

this is absolutely fantastic, i'm crying

Happy Birthday Janis...

Que manera de interpretar,cuantos cantantes quisieran entregarse a sus letras como lo hacia ella,nadie le va a llegar al tamaño,WOW!!!BELLA!!

MAKES ME CRY

Janis was one 0f a kind musician for a hippie woman RIP REST NOW YOU'RE ONEO OF A KIND 😇

Personally, for me the two women of rock'n'roll are Patti Smith and Janis. And this is my favourite song. Thanks a lot.

NICE! never seen this one... she was something else... i saw her a number of times in the city... she was out of her time slot then actually... but she rocked it, and people knew it was good even though her bluesy style wasnt the usual pychedelics music of choice and all... she was an icon....

listening to Janis sing is so emotional

Few artist bare their soul. You have their legacy. It never dies.

3:42 wonderful... her "s" enters in the light high feedback then she prolungates it as long as possible. one of her best musical inventions...

JANIS JOPLIN Gives it her all!!...Very BEST Rockn' Blues!!! .....Heck it's just BLUES!!!!!!!!

Gracias Janis...forever!!

wow i have never seen this video before and i thought i had seen all her vids on here. now this is music, really great - cant say enough good things.

Awesome performance and vid of Janis..Truly Janis at her best

Maldita seas janis joplin!! nunca podre dejar de escucharte...

I love it when someone puts their soul out there and Ms J does it so well! One of my faves! Thx for sharing Atim58! :)

Das Great,janis at her fu-king best! When music and the times came together,those were the days my friend

Brutal... la mejor voz que oí jamas

Janis welcomes Amy. Janis know you're the queen of hearts not included!!

i love this! i have never heard a live version of this song by her done the same ever!=] that makes me so happy.

music will never be this good. so glad I still can feel like shes singing right to me. Thank you Janis xoxo 2013 and your still loved

Imagine.... You're standing there, and you're having a good time with your friends. Nothing is the matter, because eveything is alright. But then you realize that your soul comes out only on certain occassions. It comes out when you are most vulnerable for all to see. Everyone loves you for it, though. They love you for your talentfull-filled -vulnerable state. Then you try and come down to bland level. With the rest of them- And then realize you're in am empty sea bed-

1st heard Janis 40 years ago...she still has the emotion to touch one's soul and will for ocean's of time...thank you Janis for sharing your passion.....Forever!!

She was legend ,,,

amasing video ty and congrats
