Great reaction. Yessir.. Janis.. Queen of the Blues

Janis WAS and to me is STILL AMONG the Greatest Blues, Rock and SOUL Artists of ALL TIME.

She’s the GOAT!!!!!

Yes that was Mama Cass. No one knew Janis before this performance. It was her introduction to the world and the look on MC's face says it all. A voice like no other. Much love to the band also. Big Brother and the Holding Co. were phenomenal. Suggestions....."Summertime" and "Cry Baby".

And I was there!! 🌹🌹🌹

First reator that knew that was Mama Cass...Right on

Best female vocalist to ever grace this planet.

So sorry for your loss. Finding your Dad's music and experiencing her music is amazing. Janis is Fire! You are also the 1st to immediately know Cass. You are a gem.

I remember this when it first came out! Janice is absolutely the GOAT! One of my absolute favorites was “Mercedes Benz”. Whenever you can. Much love and appreciation from California! ❤️🍀🌈😇🙏🏻❣️

Would you look at the agony in that face that goes all through her! Love seeing her happiness when the audience explodes with appreciation! God bless her!

This square boy from New Zealand was there, and when Janice, who appeared to be nervous and shy when she first came on stage, blew away all the straight lines and corners.

Great reaction. Thank you!

This was originally performed by blues artist Big Mama Thornton.

Me and Bobby McGee is my fave of her songs!

The group was Big Brother and the Holding Company of which Janis was a member that appeared at Monterey. Hendrix, the Who and Otis Redding also did epic performances at Monterey

WOW is right !! me too...

The fact that your dad has the same favorite artists(if ALL TIME) as me shows he has good taste😁 Janis and Jimi were my kindred spirits once I discovered them.. They just hit different 💙

check out Summertime. Both live and studio. It'll knock your socks off.

I LOVE YOU JANIS!

Thank you for your review. JJ was a one-off -- no one else like her, ever. The studio version of Move Over is amazing. She brought that raw passion to work with her wherever she was, and you get that even in her studio recordings.

I've been binging on Janis for the past 3 weeks, and the goosebumps NEVER fail. And this is like the 10th reaction of this performance I've watched in the last 2 days, and still goosebumps and watery eyes from the feeling she gives off through her voice

I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Listening to his favorite singers is a lovely way to honor his memory. I loved your reaction to "Ball & Chain," and yeah, Janis's vocals were out of this world. If you want to learn more about her as a person, I recommend the documentary "Little Girl Blue". As for my favorite Janis Joplin song... well, it's less showy and more mainstream than most of hers, but I'll always love "Me and Bobby McGee" for its wistful melancholy.

From the Monterrey Pop Festival , 1967, the Summer of Love. Get the DVD! LOTS of epic performers/performances!!

Janis was authentic and felt every song. That's what!made her a superstar

He recognized cass

Loved your reaction! I’m an old Texas chick who was young when Janis came up, also from Texas. She left us way too soon!

Definitely studio version of “Piece of my Heart”

Work me lord is a amazing song from Janis

God bless you. Your father had excellent taste and you’re honoring him by doing this. ✌️

Goooooooooood

Janis is the GOAT in my opinion. Recommendations, do all live versions of her songs. To Love Somebody(on Dick Cavett Show), Maybe, Work Me Lord(live in Sweden), Little Girl Blue(on Tom Jones' show), Raise your hand(w/Tom Jones), Cry Baby, Get it While You Can... and so on.

Love your reaction!!! This is a song that touches your soul....Janis takes your breath away..thank you so much for sharing your reaction...🦋

Ball and Chain was written by Big Mama Thornton, it was her song, she wrote and the company didn't release it but held the copy rights and gave it to Janis Joplin to sing, she did get permission from Big MA MA Thornton.

Mama Cass was amazed

Janis is my absolute favorite, thank you for reaching! If you could do her summertime performance or her work me lord live in Stockholm performance, those are fantastic!

Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Like your dad, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix were my two favorites when I was in high school and they were still alive. Still are two of my top all-time favorites. It makes me so happy to see young people discover her artistry and magnificence and get off on it just like we did back in the day. I met all the guys from this band Big Brother and the Holding Company and spent a whole night with them with a mutual friend, unfortunately by that time Janis was gone and I didn't get to meet her. I do have a note that she wrote and signed framed as well as three of her original concert posters from San Francisco. One of my lifelong best friends to this day knew Janis very well in San Francisco and has some great stories. Anyway, loved your reaction and best of luck with your channel.

From 1965 to 1969, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker were THE TOP Soul/ Blues performers on the planet- still are for me. Then Robert Plant forced his way into the mix with Led Zeppelin. Peace from Canada, man- I'm in (like/ sub) .

You can train a voice for strength and precision, but you can't train personality into it. Certainly not soul. Thumbs up!!!

Janis was the blues.

🖤🖤🖤👏🏼👏🏼🇲🇽🇲🇽🤗🤗

You were the only one doing these that knew that was Mama Cass

Now you know!!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad. My mom passed away in 2013 and I miss her still. Janice Joplin was one of her faves too and passed on the great music to our generations. Great reaction video. Subscribed!

They took her they had to , to much soul!! Soar with the angels Janis!!!!💕💕🛸🛸🛸👽🥲🙏🫶🏾

Sorry to hear about your dad. He was obviously a man of good musical taste. I was fortunate enough to see Janis about three months before she died and it remains on of the best shows I have ever seen. As good as this is (and it certainly put her on the map) the live version on the Big Brother album Cheap Thrills is actually better! There's no video I'm aware of but it is well worth your time checking out. There are a bunch of You Tube videos of her on the Dick Cavett Show where she gives some of her best video performances. All great stuff.

Mama Cass says "that was some heavy shit!"

She's so intense

Your channel just popped up in my feed, I'm your 948th subscriber lol - I hit the sub button as soon as you described your reasons for wanting to jump into the Janis rabbit hole. Seeing people diving into music just to broaden their musical horizons is amazing in its own right, but your reasons for doing so; doubly amazing! And then you said your Dad suddenly passed on January 25th...which is my birthday. Oddly enough, Janis & Jimi are two of my favourite artists (they're a part of my musical 'home', my foundation. I remember the first time I ever heard both of them, and I knew that, in music, I'd found my first true love in this life.) I think your Dad and I would have had a lot in common, musically speaking (I hope that doesn't come across as weird in a creepy way.) I'm so very sorry to hear that you lost one of the most important people in your life this year...I wish I had the right words to lift the pain from your soul. I just want to say thank you for honouring your Father in this way, and thank you for reaching out to the music for your own personal healing. Much love, from Australia xx

Great reaction. Props for knowing who Mama Cass was. A great singer A great singer in her own right . you want to know a good one look for Janis Joplin my baby on the Dick Cavett show. You could also look up cry baby which is also a good one great reaction

Enjoyed your reaction and subscribed.

Just a stunning performance. On a side note, how high is that bass player?

Me And Bobby McGee is one of her most famous songs

This sht makes my goosebumps feel like bee stings

I am subsribing based on you like Janis lol

Please do ME AND BOBBY MEGEE by Janis Joplin !! a must !!

Maybe those questions may be answered

Greatness transcends time....she's no less amazing today as she was in 1969.

Recommend Summertime and Cry Baby

Hope you are healing five months later though I know it takes time

“No real teaching that.” Exactly, but natural talent can evidently be dangerous; hence the 27 club (Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Amy Winehouse and, of course, Kurt Cobain).

"Cry Baby" for sure.

It's funny, when Janis met Mama Cass, the first thing Cass said was, "Hi, want to do some acid?" And Janis said, "Sure!"
