Y’all should listen to the studio version as well! She is high as a kite in this video.Unfortunately she liked more than weed. The drugs got the best of her. She was the ultimate singer and entertainer. I love her!❤️❤️❤️

Janis was well known for drinking Southern Comfort, even bringing a bottle on stage at times.

The greatest female blues/rock singer ever.

Janis wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤ 💚 💙

So good to see Janis. And don't listen to other people. Always live. Live, live, live. She did some great music at Monterey, worth to check out. Brilliant lady !

Listen, the fact that she brought up people from the audience is epic and shows you the kindness in her heart

This was in my parents' time. She was a hippie and loved her weed and other things. But so were many artists then. Check out Mercedes Benz and Me and Bobby Mcgee. She was the female version of rock in the day.

Acid was a big drug for rock stars back in the day. When you mentioned Janis Joplin I can't help but mention Jimmy Hendricks because I got exposed to them when I was only 11 in 1970. I did acid before I smoked weed and Janis and Jimmy is what we listened to. Yes when I got older and went to concerts, 16-17, joints would be passed around in both directions in the crowd and we never had a shooting because it was about enjoying life, love and having sex.

You should listen & watch her live videos to Summertime, Cry Baby, especially this Live performance Ball & Chain at the Monterey Pop festival, her first time being on the big stage. Yes Janis died of a heroin overdose. She was my favorite & this was not her at her best as you guys were fixed on how high she & everyone must have been (which of course they were, everyone at concerts in my time were high) other than her voice that gives you the chills.

Love this she was feeling good ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Taken from the world way to soon. Imagine how many great memories we could have shared with her. Amazing voice, great talent.

this crowd is having the time of their life and im all in for it. Janis the legend, seeing her at work is amazing.

That's the music I grew up with. Thanks to my daddy. May he rest peacefully 🥺

She was a once-in-a-lifetime artist! An incredible voice! Sadly she died at 27 years from a heroin overdose.

Oh lordy!!!!.... THIS woman is a LEGEND!!!!!..... amazing blue's voice!!!..... Definitely gone way before her time was up!😍😍

Winding back the clock to one of the greatest. Anytime is the right time for Ms Joplin.

OMG Janis is amazing, love her :X:X:X

Love her. I'm old, grew up with her.

I need to thank yall for helping me out of my depression since my wife of 30 years passed yall are angels especially my weed brother half

I grew up listening to Janis Joplin, my mom was a huge Janis Joplin fan. It’s a shame she died so young imagine the gifts she would’ve given to us musically over the years if she was still alive.

So much fun back in the day and you're right...high as a kite. I will say though, the relationship between blacks and whites, especially in this age group, was the best it's ever been in this country, just so cool that way too. Way ahead of today, those were definetely "the days"! Thank you for your great reaction guys....Allright we were partyin' BIG TIME hahaha! And I'm 67 so I KNOW first hand lol!

THANX for that, H&J, you lovelies crack me up!! Janis Joplin ( from your youthful perspective), died a lifetime ago. she was, as you jokingly commented, from the "Hippie Generation", & she loved her heroin & Southern Comfort liqueur; our Ms. Joplin didn't fool around. --> methinks you 2 masters-of-music would appreciate doing some research on her, she's bloody fascinating, she was friends with some of the world's most iconic musicians; Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison from the Doors, John Lennon of the Beatles, (probably) The Stones, & the most successful & widely known Black Headbangers, R&B Musicians, Soul/Gospel legends of their era. the gal was always telling the press that she wanted to be a Black, Blues-Rock fusion Warrioress. - here's a comment from a serious GOAT: “Janis Joplin sings the blues as hard as any black person.” - B.B. King. ~ w i z a r d. Janis only chose, "Piece of My Heart", bc it was originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. watch some documentaries on Joplin, Ms. Jai, one of her most potent desires was to be a gorgeous Black woman. Janis-baby probably was in a pastlife, & the "blues feelin' mama" was perhaps aching to be that energy again. had to toss that info in, bc she was not always thrashed outta her head on heroin & booze, when she became "electric" on stage. she was a focused & uninhibited Goddess. excuse the screenplay.... I adore your Reactions; play Erma Franklin's, "Take Another Piece of My Heart", I haven't heard it yet.

She was one of a kind. Outside of the stage, drugs and booze she just never found her place in this world. So talented and so tragic RIP Janet.

Janis Joplin is her name my darlings ❤

You should hear her albums because the sound on this is so tinny . Janis was so cool ☮️

Janis is a Texas treasure!! I love people who get so completely caught up in what they love! And yes. We did used to party just like that!! Everyone TOGETHER with no fights or bullshit.

I was 10 then but still listened growing older. Songs just didn’t die off like they do now, so we got to appreciate the 60s in the 70s too. She died in 1970 at 27 same year as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. Check out Jimi and Jim of the Doors

Janis Lyn Joplin was an American singer and musician. One of the most successful and widely known rock stars of her era, she was noted for her powerful mezzo-soprano vocals and "electric" stage presence. Wikipedia Born: January 19, 1943, Port Arthur, TX Died: October 4, 1970, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

Yes I'm 60 grew up in New Orleans Janice shows it like it was

Thank you! One of my all time favorites! You guys are awesome- Happy Friday!

She was a alcoholic . She would drink a large bottle of southern Comfort liquor befor the concert. She was drunk alot before, during and after her concert . There is a movie about her life call" the ROSE" STARING BARBRA STREISAND

Faith Hill recorded this song in the 90s and didn't realize until afterward that it was a Janis Joplin song

She was told early in her career "woman don't sing Rockn'Roll". Pffft!.....Hold my purse & be carefull my drugs are in there. Then went on to be an icon in Rockn'Roll. Tragically her career was cut short ya know due to the "70's life style" When I was about 10 I heard "Bobby Magee" and was floored by her voice. Please give that one a listen to. R.I.P. Janis.

Listen to Get it while you can..You guys are one of the Best parts of my day..Love your good vibes..❤

Janis always had a bottle of whiskey close by.. But she was an awesome blues singer, sadly she passed away when she was 27.

Everyone on that stage was in another dimension, lol, their bodies were there but their minds were in outer space.

Love yalls energy, it's so refreshing ❤️🙂

I wish I had been born back then! 2 of my aunts went to high school with Janis at Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur tx.

yes we rocked big time back then and knew how to party hard my 2 young friends a time when musical giants like Janis walked the earth and if you were there , there was a chance that you would be high and flying with he rest of us..

Yaaasssss Half an Jai awesome pick love y'all's videos keep em coming

She didn’t have concerts …. She threw parties lol … love her music …. I’m so glad I grew up listening to her … one of the greatest artists to have ever graced the stage … R.I.P Janis Joplin ❤

Listen, I laughed my ass off when you said how many people in that crowd or on mushrooms because that’s so freaking true!

Janice was, is and always will be the perfect picture in life as a true hippie. She was a tough ass, f#@k U, hard drinking and partying kind of girl who honestly loved. Kind of naive because she ran from everything hard in life through drugs and alcohol. Music and drugs was Janice's core. Her heart and soul went into every recording and concert. She was definitely the coolest cat in the room. Rock or blues, Janice was down.

Janis is my musical heart and soul, thank you for this reaction! 😊💙

Gotta love Janis

All those people are on something. Lol, they really felt the music. That's for sure

Yall might be my favorite couple on KZfaq. Thanks for what you do

I was a young teenager when they was around performing live.

Janis died of a heroin overdose. She was only 27. Better Midler played the role of Janis Joplin in "The Rose". Good movie.

Okay - side note. First - I love you both so much. 😊 I have watched so many of your reactions - AND while watching I see little orbs occasionally floating around by y’all. I’ve wanted to mention for the last at least year but since I keep seeing them I decided to finally say something 😂. Seriously

I bet the girl with the white shawl was say. Man I was tripping so bad. I swear I was on stage with Janice Joplin

I love me some Janis 🎶😉✌🏽music is life ! 💜

They were ALL TRIPPING.... Imagine all of America doing that for one day.... peace and love

The way y'all love goofing n it makes me smile. 4 real yu 2S would have fungi fun 4 sure!

Glad you found her! ❤️

More Joplin always 💜

Yes to all your asking and still partying but little slower than I used to be but still enjoying

Originally recorded by Erma Franklin 1967

Peace, love, Dope!! Anti- Vietnam music is the shizzznit!!

I like to watch after work to wind down from a bad day. Y'all always make me smile and put me in a better mood. No greater way to raise your vibration than watching music you like with someone else enjoying it also. I love y'all

she rocked the blues

You're hair is natural and I would be all in to Janis. I love both of you

Old school parties. love it!!!

I'm late on this but you guys need to react to the tribute done on the Grammy awards to the late great Janis by Melissa Ethridge and Joss Stone. Melissa sang it just like Janis did. It is a Must Must Must See!!! Please I beg you!

Janis could bust..some moves!

I don't now but back in the day😊😊😊😊

To hear her true vocals and singing the studio version is amazing!

P.S. Jai & Better Half, I found another version of "Piece of My Heart", you guys can embrace a Rock-Reaction Competition (all using the same tune). this 3rd example (if you listened to Erma Franklin), will slay you; the Hall o' Fame rocker is Steven Tyler, kicking ass in his 70s, from Aerosmith. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h92iotBprJ3DoqM.html

Like others have commented...Heroin and booze catching up with her here.... An amazing and beautiful soul....Check out the album track of the same song. Cheers.

Janice died at 27 from an OD, she drank non stop & did everything drug under the sun. She was an incredible singer and sadly she's left this world was to soon. (PS. I partied my ass off as a youngin)

Love you both! Big love from Texas ❤️🤍💙

Please do the studio version of "Work me Lord" That was the first song I heard from her and that day she became my kindred spirit bc she was singing the soundtrack of my life 💙

Yeah, I partied to this type of music in the 90's. And I must admit there were chemicals involved. But it was all peaceful and fun.

😎JANIS😎 Y'ALL. I'm high now. Was high then. Janis and Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) were the hippest hippie chicks EVER. 😎 Just now noticed the straights grooving with her.

My friends drug me to a Grateful Dead show, I'm not a fan but those folks get higher than giraffe balls. One of my buddies said he was gonna to get some Shrooms. I was like whatever weirdo. After about 15 minutes came back with the most shrooms I've ever seen in my life. Good times!

Please do more Janis. You will love all her songs! Thanks for this one!☮️💖😎

My mom’s favorite singer she said Janis dropped in on a helicopter in Chico park in Chico California sand a few songs and bounced shit must of been crazy back then lol

Love you guys! All the live from Sweden ❤

Everyone in that crowd and Janis were on acid

You should definitely dig deeper into Janis Joplin. You can't really go wrong but go for live recordings where available. Great review!

Y’all are such a great couple.

Honestly, as good as this is in showing the real Janis, the studio version is the place to start to get the real meaning of this brilliant song. She was probably on her second bottle of Southern Comfort for this performance.

I love you guys you make me smile with e try reaction y'all do . keep on wit the good work helll yeah

That was the days of the hippies. We all were. lol

Lol! Y'all are so damn entertaining! #JanisJoplin

Story time: My mom was a big fan of Janis so for Mother's Day, wayyyy back in 2002, my brother and I took her to the off-Broadway show about Janis' life. The woman who played Janis' signing voice was amazing so I looked her up and have been a fan ever since. Almost every show she does at least one Janis cover. She actually had a role in the movie Across the Universe based on Beatles songs. Her name is Dana Fuchs. You don't have to do a reaction video to this but if you like Janis' voice you definitely will love Dana's. Happy listening! 😊😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNd0m9iau8zce30.html

He’s cha cha in. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Half that's a valid question! Lol shrooms hahahah

FUN TIMES INDEED!! Yes

❤❤❤THATS YOUR MAN!!!

One of the greats.

You should see what she can really do. "Ball And Chain" live, "Crybaby", "Summertime". Not my favorite version of this, but it really showcased the scene back in the day!

She is a part of the 27 club. Singers who died at age 27 including Jim morrison curt cobain and more

Janis is a member of the 27 club..she passed away from a massive heroin overdose in 1970

If you listened to the studio version, you'd appreciate how talented she really was, instead of focusing on the drug use.. She was a transcendent artist.

Awesome singer yep did everything back then

Me and Bobby Magee is one if her most listened to, imo. Back then it was mostly heroin and acid tabs. Janice drank whiskey and did acid almost daily and still mellowed with cigarettes and joints. She works hard, on those trips. Shrooms were in the crowd I'm sure but I'd bet on acid tripping for everyone.

half the crowd on shrooms? hell, it was a requirement to get in the door, lol. LSD, shrooms and mary jane were staples. check out her woodstock performance. the bass player is fried out of his mind

Good Vibes Good Vibes Good Vibes!! Love your videos!!

Well I see Half got some rest!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
