The band was always way better than the chic singer. PERIOD.

Though Big Brother sounds rough in this video, they went on to get to a high level of musicality while maintaining this very distinct San Francisco sound. If you werent there youll probably never know it. You've got to hear them playing the Avalon Ball Room, and bouncing that big buzz monster off the ceiling. Nothing like it. Very cool to have this video of them at this stage!

Hate to say it about this band, but most of this SOUNDED AWFUL.

Jp Pickens. If you know you know

My first concert was Janis. I got to meet her, she hugged and kissed me and told me I was cool. I still have the autograph she gave me.

😊

Why write if you are never heard

wow

Так исполнять можно только под кайфом

I was there.

Brilliant camera work at the start showing the bassist then drummer during the guitar solo.

She did not gave a f..k That s make her so unique

James Gurley and Sam Andrew were both great and original.

whom ever convince Janis to leave this band ,was a idiot

Janis let it all hang out when she sang 😎 The most memorable scream in music history Piece of My Heart toward the end. Lady was wild and a music force

does not look like..Mr.JAMAS GURLY ON LEAD GUITAR???

Her biggest mistake was leaving this band

I thought this was from 1966

Sam Andrew was hot

Tenho orgamos quando ouço Janis!

Doing Nig Mama Thornton proud. Proud as hell.

The best version was the one at Woodstock... That guitar player,and those horns were incredible...Oh,and the pianist did excellent work also!!!

I hate the Smak dealers that infiltrated the Pop Scene.. They are directly responsible for do many death's amongst the greatest artists ever... Scumbags

Love this song! #DarbyGould Big Brothers and The Holding Company played this song last night, (April 6th 2024)at Almost Famous in Livermore, Ca, as a memorial tribute to #janisjoplin ✌️☺️❤️👏 #trivalleylivemusic #livermorelivemusic #ballandchain #almostfamouswinelounge

I love James Gurley's playing

There was no one who could touch the talent Janis had. And no ever will. Simply incredible. She was at her best with Big Brother. My mom saw this incredible band at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.

If you are very blessed once in a lifetime.

My God, how this woman is missed by the music world. Eternal JANIS

Meu deus, como essa mulher faz falta no mundo!!

I don't know what it was, a strong feeling of soul, but I really connected with her, 60s was great music, nothing after close except prince, I believe anyway

GOT TO SPEND 30 MIN. ALONE WITH HER. SHE WAS REAL NUF. SAID❤

❤

They connected great

They broke the mold after Janice . Unique young talent .

4:28 i can't explain at words,just look at her face and you will understand. Rip janis❤

Amo a Janis Joplin increíble gracias RU-vid por recordarla tenía 14 años iba en segundo de secundaria hasta la fecha me encanta su voz increíble y big brother fenomenal por ella hasta la fecha amo el rock es mi terapia saludos RU-vid

BB was rhe perfect backing band for Janis! Scrappy and perfectly imperfect. I love them!

Amigas

JANIS, TE FUÍSTE A BRASIL PARA PASAR DEL "JACO". TE ENCONTRASTE CON SUPUESTA AMIGA TÓXICA. VOLVISTE A RECAER. ESO NO SON AMAGAS SON PERSONAS QUÉ TE ARRASTRAN AL "INFIERNO" PORQUÉ? JANIS, SIEMPRE SERÁS MÍ CHICA (METÁFORA? 😢❤❤❤

🌹🙏

At this date she announced to the big brothers that she was leaving the group in August of 68

I remember when KQED (TV) tried to unsuccessfully auction a Big Brother and the Holding Company gig, before Janis came on board. This performance tells us why the bids were thin to non-existent for the band.

I believe there wouldn't be a Led Zeppelin, if there was no Janis Joplin
