JANIS JOPLIN - Cry Baby Live in Toronto 1970 REACTION.One of the most influential female singers ever,shows why she is so reverred. #janisjoplin #bluesrock #musicreactions
Nobody can say that Janis mailed it in, ever. She had only two ways to sing - hard and harder. I got to see her once, so long ago now that it sometimes seems like a dream but I’ll never forget her personality on stage and wondering how she could sing like that. Incredible. Faults and all, she was one of a kind and golden. RIP
Her breakdown/story telling in the middle of the song is so great. And that she has the audience right in her hand, all of them wrapped up in the moment - such beauty.
I used to listen to her albums when I was a kid, I wanted to marry her so badly. I thought that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I thought her face was so safe, and her smile was so warm, but her eyes held so much pain.
Oh Darling Shad what a sweet sincere sharing🫂 you have a special soul! Blessings to you and yours with big hugs from an old woman. I sure needed that vision of you as a SWEET CHILD 👶
@@susanpettigrew1754 Thankyou so much Susan! You are not an old woman, you have just been a young woman for a while. I thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment, as most people do not bother to take time to do so. People these days are so cold, that the warmth around them feels like a burn. I thank you for being that warm soul who can see beyond a computer, and look into the soul of a human being. May God bless you and yours, and please keep your heart as it is, pure. Thanks!
Janis Joplin - There was only one and there will never be another. Back in the day we know Janis was good, what we didn’t know was how great she was. We do now know.
She played Toronto on June 27/28, 1970. This Tour became a movie, Festival Express. My buddy saw her twice, only about a week later, in Calgary, at McMahon Stadium, on July 4...she also stayed in the hotel he was working at. 19 at the time, he was totally tongue tied when she appeared, unexpectedly, in the same elevator with himself. Sadly, she died exactly 3 months later, on October 4. Ironically, I posted earlier today about the 27 Club. 🇨🇦
Janis got my wife thru some tough times when she was single. Recommends Janis for anyone that needs/digs her. But my lady can't listen to Janis anymore. Great performance! Thanks!
Omg!!!! Janis was a one of a kind singer. From her album "Pearl" from 1970, "Cry Baby" was such a great emotional hit. Janis could out sing the best of them with her personal style of banshee screams and raspy voice, of her life experiences pouring through her veins and into your hearts. Great piano and instruments. Such a sad loss at only 27. Great live performance from Toronto.🇨🇦 Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Uncle Phil. Fabulous. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Great video and reaction. I saw her in Louisville on her last tour. The crowd got so crazy that the police stopped the show in mid performance. Janis didn’t stop singing even after they turned on the lights and cut the power to the stage. The show resumed when things settled down and a memorable night was had all.
remember seeing her walking down Height street with a bottle of Southern Comfort in her hand.more than once....can't count the number of times I saw her show..strait theater..speedway meadows most weekends...Fillmore..Winterland... those were the days
Janis Joplin was a one of a kind singer with a unique voice. Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. "Me & Bobby McGee" is one of my favorites. She had a lot of great songs such as "Summertime", "Down On Me", "Maybe", "Little Girl Blue", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over" etc.
@@susanpettigrew1754 I love playing fantasy bands, Susan. 😁 Being well aged at this point in my life (maybe fermented is a better word, lollllll 😂🤣), and having played guitar for 60 years, the classic era of rock is in my bones. I grieved more over the loss of Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Janis Joplin, and all the rest than I did for many of my relatives. Not that I'm mean spirited, it's just that as an orphan, when I finally got to look up my family tree, 3 dogs were using it!!! 😂😁🤣✌️🕊️🌹
@@danjoda755 Awesome !!! We just lost Jeff Beck and I really just burst out crying. I am a little younger but I am a hound dog for all music. I'm an offshoot of Celtic Cape Breton musicians and I know I am music itself. I cant play an instrument but I am a drum kit, I whistle well enough to repeat Mozart or Duke Ellington and sing strong whenever n wherever i can ( mostly at home but living in a downtown core gives me super acoustics for whistling out n about) Anyhow, nice to meet you here where no one is angry talking!!! Take care and Blessings to you and yours from my favorite snowy Canada📻
@@susanpettigrew1754 Many thanks, Susan. I can easily empathize with your vibe. I wish I had the confidence to say I am a soul of music, but in my time I was at least the left pinky toe 🤣😂 One of the worst faces of my reality is that I had a bad fall in 2021 and badly smashed my right hand. Playing my guitar now is extremely painful, and it torments me. In my life, I enjoyed some achievements, some wins, you know, but playing the guitar was the one thing that made me feel whole and complete. C'est la merde, I suppose. 😋 I am humbled and delighted to have made your acquaintance, Canada, and I extend warm greetings from New York City, North America's collective psychiatric ward 😆 Stay well, and may all good things come your way. 😇🌹✌️🕊️
HarriBest you are a heavy soul! I agree with your take on Janis's expending that volcano of emotion and what that could mean for filling her vessel back up after. She was like Marilyn Monroe always searching for that elusive unconditional love and acceptance. She loved her men, but they somehow couldn't give her what she truly needed from them as I understand history. I love love love everything about you and your show! I enjoy the whole fashion of getting ideas from your patrons as its so satisfying to hear all the performers from the appreciation of FANS! Power and blessings to you from snowy Canada🦬
@@JeanetteFaith So hurtful to know she was sad along side of her love for singing...😥 Alice Cooper said Only women bleed I think he meant our unique suffering for our love of men. Thank you Kay, blessings to you and yours 🌟
@@susanpettigrew1754 Maybe so. I don't even think her family in Texas loved her. I always sensed she was in pain! Maybe even bipolar. I think she may have wanted to die. Don't know. Blessings to you as well!!!
Harri this is documentary footage from the documentary Festival Express. the Grateful Dead, Janis, The band, Buddy Guy, Ian and Sylvia, Delaney and Bonnie. and a few other acts took a Train from Toronto to Calgary which was a Three-night trip. They had cleared one of the cars out and had drums and amps guitars all setup. The bands had so much fun it was a three-night party only getting off the train for a couple hours for the concert then a big party the rest of the night. check out the documentary it's on a few of the streaming networks.
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 ❤ 💚 💙
Oh Harri, Harri, Harri!!! Thank you very much for this 💜! I can't exactly explain it, yet I needed this. Extremely emotional right now. All love. 🙏💜✌️🎶🤟
i was there Hari, standing right in front of the stage. Janis knocked everyone out. It as a great show the Festival Express. I only got to see her once. but that was enough
This is my favorite JJ song. Favorite line is on the record: “You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world. All you ever gotta do is be a good man. One time. To one woman. And that'll be the end of the road, babe.” So come on, come on ,come on and cryyyyy baby.
This footage is from the movie "Festival Express", about a Canadian Woodstock style festival that took the bands to the people aboard a train leased by the concert promoters. The concert footage is amazing, like this segment here with Ms. Janis Joplin, in my opinion the BEST in concert material of her ever released. But the footage on the actual train has got to be seen to truly be appreciated. Janis, Rick Danko, and Jerry Garcia jamming in a drunken stupor at 3AM rolling down the tracks, crazy stuff. Highly recommended to everyone who loves this kind of music.
( James) Janis Joplin was incredible. Another good one lost too soon. She covered the song Words by the BeeGees at her concerts and did an incredible job.
We lost a lot of them back then and are losing more and more of these icons now. They still had so much to give. Can't compare the 60's and 70's composers, singer to anyone now. I won't even turn on my car radio. It's garbage. Same with the Grammy's on this weekend. Used to look forward to REAL musical talent and competition. Can't watch it now. Garbage like hip hop, Lizzo and gyrating pretty boys. No melody, crappy lyrics, no harmony, no talent....nothing.
The greatest female singer of all time a young gentleman taking RU-vid by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
This is not JJ at her best but that’s not the point. That just a woman on a stage could command in audience like that without any of the theatrics that would much later take over “live” performances says it all. Most performers give “show” - she gave BLOOD.
This was shortly before her death. You can see in her face, and even her vocals are slightly off key, that Janice was not her usual self. The pressures of being a Super star, and having to fulfill record contracts, concert and television show appearances, seems to have pushed her deeper into the Bottle, and her Heroin addiction. Sadly, like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, (The Doors) Janis was about to join them. Such a talented woman, but also very troubled as well. God Bless Harri Thanks
Janis died before Jim Morrison and according to all accounts wasn't using heroin on this tour and only started it on again shortly before she died which was months after this.
She was just so RAW! So sorry she overdosed! Talent just destroyed. Jim Morrison as well! Hey Harri, do a Doors song! Maybe LA Lady or The Changeling!!!
try rush working man live in cleveland. or the weapon live . in that one geddy sings plays bass and pedals and had added keyboards so he played all of them at the same time. or for metal iron maiden live. hallowed be they name. various versions.both take pride in their musical ability to play the album live.
This is actually a great cover of the original by Ganet Mimms. I actually had this GM album and was already familiar with the song when Janis releases it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dCXtKgG1rzA.html.
I'm not sure the intensity is because they know they won't be around, so much as the intensity is why they aren't around so long. So many of the people you mentioned when you listened to another of her songs, died from drugs. I'm not sure they can handle to talent God gave them without a bit of "help".
Lets face it Harry ... Besides being over-worked, Janis was a very lonely woman. The guy she's talking 'bout "needing to find himself" was probably more real than fictional ... A genuine asshole too. No doubt. Over-worked, exhaustion and loneliness played a key role, I'm sure, in the increase of booze 'n' heroin. So we will never know for a fact if her death was a true o'd or suicide. However, that is beside the point. Janis may not have been the most 'beautiful' singer to grace the stage .. but what she had on the inside and in her soul was 10x's more beautiful. Had she truly found that "one man" that didn't give a rats ass about outward appearances, that only loved her for who she was as a woman ... Who knows what could have been. The fantasy is endless. Sorely missed ... ☦... RIP J. Lyn J.
My favorite version of Summertime if you haven't seen it already. Also Janice at the Monterey pop festival is awesome. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bn5TNqjuHiU.html
Excelente, Harry !! Janis, inolvidable !! si puedes, reacciona a Whitesnake en vivo : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-szbP1b20SWE.html&start_radio=1, creo que te pateará el culo...jajaja. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina !!
Harri. Let's get real. It's sad that the blk reaction channels are NOT REACTING to the roots of music. There's a channel that plays so much SRV, that they thought "Voodoo Chile" was SRV'S, song!!! That's CRAZY!! So when they played Jimi Hendrix's version, THEY WERE SHOCKED!! They even played a live concert piece, where Jimi played with his teeth, AND THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, AND SAID IT WAS FAKE!!!!!!! WTH!!! My point is Janis Joplin, bowed down to Tina Turner,( Janis said "Ike is the ringmaster but Tina is the show") THE original QUEEN OF ROCK!! Play some Ike&Tina, they covered The Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Zeppelin. Tina was the "Acid Queen" in the movie "Tommy"!!! Rod Stewart, based his singing style after Tina!!! Mick Jagger got his "moves" from Tina&James Brown!! If there was no Muddy Waters, first off, The "Rolling Stones" name wouldn't exist. ZZ Top came from a combination of the great ZZ Hill and B.B.King.(alot of people don't know this information) Pink Floyd is named after two great bluesmen!!! If there was no B.B. KING, there's no Eric Clapton!!!(check the PBS special, where B.B. calls Clapton his "spiritual son" before the world!!!. Derrick and the Dominos, Clapton is channeling B.B. King, vocally, and guitar wise. Make it happen. You even thought "How can you Mend a broken heart" was an Al Green song🤔🤔 Hit the ROOTS OF IT ALL, to paraphrase the great Little Richard, the ORIGINAL KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.
Hi Samuel, I love all the performers you brought up!!! There is a channel where two young brothers react to music and they are the EVERYTHING flat out excellent! Here is the link to them hearing Phil Collins In The Air Tonight. They nearly have heart attacks n I adore them check em out and see what you think 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0l3-iufiywU.html Blessings to you and yours 🫂
Harri, I always liked watching your reactions to music but lately it seems you are giving praise to even the worst of the worst. Janus Joplin did nothing but scream, She was a product of the flower power drug culture. At that time it didn't matter what you sounded like you just needed to be a part of the group. I was there I am now 75 years old and have listened to Janis kill so many songs than most, and I mean that not in a good way. People will go on giving praise to her because it's the hip thing to do, not because of the music.
This won't be taken kindly, but - As much as i do appreciate her abandon and her love of the blues, my sense of pitch is in full cringe mode for all of her live performances and half of her studio work as well. Where was auto-tune when it was needed most. No joy in saying that, but...
@@lotsoffun4716 People are kooky LotsOFun thank you for being a heavy soul n calling out the ridiculous waste of words!!! Blessings to you and yours Hero🤸
