JANIS JOPLIN PIECE OF MY HEART REACTION - She's like a Hurricane! 

The Girl who sang the blues, thank you.

JANIS JOPLIN "BALL & CHAIN" LIVE AT MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL,, THE PERFORMANCE THAT STARTED IT ALL FOR JANIS & JIMI.

Janis singing summertime. Just wow!

Janis is the best ever just cause its Janice Joplin , I love & miss her so much 🤘🏼✌🏼

Such classic 60's vibe ! She was so precious !!

Best female voice to ever grace the planet. My opinion!

The Queen!

In Toronto 1970 I squeezed my way up to the front of the Festival Express stage to watch Janis blow the crowd away. She was incredible! She died 4 months later :-(

Check out the clip of her and Tom Jones’ duet on his old TV show. He said that she told him “Man, you can really sing!” He said he replied “So can you!” They are sooo different but that performance was epic!

Love her!

She was absolutely beautiful! This makes me cry. What an amazing woman. She was so not about herself, she gave herself away. ❤✌😥

I saw Janis perform at the Eagle's Auditorium in Seattle WA, USA, in August of 1967. I had seen footage of her performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967, and when I heard she was coming to Seattle, I bought a ticket. It was amazing.

'Cry Baby' is the ultimate Joplin.

Jimi Hendrix was 27 , so was Jim Morrisen from The Doors all part of the 27 Club , man that way blows , God Bless every 1 of them & us , all , later ✌🏼🤘🏼🤍🙏🏼

Janis was the bomb.Blew all the other's away

My favorite female singer(and a distant cousin to me)

BeeGees song " To Love Somebody" she brings so much emotion in her version. Ineffable

"Cry Baby" & "Maybe" are my fav Janis songs. Queen of Rock & Roll. In Don McClean's "American Pie," he sang "I met a girl that sang the blues, she just turned & walked away." Studio version of this song really rocks!

How true how exceptional artists die in their prime through personal issues. So many. 😥 At least we can keep all musicians who passed alive in our hearts ❤❤

Raise Your Hands with Tom Jones on his TV Show is well worth a watch. Two quite different artists both with amazingly powerful voices. Tom was used to blowing everyone away with his vocal performances, but with Janis he was the one having to run to keep up with her. The result was a fantastic, and fun duet.

Janis was definitely something else I have loved her since I was a teenager even wrote some papers on her in high school it really was a huge loss to the musical community when she passed a true life tragedy gone way to soon!!!

You gotta check out the studio version, also “Me and Bobby McGee” is another classic. If you want to see a phenomenal performance of Janis, check out the live version of “Ball and Chain” at the Monterey Pop festival

Janice's manager once told her she needed to pull back on her voice a bit or she would eventually lose it, she replied that she would never do that, the only way to perform was all out.

Incredible voice. Sad addiction. My heart breaks for her. She endured so much tragedy.

Big Brother and the Holding Company.."Cheap Thrills" album!!!Any song! Janis Joplin.. it's a masterpiece ❤️

The original is sung by Aretha Franklin's sister Erma Franklin

Listen to “Ball and Chain” live at the Monterey Pop Festival. It was her first intro to a lot of people. And then a live version of “Summertime” the old song from Porgy and Bess.

Oh wow. Another great reaction. I saw Janis Joplin sing this at a Hollywood Bowl concert in 1968 or 69. She just brought the house down. My wife and I could hardly speak the following day our throats were so sore. 🌺

“Cheap Thrills” album version of her songs is what you need to be listening to.

Ball & Chain live

I had a job where one of my supervisors would put Janis on at 5am as we opened and I was always like: "Man, I love Janis but it's too damn early for that kind of intensity now..."

One of the greatest moments in Rock history!!!!!!

I saw her live at one of the Atlanta Pop Festivals. She put us to sleep with Summertime.

Ball and Chain at Monterrey Pop

Please, Summertime, Cheap Thrills album! As others noted the studio version was better, but you were already aware of her energy. She definitely was a force to be reckoned with musically!

Hi Harri , how are you , I so love your taste in Muzak , nice to see ya again 😃✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As much as I love watching her live performances, when it comes to this song, I like the album version better. But there’s no denying that she was a force of nature. ✌️

Listen to the studio version, on the album “Cheap Thrills.”

From Port Arthur Texas…just down the road from Beaumont where Johnny and Edgar Winter are from

I wonder what lives the people on stage have had? Dancing machine dude, shy shawl girl, etc...

Areatha Franklin's sister Erma Franklin was the one who originally did this. Her version is good too -- funky and soulful.

Beautiful reaction, Harry. Could you do studio SUMMERTIME from the Cheap Thrills lp by Janis? Thank you.

JANIS!!! A one off to be sure, there will never be another, she was so fantastic...and that voice, that energy! Thank you for reacting to this one. About that screaming voice, I don't know but Steven Tyler is still sounding the same after so many years singing with Aerosmith and he screams it out. I think that some singers just have that ability and it never goes away.

really depends on what live version , Stockholm 1969-live Summertime exceeds the album version, my opinion.

Her best performance is Ball and Chain from the Cheap Thrills album. It's better than the film version from the Monterey Pop festival.

Check out happy joyous Janis with Tom Jones on his epic show duetting on “ Raise Your Hand”- their chemistry is incredible!!

Performing with that gravelly belt can take its toll on a person's voice however there are techniques to protect your vocal folds. Serious performers turn to vocal coaches to learn how to protect their voice. A great example is Beth Hart who has the power to belt with the same intensity. Over the years she has learned to protect her voice yet still be able to deliver the gravelly belt with incredible tone, vibrato or rasp. Check out her cover of Black Coffee with Joe Bonamassa. If Janet had lived long enough she would possibly have developed the same maturity and range.

Janis = Jan Us. Janice = Ja neice.

Talking about Janice Joplin, love her natural raspy voice. Have you listened to Bobby McGee? If not then you really should, it says a lot. A book named The Rose is about her & how she went from TX to California. It's a very good but also so sad that I cried until the last page. Thank-you for sharing bc there was not nor will be another like this LADY Akita, 🇺🇸 woman

I was afraid it would be the live version. The "Cheap Thrills" version is much better. If you ever react to "Summertime", PLEASE do the "Cheap Thrills" version.

That's Aretha Franklin. She is a real soul singer. You should definitely check her out. The studio version is naturally more polished, and Janis wasn't loaded.

Please check out the studio version-just for contrast.

Always!!!!!!! do Pink Floyd and AC/DC live. Studio quality or better on stage.

Decent live footage but I'd never load it up to get my late-night rock & roll fix. The studio version should have been your intro to this, it's rock history, got lots of radio air time and is exquisite.

React to Janis on the Tom Jones show

This is her signature song, she lived fast because she felt she had to live the blues to be able to sing the blues authentically. I don't consider this her best performance of the song, she's not focused on the performance. I recommend listening to her live duet with Nick Gravenites 'Ego Rock' from her "Joplin in Concert" album, it's bluesy and funny at the same time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QDl_gTFVr2U.html

Harri check out the new queen of rock n roll Courtney Hadwin performing this one on AGT . Courtney is another young girl just coming into her teens who is an amazing performer!!

The original Erma Franklin version is worth a listen and if you like Janis Joplin you will like Maggie Bell in Stone the crows who is just as good

Lots of off-duty U.S. military in the crowd looks like. But you can imagine being a shy young woman coming up to dance and all of a sudden Janis freakin Joplin herself in all her drunken glory is singing directly to you?

LOOOOOOVE your reaction, HBMR!!!! She was such a shooting star. From the bullying she suffered in high school for her looks and for sticking up for liking African American, r&b music at a time when that was taboo in her town of Port Arthur, TX. There's another singer that's in the process of bursting into the rock scene who many say is the next "Janis Joplin". This young lady has a similar growl, grit, rasp . . . BUT she also has a beautiful soft voice and, in that way, is more versatile than JJ. Her name is Courtney Hadwin and in 2018 she sang Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" on America's Got Talent and that audition became the 4th more viral moment in AGT's 15-year history. They state that she has over 300 million views on those audition videos!!! Here is the link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gPHVLxm8U-0.html About a year later, in 2019, she performed JJ's "Piece of my Heart" at a concert by British rock group, The Struts. They invited her to perform 2-songs, including this one. She was ONLY 14 at the time!!! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dq6XN2jS1sE.html THANK YOU!!!!

If you want to hear where Janis's inspiration came from listen to Etta James. A good song of hers that will show you what I mean is "I'd Rather Go Blind". Listen first to the recorded version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u9sq3ME0JHQ.html and then to a live performance of it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uZt1xKtPbUQ.html. No one will ever touch Etta James in the pure emotion she brings to any song she ever sang. RIP

If possible, take a listen to Hi Ho Silver lining by Jeff Beck.It came out just after she died.He tried to pull it but was to late.He has only played it a few time's

Another female singer with a gritty voice is the Welsh Bonnie Tyler. She's most famous for singing Jim Steinman songs (he wrote Meat Loaf's best stuff) but here's a link to her singing the CCR song 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?'. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sH8oSVs_spg.html She can belt out a tune too and she's still going.

I wish Angelina Jordan would cover this song¡!!!!!!!! How about reacting to Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson. It's probably her biggest commercial hit.🇨🇦😃

Harri you should check out Sass Jordon ~ Make me a believer

Janis was very likely drunk. inviting everyone up. She had a thing for Southern Comfort whiskey.

6:15 Was that George McFly dancing with Janis?

Beverly Knight also did this song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EMWQY9gEMe8.html and every woman that does puts her feeling into from having had hearts broken and torn out.

As far as I know she is called "Janis Joplin" not Janice! Great reaction!

Studio version infinitely superior.

Janis is a very tragic story, not unlike a lot of the bigs of the 60s and 70s. She was just looking for someone to love but she looked in the wrong places. So sad,

Yes, raspy vocals but Tina Turner!! But you notice Tina will do a tour then disappear then come back. Prob to rest her voice but she's still got it. Janis got depressed about Jimi dying among other things.

Studio version is better Imo Although she is unreal live

Harri if you have not found it it was Erma Franklin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L0QAxIKf8G4.html my own history with this song I really did not like it until it happened to me, then I fell in love with it.

monteray

Harri is extra amused by white dancers. 😜 PS I can't find the other JJ vid you did; I guess 1000 people told you who the "woman in the audience" looking amazed at the performance was, by now.

There is no song in which Janis Joplin did not give 100% of herself : Summertime, Ball and Chain, I Need a Man to Love, Kozmic Blues, To Love Somebody, One Good Man, Move Over, A Woman Left Lonely ...

Helping to Heal the children of WW II germany in a shamanistic performance......

Try Me And Bobby McGee!

bassits albin

NOOOOO! ALWAYS listen to the studio version first!!! The live version, which is very intense, like you said, is also inferior to to the album version. Listen to it and you’ll see…

This is a below par performance btw.... its decent ! but studio version is my favourite by far

Not that it matters; but I don't know if we can assume she is "under the influence'', here; based solely on her reputation?

That woman with shawl should NOT be on that stage taking up space!

The only good Hurricane in history, lol.

This performance takes a great song, by a great singer, and relegates it to a stoned diatribe. I expect negative feedback, but this was just discord. Awful.
