If Mama Cass is mesmerized and speechless that is proof positive that Janis is otherworldly!! Janis was one of a kind!

i love it when someone discovers janis. i'm 71, and this was my generation. she'd be so pleased that she is still awakening others to her incredible talent. enjoy, sweetie!

The woman in the audience looking at Janis Joplin sing "Ball and Chain" at the Monterey Pop Festival is Mama Cass Elliott of the group "The Mamas and the Papas" who was an excellent singer in her own right and that makes it even more interesting that Cass is so in awe of Janis Joplin singing.

If you ever see Janis doing interviews she always seems humble and respectful what a wonderful soul she was. I don't know about anyone else but for me every time I hear her voice singing I get chills up and down spine, Anybody besides me have that reaction to Janis.

"that woman on the screen" was another of the GREATEST SINGERS of the 60's, Cass Elliott! You *NEED* to check her and The Mamas and Papas out!!!!

Young Gentleman, I was born in the same hospital as Janis just a few years apart. You will never, ever hear another voice like hers. I'm so glad that you are listening and reacting to her music. She died much too young, but you keep on keeping on.

Her rendition of "Summertime" is as bluesy as it gets. 💕

There will never be anyone like her. Just a force of nature on that stage

She came onto that stage a relative unknown. She left the stage a superstar. What a voice, what a legend! RIP Janis.

Janis was a tragic figure in musical history. To have so much soul so young comes from some hard times. She was raw emotion, a very rare talent. You should check out Mama Cass, the woman you mentioned in the frozen screen shot. Another legend who also died too early.

Every cell in her body was feeling that song. That’s just how she was. So much passion and truth in every song she sang.

Dang, the lady was a powerhouse, left us way too soon. She still gives me goosebumps.

Hey Adogg. She grabbed the attention of 400,000 people at that concert because no woman had ever sang like that, or sounded like that. She was truly unique.

I'm 74 an go back to all the music in the 50s 60s an 70s respectfully.....those Decades Were some Great Musician......

Your face said it all!!! Great reaction. Janis gave it her all man... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Don't know how many times I've watched this performance, but it still leaves me awestruck. So intense. Love listening to her, but watching her do her thing is even better. Janis was something very special. Left this world way too soon.

The ACID coming through the Guitars , Janis was SO Special I remember hearing her for the first time LIVE, WOW !!!

Gotta share. Janice was my mom's kindred soul. When my mom passed away and as I left the funeral home my playlist went from one song and jumped like 4 other songs to get to Janice singing Me & Bobby McGee. There won't ever be another Janice! Glad you stumbled across her.

I had the good fortune to see Janis Joplin perform live in the spring of 1969, Queens College, NY. Small venue. She was electric. Remember when she died. What a loss! Still miss the heck out of her.

Janis and Cass were both lost way too soon. Amazing voices, amazing performances. Can only imagine what more they could have contributed to music. That said, Adogg, look into Cass Elliot, Dream a Little Dream is a good start. Great video.

That woman on the screen with the sunglasses is Cass Elliot of the Mama's and the Papa's. Listen to then! What a treat!!!

As a longtime Janis fan, 69 yrs old, this was fun, thanks, Adogg! The awed woman in crowd was Cass Elliott, another superb vocalist, who helped organize this event. (Her big solo hit was Dedicated to the One I Love.)

Piece of My Heart is my favorite Janis tune, but she rocks em all.

Lucky to say I actually saw her in person in the 70's in Massachusetts. Back when concert tickets were affordable.

Janis was one of the greats - there was no one like her during that time. Was a sad day when she passed so early.

As I was there (16 years old) this is the moment that stuck with me for all of my life. BTW you had to see all of the crowd, everyone was floored by the power, soul and emotion Janis dumped out on the stage that afternoon

Janis's voice goes from glass on sandpaper to satin ribbons. Never be another one like her.

My HERO. THE QUEEN. I saw her !!!! She could move you to heaven. I miss you Janis🙏🏽♥️ NEVER going to quit playing your music. RIP sweet Angel♥️🙏🏽😇

I was at this performance, Adogg! I loved her so!

I'm so happy that you're experiencing music from the 60's and 70's. It was B-E-Y-O-N-D!!! Notice, there's no light show, auto tune, etc. Straight up talent - legendary!!!!

Your reaction was beautiful! Janis was one of the many who died at about age 27. Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix.. it was crazy!

It makes my old musical heart so happy to watch your face go through such beautiful enjoyment! I can see how you're "getting" her.

Let me amaze you just a tad bit more. The heavy woman with shades they keep showing in the crowd is the great Cass Elliot of Mamas and Papas fame. She was truly blown away. I have read that since Janis always just blew the crowd away, other groups were afraid to go on behind her because they couldn't compete LOL. Great reaction, perfect actually!

We are so lucky that film exists of Janis's performances, but they are nothing like being there. I will never forget when I saw her live in 1969. What a great time to be alive and be in her presence.

On her first album they introduced her with this sentence. BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY. AND ONE GREAT GREAT BROAD. love it

This is EPIC!!! So glad you like her...her soul will live on forever in out hearts....thank you for your reactions..welcome to the magic of the 60's and 70's..🦋✌️

Janis was the greatest females blues/rock singer ever - IMO!!! One of a kind. Very sad, short life though. Bless her soul. Please play her version of "Summertime" . Also her very last song "Me and Bobby Magee" always brings a tear to my eyes. Please also check out the greatest (IMO) male blues/rock singer again - Steve Marriott. He is often called the "male Janis". Such a soulful singer. You have enjoyed his performance, with his band Humble Pie, of Black Coffee. Another amazing singer who passed away much too early. Robert Plant , David Bowie, Roger Daltry among others called him the greatest blues/rock singer Britain ever produced. I recommend Humble Pies performance of "I Wonder", Fantastic blues guitar solo from Clem Clempson and a soulful harmonica solo along with the magnificent singing of Marriott. Thank you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KE1y1AUoQrs.html I Wonder Humble Pei

I’ve heard many say that Janis had so much emotion in her voice, and she did, but even more than that is that she could bring out your emotion with her voice

The lady in sunglasses was Mama Cass RIP. saying Wow, Wow. Janis was part of our generation and the blues was born inside us, partly because of her. Jimi, Stevie, and dozens of others. I was 18 in 1967. Glad to see the good music lives on

Thanks for sharing, this performance is from Monterey Pop Festival, she was my teenage obsession and I have 7 Lp's of her ‼️This song is a song of Big Mama Thornton, Janis made it to her own, Janis is now called the Queen of Rock 'n Roll, she's fantastic‼️She's in the 27 Club, among the artists doing drugs that died at 27 years old, Jimmie Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Curt Corbane, Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin ‼️

I first heard Janis in 1985 at 15 years old and I've loved her ever since. My favorite singer! I hope I meet her in heaven.

She did pass at the age if 27, she belonged to the 27 club along with Jimi Hendrix , Jim Morrison , Amy Winehouse and others that passed at age 27, thank for the video

Love me some Janis my whole life through...cause when she sings, she MEANS IT, baby!! Hahaha Total AWESOMENESS!!!! : )

She was something else. I wish we’d had her longer. Just watch her feet. She’s giving you everything she’s got in this performance. I love all her songs. My favorite is Little Girl Blue.

That lady in the audience reacting was one of the most popular singers back then! The Mama's and the Papas. That's called talent recognizing greater talent!

Janis is truly a jem. My gma gave me her album "Pearl" when I was in middle school. This was in the early/almost mid 90s. So it was a cd. My gma was a strong, country, ghetto woman. Lol. Straight 80s/90s Texas. She called everyone "Baby" & "Honey". Lol. When you think of old movies with the waitress in the diner serving food with a cigarette in her mouth calling em "Baby", that was her. Lol. She was obsessed with Janis. We are from Texas. Janis was from Port Arthur, TX. She gave me that album & I became obsessed. I had to learn everything about her. This was before FB, IG, TikTok, MySpace.... All that. We learned everything from books, people, or tv. So I was on a mission to learn about Janis. I read a ridiculous amount of books on her. She was an outcast. In school they nominated her "Ugliest man on campus". Smfh. So h0rrible. They made an amazing documentary on her & she was explaining how she was bullied in high school & college. She got famous & came back to her hometown. People tried to run up on her & she was nice. When they left she says "That was one of my schoolmates that made fun of me." 😔 Her face said it all. So sad. Such a beautiful soul. Inside & out. She was so talented. She di3d at 27. She became part of the 27 club. If you haven't heard of it, I suggest you look into it. Lol. It's like an urban legend I'm the music industry. I'm so glad you enjoyed her performance. She was truly one of a kind. A lot of people didn't like her back in the day cause they said she was "trying to be bl*ck". Ridiculous. But that was the times. The woman in the crowd looking at her in aww is Mama Cass from the Mamas & The Papas. An amazing music group from back in day. She is a legend herself. Lol. That shows you how amazing Janis was. She left people in awwww. I truly believe she was a special moment in music history. You will never find someone that sounds like Janis. RIP 🖤🖤🖤🖤

It's great to see at the end of the concert in Frankfurt, Germany, during Piece of my Heart, how men swarm around her and dance. I think that Janis Joplin was one of those rare performers, like Freddy Mercury, that get listeners to fall into a kind of Dionysian-like rapture already invented by the old Greeks a long time ago. Her voice, presence and performance was and remains inebriating for new generations. Let's not forget that she was surrounded by very competent musicians of all origins too.

She is the Queen of the Blues, still to this day!

Incredible performance. Just like ALL of her performances.

I saw her live back in the day. She put on perhaps the best show I've ever seen. As good as this is, there is another live version on an album by her first group, Big Brother and the Holding Company called Cheap Thrills that is even better. There's no video of it that I'm aware of but it's definitely worth your time to give it a listen. There's several videos on RU-vid of her. A couple of the best are from the Dick Cavett show. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. There has never been another like her.

Your expression during the vid is a solid example of what Joplin could do! A silk chainsaw of a voice and raw to the end :). Thanks!

Loved your reaction for Janis. I want to recommend "Summertime"

I've loved her since I was 16. Cheap Thrills, Kozmic Blues and Pearl. Her version of "Summertime" on the the live album his wonderful. That women on the screen was Mama Cass from The Mama's and The Papa's sadly also deceased

What I love is She was really putting on a performance, she’s just get out there and pour out her soul…. There was nothing out on about it. She was raw.

Seeing young ones fall in love with the music we grew up with is almost like hearing it for the first time all over again! You have so much amazing music to discover. Blues rock is my fave genre of music. She channelled the blues.

OMG! We were so painfully young. I saw her & Big Brother at Fillmore West. Outstanding.

What a ♥ JANIS JOPLIN HAD...IN MY ERA!!! That that THAT VOICE!!!

Loved your reaction to this amazing performance. When you cut the video a little short at the end, you missed where she skipped off the stage- she knew she had just killed it in front of the most important audience she had performed for up to that point.

1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The documentary is great. At that point the LA groups ruled rock and blues. This was show that San Francisco rock came to be recognized. As others said, the woman watching is the late great Momma Cass. Janice's performance wasn't filmed because her manager didn't sign contract. She was so good they asked her to do it again and she is in her street clothes. Janice was a fun, sweet, woman. Back then she could be seen in Berkeley playing in front of the record store on Telegraph.

That woman watching her is Mama Cass Elliott in the audience - she's just mesmerized, & afterwards she says "W O W" - that's right you better believe it! These people never saw or heard ANYthing like this lady right here! BTW Cass Elliott was one of fthe best singers around that time, in the Mama's & the Papas 🌼 I just watched this version which brought me to tears & gosh I wish id been there.her Band BIG Brother & the Holding Company was so great.

I'm 73 and I had chills when I heard bad ass Janice- Hell ya!!!

It's all about the feel my friend, and Janis always gave 100% to all her performances. Check out the live version of "Maybe" and the audio version of "Piece of My Heart". Peace.

"That woman" there in the audience that says "wow" is Cass Elliott, singer of the Mamas and the Papas, a supergroup of that time, more folky, that also played on the Monterey Pop Festival. So she understood that that was really something outstanding.

You mentioned how the song started out sounding like a blues song. Janis Joplin's early influences were Bessie Smith, Odetta, Big Mama Thornton, Billie Holiday and Leadbelly. At different parts of this song and others there are moments where you can very easily hear how impactful those blues artists were on her ... that is if you are familiar with blues artists from well before Janis ever came along. - Oh --- and it's cool seeing "Mama" Cass Elliot, who was one of the festival producers/organizers, was so utterly impressed.

That woman who was on the screen looking on in amazement is Mama Cass Elliot from the group The Mama's and the Papa's... she was a great singer herself... Janis was a phenom who will never be equaled or reproduced.

When you get time, give Work Me Lord (Stockholm 1969). It's soul snatching!

Im 48, been listening to Miss Janis since I was in the womb. When she came to the scene, it was called rebirth of the blues. She was 28, just turned 28.

Wellcome to the Joplin train. I rocked to her music when I was in my teens and it's great to see your generation appreciating this outstanding talent.

Welcome to Janis Joplin....love you man-good rabbit hole....

That lady in the front row with her mouth hanging open (wearing a large butterfly ring on her hand) was none other than Mama Cass Elliot lead singer of The Mama's and the Pappa's! Fabulous!

Beautiful to see the reaction of a young man like yourself, to my all time favorite. I was 16 when she died and I adored her. Love her still at age 67. 💗

The first time I saw the Monterey Pop doc, I was like 16(?)… about 10 tears after it was filmed, and 5 years after she passed. It floored me and to this very day brings tears to my eyes..so much fucking soul.

Janis makes me cry... just hits you in the soul.. As someone mentioned below that's Mama Cass in the audience looking like WTF did i just see.. Cass was a badass singer herself.. This was the best performance of all of janis' songs i think

Dude, that woman watching her is Momma Cass. A powerhouse in her own right. She is just as blown away as the rest of the world by Janis. Glad your sharing this one.

That woman on the screen looking at her is Cass Elliott -- aka "Mama Cass" of The Mamas and The Papas, one of the biggest bands in the country at the time, and Mama Cass was considered one of the best singers. You've probably heard them, they sang "California Dreaming" among other big hits. This performance is what made Janis famous, and you can see why with that reaction from Cass.

Always love the camera catching the great Mama Cass Elliott out there, just as gobsmacked as everybody by what she just heard and saw. ❤

I used to work for a woman who grew up with Ms Joplin. She had an old black and white photo of the two of them as teenagers on her dresser. She always referred to her as, "our Janie" and teared up whenever she spoke of her. She would always end it ,shaking her head slowly, whispering, "it's a damn shame" and the tears would roll down her cheek. ❤️🏵️RIP KRIS & OUR JANIE.❤️🏵️

Wasn't that Momma Cass in the audience at the end? What a performance, sends chills up and down

The guitarist deserves plenty for that heartfelt filthy intro that set the scene... brilliant raw interactive talent the lot of em...Janis 😍

"That woman on the screen lookin' at her" is Mama Cass Elliot, a fair vocalist herself. I love Janis as much now as I did in 1969; listen to Cheap Thrills often.

That Woman on the screen you pointed out with the OMG look ... is Mama Cass Elliot the lead female singer of the Mama's and Papa", the #1 recording artists in radio circulation. And Cass's mind was blown!

Ball & Chain Monterey Pop Festival. Stellar Performance. One of my go to performances when longing for a frozen in time experience.

Love her & she sang some of Etta`s songs & always thanked those whose songs she sang

Big Mama Thornton wrote this song she does an awesome job on this song as well. Big Mama Thornton in Janis Joplin brought this song

Janis, Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison all left us when they were 27. That’s Mama Cass watching her … another legend. Baby Boomers had some of the best sounds ever!

Sweet Jesus indeed. Left us too soon and her voice lingers on, thank Heaven. Sweet lady and good with her group: generous performer. Saw her live at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. Thanks to a boyfriend with musical knowledge. Thanks, Roundy. The Shrine Auditorium: not an Arena.... Love to travel back with her voice.

This is ET , I'm in my 70s now, saw her in concert q969. It was incredible . This concert was. Pre woodstock & the greatest concert to date, check out all the groups who pwefor.ed. That women they keep flashing on is Mama Cass Elliot of Mama's & Papas , a star in her own right. Janis is pure true blues, no other women measure up to her. KEEP UP the good work !

"Summertime" is another great song along with a couple of my personal favs, "Kozmic Blues", "One Good Man" , "Move Over" and " Trust Me". She was a one and only. RIP Janis Joplin. We still listen

Love, love, love Janis Joplin!!!

Janis Joplin her greatness will go down forever as one of the best and will never be forgotten rip Janice

Wow you got Mama Cass in the audience!! Janis was the jewel of the 60's. This Monterey Pop.

The girl look at her from the audience is Mama Cass from the group 'The Mamas and the Papas'.

Cass Elliot, also called Mama Cass, of the Mamas & Papas, well, that is a face you should be able recognize in the future & know their music. This song, "Ball & Chain," recorded in 1968. She's a legend, of which there were/are many.

5:15 The woman on the screen with her mouth open is the great Cass Elliot of the group THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS. Another fantastic voice who died far too young.

Mama Cass & everybody's mind were blown away that day. This Monterey Pop Festival made news and took her to the stratosphere!

1969 I saw her in concert in San Diego.....wild time, she sang this song...classic

The lady looking at her in amazement, is the fabulouly talented Mama Cass from award-winning group the Mamas and the Poppas..

Nothing but music. No dancing, stage props, no costumes, etc. This is what a pure artist sounds like. Almost perfect. This is what music is missing today. Your music from the heart and her soul. This is why she will never die.

Omg “that woman on the screen right now” is Mama Cass. Gotta listen to her sing too!
