Excellent collage - I had a chance to photograph her Porsche at the NC Museum of Art several years ago. And yes, much too soon…

I saw her once at I think it was Fillmore West I also had a hand bill it took from a telephone pole near Golden Gate Park. It was lost in one of our moves
I thought that she wanted a Mercedes-Benz, Jack!

And a lot of other things too. I probably should have used this one for the tribute

Who are Janis and Jimi? I listened to Joan Baez, and really liked her voice - but not her politics. Ian and Sylvia (and many others) were very good, also.

first time I have heard this lady...............not at all impressed. (sorry)
Thanks for bringing back a memory of a powerful singer. At the time, there was no one better.
I used to go to the Monterey Jazz festival and saw Janis there, in I believe, 1967. She made an appearance with Big Brother and the Holding Company but she was so powerful I don't remember anything about them. The place was just moving to her singing. I really enjoyed how powerfully she sang. I saw her on Saturday and I heard she also performed on Sunday. I had to drive myself and my girl, at the time, back to Manhattan Beach in So. CA.
She knocked the socks off of the audience.
I keep remembering the event as the Monterey Jazz festival but Wikipedia keeps referring to it as the Monterey pop festival?? Confusing to me as maybe my memory isn't the greatest anymore!
Anyway, everybody I spoke to, was talking about how she livened up the normal jazz offerings.

Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Before I get battered for saying how great I thought they were, check with our friend Google to find out about them.
I love her rendition of "Bobbi McGee"

Thanks for the info, but I'm not interested at all.
