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.

Thanks for commenting. It was always the Jazz Festival when I lived in Santa Cruz County. I saw Joan Biaz there for the first time. Way too many good performers to recount
