 Rating: - My Soul Sister No1The first sight I ever had of Janis Joplin was in 1977 when I was 11 years old, and with my pocket money one day I bought a book, 'The Illustrated Rock Almanac'. The photos were tiny, but I marvelled at a woman who looked to be wailing like a wild animal - hair frizzy and flying, mouth open wide enough to swallow the rest of the 8 X 10 book!

If your a Janis fan, you need this movie in your collection.Very well made doco., great concert footage, and insite with the interview clips. Janis will live forever, Try, Ball and Chain, Bobby McGee, Mercedes Benz, all jump off the screen and slap you across the face, raw, true power, and a larger than life legend. Rating: - Excellent documentary shows the heart, and spirit of JanisThis 1974 documentary contains some of Janis Joplin's best performances as well as some great spontaneous interviews. It has her incredible performance of Ball and Chain at Monterey ('67), some Cheap Thrills studio sessions ('68), Woodstock ('69), and Calgary ('70). She blows away the audience on Dick Cavett with Move Over and breaks down during the High School reunion interviews. Where she came from in Port Arthur, TX is such a contrast to who she was. And who she was was the incarnation of the ... Read More |
