Her legendary performance at Woodstock came just weeks before the release of I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama, and both pointed to the new, exciting direction Joplin's music would take. The emotionally captivating performances, both live and in the studio, defined a moment and a legacy. | | | Product Details: | | | Audio CD Release Date:

 Do You Own CHEAP THRILLS or LIVE AT WINTERLAND '68?Nov 30, 2009
The albums "Cheap Thrills" AND "Live at Winterland '68" are Janis, performing with a band that was her performing equal, Big Brother and the Holding Company. Music Fans were stunned when she left Big Brother to join a Stax-Volt back-up band. This period was the absolute Nadir of her career. If you want to hear that, this is an excellent representation. You have been warned. If you love "Cheap Thrills", this music will make you cringe. If you have never listened to "Cheap Thrills",or "Live at Winterland" you've got to start there!
 Jake & Elwood back-up Janis at Woodstock..........Sep 04, 2009
........well, with my sarcastic tongue-in-cheek, i couldn't resist this title after reading some of the other comments...before i heard the double CD. Janis showed up sans Big Brother and with a new back-up sound. Some have commented that she may've been tryin' to create a sound more like The Family Stone....i don't know....but those that think that they may not appreciate the new sound enough to get this CD....even tho they love Janis and Big Brother....here's my advice, if you like the 'I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again, Mama' CD and Janis' earlier stuff....you should love the Woodstock CD........my first impression of her 'new' sound was that the Blues Brothers band must've been backing her (sarcasm).....same 60s blues band sound....i even think Jake might've been as good on the vocals...please remember that the first Blues Brothers album was a hot seller and i'm not dogging Janis' new band...its just different....after my initial listen, i was unsure about how good i thought it was........on my second playing, i loved it.........some excellent...and i mean excellent... cuts and the least of the cuts are good......its a good slice of Janis in the soup of time........yeah, her voice failed her a tiny bit on one of her serious 'get down' moments.....but overall..it was real and in the moment of history.......and it is extraordinary
Memories of Woodstock from someone who was not thereSep 02, 2009
Though at the time, Woodstock took a back seat to earning money to pay off my college loans, I have enjoyed the music produced there. This set remastered CDs of Janis Joplin did not disappoint. Turn it up loud and let her unique voice wash over you.

this is going to be an interesting one...Aug 08, 2009
first of all, this is a GREAT show and if you are a janis fan, it's a must. however, i have one HUGE disappointment w/ it that i'll explain in a moment. so, let's start off w/, that by all accounts, this show is reputedly her worst ever. well, many years ago, through amazon, i got an "import" of this show. and it sounded HORRIBLE. i didn't know if it was because the show was that bad or that the sound quality made it so bad. so, i get this new disc, and w/in about 2 seconds i was VERY relieved to hear how WONDERFUL it sounds and that the show is just TERRIFIC, even if it was her worst show. yes, her voice is strained, yes the inbetween song talking is drugged rambling, but is't a GREAT show.
now, for the HUGE disappointment, which most of you will probably not appreciate. so, on the "import" verson, the peak of the show, and i mean THE PEAK, is "I can't turn you loose." it's an AMAZING piece of funk that would give me goose bumps EVERYTIME i heard it. so, I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited to get this new disc, if only for this one song. so, i'm listening to it, grooving away, and all of a sudden, IT ENDS! on the "import," it's nearly TEN MINUTES of grooving, w/ her and snookey going back and forth w/ each other, w/ the highlite being JANIS' part...WHY ON EARTH, ON A JANIS JOPLIN DISC, WOULD THEY TAKE OUT JANIS' PART??? well, i came CRASHING down and hold a resentment against the disc!!! oh well, at least i still have the "import." so, i don't know how, but if you guys can somehow come across the full length version, you'll know what i mean...
