Janis Joplin concert reviews and tour history

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend this concert and have seats in the first few rows. Janis was raw, powerful, and put her entire being into each song. I remember her having a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand and exhorting people to get up out of our seats A most memorable concert.

I attended this concert. That date was Homecoming at University of Tennessee. The concert was incredible. No One at the concert sat down in their seat during the entire concert
This was quite a different voice and style during those year. The place was electric. I wore a navy blue long sleeve dress (very short) and baby doll navy flat shoes. Everyone dressed up for the ballgame and the concert
An awesome memory

I was 13 yrs old. My dear (7 yrs older) brother took me with him to see Janis.
Gordon Lightfoot opened and when he finished the skies opened up and the rain fell.
When it died down (weather in New England, you don't like it- wait fifteen minutes) and Janis and her band took the stage. "Who's this guys agent? God? He leaves the stage and *whoosh* the rain!!???
The Kosmic Blues Band got going and Janis was, well, Janis. It was my first ever concert and I was forever changed.
While I know Taylor Swift and Smiley Virus weren't trying to be Janis, they couldn't hold the box that held the candles that that some tried to hold to/for Janis...
I see young women on AGT or BGT or whatever the hot show is try to cover a Janis Joplin song and think "Girl, you just don't know..."
They are each sweet, sincere young artists and have no idea who or what Janis was.

It poured. I got right in the front!!!
She was great!! If I hadn’t been in front. Wouldn’t have liked it as much
