^ That's an interesting sequence of clips! I wouldn't 've believed you if you'd told me that JJ had covered a Moondog song but can't deny the evidence...
Good for her for choosing some off-center material, though I thought the live version shows some of the failings of her performances. The song is kind of dragged out with no fresh musical ideas and relies on JJ to fill the gap with some heart-felt but ultimately banal details. Yep, Me and Bobbie McGee, Piece of My Heart are prob my favourites too. @ MicShazam: I know you like female vocalists, but my guess is that JJ's voice will be a bit too harsh for you.

But she had a great band and a beyond great voice. I’m not trying to claim it has aged better than it really has but there’s a time and place element there. It was performed with swaying around and passing a joint in mind. I’m old enough to have seen the Grateful Dead. In the bootlegs it sounds like they’re just kind of kicking around waiting to lock into the next song but actually being there was awesome. The Dead had a huge repertoire of great tunes to create the magic but Janis had a mind blowingly powerful voice that I’m sure was ****ing spine chilling live.

I'm indifferent i guess. I know her hits and i like them but im not really interested in listening to her stuff at this point.

Her voice is incredible but the songwriting hasn't held up very well imo but it's still solid and for the time it's great. If she had lived longer I bet she would have come out with some pretty magical material. Gotta go with Good Janice Joplin.

^ Yes like Amy Winehouse she just seemed bewildered by her own success.
