    NOTES :

    First of all, many thanks to Kadjia for originally sending me this great recording of the famous "Reunion Show" of Janis and Big Brother.

    This is a VG+ audience recording. On many places, the right channel was badly damaged, so I fixed it. Now you can tell there's a slight change in the sound when the fixing begins but that's all. I also had to remove a lot of gaps and glitches from Disc 2. Other than these fixes, the original recording has been left untouched.

    The last two songs are from another audience source. Unfortunately, it's of lesser quality, VG at best.

    Anyway, this is a really great show and the sound quality is really enjoyable so I'd recommend any music lover to get it.

  2. Uniqueness of her voice and hysterical grandiosity of her performance is captured best in a piece about her in Vogue magazine in May 1968 “Janis assaults a song with her eyes, her hips; and her hair. She defies key. shrieking over one line, sputtering over the next, and clutching the knees of a final stanza, begging it not to leave. When it does leave anyway, she stands like an assertive young tree, smiling breathlessly at the audience, which has just exploded. Janis Joplin can sing the chic off any listener.”
