The Janis Joplin Thread

Yes. MSG, I really do remember seeing Zep for the first time in August of 1970. Very Hippe feel to it all. The boys had just spent time communing together recording LZ III. It was a very Groovy Concert ! Mt first time getting high, albeit, second hand smoke.... a LOT of second hand smoke...

That was special time. I remember seeing this chick, down in the floor seating, about 20 rows back....she stood out becuase she had a bid head of blonde hair, and she stood --on the seat of her chair-- rocking and moving and grooving through most of whole concert. I know that the boys must gotten energy for her as well :hippy:

Sad to say, I never got to see Janis in person. But there's always the Monterey Pop Festival footage. B):D

Great story Rover! :hippy:

I never saw Janis live either. She died about a year before I started attending concerts.

Quite rare....thanx for that! :)

You're welcome! :)

And thanks for the picture, I haven seen it before.

No problem, lzfan715. Thank you for the Newsweek scans! The pic I posted might have come from that issue of Newsweek. I don't know, though. :)

I know but no one has posted in it for awhile.

It was usually posted in.

I'm not sure how new you are to message boards or if you're new to them at all but once fans of a certain artist have their say there may not be much more they have to offer. It's not like there's only one post and no one replied at all. Every thread, even ones about Janis Joplin, eventually run their course.
