Janis Joplin w. Big Brother and the Holding Company
"Combination of the Two" performed live at Montery closes out this clip from "Nine Hundred Nights." It was not included in the Pennebaker concert film "Monterey Pop." Instead, a lingering powerful closeup of Janis singing "Ball and Chain" was used to represent Big Brother and the Holding Company's performance at this landmark 1967 festival. Also here, surviving band members Sam Andrews, David Getz and Peter Albin discuss the good and the bad of their experiences at Monterey. The documentary this clip is taken from, "Nine Hundred Nights," also features interviews with James Gurley, Janis Joplin, Nick Gravenites, Lenny Kaye and Ellen Willis, with narration by Rip Torn. Produced by Multiprises. Directed by Michael Burlingame of the Control Group.

When I was very young, my brother brought home this album called "Cheap Thrills." What was this crazy shit, just look at the cover R. Crumb. Yeah, I love Janis, and they didn't really last that long, but you know, I think she sounded best in that band. Hell, Gurley and Andrews are the most underrated guitar duo ever! I listen to that stuff today and still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Janis NEVER did parties. Anyone that knew her heard the same story from Janis' lips to their ears..."DON'T GO TO THE PARTIES." She was a loner. Janis was big but Janis didn't want to be Janis. She preferred Elvis.

What? Janis loved parties. That's where she got hopped up and loaded with junk. There are loads of pictures of her at parties. She was never straight. Always down on smack and booze.

Did YOU ever seen Janis Joplin drunk? She was in Woodstock for just acouple of hours, did her song and a song with Bobby Darin and left. Woodstock was not her scene nor Bobbys. She always left, came and left. However, reporters sale newspapers not truths right?

Her drug habit was to sooth the pain. She had no friends in a small ytexas town and couldn't wait to get out. Her heart was drop kicked across a thousand blazing deserts by male and female lovers. With no one to count on, booze and dope were ehr only friends. She wasn't sucessful because she had a drug habit. She had a drug habit because she was sucessful. Sometimes it's the only way forward. Been there done that so I know. As Americans it is our fate.
