She was arrested for using vulgar & indecent language during a gig in Tampa, FL in 1969. Her career only lasted 8 years & 3 albums. Rolling Stone listed her 46th as one of the greatest artists of all time in '04 & 28th in '08. Sadly, she is a member of the "27" club. Who is she?

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Was that Mama Cass in the audience? Whoa I think it was

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Thanks! I was just going to go and grab the link for this from YouTube & share it. Now I don't have to. When I heard Joplin do Ball and Chain on Cheap Thrills, I couldn't believe my teeny-bopper ears. Talk about radicalizing ... lol. Instant love.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Janis got a supernova kiss from the muse

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Incredible.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Thank you for posting this. I haven’t seen this in decades! What an artist. She was fantastic.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 I was there. That’s when Jimi Hendrix lit up his guitar!

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Superb. Love Mama Cass’ reaction. Janis’ reduces me to tears.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 That was the high point of Monterey. Always makes me shiver. Mama Cass’ expression says it all.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Soooo good. I never get tired of that one. Gotta love Mama Cass watching in awe.

@hb_surfer @softtail65 Kozmic Blues was the first album I bought with my own money. I used to come home from school every day, an angsty early teen, and sing my heart out with Janis.
