The Best Of Janis Joplin

Janis from the Dick Cavett Show - Featuring her last two bands - The Kozmic Blues Band, & The Full Tilt Boogie Band !!!!!!!!!
This is some outstanding live footage of Janis performing with her last two bands, after she had left the Big Brother & the Holding Company Band.
This dvd includes interviews with Dick Cavett, and live performances. These are some of the last filmed Janis Joplin performances, before her untimely, early death.

This dvd continues the life of Janis, after she left the Big Brother & The Holding Company. So, this dvd takes up from where the dvd "Big Brother & the Holding Company with Janis" ends. Both are great dvd's.

The performances in this dvd are as follows:

The Kozmic Blues Band: (This band included trumpets & a saxaphone player).
"To Love Somebody"
"Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)"

The Full Tilt Boogie Band: (This is a more traditional blues-rock band without horns):
"Move Over"
"Get It While You Can"
"Half Moon"
"My Baby"

The "Full Tilt Boogie Band" is the band that Janis recorded her big hit...

To live intensely is to live twice!
On the contrary of many vocalists who actually span the billboard and try to be faithful to certain rules of the changelling market, Janis Joplin emerged from the low depths of her not so beloved Texas to become the most legendary rock female singer the world still remembers, despite of the fact four decades had elapsed.

Her irreverent attitude on the stage, as well as her unavoidable compromise of thinking and acting in the same direction made of her a true icon for that generation so tired of being deceived and betrayed.

Janis Joplin's inextinguishable energy, untamed display of unlimited passion for she was doing were perhaps the key clues to understand why she gave herself in every concert the one thousand percent.

This DVD captures her essence as human being with her untiring devotion for being listened through the heartrending lyrics that certainly revealed the supreme necessity of being loved, appreciated and respected as human being...

A LOOK AT JANIS
This is a very interesting look at Janis in that it compiles a set of
performances taken from the DICK CAVETT show. Also, it has some
interview material (albeit, short) that may not have been seen before
unless you were lucky enough to see it the first time around. The fact
that it is of foreign origin really does not make any difference.Very worthwhile for the collector.
