Free Music Notes for Live at Winterland '68

Free Music Review: The real deal; right up there with Monterey Pop 1967
Hit: 5 Stars

David Getz (Big Brother's drummer) says in the liner notes, "...it is also the best and most accurate recording I have ever heard of what Big Brother with Janis was really about as a band." That seems right

Cedell Davis, guitarist for the late Delta blues master Robert Nighthawk, once told me that if Robert didn't have most of the women in the audience crying in the first 15 minutes then he didn't have it that night. Well, it doesn't seem that people cry in response to Janis, maybe more like Mama Cass shaking her head "wow" at Ball and Chain, but nonetheless Janis feels like a true heart disciple of that same tradition...and her voice just seems to be getting clearer and better as the years go by:

I tried to love you in my own way, I think that you know I did...

Once in a green time, a flower, oh, fell in love with the sun. Their passion lasted for an hour and then she wilted from her loved one.

And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is. You're wondering if there is another me, now how can there be?

(from "Flower in the Sun")
