Live At Winterland 68' Bf

Very good sound quality

Exellent

I was a young teen in 1968. Even back then, Janis Joplin was an acquired taste, so imagine my surprise when I learned that she could send my old-fashioned dad into paroxyms of ecstasy! I once actually saw him rise out of his chair and sway back and forth in front of the TV as a feathered and boa-ed Joplin poured her heart out for a live audience. He was mesmerized, thrilled, smiling like a child. It was a moment I'll never forget, cuz my father normally listened to Perry Como, Peggy Lee and Bert Kaempfert on the "Music Of Your Life" station.That's the sort of magic effect Joplin's rare talent had on listeners. She always sang full throttle, gave her audiences everything within her, and we responded in kind. This LIVE AT WINTERLAND '68 album is a fine example of Janis in top form, performing with a band that paled by comparison to her brilliance. Big Brother & the Holding Co. do their best, though. The miking and mix are excellent throughout-- recordings sound very clear. Includes 24 pages of liner notes."One of a kind" is an overused phrase, yet it's a certainty that there will NEVER be another Janis Joplin. We were blessed to have her, if only for a moment.2 LP set, TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 75:53

you owe it to yourself to pick this up ! it's one of those digitally cut LPs that certainly passes the smell test ..... you can crank it, and it sounds great ! there's plenty of bottom end, and texture to the entire performance. my LPs were also flat, centered, and silent. completely happy this is now part of my collection. it also comes with a 20 page booklet ! get it while you can folks !!! mixed and mastered by vic anesini

Great vinyl Janis Joplin at her best
