Janis Joplin: 1969-04-01 Amsterdam, The Netherlans (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

This is another show I wanted to upload last week but due to a busy day was unable to get everything ready to upload.  It would have been this show's 46th anniversary at the time had I been able to upload it when I had planned to in April 1st.  However, there are a few confusing dates for this show too.  But this one, April 1st, seems to be the most consistently accepted and thought to be correct date.

This is a superb sounding soundboard of Janis Joplin and The Kozmic Blues Band performing in The Netherlands in April of 1969.

The sound and mix is superb and so is Janis' voice.  The only thing I really don't lack about this era of Joplin's music is the horns added to her band after leaving Big Brother and The Holding Company.  That and the lack of real guitar solos.  But Joplin still carries the show perfectly and it really does sound nice.

If you like Janis Joplin's voice and music, then you will like this soundboard of this show too.

I'm not going to really say much more since I am trying to get this show uploaded now other than (a) it contains superb stereo separation and (b) "Summertime" is one of the best versions I've heard her sing live.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Janis Joplin & The Kozmic Blues Band: 1969-08-30 Lewisville, TX (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

Forty-five years ago today, Janis Joplin was jamming on the stage of the Texas International Pop Festival in the Dallas, Texas area.  And this is an excellent-to-superb recording of that historic day so long ago, just two weeks after Woodstock.

Even though I like the Big Bother and The Holding Company era of Janis' music better, she still sounds superb here too even competing with the horns at times.  This is a very interesting and likable, however pretty short, concert she put on.

I'm not changing anything in this upload.  I'm not embedding any metadata file names into the songs or doing anything other than confirming its lossless claim and adding a text file of my own to show the results.  The rest was a group project according to the source but I see no mention of any remastering done in the lineage or what exactly was done in the group project?  Plus, the artwork is from the Oh Boy label.  So who really knows?  But it sounds lovely and is a show you won't regret getting if you don't have it.

I hope you enjoy the concert...

Janis Joplin & The Full Tilt Boogie Band: 1970--07-08 Honolulu, HI (FLAC_Raw SB_Rare Restored LP's_1 CD)

Here's a classic, very rare recording from an artist out of Beaumont, Texas that turned the 1960's rock scene on its head when she began singing.  Through years of various music changes, both in band members, bands, and the types of music she played, Janis Joplin had the voice that set her apart from all other female artists.  And it was an integral part of the whole San Francisco 1960's - 1970's music scene that has never been duplicated no matter how hard people have tried.

This show, three months before Janis' death, was 44 years ago tonight too!

This recording I'm sharing today was shared around Christmas 2013 as a "mega rare restored first edition vinyl transfer".  I'm not too sure what the story is on this show itself?  But one thing is for sure and that is this show was just three months before Janis' death on October 4, 1970.  So this is one of her last shows any way you look at it.

I'm not able to pull up my source and information as to where I got this show right now, but whether "Doinker" was the person who shared this in December of last year or just originally had shared it in past times, I'm not sure at the moment.  But he did have something to do with this surfacing.  "Doinker" is a well respected name when it comes to reliable information and quality materials and workmanship too.  So the real thanks goes to him for what he's done so we can hear this show today.

Janis sounds a little "in the mood" as she calls it and enjoying herself on this night.  In fact, she sounds great as she sings the songs but she sounds a little stoned or inebriated when talking in between songs :-)  The music isn't Big Brother and the Holding Company of course.  But it is an excellent show and not one where Janis' voice is having to compete with horns being played throughout the songs!

I'm uploading both the unaltered (other than named tracks and embedded metadata) version and the better sounding amplified version separately7.  They will have separate links.  That way if you just want one or the other copy, or both copies too, you can get what you want.  The last two links are for downloading the whole 521 MB upload of both copies if you want them both.

I never did upload the show two days ago as I'd planned.  And since it just passed midnight becoming July 10th a few minutes ago, the 44 years ago today statement doesn't quiet apply.  So ignore it because I'm uploading it now or in another day or two if I don't hurry :-)

I hope you enjoy the concert...
