Janis Joplin & the Kozmic Blues Band, Amsterdam 1969
Amsterdam, Netherlands, April 1st 1969 VPRO radio

This concert documents the second of Janis Joplin’s three working groups. The Kozmic Blues Band were modelled on Otis Redding’s Stax-Volt R&B sound with arrangements that were designed to showcase her magnificent voice. Her greatest numbers, Summertime, Try (Just A Little Bit Harder), Ball and Chain, Piece of My Heart are all present and the performances clearly demonstrate that like her heroines Bessie Smith and Mahalia Jackson, Joplin had a very rare gift.
