Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company at The Northern California Folk Rock Festival, San Jose, CA 1968, by Michael Zagaris, via bbc
*audibly gasps* One I haven’t seen!! Plus new information, sweet. …YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS GIVES ALL NEW CONTEXT TO THOSE GORGEOUS SHOTS OF HER (some of my absolute FAVES) AND I THINK THEY WERE FROM 1968…but I thought the venue was different for those. But what she’s wearing, right down to the earrings, looks like them (my edits):
I mean, the trees in the background, sort of sparse like that, even? Looks like it to me. Thanks, Tim, for posting this! ♥
Those are gorgeous edits! How did I miss those when you first posted them??? Anyway, I think you’re right, that they’re all from the same show. And not just the clothes, jewelry, and trees, but her general demeanor. I don’t mean to be glib when I tag “#happy janis”… or god forbid, suggest that any woman needs to smile more (!!!)…but there are times when words like “luminous” and “radiant” really don’t do Janis justice. Those words tend to be used in beauty/ fashion contexts, and this is beyond that. (We ain’t talking about her soap or her conditioner.) Whatever you want to call it, though, it’s definitely happening in all three shots.
Now we just need to track down some more from this show. :-)
