Description
An icon of the 60s counterculture scene, Janis Joplin was only just getting started when she entered the studio in the latter half of 1970, to record what would be issued as her second solo album, Pearl. Tragically, she would not live to see its release, but in her short recording career, Joplin created a lifetime's worth of emotion-drenched music on which her reputation still rests. Recorded live at Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt, Germany, on 12 April 1969, and originally broadcast on German TV, the performance that makes up much of much of The Frankfurt 1969 Broadcast &The American Broadcasts 1969/1970 offers a stunning reminder of Joplin's versatility, as she ranges from the jazz classic Summertime to Erma Franklin's soul landmark Piece Of My Heart, claiming both for her own. On home turf, on the Ed Sullivan and Dick Cavett shows, Joplin delivers songs such as Raise Your Hand and Get It While You Can with all the conviction of a preacher at a tent revival. Get it while you can, indeed.
