Clips of the great Janis Joplin ;D
40 YEARS AGO, the rock world lost one of its greatest voices. To coincide with our exclusive feature in this month's MOJO magazine, we look back on the life and music of Janis Joplin with a video playlist of her finest on screen moments. Time to don your sequins and feathers...
1. Ball'n'Chain (Live At Monterey Pop, 1967)
The Monterey Pop Festival was responsible for altering the trajectory of a number of artists. Joplin had already been crowned a local hero, but this is the moment she became a superstar. Here's an equally powerful whiskey'n'cigs-soaked version of the same song from two years later.

4. Try A Little Bit Harder (The dick Cavett Show, 1969)
The dick Cavett Show became a home-from-home for some of the '60s biggest stars. But what's dick's Easy-On Speed Starch crack about?
6. Move Over (The dick Cavett Show, 1970)
The best track off her best album, as performed by JJ & The Full Tilt Boogie Band on Cavett's prime time chat show. Imagine keeping that up for a whole gig.
7. My Baby (The dick Cavett Show, 1970)
Top quality clip of Janis and the FTBB putting their stamp on another edition of the dick Cavett show. Within a couple of months, Joplin would be found dead at the Landmark Motor Hotel. Her psychedelicised Porsche was left parked outside.
"
And then, of course, there were the interviews...
Big Brother Interview (1968)
Janis & Big Brother on the current state of rock music and the freedom of the San Francisco scene. PLUS! Janis jams!
Janis Interview 1 (The dick Cavett Show, 1
Janis Interview 2 (The dick Cavett Show, 1970)
Janis on: going to Rio, tearing a muscle, songwriting ("I just make 'em up"), her High School reunion and just not being able to stop.
Janis Interview 3 (The dick Cavett Show, 1970)
Janis on: the meaning of Full Tilt Boogie, rioting at rock concerts, the Love Limousine car service and her problems with the press.
Just alittle of Janis loved her singing and performance.
