She was interacting with the audience in almost a—well, it wasn’t almost, it was, it was a sexual banter back and forth. They were calling up to her, they wanted her, and she wanted them.” -Kevin McElroy, Harvard Stadium concert attendee
On this day in 1968, Big Brother & The Holding Company released their second album, CHEAP THRILLS. On the very same day two years later, Janis played her last show at Boston’s Harvard Stadium.

Who’s ordered their Janis Joplin-inspired sunglasses?!
Available now in the official Janis store, these shades will instantly channel flower child Woodstock vibes year round.
Each pair comes with a special carrying pouch and a cleaning cloth that features original artwork by Janis ☮.
Today we remember the great @JerryGarcia, iconic Grateful Dead singer & guitarist.
Janis and Jerry shared a mutual adoration for each other. Following the Grateful Dead’s lead, Big Brother & The Holding Company moved to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco to live communally.
Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin shared many stages together, including iconic Bill Graham venues and the legendary Festival Express in Canada.
Jerry and Janis are pictured here in Haight-Ashbury, SF, 1967.

“Back in Port Arthur, I’d heard some Leadbelly records, and, well, if the blues syndrome is true, I guess it’s true about me. So I began listening to blues and folk music. I bought Bessie Smith and Odetta records...” -Janis Joplin
50 years ago on this day, Janis Joplin, along with Juanita Green, paid for a proper gravestone for one of Janis’ biggest musical inspirations and idols, Bessie Smith.
The headstone, located in Philadelphia, reads: “The Greatest Blues Singer in the World Will Never Stop Singing — Bessie Smith 1895‐1937.”
