Janis at the Chicago Auditorium around 1970.
My sister was a huge fan (and had pipes freakishly similar to Ms. Joplin).
She and my Mother presented me with a spankin' new Cabretta leather coat (quite the Greaser in those days) so I'd be presentable.
Moms was dolled up like a hippie but had her fingers in her ears the entire show (how embarassing)!
J.J. was in good form (artistically) but sounded depressed and kind of whacked out when she spoke to the audience.
