With Big Brother and the Holding Company, Janis Joplin performed the song at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 to an enthusiastic audience and critical reception. The first performance on June 17th was not filmed, so the band was persuaded to perform the song again on the next day. This shorter version (without James Gurley’s extended guitar solo) was released in the 1968 film Monterey Pop, while the longer June 17th version was released in 1995 on the Joplin compilation “18 Essential Songs”.
