JANIS JOPLIN Festival Express: Toronto, June 28, 1970

Festival Express: Toronto, June 28, 1970 (1970)
Outstanding Full Tilt Live Show

Excellent live Joplin show, from the opening night of the Festival Express – the 1970 train ride tour through Canada that included Janis, The Band, Grateful Dead, Delaney & Bonnie and many others (it’s routinely on the Documentary channel and the DVD is a hoot). This show, from June 28th in Toronto, was taped with the newly christened Full Tilt Boogie Band, just 4 months before her death. The sound is outstanding and provides a wonderfully positive snapshot of Joplin, who’s chatty and obviously having a great time, nailing all her highlights & hits in an aggressive 80 minute review that doesn’t let up. The band is hornless and mostly Canadian and the recording is smoothly mastered, sounding like some of those old Fillmore recordings… more sterile than dynamic, but clean and clear (if a little tinny), nonetheless. I’ve always liked Joplin, as she always gave it her all, even on those rare nights when she wasn’t cutting it. She sounds great here, and the band has a raw delivery that still manages to echo Big Brother’s, while stepping up the consistency and nuance. “Piece Of My Heart” is rushed, but rocks, while the addition of keyboardist Ken Pearson gives the music an earthy, Woodstock-ian feel. I pondered about how amazing it was that this concert was never released, only to learn from one of our readers that this show was issued as a bonus disc to the Legacy Edition of Janis’ Pearl. Thanks Phil.
