Love, Janis
herself
Ihre Karriere dauerte nur vier Jahre, und trotzdem wurde Janis Joplin zum ersten weiblichen Superstar der Rockmusik. Ihr früher Tod trug das Übrige zur Legendenbildung bei. Die Dokumentation zeigt den kurzen Lebensweg eines texanischen Provinzgirls, das über Nacht zur Hippie-Ikone und zum Star der Musikszene von San Francisco wird, ebenso berühmt wie Jimmy Hendrix und, was den Umgang mit Drogen und Alkohol betrifft, ebenso berüchtigt.
Janis Joplin with Big Brother: Ball and Chain
self
The performances featured on this DVD were filmed at the studios of KQED TV in April 1967, just weeks before Big Brother & The Holding Company shot to international fame following their blinding set at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 (which featured Joplin's show-stopping performance of 'Ball And Chain', a highlight also of D.A. Pennebaker's famous movie documenting the festival). For many fans this was the period when Janis Joplin was at her best, before the pressure of fame and the ravages of drugs took over. This is the first DVD to release these KQED TV tracks. The songs are interspersed with short interviews with Janis and other band members, all in excellent sound and picture quality for the era. In addition to 'Ball And Chain', which was to appear on the group's second album in the following year, the set features two of the group's hit singles, 'Down On Me' and 'Coo Coo'. This package also includes a bonus audio CD of the tracks.

Jimi Plays Monterey
Self (archive footage)
It's no exaggeration to say this might be the most intense and groundbreaking 45-minute performance in the history of rock. Jimi Hendrix's debut American set at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival is generally considered one of the most radical and legendary live shows ever. Virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, even though he was already an established entity in the UK, Hendrix and his two-piece Experience explode on stage, ripping through blues classics "Rock Me Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," interpreting and electrifying Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," debuting songs from his yet-to-be-released first album and closing with the now historic sacrificing/burning of his guitar during an unhinged version of "Wild Thing" that even its writer Chip Taylor would never have imagined. Hendrix uses feedback and distortion to enhance the songs in whisper-to-scream intensity, blazing territory that had not been previously explored with as much soul-frazzled power.

Woodstock - 3 Dias de Paz, Amor e Música
Self
Woodstock ou Festival de Woodstock foi um festival de música realizado entre os dias 15 e 18 de agosto de 1969 na fazenda de gado leiteiro de 600 acres de Max Yasgur, 70 quilômetros a sudoeste da cidade de Woodstock. Foi anunciado como "Uma Exposição Aquariana: 3 Dias de Paz & Música". O festival deveria ocorrer originalmente na pequena cidade de Wallkill, mas os moradores locais não aceitaram, o que levou o evento para a pequena Bethel, a uma hora e meia de distância. O festival exemplificou a era da contracultura do final da década de 1960 e começo de 1970. 32 dos mais conhecidos músicos da época se apresentaram durante um fim de semana, por vezes chuvoso, para 400 mil espectadores. Evento único e lendário, reconhecido como um dos maiores momentos na história da música popular. Tudo foi filmado para um documentário lançado em 1970, Woodstock, com trilha sonora dos melhores momentos, e com a canção Woodstock, de Joni Mitchell.
