From the October 1 New York Times

IN the late summer of 1968, Big Brother and the Holding Companyhad nearly finished recording "Cheap Thrills" when Janis Joplin, the band’s singer, slipped the drummer Dave Getz a set of lyrics she’d handwritten to accompany a piano riff he had been practicing. The song, "Can’t Be the Only One," with words by Joplin and music by Mr. Getz, was something of a parting gift. Within days, Joplin gathered her band mates in a room at the Chelsea Hotel and announced that she was going solo.

The details of Janis Joplin’s story are now legend: how the bluesy Texas girl unleashed her fury on the San Francisco hippie scene with Big Brother & The Holding Company, bowled over Columbia’s Clive Davis at 1967’s Monterey Pop Festival, and became the most galvanizing woman in rock. Kris Kristofferson’s “Me And Bobby McGee” wasn’t a typical Joplin song, but her poignant performance, conveying all the battered weariness she must have felt, was all the more gripping for its posthumous success.

40 years ago, at what Rolling Stone called "the most famous event in rock history", the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair was held in Bethel, New York. Of the 32 acts that performed during the festival, five of them, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Johnny Winter, Santana, and Sly & the Family Stone, had just recorded albums for Sony Music labels. For the first time today, the Woodstock Experience series combines those albums along with the music from their festival performance in one wonderful package.

This summer celebrates the 40th Anniversary or what Rolling Stone called "the most famous event in rock history", of the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair. In the summer of 1969, 500,000 people and 32 musical performances came together in Bethel, New York, for an event that sufused our culture, politically and socially, as much as musically.
