Janis Joplin


Anyone know the name of the song she's singing in the early scene at The Fairmont Hotel?...sounds something like 'Flashback'.

Someone else suggested 'Down On Me' but that's not it.

reply

It's "Roadblock" from Big Brother and the Holding Company's first album, before they were picked up by Columbia.

Thanks...I've been wondering for years.

Yes, it was "Roadblock" but it wasn't on their first album. It was just a throwaway filler song that ended up on later compilation albums....too bad they didn't do "Piece of My Heart". Also afterwards in the hotel scene you can hear Big Brother in the background continuing with "Down on Me".

Play the game existence 'til the end...of the beginning...

This part amazed me. Here they have JANIS JOPLIN and her singing is just a throwaway background sound!

Only a Gibson SG could be that out of tune that fast.
