Big Brother and the Holding Company


"Live at Winterland '68" is a live album by Janis Joplin and her band Big Brother and the Holding Company, recorded at the Winterland Ballroom on April 12 and 13, 1968. The album features live renditions of songs from their studio albums, showcasing lengthier performances like the over 7-minute version of "Light Is Faster Than Sound." The recordings capture the band's return to San Francisco after a successful East Coast tour with notable blues musicians B.B. King and Albert King, among others.
