Summary:
"A memoir from
Janis
Joplin
's
road
manager. In 1967, as the new sound of rock and roll was taking over popular music, John Byrne Cooke was at the center of it all. As a member of D.A. Pennebaker's film crew, he witnessed the astonishing breakout performances of
Janis
Joplin
and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival that June. Less than six months later, he was on a plane to San Francisco, taking a job as
road
manager for
Janis
and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company. The book describes the rotating cast of musicians and personnel as the woman called Pearl took the world by storm. The difficult decision
Janis
made to leave Big Brother and form a new band, the Kozmic Blues Band, which toured Europe in the spring of 1969 and performed at Woodstock in August. Later that year
Janis
and Full Tilt Boogie took their famous Festival Express train trip across Canada.
Janis
, from her legendary rise to her tragic death at the age of 27 on October 4, 1970. Cooke tells the whole incredible story as only someone who lived it could."--Publisher.
