4.0 out of 5 stars A miraculous picture-book!, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Janis Joplin: A Performance Diary 1966-1970 (Hardcover)
This book has to lie on the shelf of all Janis fans, who are interested both in her music and personality - although the texts are not really informative, so you won`t learn much about the details of her life. But this book is not intended to be a biography~it`s more a TRIBUTE. And she deserved it. A beautiful collection of pictures and letters ~some in her own handwriting~ a cronological list of her performances and the summary of the main steps in her carreer. A VERY NICE piece of HIGH LEVEL!

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Photos, Annoying Format, March 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Janis Joplin: A Performance Diary 1966-1970 (Hardcover)
Most Joplin fans will want this book for the many marvelous,unpublished photos. The diary of live performances is very interesting, but the calander format is annoying. Another book that compliments "A Performance Diary" is "Janis Garden Party", a collection of photos taken at Madison Square Garden in Dec. 1969 by photographer Steve Banks. The book is published by Bugiganga Press, 1998.

This review is from: Janis Joplin: A Performance Diary 1966-1970 (Hardcover)
This is the absolutely best book out there on Janis. Pictures are amazing. It was written by her road manager. I was lucky enough to hear Mr. Cooke give a talk on Janis at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The talk was fascinating. He remembers almost everything as if it was just happening today. The book arrived in great condition. It is hard to find as it it out of print. The book came as advertised and very quickly.
