Janis Joplin - Interview after London Royal Albert Hall Concert

Album:

God, is that exciting, man! Nobody, nobody ever, anybody ever thought it would be that good! I didn't. Nobody else did. Nobody ever thought it would be I mean that good, that was, that was more good than any other good. Man, if you can say, well it's gonna be as good as this concert, but it's better than any fuckin' ever concert, man. [Yeah, London] was the best, nobody's ever fucking got up yet.

No one's ever got up and danced and dug it. No one's ever done anything there and they did it, man! They fuckin' got up and grooved, and then they listened. That was dynamite. You know you could tell when they're really being selfish and they just wanna dance, but they worked, man, and when I'd do a soft song everybody'd shut up! That's too much, man. That's really too fuckin' much.

They expect you to work hard.

God, God! God! God I was so happy! Whew-ew!! Think I'll call my mother, man. D'you know, mom, I got 'em all off their ass! Hey what's that, man ?
