The Dead had a huge repertoire of great tunes to create the magic but Janis had a mind blowingly powerful voice that I’m sure was ****ing spine chilling live.

^ Yes, me too on all your points, including Grateful Dead live (at the "Ally Pally" in London) . Of course the time and place argument applies to any musical performance. For about a year, a friend of mine used to get complementary tickets to classical concerts and he took me along a few times. Watching those violinists and orchestra playing away, they almost tricked me into enjoying classical music. B
astards!

^ Yes like Amy Winehouse she just seemed bewildered by her own success.
