Janis Joplin Calming Her Nerves With A Drink

Janis Joplin was among the A-list stars who performed at Woodstock. The late Joplin appears calm in this photo, where she shares a drink with someone. However, that wasn’t the case when she initially touched down at the venue. Joplin felt nervous seeing the mammoth crowd, and perhaps that’s where the drink came in and helped calm her down.

Joplin’s set got delayed, but she offered a marvelous performance going well into Sunday morning. Pete Townsend from The Who, the English band, was quoted saying that the heroine and alcohol held Joplin back from delivering her best, though.
