This video is from a documentary called "Nine Hundred Nights." The clip here is about Janis Joplin and her first band, Big Brother And The Holding Company, in the context of the 1967 Montery Pop Festival, which catapulted them to fame outside San Francisco where they had already established a loyal following. The song heard here is "Combination Of The Two." It was not included in the famous Pennebaker concert film, "Monterey Pop," which instead uses Joplin singing "Ball and Chain" at the event. Also seen and heard here are interviews with surviving band members Sam Andrews, David Getz and Peter Albin discussing their experiences at Monterey during that landmark year.
