This is the expanded edition (1994, the 25th anniversary of the show) of Janis Joplin's appearance at
Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt-Hoechst, Germany, Apr 12, 1969.

Some of the footage was also used (later) for the Howard Alk documentary "Janis" (1974) 
(several songs, and some of the same interview footage). In my opinion, Howard Alk 
also "copied" some of the montage techniques used in this 1969 TV documentary.

However, as one user on imdb.com commented on Alk's documentary:
"A lot of the concert footage is severely edited, either cut in half 
or the last fraction of a song is heard, which is disappointing from such a talent as Janis."

This, however, is the 1969 German TV "original" in its entirety, produced by Bavaria Atelier GmbH for WDR 
-- directed by a young Reinhard Hauff (seee http://www.deutsches-filmhaus.de/filme_gesamt/h_gesamt/hauff_reinhard.htm 
or http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0369240/).

The 1994 "25th Anniversary Broadcast" is "sandwiched" between 1994 reminiscenses by Horst Lippman (promoter), 
Reinhard Hauff (director), Fritz Rau (promoter), Joy Fleming (opening act), and others.
While these interviews are (obviously) in German and while the Janis Joplin interview footage also has a "voice-over"
in German, the concert footage is outstanding (and should make this item interesting for non-German fans also). 
It is in PAL format.

I have previously bittorrented this as VCD on Sharing The Groove, but decided that the material 
would deserve a transfer to DVD (even with a slight hiss present throughout which I did not eliminate).

Lineage: SWF3 TV Broadcast (PAL, 1994) via antenna - VHS - Pinnacle Music Box USB/Pinnacle Studio - Nero (to generate a
simple menu).

That said -- this is my first attempt to seed something through EZTree. I'm capped (asynchronous DSL) and 
would appreciate help by others to keep this running for a while.

It is certainly worth it.
