Биография "Big Brother & The Holding Company"
<< Вернуться к списку всех песен "Big Brother & The Holding Company"
10 июня 1966 года состоялось первое выступление нового состава группы в «Авалоне». Певица мгновенно установила контакт с аудиторией и тут же сделалась местной звездой. Спустя два месяца Big Brother подписали контракт с независимым лэйблом Mainstream Records и отправилась в студию записывать дебют, который выпущен был лишь год спустя, после того, как Дженис Джоплин произвела фурор на фестивале в Монтерее (июнь 1967 года), где она «привлекла внимание своим необычно сильным и богатым хрипловатым голосом, нервно-энергичной манерой пения»[1]. Её выступление с «Ball and Chain» стало центральным эпизодом фильма «Monterey Pop», который и по сей день считается шедевром рок-документалистики.
После фестиваля новый менеджер Алберт Гроссман (который вел также дела Боба Дилана) обеспечил группе котракт с Columbia Records. Mainstream Records все-таки выпустили залежалый (но при этом не вполне доработанный) дебют Big Brother & the Holding Company, который в августе 67-го появился на 60-м месте в списках Биллборда (позже Columbia выкупила права на пластинку и сделала её хитом).

October 15, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Big Brother & the Holding Company (Big Brother and The Holding Company, Jerry Garcia sitting), Sir Douglas Quintet.
October 16, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Big Brother & the Holding Company, Sir Douglas Quintet, 13th Floor Elevators, The New Peanut Butter Sandwich. Jerry Garcia’s Middle Finger blogged: Having just posted about Garcia’s October 1966 sit-in with Big Brother and the Holding Company, I’ll follow on with what is even more interesting-sounding (though it apparently didn’t come off that well).
Mojo Navigator R&R News no. 9 (October 17, 1966) gives a brief account of the evening, which apparently included a configuration («One Night Only!», I assume) called The New Peanut Butter Sandwich, composed of the following (instruments are mostly presumed):
Ron «Pigpen» McKernan (GD): ?organ?
Jerry Garcia (GD): guitar;
David Getz (BBHC): drums;
David Freiberg (QMS): bass;
?? (Sir Douglas Quintet): rhythm guitar;
Gary Duncan (QMS): guitar;
John Cipollina (QMS): guitar;
?? («negro blues singer»): ??.
The only other detail is that «They did a very long and boring pseudo-Butterfield blues instrumental.» Not clear what the blues singer was doing sitting in on an instrumental, but anyway … sounds interesting!
This may have happened on October 15 or October 16.
