This is the expanded edition (1994, the 25th anniversary of the show) of Janis Joplin's appearance atJahrhunderthalle, 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

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.
