From songfacts.com:
Janis performed this song at the Woodstock Music Festival of 1969. The studio version on Kozmic Blues did not quite crystallize for listeners of the album, but the live version was sung with strongervocals. Many avid fans believe the Woodstock version was one of her greatest live performances during her career.
