In 1994, Etheridge was probably at her commercial and creative peak. She had three albums from 1989 to 1992 that sold at least a million copies in the U.S. each. Then in 1993, her album "Yes I Am" was her biggest seller, selling six million in the U.S.
The first half of the concert consisted of Etheridge's original songs. But then she did no less than four songs in a row originally made famous by Janis Joplin. Joplin was one of the stars of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, so Etheridge thought the 1994 Woodstock was a good occasion for a Joplin tribute.
As usual, the sound quality is excellent. (I don't remember why I added "[Edit]" to "Silent Legacy." Probably I patched a gap in the song.) However, the versions I found of this were missing the final song, "I'm the Only One," because it was the only song from this set that appeared on the festival's official double album. But I fly close to the sun when it comes to copyright issues, so I included that one too. As Janis Joplin used to sing, get it while you can.
The album is 55 minutes long.
