Big Brother & The Holding Company were leading lights on San Francisco's psychedelic scene in the late 60's, up there with the likes of Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead.

Much of the group's success was down to its charismatic lead singer, Janis Joplin, who was to go on to a highly-successful solo career, cut short by her death in 1970 from a drug overdose.
