Sony/BMG's Legacy imprint decided to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock by issuing a slew of double-disc deluxe packages by catalog artists who played the festival. Each slipcase contains the featured artist's entire performance at Woodstock, and as a bonus, an LP sleeve reproduction of a classic album issued near the time the festival, as well as fine, individually designed double-sided posters. The Janis Joplin package contains the remastered version of I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!, and the complete ten-song performance from Sunday, August 17, 1969. Much of this has been issued before either as bonus material on catalog reissues, or as part of her box set retrospective. The concert was one of the first featuring her new Kozmic Blues Band, with a complete horn section. Whether it was the weather or the band's newness as a stage entity, the performance is certainly rough and ragged in places, and the sound leaves something be desired despite valiant efforts to restore and remaster it. It's more than acceptable, but far from the pristine sound of 21st century live recordings. It is more than worthwhile, however.
