Big Brother and the Holding Company
San Francisco’s music scene in 1970s takes stage in docuseries
Janis Joplin's first rehearsal with the rock band Big Brother & The Holding Company was apparently a loud affair. So loud it was alarming.
Bassist Peter Albin recalls the band raising the roof off one day in the 1960s when their playing was interrupted by a knock at the door. Two San Francisco police officers were investigating reports of a woman screaming.
