For the performance, the band utilized loaned amplifiers after their own were stolen while in Boston. Despite the setback, Joplin is still noted for giving a soulful performance.[2]
Three tracks, "Half Moon", "Mercedes Benz", and "My Baby" would be a part of Joplin's final studio album, Pearl. It would be released January 11, 1971.
