Live at Winterland '68 is an album by Janis Joplin with her band Big Brother and the Holding Company. It was recorded at the Winterland Ballroom on April 12 and 13, 1968, and includes live renditions of songs from their studio albums.
After a successful tour of the East Coast of the United States, with B. B. King, Albert King, and others, Big Brother returned to San Francisco, where this album was recorded. Lengthier renditions of their songs, such as "Light Is Faster Than Sound" extending over 7 minutes, are included.
