The photograph of Joplin seated on her dressing room couch at Winterland clutching a bottle of Southern Comfort is probably Marshall's most famous portrait. Marshall said of it ..Janis loved me; I was in the dressing room just clicking away..Some people said I shouldn't have published that picture of her lying back, with the bottle in her hand..But Janis said 'Hey, that's a great shot because it's how it is sometimes. Lousy'.. (See American Photographer September 1987 p.37)
