To celebrate the broadcast premiere of Janis Joplin: Little Girl Blue on Tuesday, May 3 on KQED 9, we asked our social media fans to delve into their family albums and show us their snapshots taken during the Sixties in the San Francisco Bay Area: a place Joplin called home until her untimely death age 27 in 1970. And they did not disappoint.

Scroll down to enjoy just some of the many, many evocative photographs we received via the #BayBackWhen hashtag. Many thanks to all those who contributed to this collective picture of the style, attitude and atmosphere of an unforgettable period of Bay Area history!
