Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs Tour ruclips.net/video/rWgpU6cQCQM/видео.html
He's the singer and he has a palsy.
We are all human, and I am just happy to watch you get acquainted with all the great music out there! :)
@@buzzwerd8093 Joe did not have a palsy. That was debunked over 50 years ago. He always moved like that.
The amount of chemicals floating over Woodstock would have been unmeasureable, which lead to some of the best preforming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never felt older than I feel right now. I was there.
WOW! 🤩
Lucky you! How old were you?I was 12 when Woodstock was on,also I’m on the other side of the world! No chance! Lol! Stay safe!
You have the envy of most music fans. What an amazing experience that must have been!
Respect x
Yeeeeesssss. Brilliant! my parents wouldn't let me go... (i was only 1 year old! lol) Im so jelous of people who had these expiriences... what memories to have!!
The Beatles wrote and sang this song first but it will forever be remembered as a Joe Cocker song. He kills it.
It’s chilling how good this performance is. Taking a Beatles song and basically owning it takes some balls and I believe he forever earned Paul McCartneys respect. 🎸✌🏻
I believe that John Lennon's response was "it's his song now"
It was sung by Ringo, written by McCartney.
Much better as/ than the original, as far as I'm concerned .
I read that his real backup singers were stuck in traffic, which is why his bandmates are singing backup. They did a darned fine job.
Correct :D
Yes, they had to close the New York State Thruway!
The logistical disaster that was Woodstock.
The reason why the backup singers were doing a falsetto is because on the studio version of the song Joe had a group of female backup singers who were not at Woodstock. Therefore the male backup singers did their best to imitate the female singers that is on the studio version.
The females were with the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour
@@thomasjurgensen2086 Was the album version taken from that tour?
Excellent insight -- because this falsetto isn't bad enough to ruin anything, it is perfectly functional. But otherwise kinda bad. And... in context, this *is* after all a Beatles cover, and I think it's fair to say, for context, that every single person in that audience at Woodstock knew the Beatles song, which had that call-and-response vocal arrangement for that part of the lyrics.
@@TheScavenger71 No.
@@wagstaff6135
I found the backup singing arrangement garbage. Cocker was just too good to care.
This song he sang at Woodstock is known as one of the best performances of all time by any group in any genre. He said in an interview that he wanted his performance to be so big because he knew how hard his band was playing and he himself was not playing an instrument. He wanted to match their intensity and energy
You should check out sly and the family stones performance at Woodstock at 2 in the morning of take you higher. this HOF'er and his group had 400,000 hippies dancing in the fields .amber,you will love the horns
he took it to a different level not the next level, mind you the beatles loved it
Brilliant!
He turned a Beatles song into a Gospel sermon.
He was from Sheffield in England and had a great pair of lungs
Sadly, they failed him in the end due to his smoking habit ☹️
@@Corwin1141
Yep, good point!
I'm a COPD sufferer and nonsmoker almost seven years.
Sadly the damage has been done.
Cocker has some of the best covers
_Feeling Alright_ was originally by *Traffic* (Dear Mr. Fantasy), but no one remembers their version:
ruclips.net/video/jvAByzXT1U8/видео.html
At Woodstock. I was 19 years old
.
Joe Cocker was a legend, the studio version had a female chorus
I learned on another reaction video that the regular backup singers were caught in traffic so the band improvised.
Fun fact: "Many assumed he must have been either stoned, or crazy. Actually, it was just his way of feeling the music. As a singer, he didn't have an instrument to play while on stage. In an interview with The Guardian, he explained, “I guess that came with my frustration at never having played piano or guitar.""
My brother went to see him on stage in Colorado, not long after Woodstock. He said Cocker was so messed up, he couldn't get through a set. Big disappointment for my brother.
Yeah nah he was high af mate like everyone else was
No doubt high af but the point is that it wasn't the reason for his erratic movements in his performance. He was just that into it.
Saw his concert which was my first big one in 78 . Well that was his way to sing , not so intense as we see here but pretty close .
He said he was flying pretty high at Woodstock! He was a huge whiskey drinker as well at that time.
I was so lucky to see Joe Cocker and Stevie Ray Vaugn in concert together, 1990, I believe, in Hamilton Ontario, Canada.
Not long after, the amazing Stevie Ray died in a helicopter crash!
Amazingly wonderful concert!!
This was a song written and recorded by the Beatles, who were very close with Joe. After Joe's version, John Lennon of the Beatles said, "Well now...I guess Joe just took one of our songs, and made it his own! Good on our mate Joe Cocker." Very cool of the Beatles to say that.
He didnt actually say that.. he said "it was just mind blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful for him for doing that."
@@needaman66 i believe it was Paul McCartney who said that..
Similar to Bob Dylan signing off on All Along The Watchtower after Jimi Hendrix covered it!
Paul McCartney said that Joe’s was the only version that ever should be played.
@@richardanderson5424 source?
No one has moves like Joe Cocker. It a cross between seizures and dancing. He pulls it off and it just become a Joe Cocker performance. 😊
Minutes after this perfomance the rains let loose. He conjured the cosmos. This was Woodstock's peak moment.
Funny thing, you'd be surprised how many people think this song is only a theme to the TV show "The Wonder Years" and it always blows their minds when I show them that this was a song their grandparents rocked to, LOL!
Or that Ringo Starr sang it first
@@simianinc Well, that goes without saying. I've had the DVD of Yellow Submarine for over 20 years now, lol. And the red and blue album sets since I was a kid in the 70's :)
It was the theme, it just wasn't made for that purpose.
My dad was there, watching this.
'The Wonder Years' was set in the late 60's early 70's and revolved around 1 persons interaction with his friends. As this song is from 1968 it made the perfect theme song.
Joe Cocker spent his final years in Crawford Colorado. He was a much loved community member and owned a restaurant called the mad dog. He had a wonderful charity that contributed to the community. He had concerts every few years at the county fairgrounds. I got to see him, and his show was phenomenal! He sounded just like this well into his 70’s. RIP Joe!
Pam and Joe Cocker's Mad Dog Cafe! I remember it well! You'd get a Christmas card every year if you signed their guest registry!
Joe was a gas meter reader from Sheffield UK in his early days !
Didn't know that. AWESOME
Joe started out as a lorry driver in the UK. He had little exposure in the US until Woodstock and the subsequent film and then took off becoming known as 'The Gov'ner' in the music world. But his performance in Woodstock was unique for it's down and in the moment feel that was not to be replicated later after becoming an entity of record contracts unfortunately. Still, he remained the one and only Joe Cocker who was always a gentleman and gentle soul.
Joe, main singer, was a Sheffield lad (I walk past his old house).... and that was just Joe!!!!! This song was a Beatles song from about 1967.... Totally different though. Its on Sgt. Peppers Longley Hearts Club Band.
The most underrated singer of the world. And a shame of the Rock and Roll hall of fame that he is not in the company of many nobodies who are already introduced in that institute!!
The “ white” version of Ray Charles…. Who he emulated well!
One thing to remember is that every member of that audience had heard the original version of that song on the Beatles album, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, so when they heard this, it literally blew their minds because it was so different.
Excellent comment.
"Feelin' Alright" has to be next. Joe Cocker is a legend.
Other Joe Cocker songs:
You are so Beautiful
The Letter
Unchain my Heart
You can leave you hat on
Can't forget Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong
All such great songs
High Time We Went, Woman To Woman, Delta Lady, Cry Me A River, Space Captain …..
Also Delta Lady.
You are so beautiful
This Lennon/McCartney (Beatles) song was a huge hit for the Beatles. Joe Cocker covered it and made it his own. Joe isn't high on drugs, he's high on the music. His body expresses what he feels.
He was kept off TV for ages because people thought he looked disabled
My momma who have said "he's on drugs!"
Actually, The Beatles never released it as a single. It was not a hit. The album, Sgt Peppers was a huge hit, but not the song. Until Cocker got a hold of it, changed the time signature and created a classis. McCartney loved his version and immediately offered him She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, which he also covered.

JOE COCKER & JOHN BELUSHI - FEELIN' ALRIGHT (On Saturday Night Live) 1976.
I was there. Never will there be a more deep feeling of love for life than this time/moment in history. Brings a smile and tears at the same time.
He sang with his whole-ass body. Every part is in on it. 🙂
Yes ma’am he did
The late and great Joe Cocker. R.I.P. We were all kids in those days. I was 24 when this was recorded. I'm now 75!
I was just 18 when he sang up where we belong with Jennifer Warnes for the An Officer and a Gentleman soundtrack. "I just turned 58." My father used to say it goes so fast when referring to the years going by. Of course I would reply ok pops.
We thought we could change the world in those days.
Ah shit Webb you’re making me feel old… but YYES. IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES!!
@@kevvegas An Officer and a Gentleman was filmed in Port Townsend, Washington. About an hour from where I live at an old Army fort now a park.
I'm right there with you Webb !! I'm 64 now, and I remember woodstock well.
This song was used as the theme song to the TV show "The Wonder Years" (1988-1993). I was a naive child at the time and had no idea this was a Beatles' song; I thought this was his song!
That's what this song always makes me think of
For the same reason i thougt it was Bon Jovi's :) they've done it on theirs Mtv show.
The mind blowing thing is that he's singing a Beatles song. And he's singing it better than they ever did. That's rare, I think unique.
Ray Charles Yesterday?
ruclips.net/video/Bzk0n7h6I-o/видео.html
@@gastrickbunsen1957 Nat King Cole covered it too. Paul was better. They were epic, Paul was better.
@@thomasdevine867
It's subjective I suppose but Ray's version is my favourite of the three.
@@thomasdevine867 Ringo sang this one lol
Nah
It was said that Joe Cocker felt the music so hard, he couldn't stop his body from moving, as if it was playing every instrument at the same time.......By all accounts, this amazing man, was the most gentle person you could ever meet, and wore his soul like a blanket, for all of us to see *****RIP GREAT ONE*****
Try to get ahold of the documentary 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' (1970). His gentleness shines.
@@db1958 Thank you, I will 😊
i love that description--like he was playing all the instruments at the same time!!!
@@lesliesterling826 💖
RIP Joe your not forgotten and with you and a little help from my friends help me get by every day.
Joe Cocker has so many great songs, “you can leave your hat on” is another great one
Oooooh! That's a good one!
Yes..yes..YES!
She came in trhu the bathroom window
This is especially epic , such an amazing cover, You should definitely react to the Beatles version.
I came here to say the same!
Keep in mind, this is live at Woodstock. He sounded that phenomenal live. You should hear the studio version of this song. One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest artists ever.
Rob Squad -- you are experiencing GREATNESS. It does NOT get any better than Cocker. This is a Beatles song that Cocker took to the next level. RIP Joe Cocker.
Love John Belushi's verson of Joe Crocker.....remember? Also who remembers the show the Wonder Years?
Omg! The first time I watched SNL this was on and at first I thought it actually was Joe Cocker finally losing it completely!! It was hilarious! Loved Belushi ❤
@@nbell817 Belushi was a legend alright. Animal House!
Yo that still is so great and funny and he did that on Saturday Night Live ..
Yes and yes!
Most people just do a stank face, Joe Cocker does it with his whole body.
Joe was from the generation in England, Who got hit by polio. Some ppl think its because of drinking, but the stiffness is a part of aftermath of polio.
@@miriamschadtler3700 Oh really? I never knew that. I think people have forgotten just how hard polio hit. That's rough. I always thought it was his style, getting into the groove of the music. Thanks for letting me know.
@@miriamschadtler3700 no it's nothing physical, he just sings with his whole body, plays air guitar and conducts the band. I knew Joe when we were all teenagers, he was fine,
I knew Joe when we were all teens, he never had polio as far as I knew. He just sang with his whole body, it was part of his persona. When he was Vance Arnold back in the 60s, he was pretty still when he was on stage.
@@miriamschadtler3700 You may be thinking of Ian Drury.. he did have polio that affected him
I’m nearly 70, and I was 16 in 1969. Joe Cocker was a legend. That song and the way he treated it makes me feel something special inside. I still love the raw emotion in his voice - the warmth and subtlety in the quiet sections and the raw power in the wild passages. His delivery was all emotion. God bless you Joe Cocker. You were really something and you are not forgotten. It’s really nice that the young guys like you two here can feel it too. Thank you Joe for all the beauty you gave us.
im your age, all i can do is echo your words, we were very blessed to be at that age when there was endless bands and individuals that expressed the same passion and talent that joe portrayed...
Me too, 60s was a great decade to grow up in. Loved this song.
One of the best live performances ever....
Great man, great voice. I knew him in his later years, my sister in law was his caregiver when he went into hospice. He passed in 2014 of lung cancer. RIP Joe
Rest In Peace, Joe. 🌺
You were lucky to have known him
This song reminds me of my parents generation so much. My mother died of lung cancer in 2015.
Glad Joe had loving care when he was so sick. Thanks to wonderful caregivers everywhere, esp hospice workers 😢💔Thanks Joe for all of your beautiful music, have loved you since the 60’s you incredible spirit.
Joe Cocker born and bred in Sheffield UK. He began his career there singing in the working mens clubs and pubs. And my stepfather was in school with him.
Joe Cocker was an amazing artist back when singers let it all "hang-out" and GO! A great time indeed!
I love the beginning when you said you didn't expect it to be so slow. I just laughed and thought you have NO IDEA what is coming including probably the most iconic scream in rock n roll history. In the studio the high backup part was sung by women so the backup guys in this live version were doing their best to hit the high notes. Live at WOODSTOCK in front of 400,000 people. Thank God they filmed it!!!
It's a cover of a Lennon-McCartney Beatles' song. The story goes that when Paul heard Joe Cocker's rendition, Paul told him "It's your song now, mate." John Belushi did a brilliant imitation of this performance....
Cocker was not amused.
They might not know who John Belushi is. 😁
@@kmj217 he must of got over it because they sang together on SNL
This man had an amazing connection to feel the music in pure form. RIP Joe Cocker
Joe was from Sheffield in Northern England. It is known as 'Steel City', a real working class town. Joe had a perfect voice which complements where he was from.
I have seen this video many times by Joe Cocker at Woodstock 1969.
It is the Greatest Performance by a Single Musician,I have ever seen.
You cannot beat it.❤️🥰🙏🏻😍❤️
This song was originally written and performed by the Beatles, however Joe Crocker OWNED it. This was also the theme song of the TV show The Wonder Years
Hey, wanna feel old? Look up what the stars of Wonder Years look like now. Fred Savage is starting to turn grey and is badly covering that fact up.
JOE COCKER! NO R GUYS
JIMMY PAGE played on the record
My show when I was growing up! ❤️
The best ever cover of a Beatles song, Joe is pure gold.
Up there with this is John Farnham singing Help.
I am all abougt the Beatles, but this version is better than the original!
The Beatles be like: How do you like our song?
Joe be like: Hold my beer...
Heck, it's a cover in name only🤣He took that song and made it completely his own, as original as he could be and he turned what was already a fine melody into one of the most enduring anthems of all time. What a genius he was! Seriously, it brings tears to my eyes. Gorgeous...
This aone of the rare occasions, when a song is perfect in his original version and than comes is a cover that tops it...
Growing up in the sixties and seventies, and hearing all these amazing artist and seeing these amazing artist live, and even somewhat into the eighties, when are people going to understand why we don't pay attention to what's being afforded today.. This was music.... His name is Joe Cocker.. And was was great..
So many people covered Beatles songs but, for me, this is the best. He made it his song.
His duet with Jennifer Warnes "up where we belong " from the film An Officer and a Gentleman is a good one to react to
Looove that song!
Damn, I'm 52 years old and remember as a kid being absolutely spellbound when I heard this on my parents record player. To this day when he sings that first note I STILL get shivers that stay for the entirety of the song. Can you imagine being there and hearing that live? One of the top 10 live performances of all time.
Joe Cocker really put his heart and soul into his music. For sure. I've seen him twice and he never once disappointed.
This is the greatest version performed by anyone ever. Joe not only cemented this song in history, never to be outdone again, he gave this song wings to fly forever. Simply Joe. Simply the best! RIP Joe Cocker.
Joe Cocker was a one-of-a-kind performer. He really did put this much emotion into EVERY performance. This is a cover of a Beatles song, and one of the few Beatles covers to REALLY outshine the original. This was the theme song of the popular sitcom The Wonder Years.
You should hear Jose Feliciano's Beatles covers!
Even John Lennon admitted JF's version of 'In my life' was the way it was meant to sound! 😲
Joe Cocker was English. So, so many incredibly great singers and bands from England. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Love your comparison between Joe Cocker and Janice Joplin. They both played at Isle of Wight festival 1970. I was there, ran away from home, just 16. That weekend changed my life.
Joe Cocker made the blues version of the original song from the Beatles, and it became as legendary as the original!
As a 64 year old it's so great watching your reaction because I already know what's coming. It's proof that music is universal and timeless. This song is really a sonic orgasm.
Yes
We definitely lived during the best music ever. The 60's WOW
What I think is so cool is seeing the music I grew up on transcend generations. 💕
Exactly it's like all that music that I've listened to since throwing up I'm still listening to it and it never gets old like the daily vitamin I must take
That's growing up not throwing up
Joe Cocker “You Can Leave Your Hat On” is a must
Late 1960s music had so much raw emotion, nothing compares.
EVERYTIME, EVERYTIME, I watch the video of Joe here at Woodstock, a big smile covers my face! It is So Fun to watch the expressions and reactions of young people as they first become acquainted with this performance of JC!!! It is So Cool!!!
I'm 62, and it thrills me!! 😊🎉🎉🎉
He took a jaunty little number sung by Ringo and made it a passionate, profound, maxed out anthem about friendship!
You are so missed Joe.
You can relate him and Janis in a way they are different from anyone. They sang ''ugly''. Didnt care how they looked or came across. Just melted in the music and sang with their heart. One of my favorite male singer of all time. He is british and the song is from the Beattles.
This is so true!
The legend that is Joe Cocker. What a voice. That Sheffield gravel in his voice.......awesome....... He could fix your pipework too, as he was a gas fitter. Mr. Cocker was also a frequent runner up in the World Epileptic Fit Championships........
Joe cocker was such a soulful Man. I got to see him in concert in 2002 in Las Vegas and he was just as good. So soothing so lovely
This man had a touch... a feel for his music. It shows. And a side note... when he was on SNL with Belushi. Funny yet still showed his magic.
I said that too. His flailing was real pronounced here, reminded me of Belushi.😁
Took the words outta my mouth!
That was hysterical. We all thought it was really Joe until he walked out! 😂😂
@@remedy9648 I think that...took the words right out of my mouth was meatloaf.
Okay Friends - here is what happened a few months later - the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour with Leon Russell leading the 30 piece band. Many of the songs are on video on RUclips. Here is the first one: ruclips.net/video/YrK5GZGqxNg/видео.html
YES!
Oh leon..... r.i.p.
One of the best albums EVER!!!
Unbelievable performances.
I had the privilege of catching Leon live in Detroit, just before his passing. Legendary!!!
Joe Cocker became the music when he sang...it possessed him and his entire soul.
60s, 70s, and 80s were my favourite decades for music , nothing to match them since .
RIP Soul Man. Yes, Joe Cocker is the male equivalent of Janis.
I like Janis but after a while too much but Joe, man.
Well said
Joe is the male equivalent of Janis and Janis is the female equivalent of Joe. They both set the bar for gritty vocals.
Jim Morrison tried to drag Janis Joplin's out of the passenger seat of a car by her hair when he was drunk. She got out and clocked him in the head with a wine bottle and knocked him unconscious.
After that Jim had a huge crush on her and kept pestering her manager to arrange another meeting.
True story too, a well known one that unlike many rock and roll stores isn't mythical or stretched beyond the truth ..... There were several witnesses. It's a matter of public record.
good one... he is.. was
My understanding the actual women back up singers were stuck in traffic and could not make it in time so the guy's had to make do. They did good.
I didn't know about the backup singers in traffic
These guys who took over were awesome
❤Joe Cocker
Nothing else I can say.
This the way he express his self he not buzzed
He is a straight LEGEND. Check out his song "You Are So Beautiful". I think Amber, especially, will love it. His voice is one of my favorites 💙💙
I was going to suggest the same song
He totally surrendered himself in this performance...wow, he got hit by the Holy Spirit looks like!
Yep...real ole Gospel soul sound...
He was high as all heck.
When you watch these Woodstock clips, the thing that is inescapable is the intensity. Santana's Soul Sacrifice, Ten Years After I'm Going Home, Cocker on this one, Sly on Take You Higher, Airplane on Volunteers, etc... These bands were bringing everything they had! 110%. That's what makes these clips so cool.
Joe was a pipe fitter at Laycocks engineering works in Sheffield Yorkshire England in the 1960s. An old friend of mine who's no longer with us sadly worked there at the same time and told me he used to sing whilst doing his job and the old blokes used to tell him to "stick to the day job" could they have been more wrong!
Joe Cocker on vocals, Henry McCullough on guitar and backing vocals, Alan Spenner on bass and backing vocals and Chris Stainton on keyboards A performance for the ages.
Thanks for that.
Bruce Rowlands on drums.
AMEN to that brother!
The Grease Band and Joe Cocker. Man, those were the days!
When he toured as Mad Dogs and Englishmen, he had fabulous backup vocalist Rita Coolidge and the immensely creative musician Leon Russell in his band. BTW, it was widely reported that Joe Cocker hailed from Liverpool, England. Not often, by it does happen, that a cover is more popular than the original; and, I believe that to be the case, when Joe covered the Beatle tracks Little Help from My Friends and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. His version of Space Captain is, IMHO, worth a listen. The man was soulful, what a talent!
I am now 63, and so glad I grew up with all this great music to listen to. Reliving it thru young people’s reaction videos means so much. I started DJing school dances in the 1st grade, as a 20 year old, I was on the air in Dallas playing this stuff. I’ve been so fortunate. God really graced me. ☮️❤️
I am 60 and we got the best. The 1st record I ever bought Sgt Peppers when I was 7. Peace.
I'm only 30 but I your wrong ring so true when you say, "reliving though others" and you are correct; seeing others relate to the way things touch you is like no other.
No auto-tune. No studio mix. Live and talent. That's my generation's entertainment.
Definitely check out Joe Cocker's "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" which is also a Beatles song. Absolutely stunning!
Woodstock was a once in a lifetime experience. Hendrix closed it out with a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that is not just the song but theater, trust me mind blowing guitar work you have never heard and will never hear again.
Hendrix
@@triciasomogyi5431 I humbly throw myself on the mercy of the court of public opinion. I know auto-correct is a weak defense, but I ask that the jury take into account time served through the boy band era as punishment. I will be more diligent in my future comments. Typo corrected ;-)
There was a young Marine who did his best to play Jimmy’s version when I was active duty. He did a fantastic job, Lance Corporal Hopkins. Our Battalion commander allowed it. Jimmy was without a doubt a master at his craft.
He has tons of energy and his entire body is filled with music. He’d probably bleed music if he stepped on a tack! I love how he moves!
For your own personal interests, he was a guest on Saturday Night Live and John Belushi came out dressed the same way and sang this with Joe. It was a surprise to Joe, and John mimicked and enhanced Joe Cocker’s unusual movements! They sang it together!!
Belushi did Cocker better than Cocker did Cocker ! LOL.
Best SNL ever!
I watch that video at least once a week.
Sadly, I'm not sure Jordan and Amnber will know who Belushi is either. R. I. P. To them both.
@@vaccumme cocker blocked
Accidentally bumped into guys a short time ago. It makes me very happy that your generation can appreciate the music of the 60s-70s such as the Mamas and the Papas, Janis Joplin, the Beatles and here, Joe Cocker on one hand and MoTown (Supremes, Temptation, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, 5th Dimension) on the other. We feel like our generation lived in the middle of some of the greatest music that any generation has yet produced. For you guys to show your appreciation for it demonstrates that you two know a good thing when you hear it. I love your smiles and positive attitude. Keep up the good work You both seem like two very nice people. God Bless!!
If I’m not mistaken the guy singing with such a high tone voice was originally sang by a woman who could not make it there on time that day so they improvised and I think it was still great. Joe Cocker sang in the movie across the universe I think his last performance before he passed. I have always loved his vocals heck I love anyone with raspy voices. Love your reaction.
Joe Cocker is in that group of legendary artists that don't have traditional voices for singing, at first you're bewildered by it, but you just fall in LOVE with their sound.. like Louie Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, etc..
You explained it perfectly!
Louie (Armstrong) ???

I agree. Best wishes to you.
the temp's +90f, humid, 500K people, and the last song in the set... Joe is from Sheffield England, God rest his soul...
It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era - the kind of peak that never comes again. Joe's concerts were a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...
There was madness in any direction. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing together was right, that we were winning...
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply PREVAIL. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...
So now, years later, when I go up on a steep hill and look West, and with the right kind of eyes I can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.
I saw him at Woodstock. Joe was playing the "air guitar".
You can tell that he was someone who literally felt every note with his entire being... and put every bit of himself into every performance. Even the Beatles were impressed with this performance. And yes, he had an accent... he was from Sheffield, England.
Joe's voice was his instrument, he never learned to play. Joe was an Englishman
More importantly, he was a Yorkshire Man. :)
He had an album called Mad Dogs and Englishmen.
@@glenn20081965 Also a Sheffield gasfitter before a full time singer. We'd be missing so much if he hadn't ditched that job.
Joe cocker, what a legend, before he made it as a musician he was a plumber from sheffield uk. Such passion.!
"The Letter" is another Cocker masterpiece and my persona favorite..
Joe Cocker’s recording of You Are So Beautiful. Serious feels and pure bliss.
Music by Lennon and McCartney, voice by Joe Cocker - sometimes things in this universe just align and transcend day to day existence - this is one of those moments. RIP Joe (and John)
Yup and all English
Joe Cocker has been an amazing artist for years. What a voice!
I don't know the backup singer's name, but the lead is Joe Cocker. He didn't write tunes; only performed covers. But as you see here, he was able to take an average Beatle's song and make it into a rock music moment. The studio version has female backup singers, so the backup guys are working hard to hit those notes. In case you didn't catch it, this is from the Woodstock Music Festival in August 1969.
With A Little Help From My Friends was a huge Beatles song.
Joe Cocker’s “With a Little Help From My Friends” and Jimi Hendrix’s “Star Spangled Banner” are the most iconic moments from Woodstock. They define an era that is unfortunately fading. Glad you’re keep it alive!
To those two I'd have to add Santana playing "Soul Sacrifice." Rolling Stone magazine said they "stopped the show." Michael Shrieve's drum solo is one of the most amazing things ever caught on film. (if you can find a version where they haven't edited out 85% of it)
Ritchie Haven’s Freedom was also incredible
I am happy to see young people discover Joe. I'm 62 I will do my part. Best wishes to you.
Also another iconic Woodstock performance is Grace Slick with Jefferson Airplane doing Someone to Love that would be great for a female Friday listen.
Joe Cocker's backing band was called 'The Grease Band'. Their lead guitarist, who also did backing vocals on this track, was the great Henry McCullough playing his Les Paul Gold Top.
One of the greatest performances ever captured on film. RIP Joe Cocker
It's Joe Cocker, from my home town, Sheffield UK. The song is a Beatles composition performed with great feeling. He was successful with a decent list of hits.
"He's trippin'!"
Yes, I imagine he probably was!
Half a million people and not one fight. Imagine that...
In context it is half a million people against the war and piece lovers. take half a million attendees to a metal concert and just as high and the mosh pit would not fair as well.
@@agdtec Oh, no doubt!
The mosh pit could probably double as a horror/crime scene! ☺
Keep away from the brown acid!
Everytime I hear this version of that iconic song, I'm reminded of the opening theme of the famous 80's tv show "The wonder years" with Fred Savage.
That a brilliant series brings back so many happy memories
Wow, sat with my 2 Wains watching the wonder years xxx
Loved the wonder years,seemed to be a better time?
its a beatles song
Me too dude.
In tears listening to this again. Just incredible
