Even I wasnt born yet when this people were performing this feelings, for me are real feelings that most people dont even want to recognise it..that makes my life sad, but are people that are still like you that it does feel it!! Good for us!!!❤
I'm 69 years young & I thank God that I got to grow up seeing all of these great artists because this time shall never come again. What a great ride. Thank you my LORD!
And me at 73 .. what a time to be alive .. the music of the rest of Our history was formed in those years .. we are all blessed .. we who lived though it all .. aamidst all the chaos that was happening .. peace.
Might as well throw my 2 cents in............while there's still such a thing as a cent! Born the middle of '53 and music is still at the forefront of my everyday living. Gone but never forgotten are the sixties and seventies for me. Lot of great stuff still out there today though.
My son (Mark Henes) is a fantastic guitarist in Nashville and yes, the gigs and locations are not what they use to be. I grew up in Montgomery, AL late 70's and Tommy Shaw's parents of Styx were my next door neighbor. We would go out to Sandy Creek campgrounds and see bands like Heart and ZZ Top? ZZ actually flew in on a helicopter and we all had our cheap sunglasses. So Cool.
I can't think of anyone since late 90s i'd listen too .... sorry to rap love Markey but 70s -90s brought art and music to a new level ty Beatles for you opened a door we need open again 💕⭐️💕💕⭐️
Nor do you see a million people recording the whole show with their smartphones. I admit I will take photos and short clips, but generally I try to enjoy concerts no matter who they are. Saw Buddy Guy in his farewell tour this year playing at 88 years old.
I think I said this elsewhere, but about 30 years ago, my Beatles loving son said confidently that NOBODY could do a Beatles song as well as the Fab Four themselves. I said, "Wait here", and went to retrieve a cassette tape of Joe Cocker, with his band and choir, and played "With a Little Help from My Friends." When it was over there was a moment of stunned silence before young Matthew said, "Well......nobody ELSE could." There are two great paths for musicians, to be the creator of music, or to be the interpreter. As an interpreter of the works of others, Joe Cocker was unsurpassed.
It is possible to cover The Beatles as well as The Beatles themselves, but only the ones that Ringo sang, like Little Help... Someone should seriously try Yellow Submarine, maybe.
I am 74 years old this year, a survivor of the 60's and 70's, and Jesus this does take me back to some very cool times. Peace to you, and thanks for sharing this.
I'm three years ahead of you old son, agree with you completely, and weren't we so, so fortunate to have grown up and lived through what was without question the BEST era of Music... EVER !! 🙏 Peace to you brother !!
Tengo 71 años y conocí la música de Joe desde el mítico "mad dogs & the English men & Joe Cocker" actualmente tengo varios cd de Joe y de muchos otros de nuestra generación, tengo aproximadamente 500-600 cd's de todos esos grupos de los 60-70 y no paro de escucharlos en esta generación hubo una calidad musical insuperable, la prueba es q niños de ,16-18 años siguen escuchando esto , claro influencia de sus padres y q bueno q lo sigan haciendo como dijo Javier Bátiz ésta música es la música clásica del futuro 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The genius of the sound of this band is the huge choir/background singers. Rock deserves this wall of voices! And it just pushes the lead singer to his fullest. Love love love
70 y. o. here. These times were more than the music. Life, the music, the people, was real, genuine. Love was in peoples hearts. Music brought it all together. Never will there be a better time to have grown up. We truly were blessed to have lived and survived the times
DogDaam- 71 yrs old here, & this is soo good for the soul- something in the way he sings! 1st hooked on Joe Cocker was an 8 track tape on loop all night- darling be home soon. Since then something about Joe Cocker connects with a most content, joyful, deep vibration within in me. What a gift! Love, always.
----fantastic live "love and peace" concert---from which LP is this concert ?----Can you help me,Mark Southall ?---the hammond organ is so very wonderful here !! ---
Rita, Claudia, Leon!!! Plus!!! Great story about Burritos 2nd album recording next door studio while Leon was rehearsing this tour. Gram was too close to Leon to pay attention to his own band. Snowfalls in LA!🎉
What a chill performance! Thank you Joe for taking me back to that place in time where life was so good, most people were good and we all got by with a little help from our friends! Flying high up where you belong❤❤😊😊❤
Leon was one of the most underappreciated musicians talented on keyboard and guitar a songwriter and basically a conductor all while looking like it was no big thing just another day RIP
When Sir Elton John got to give him his award to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame was just incredible 👏👏❤️Rest in Peace Leon Russell and Joe Cocker. Thank you for the memories 💞✌️❤️🌼
Da, ilustrații muzicale veritabile pentru că acest băiat bun și iubitor de show,a avut o coloană sonoră cromatică de vibrații pozitive ale unor spectatori ce au fost duși la extaz și euforie!!!
I'm pushing 66 and That song had people in either Madison Square Garden or Hampton Colloseium(sp)[😂], IForget😢, Singing along SO Loud that you Could Not Even HEAR The BAND!!😡
I live Jo to extremes no body touches him. Must admit I like 👍 him with his hair long parted in the middle,OMG he brushes it away I hope I get to heaven & if so I will ask the Lord Where's Jo.? Before any one else that's left before me, I'm crazy 🤪 he's the most spell binding man I've ever witnessed.💯🧔♀️❤️🩹
@@tracyworley1995 Not to be controversial, but I don't know how Leon put up with Joe. Joe had talent but almost every concert he was seriously out of it. High is one thing....Well below Leon's talent level.
Give me Leon. He had more soul than anyone. And given his bank account, more of his soul was given away to help other artists. Many years later, people are now seeing what a great talent Leon Russell was.
The drums, the keyboard, the backup vocals, JC’s voice, LR’s guitar and hat, the bystanders and public and the dog. Like someone said before, one of the top places in the list of time traveling
Ray Charles called Joe Cocker "The Man with the Most Soul"! I love that and I never get tired of Joe just pouring his heart out in music...Leon Russel, you rock too!
@Barbara White Did you also know that Ray Charles thought Joe Cocker was gifted enough to do his hit song "Unchain My Heart" justice. Joe would do "Joe's" special spin on that song and make it his own, which of course Joe always did!
That reminds me of the time that Buck Owens, after winning some music award, was asked if it was his greatest honor. Buck said that it was not even close. His greatest honor was the fact that Ray Charles had covered two of his songs.
When Joe sang this song, you can see that he could feel every note with every cell of his body, it completely took over his entire brain. Unmatched and utterly superb ...
Two great Beatles songs immortalised by the one and only, late lamented Joe Cocker accompanied by his incredible colleague Leon Russel. Brings back memories of the late 60s that we still cherish to this day!!!
100 YRS AGO - THIS SONG WAS OUR MANTRA! i'M 74 YRS, OLD, MY BROTHER WAS REVITALIZED BY THIS SONG. - HE DIED AT 35 YRS OLD (OR VERY CLOSE TO THAT AGE) LIVING IN OREGON AND BEING THE FREE SPIRIT HE ALWAYS WAS!
Midnight Movies in Houston, Texas in the 1970s is where I first saw this group of talented artists (Mad Dogs and Englishmen the movie/docu). Amazing to look back and see this now.
Saw Joe, Leon & Johnny Winter in same show in Baltimore in the 70's I think. It was kind of a blur. Went to the after party, areal blast. Saw the Beatles live, David Bowie, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Bee Gees, The Who twice. Those were the golden years for music. Nothing these days can compare, just sayin!!!
In 1969 I saw them at the Fillmore East. It was the night they recorded the live album. Trust me. It was one of the most enjoyable concert events I have ever witnessed. AND, it's documented on record.
I'm pushing 70 now and I'm glad I lived through this era. Joe, Leo, Stones, Russell Morris, and quite a few more I could list, PinK Floyd. The best in one generation. The modern music have nothing like them. Absolutely nothing. This is timeless.
Leon {RIP} was really that beautiful...only met him a couple of times, close up...in my youth. Deep, deep set eyes...beautiful. And Mr. Cocker & his entourage in Florida recording at Criteria, just people. Just "REAL" people... We've been so so very blessed over the years... Minstrels...are Angels in my mind, here to HEAL souls. Gratitude attitude... {RIP, babeZz!}🙏💔🙏
I'm 65 years old and to this day I only listen to music from those years and Joe I saw 2005 in Brussels and he's one of the most unforgettable artists from those years seen on stage and I've seen dozens of them . RIP JOE ❤
Joe Cocker had the perfect songwriting team in Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison, as he is the only artist that make a Beatles song his own to such a degree, that you forget the original version. This band is probably the ultimate All Star Ensemble (Talent wise it has not been surpassed, from the vocals to the horn section, and everything in between)
I agree with all that you say except that Joe was the only artist that made a Beatles song his own .. etc. Wrap your ears around this .. duckduckgo.com/?q=DOUG+PARKINSON+DEAR+PRUDENCE&t=lm&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnU2DSrY9A6s And try this ..... ruclips.net/video/KHnIvw7CCKk/видео.html
Jim Keltner on drums, prolific session musician for over 50 years, performed mad dogs and Englishmen, concert for Bangladesh, concert for George, played on all Travelling Wilbury albums, LEGEND 🎼 👏
This has got to be one of the greatest performances in R'n'R history - Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, a dog - Wow! Watch Rita Coolidge's interview about this concert. She said that many of the people on the stage were just there not playing an instrument or singing. Leon just wanted them hanging out. He is one of the most underappreciated geniuses in the history of modern music. Where is a time machine when we really need one? Remember, this was the next year after Woodstock. Mad Dogs and Englishmen indeed!
Wow. Leon and Joe. Today's music is as hollow as it is vulgar. This music and time period is as good as it gets. Will never be again.the musicians were powerful in the lyrics and music. Who today gives it all like Joe did? Not a single one. I am old now but wouldn't trade my youth for all the money ever made. Grew up in the absolute best time for real music.GOD BLESS 'em ALL
What do you mean off his head?These cats were professional it's hot under those lights onstage Joe liked a pint or two beforehand. Not like Jimi or Janice.
@@Jack-vy6uo I had a drink with Joe in The Dickins pub in Rotherham South Yorkshire. There was one his favorite club bands on Micky's Monkey's who did a great version of this song and Joe walked in and got on stage with them then came and sat down and had a drink, a little smoke and popped some LSD with us.
---yes-- we need very much this hippie-peace-movement again on this planet--------onto a few years later of this concert-- "Peace and Love" hippie-movement all over the world had better not been stopped--Do you agree,.appreciated Todd Whitley ?
A buddy of mine was hired as head of security for this concert. He kindly invited me to be a back stage hangout. It was quite a scene. Leon Russell really impressed me, I had never seen him before. He was clearly the ring master, and he played a hell of a guitar as well as rocking piano. At the end of the concert, when the audience had all filed out, I was standing in one of the front rows and watched as Leon came on stage and grabbed his Gibson Black Beauty and put it in the case. He was totally, totally exhausted. Completely wiped out. I'll never forget it.
My dad worshipped Leon. Recently, due to the help of Elton John Leon’s career had a second wind, and he went on a concert tour of the states, which dad gratefully attended. . A second tour was planned, but then Leon passed away, working hard right up to the end-and now so has my dad. Two irreplaceable guys.
I am here and was there at that time. (not alas at this concert) Everytime I watch and hear this song it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Both these 2 songs are special when sung by JC but this band along with the famous backing singers and of course Leon Russell will always move me more than I can say in this chat. I am well over 60 and was listening to this 45 yrs ago. I sadly haven't found any new music to even touch this.generation and am just pleased to have been there to hear it then and appreciate it all the more now.
I saw Joe at Fiddlers Green along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, just b4 Stevie died in that crash. Then saw Joe with Buddy Guy at Red Rocks. Saw Leon in his white tux n top hat, at the Little Bear in Evergreen, CO, in the early 1990's i think. Then saw Leon after he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. Search Elton John Leon Russell, Rock n Roll, n watch that. Shows Elton's character, finding Leon destitute, and getting him back to performing. I saw Leon a few years after that, b4 he died, at an old historic theater in Denver. I feel blessed to have seen such talent in person.
DELANEY AND BONNIE were there too....wow... so beautiful to see this. It was magic... and we went the Next day and bought all their albums.....then Mad Dogs and Englishmen came out.p in album format. 💘
Late night in the deserts of New Mexico and listening to this on full blast was like drinking 3 cups of very strong, kick ass coffee. I am not sleeping tonight. Perhaps I will sleep when I die.
Mad Dogs & Englishman. Only together for about a season, greatest Rock&Roll band, ever. I had the good fortune of catching them on Sunday May 3, 1970 (the day before the Kent State massacre.) It was the last act at an outdoor festival in New Paltz (ninety miles north of NYC) with about ten thousand people watching... Unquestionably the very best of the many , many great Rock&Roll shows in my lifetime.... I was a thirteen year old, wannabe hippie and slinked my way all the way to the stage and had a bird's eye view of the incredible, nearly three hour show. Leon and the band started without Joe, playing a swingy intro tune, after which he informed the audience that on the bus up, he heard somebody playing some amazing harmonica, and he knew it wasn't something he'd heard before... eventually he figured out it was the bus driver ! He then introduced the fella, who came out in front of the crowd in his Trailways uniform. He started to blow on his harp, and soon he had the entire crowd stomping up and down.... and then Joe reeled out and started up "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" - fucking magic, for the next three hours ...
Wow, How cool was that for Leon and Joe to have him come play his harp. I saw them too in March, in Detroit at their first show and it was the best! Everyone in the band was a top notch musician and Leon leading them and arranging the music and then Joe singing. You couldn't ask for more. It's the one thing I really miss about those times, the music!
Missed Joe in 69. Was thirteen then but wanted to go . Just too far from Kansas with no ride or money got to see them both in Kansas City before they died and must say Cocker was at his best.
❤ I’m almost 70 yrs old now and am so glad to have grown up with music like this, and other, great artists and songs! It’s a shame in some ways that I didn’t appreciate most of them as much then as I do now. But, although many great ones have passed away (either from age or death at a young age for other reasons) at least we have the ability of being able to still watch and listen to them - thanks to the preserved recordings, videos, etc. like we do on YT and other sites 👍👏!
This brings back my youth!!! Leon Russell has always been a favorite. Joe Cocker, I simply adore. I saw him in concert in B’ham Alabama on Tina Turner’s farewell tour. I made my 12 year old daughter go with me to the concert. She gave me the cold shoulder until Joe started singing. She is 33 now and tells people the story of that night. Yes, she appreciates my insistence on her hearing them live now. Music is such a huge part of my life. My favorite song of Joes is, you can leave your hat on!! 😊💜💋☮️
Once upon a time people felt music could change the world If we just sang loud enough and believed enough. This music is a spectacular example of faith.
It did change the world, at least for 30 years or so. I was lucky enough to meet alot of the Rock Legends. I heard a knock on my door at 7am Sunday morning, it was Jimi Hendrix's, also met Mick Jagger, Almond Brothers, Leon Russell, ZZ Top, all nice people.
60 years ago I sat in the dressing room of the Esquire Club in Sheffield waiting to meet Vance Arnold & the Avengers. That night Jo was on the threshold of going pro. He worked for the Gas Board and went around asking everyone if he should pack it up and be a full time singer. He finally got around to asking the perplexed 15 year old sat back stage - What shall I do John? My father who was club photographer took some amazing images of Joe which I have treasured forever ❤️John Vincent
Yes he certainly did ... and Leon Russell ripped him off !!!... Sang his fucking lungs out and got fucked in the arse by the people you are supposed to trust.
Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, and even Rita Coolidge as one of the backup singers - with this incredible band. What amazing performances from an incredible tour. More of the music of my youth. It lives in my heart forever, as do these wonderful humans/musicians. Praise & Blessings.
An unbelievalbe and never to be relived time in rock n roll. After all these years I can still feel the love on stage and in the auditorium blowing the lid off the place!!
Even I wasnt born yet when this people were performing this feelings, for me are real feelings that most people dont even want to recognise it..that makes my life sad, but are people that are still like you that it does feel it!! Good for us!!!❤
God I miss the 60s - 70s music.
No, they are here, just find them. I could live that 'Era'....but I am 64. You're young my friend Then Enjoy these 2 worlds. Lucky you : )
Me too 😢

Same for me at 67! God blessed us with an abundance of talent to be enjoyed in our youth!!!
And me at 73 .. what a time to be alive .. the music of the rest of Our history was formed in those years .. we are all blessed .. we who lived though it all .. aamidst all the chaos that was happening .. peace.

Agreed indeed!
Joe cocker and Leon Russell....two stars in every form of the word
Leon Russell worked with Gary Lewis and the Playboys on Liberty Records If memory serves me well
Gigs were way better back then! Thumbs up if you agree.

Foi uma época maravilhosa ❤❤❤
No internet no smartphones..just real people with heart
Assolutamente d'accordo!!!!!!

...and with amplifiers! :)

The arrangement and Joe's soul made this timeless 😅
100 YRS AGO - THIS SONG WAS OUR MANTRA! i'M 74 YRS, OLD, MY BROTHER WAS REVITALIZED BY THIS SONG. - HE DIED AT 35 YRS OLD (OR VERY CLOSE TO THAT AGE) LIVING IN OREGON AND BEING THE FREE SPIRIT HE ALWAYS WAS!
Nice memories l
Midnight Movies in Houston, Texas in the 1970s is where I first saw this group of talented artists (Mad Dogs and Englishmen the movie/docu). Amazing to look back and see this now.
The arrangements are so fluid and raw but precise. Who ever got to see these shows was treated to a fun night of rock history.
🎼 Mr Joe Cocker amazing!!! I am 68 years old. From Cucuta city in Colombia 🇨🇴 South America
Agreed, Fantastiche! Wishing well with respect and manners from beautiful Lanark County, Perth Ontario Canada.
Look at the passion going into these songs ❤ all these years and it still brings the hairs up on the back of your neck
lot of coke
Saw Joe, Leon & Johnny Winter in same show in Baltimore in the 70's I think. It was kind of a blur. Went to the after party, areal blast. Saw the Beatles live, David Bowie, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Bee Gees, The Who twice. Those were the golden years for music. Nothing these days can compare, just sayin!!!
In 1969 I saw them at the Fillmore East. It was the night they recorded the live album. Trust me. It was one of the most enjoyable concert events I have ever witnessed. AND, it's documented on record.
I'm pushing 70 now and I'm glad I lived through this era. Joe, Leo, Stones, Russell Morris, and quite a few more I could list, PinK Floyd. The best in one generation. The modern music have nothing like them. Absolutely nothing. This is timeless.
We had it all in the 60's I can't cut loose of the 60's what a trip.
December 2024. To everyone who understands what this concert contained. May you all know the love that was presented. 🇦🇺🐬🐨
december 2024 ????? it’s not here yet!!!
Leon {RIP} was really that beautiful...only met him a couple of times, close up...in my youth. Deep, deep set eyes...beautiful. And Mr. Cocker & his entourage in Florida recording at Criteria, just people. Just "REAL" people... We've been so so very blessed over the years... Minstrels...are Angels in my mind, here to HEAL souls. Gratitude attitude...
{RIP, babeZz!}🙏💔🙏
I'm 65 years old and to this day I only listen to music from those years and Joe I saw 2005 in Brussels and he's one of the most unforgettable artists from those years seen on stage and I've seen dozens of them . RIP JOE ❤
I'm a Cocker freak so call me biased but this bloke just blows me away, BRILLIANT! RIP my friend your music lives on.
I’m 68 love love loved crazy aye
Me too.
I was his backup singer every time I did housework. Good old days. Don’t do housework anymore. 🥰
Ha ha!
Joe Cocker had the perfect songwriting team in Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison, as he is the only artist that make a Beatles song his own to such a degree, that you forget the original version.
This band is probably the ultimate All Star Ensemble (Talent wise it has not been surpassed, from the vocals to the horn section, and everything in between)
I agree with all that you say except that Joe was the only artist that made a Beatles song his own .. etc.
Wrap your ears around this ..

ya know, i damn sure did!
I would hate to be one of those who gave this the thumbs down. To be so passionless, soulless, dead inside… brrrrr
Jim Keltner on drums, prolific session musician for over 50 years, performed mad dogs and Englishmen, concert for Bangladesh, concert for George, played on all Travelling Wilbury albums, LEGEND 🎼 👏
ALASBUENAS OOOOTIIAA TOY flipando NO se a quien me dirijo y...cotinuare IGUAL
B a veces no me las QUE TE HE DICHO QUE NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Jim Gordon and Mr Keltner .. dinna get much better .. peace, man. It was a great time to be alive and love music.
Jim Gordon. Jim Keltner was #2
Great Jim Keltner! He worked a lot with George Harrison, in his solo career, and in the Wilburys.
And Chris Stainton is always strongly hanging in there.
This has got to be one of the greatest performances in R'n'R history - Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, a dog - Wow! Watch Rita Coolidge's interview about this concert. She said that many of the people on the stage were just there not playing an instrument or singing. Leon just wanted them hanging out. He is one of the most underappreciated geniuses in the history of modern music. Where is a time machine when we really need one? Remember, this was the next year after Woodstock. Mad Dogs and Englishmen indeed!
and about 5 "Wrecking Crew" members.
Je suis
L
You said it all man!
"Where is a time machine when we really need one?" .. best expression of feeling !!
YOU FORGOT CHRIS STAINTON !!!
Wow. Leon and Joe. Today's music is as hollow as it is vulgar. This music and time period is as good as it gets. Will never be again.the musicians were powerful in the lyrics and music. Who today gives it all like Joe did? Not a single one. I am old now but wouldn't trade my youth for all the money ever made. Grew up in the absolute best time for real music.GOD BLESS 'em ALL
YES ❤
Yes. I’m 71 and now there is nothing out there except bull-hit.
Off his head he still puts in a better performance than most singers today.
What do you mean off his head?These cats were professional it's hot under those lights onstage Joe liked a pint or two beforehand. Not like Jimi or Janice.
@@Jack-vy6uo was he a stone ah ?? I would of said yes been from that era myself He is one of my top five fav Aussie gal ,, good if he wasn't 😮
At one point, he seems to be.melting in front of our very eyes.
Yes I have drunk a few pints back in the day in Sheffield and Rotherham @@Jack-vy6uo
@@Jack-vy6uo I had a drink with Joe in The Dickins pub in Rotherham South Yorkshire. There was one his favorite club bands on Micky's Monkey's who did a great version of this song and Joe walked in and got on stage with them then came and sat down and had a drink, a little smoke and popped some LSD with us.
One of those rare moments that the planets aligned. Amazing
---yes-- we need very much this hippie-peace-movement again on this planet--------onto a few years later of this concert-- "Peace and Love" hippie-movement all over the world had better not been stopped--Do you agree,.appreciated Todd Whitley ?
A buddy of mine was hired as head of security for this concert. He kindly invited me to be a back stage hangout. It was quite a scene. Leon Russell really impressed me, I had never seen him before. He was clearly the ring master, and he played a hell of a guitar as well as rocking piano. At the end of the concert, when the audience had all filed out, I was standing in one of the front rows and watched as Leon came on stage and grabbed his Gibson Black Beauty and put it in the case. He was totally, totally exhausted. Completely wiped out. I'll never forget it.
Wow
My dad worshipped Leon. Recently, due to the help of Elton John Leon’s career had a second wind, and he went on a concert tour of the states, which dad gratefully attended. . A second tour was planned, but then Leon passed away, working hard right up to the end-and now so has my dad. Two irreplaceable guys.
Very very envious❤Much love
I saw them together at Tampa Stadium in 1971. If my memory serves me correctly Three Dog Night opened for them.
I am here and was there at that time. (not alas at this concert) Everytime I watch and hear this song it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Both these 2 songs are special when sung by JC but this band along with the famous backing singers and of course Leon Russell will always move me more than I can say in this chat. I am well over 60 and was listening to this 45 yrs ago. I sadly haven't found any new music to even touch this.generation and am just pleased to have been there to hear it then and appreciate it all the more now.
I do wish I could go back when music was like this loved my generation
These two artists were amazing. Had the good fortune to see them in concert.
Me too... In Hawaii!
I saw Joe at Fiddlers Green along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, just b4 Stevie died in that crash. Then saw Joe with Buddy Guy at Red Rocks. Saw Leon in his white tux n top hat, at the Little Bear in Evergreen, CO, in the early 1990's i think. Then saw Leon after he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. Search Elton John Leon Russell, Rock n Roll, n watch that. Shows Elton's character, finding Leon destitute, and getting him back to performing. I saw Leon a few years after that, b4 he died, at an old historic theater in Denver. I feel blessed to have seen such talent in person.
Your so lucky
@@ansqu5258Das Lied ist der Hammer.
Saw Joe in the 80's when he had a rise in popularity.
Sang his current 80's songs with these songs added. No choir though sad.
I was born in the middle 60:s..what a time to grow up with this awesome jams
At what point do we go from this talent, incredible choirs, real music, wonderful lyrics, spectacular voices... to bad bunny and reggaeton...
Must've watched this performance a hundred times.
Definitely something special happening here.
I still get the same feeling every time I hear this song...Now, 69 years old...and it cuts through me..
DELANEY AND BONNIE were there too....wow... so beautiful to see this. It was magic... and we went the
Next day and bought all their albums.....then Mad Dogs and Englishmen came out.p in album format. 💘
Late night in the deserts of New Mexico and listening to this on full blast was like drinking 3 cups of very strong, kick ass coffee. I am not sleeping tonight. Perhaps I will sleep when I die.
Mad Dogs & Englishman.
Only together for about a season, greatest Rock&Roll band, ever.
I had the good fortune of catching them on Sunday May 3, 1970 (the day before the Kent State massacre.)
It was the last act at an outdoor festival in New Paltz (ninety miles north of NYC) with about ten thousand people watching...
Unquestionably the very best of the many , many great Rock&Roll shows in my lifetime....
I was a thirteen year old, wannabe hippie and slinked my way all the way to the stage and had a bird's eye view of the incredible, nearly three hour show.
Leon and the band started without Joe, playing a swingy intro tune, after which he informed the audience that on the bus up, he heard somebody playing some amazing harmonica, and he knew it wasn't something he'd heard before... eventually he figured out it was the bus driver !
He then introduced the fella, who came out in front of the crowd in his Trailways uniform.
He started to blow on his harp, and soon he had the entire crowd stomping up and down.... and then Joe reeled out and started up "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" - fucking magic, for the next three hours ...
Wow, How cool was that for Leon and Joe to have him come play his harp. I saw them too in March, in Detroit at their first show and it was the best! Everyone in the band was a top notch musician and Leon leading them and arranging the music and then Joe singing. You couldn't ask for more. It's the one thing I really miss about those times, the music!
Missed Joe in 69. Was thirteen then but wanted to go . Just too far from Kansas with no ride or money got to see them both in Kansas City before they died and must say Cocker was at his best.
Tin solders and Nixon comin' bro. Those times were almost as scary as NOW!
@Thomas Fleming but its still around.....and guess whos on here trolling people? you.. his analysis might suck in your mind. you simply suck in mine.
Used to work near new paltz crazy town
❤ I’m almost 70 yrs old now and am so glad to have grown up with music like this, and other, great artists and songs! It’s a shame in some ways that I didn’t appreciate most of them as much then as I do now. But, although many great ones have passed away (either from age or death at a young age for other reasons) at least we have the ability of being able to still watch and listen to them - thanks to the preserved recordings, videos, etc. like we do on YT and other sites 👍👏!
One of my favorite singers of all time. Jus classic rock music from a different generation than today’s. Amen Joe & Leon.
music that just makes your heart want to explode.
❤😊❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
AND LEON OF COURSE>...His Omnipotent Space Captain Presence..! Miss Him So....!!!
Never seen a dude sing with his hands like Joe did. We love you Joe. Still. RIP.
Joe Cocker- master of blues and soul- a wonderful singer - a tear has just fallen from my eye .. RIP Joe and keep singin !!
Love that this was forever immortalized in a vídeo ❤
Thanks Joe Cocker and Leo Russel 🙏❤️🌹🎼🎸🎤🎶Love
RIP Jim Gordon on drums, take us home Jim, wow what a concert and a tearful farewell to all, THANK YOU !
I just discovered this song, Something, today and i've been listening to it on repeat for almost an hour.... What a Gem!!
This brings back my youth!!! Leon Russell has always been a favorite. Joe Cocker, I simply adore. I saw him in concert in B’ham Alabama on Tina Turner’s farewell tour. I made my 12 year old daughter go with me to the concert. She gave me the cold shoulder until Joe started singing. She is 33 now and tells people the story of that night. Yes, she appreciates my insistence on her hearing them live now. Music is such a huge part of my life. My favorite song of Joes is, you can leave your hat on!! 😊💜💋☮️
Once upon a time people felt music could change the world If we just sang loud enough and believed enough. This music is a spectacular example of faith.
Roger Bradbury Strong words from a bright soul.
It did change the world, at least for 30 years or so. I was lucky enough to meet alot of the Rock Legends. I heard a knock on my door at 7am Sunday morning, it was Jimi Hendrix's, also met Mick Jagger, Almond Brothers, Leon Russell, ZZ Top, all nice people.
@@charlesmiller5078 spot the dealer 😁😁😁
Yea right. Grow up
❤
Im 74 years old. And this perfirmance still makes cry...!!!
Leon Russel and t-shirt "Holy Trinity"...I just love it :) This is one of the best thing in rock and roll history.
Unbelievable Been a cocker fan for over fifty years and still listen to him all the time
Brings tears to my eyes today at the age of 59 and counting..............
I am 59 also, and I can't hold back the tears either.
69 in a week. We were there in that space and time. RIP Leon and Joe.
63...Heaven is filling up on old time talent....
My kid asked, if I could live at any time, when would it be.
I said the time I lived. It was pretty amazing.
Me, too - we lived during the best music and times..... I turned 60 recently.
They Blew the Beatles Away, On This Song
Amazing, Rita and Claudia, Leon on guitar.....I never get tired of watching this!
Something in the way he performs ... rocks me like no other rocker!
One of his live performances with Jennifer Warnes, singing Up Where We Belong: ruclips.net/video/and0PHmJHc8/видео.html ♥
This to me is the best cover version of any song ever. Just brilliant.
Joe Cocker Ze mad dogs and ze Englismen
Bloody beautiful / love you Joe, Leon and the whole crew that made the MDAE tour such an event. They were concerts for the decades..
Joe Cocker brings back soooo many memories😁…I’m 69 and remember every word…
Beautiful! Everyone seems so at peace....everyone.....even the little dog.
The doggy is gorgeous 🐾🐾🐶❤️❤️❤️ The music is Amazing 👏👏👏👏
Love them playing together - everybody needs a little help from a friend...sometimes...let's be this friend.
60 years ago I sat in the dressing room of the Esquire Club in Sheffield waiting to meet Vance Arnold & the Avengers. That night Jo was on the threshold of going pro. He worked for the Gas Board and went around asking everyone if he should pack it up and be a full time singer. He finally got around to asking the perplexed 15 year old sat back stage - What shall I do John?
My father who was club photographer took some amazing images of Joe which I have treasured forever ❤️John Vincent
Im44. And. I’m still. Listening. Enjoying. Like 1 st. Time. That. Was. Art. Really. Art. On. This. Can. Letters.
He put a lot of honesty and energy into it. It just blows me away how talented He and Leon Russell Really are.
Yes he certainly did ... and Leon Russell ripped him off !!!... Sang his fucking lungs out and got fucked in the arse by the people you are supposed to trust.
Damn Right!!
Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, and even Rita Coolidge as one of the backup singers - with this incredible band. What amazing performances from an incredible tour. More of the music of my youth. It lives in my heart forever, as do these wonderful humans/musicians. Praise & Blessings.
Listening to Joe Cocker sing is pure emotion!
An unbelievalbe and never to be relived time in rock n roll. After all these years I can still feel the love on stage and in the auditorium blowing the lid off the place!!
Just true natural talent god bless them
