    I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He was an English singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice & dynamic stage performances that featured expressive body movements. He recorded a few Beatles' songs "With A Little Help From My Friends", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" & "Something". Other hits were "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Jennifer Warnes), "Delta Lady", "Darling Be Home Soon", "Cry Me A River", "Feelin' Alright", "The Letter" etc.

    Joe Cocker makes "With a Little Help from My Friends" his own with this performance from Woodstock. "You Are So Beautiful" was his big hit in the seventies. "With a Little Help from My Friends" is one of his signature songs. His 1970 live album, Mad Dogs & Englishmen, ranks high on the list of great concert albums. It featured a top notch horn driven blues rock band with a backing choir of a dozen voices -- "Feelin' Alright" and "The Letter" are a couple of stand out tracks from it. Rita Coolidge, Donna Washburn, Claudia Lennear and others provide the backing vocals, Jim Price launches into a bebop trumpet solo on "The Letter" that Bobby Keys picks up and carries forward in a sax solo for the ages. Check them out when you can.

      There were so many artists who gave superlative performances at Woodstock in 1969. And of course Joe Cocker's rendition of this song is wonderful. But because of the by logistical difficulties of reaching a rural area of New York state when 400,000 people turn up for a music festival, most Joe Cocker's 30+ ensemble from his "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" never made it. This is what it sounds with the whole musical ensemble:

I got to go to Woodstock 94 at the age of 18 and Joe Cocker was there as well. His performance at the 69 Woodstock was phenomenal. Also grew up on the TV show 'The Wonder Years' that first came out in 88 that the intro song was a Little Help from my Friends. One of my other favorites he did was 'Up Where we Belong'.

    The Grease Band here (if my ancient memory serves) are: Henry McCullough, guitar: Alan Spenner, bass: Bruce Rowland, drums and the unseen, but definitely heard, Chris Stanton on keys. As mentioned the band contributed backing vocals as the girl backing singers were lost to the Woodstock road chaos. I’m a huge fan of The Who and their Woodstock performance is excellent, but the act that stole the show in the film (of course I wasn’t actually there!) for me was Sly And The Family Stone.

    JAYY, you need to watch the movie “Woodstock: 3 Days Of Peace And Music directors cut” on RUclips. There were so many excellent acts at that show, but it was also much more than just music. The movie is an experience you’ll never forget. You can also get the DVD or Blu-ray with all the extras.
    Of course, with 3 days of music from 32 different acts, there’s only so much they could fit into a movie. But the performances in the movie are all incredible. Jimi Hendrix was the last one to perform, and the movie only features edited versions of 3 of his songs, but can watch the movie “Jimi Hendrix Live At Woodstock” on RUclips for his full concert. This was where he played “The Star Spangled Banner” and it was a very big deal at the time because of the way he played it.

    The guys singing the background part are actually their bass player and guitarist.

    After the song, I absolutely /loved/ your expression- could almost hear the cartoonish, "tink-tink... tink* as you blinked your eyes. Same way I imagined I, and most others, looked when we first saw this performed.

    I saw Joe at the brand-new Niagara Falls Convention Center (Now the Seneca Nation Casino) in Niagara Falls. He was so drunk he staggered all over the stage, lost his balance multiple times but never fell, and his pants were completely split up the back, pink tush clearly visible. And his performance was entirely unaffected, he was great!

    My mother met him as he was came supporting his friend, my cousin's husband, whos in the music industry, when my cousin was dying. He was a wonderful man who had a birth defect that affected his arms. Looks to me to be a form of cerebral pacey. His son was born with very severe birth defects. I love this song and this man!

    On the record version he has soul sisters singing the backups. Backups sound better on that but this is a cool version. I love the B-3 Hamond organ on this

      The back ups got stuck in Woodstock traffic.

    Stunned silence, great reaction. Woodstock brought out the best in just about everyone who performed there. The Beatles wrote this song, but John, Paul, George and Ringo NEVER played it like this. For a bit of comic relief, if you want to, check out the John Belushi parody performance from Saturday Night Live, with Joe Cocker watching. Hilarious. Next song from Woodstock to check is Country Joe MacDonald doing "The Fixin'-To-Die-Rag", aka "The Viet Nam Song". one man with a borrowed acoustic guitar in front of 400,000 people, and he has them on their feet at the end. A gutsy performance if ever there was one. Preceded by the infamous F-I-S-H cheer. LOL.

    Joe can sing harmony as well as this gravelly, gritty Blues. Check out Joe Cocker with Jennifer Warnes "Lift Us Up Where We Belong".

    Absolutely terrific! So glad Jayy reacted to this! (I dig the back-up singer. Heard he stood in for the woman who couldn't make it there on time.)

    "With a Little Help from My Friends" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, from their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and sung by drummer Ringo Starr.

    Jayy, I think you will absolutely love this version of the same song. This is from Joe's Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour. His band has about 40 people in it with a troupe of back up singers, horn section, several drummers, it REALLY good. Dare I say awesome. His band is sprinkled with top notch musicians, among them, Jim Gordon, Leon Russell, Chris Stainton, Rita Coolidge and others. Definitely worth a listen.

    John Lennon and Paul McCartney both said this is their favorite cover of a Beatles song. The backup singers were supposed to be females. They got stuck in the massive traffic jam leading to the concert at Woodstock The guys singing backup were a quick add-in. They are members form different bands, but honestly can't remember which ones... The album version has females...

    Joe has "soul epilepsy" lol. The music moved through him like he was a tuning fork. The male Janis Joplin. Joe normally had female backup singers. They didn't get to the show on time (or something like that), so his bandmates did the best they could to fill in. Check out the studio version for a better quality audio.

    Hello Jayy! Although you stated at the start of this reaction that you were overwhelming told to watch the Woodstock version of this amazing cover by Joe Cocker, it is a Beatles song after all, the absolute best performance by Mr. Cocker, and not just my opinion, is the live version from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour! Please, if you enjoy this reaction version, as you obviously did, I implore you to watch the version I mentioned! No shade to Woodstock, but Mad Dogs version is sublimely better! 👍

    • @foureyes264
      @foureyes264 Год назад +1

      Absolutely! Having actual female backing vocalists lifts the song so much. And of course having Leon Russell as MD certainly helps as well.

    There were serious traffic problems around Woodstock, so Joe's backup singers did not make it . . . The guys in the band filled in as backup, as best they could, and it turned out allright.
    Joe is awesome anyhow!!!!

    Paul MCartney, who wrote this song for the Beatles, gave it to Joe Cocker after hearing him sing it.
