Lyrics :
Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way,it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key
Chorus :
Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
I'm not feelin' good myself enough, (uh oh)
Well,feelin' alright, (uh oh)
Well,I'm Not feelin' good myself,(uh oh)
Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and I wonder why
And when I think of you I stop myself from cryin'
I Just can't waste my time I must get by
I got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Because there's too much to do before I die
Well,
Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
I'm not feelin' good myself,baby, (uh oh)
Feelin' ooooo,(uh oh)
I'm not feelin' good myself, (uh oh)
Piano Solo :
Intro Part :
Don't you get too lost in all I say
But at the time you know I really felt that way
Cauze I said that was then and now you know it's today
I can't escape I guess I'm here to stay now
Just until someone comes along and take my place
With a different name and a different face
Chorus with ad libs then fade - Видеоклипы
Until this day I do not understand why this great singer is not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he is truly a legend.
Does not need no stinking hall of fame
Who cares? We know how great he is. He doesn’t need their recognition, he is above that
Not important, saw him many times before being famous, he knew, trust me he knew- Oh, you're right.
@lancethiele damn straight he is. The hall of fame is a corporate joke. Bunch of snobs who pick who they are "paid" to pick. WE the FANS of rock n roll know what is up
Unimportant and overrated like all awards are
Nobody puts as much of their soul into their music as Joe Cocker.
What about James Brown? What about Little Richard?
maybe jimmy barnes
John Belushi did
Him and Janis Joplin
@@gregroberson802 good point
I'm 68 and will always love this music. This new generation doesn't know what their missing.
Got that right. I saw Joe Cocker twice. 1974 and 2003. He got better with time. I still have the hat, unworn and sits on top of my bar. Great memories. Born in the 1950's.
Reaction videos are bringing back some really good old stuff and the newbies are saying "holy crap."

Lass sie ruhig denken. Sie Wissen nicht was sie alles verpasst haben. Übe Nachsicht 😊
Amen brother . It's a shame because they may never find out either and that's terrible .
AGREE!!
This is a kick-ass band and joe cocker was on fire!!!!!!today's artist cannot make music like this !!!!!!!
Agree
Sure they can. Come on that’s silly. 🙄
Amigo no tienes idea de lo que dices esto era y es lo MAS@@FYMASMD
За@@FYMASMD
Saw this band @ Woodstock, then again at the Fillmore East. Early use of live bands using a horn section. Joe is fabulous at covering R’ n Roll tunes. Great band, great tunes , great shows!
Music literally took over this man's body.
yes when i was tchr.
i showed autistic children
it was ok to move like joe
lost my licence.
@@rrichards3399😂👍
Hard to believe but joe was only about 26 here.
Joe got so possessed by the music, it’s deep down in his very soul.
Yeah, I think it was probably more the heroin, but we'll go with "music."
One of the greatest here.Joe Cocker belting it out AND Leon Russell playing guitar and it just cant get much better! Takes me back to happier times and that's a good thing!
Indeed…! Some of the best times ever. Listening to the “Mad Dog and Englishman’s” album with my buddies, sitting around with our guitars….DAMN..those were GREAT TIMES..Thanks for the memories….!
Oh my goodness I missed such concert 😭Wow! La creme du rock💕Joe Cocker, Leo and the Saxo guy 💕✨💕✨I’ve watched this video thousands of times 😂
Agreed!
yes indeed!!!
exactly!!!!
Performances like that should outlive all of us.
l agree with you, indeed joe cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏🙏
They will!
What a version of this song! Leon Russel, Chris Stainton, Jim Gordon, Carl Radle and of course Joe Cocker on vocals, INCREDIBLE BAND. What a GROOVE
Stainton has been a great keyboard player since ..... well, forever.
our generation...babbby yeah
Joe never played with Leon again after this but they sure made Magic for a minute
Jim Gordon AND Jim Keltner on drums. Wow.
And a generous pinch of Bobby Keys....
Nobody ever talks about how much the Congo drums always brings to the table
Yes we do! One more thing to love about this.
@@66impala71 Paul McCartney had a party in California one time and it was on the condition that there was only one band and he got to pick it . He picked professor long hair and the professor took his Congo player with him
Love me some Paul McCartney, conga drums, mad dogs, Fess, Dr. John, and a great Macca story...
@@timothyproksch2915 Who is professor long hair? Is that supposed to be Leon?
@@karenr.sternberg1920 i guess so
Leon shouldn't be forgotten because he's responsible for this arrangement.
Absolutely! He’s not even mentioned as part of the band!!! 😳
He should be remembered because he was one hell of a songwriter, pianist, singer performer, etc.
Leon had absolutely nothing to do with the arraignment for 'Feelin' Alright'. This is the same arraignment as the original '69 version - long before Russell joined the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour.
@@craigrasmussen3559 - Thank you. 👏
Yes! Leon was the bandleader...conductor if you will!
Wonderful to see Leon Russell on guitar and leading the band.
He seemed to enjoy sneeking around behind Joe amusing him. ❤
Fell in love with him at age 14 in 1969. Saw him at a concert at Soldier Field. Saw him throughout my life. His poster above my bed. Woo hoo. Adored this man his music and lyrics. The best.
Wow I grew up with this stuff too thanks to Mom, You are so lucky to have seen him with the Grease Band in 69. I was only 8 in 69 but have all the memories.
@@joannah1477 most of the lyrics were not his. Love him. Hung out with him.
@@susanedrington4878 really. And whose were they?
I'm speechless. So incredibly good. Joe Cocker was one of the greatest of his generation!
The “Mad Dog and Englishman’s” album is one of my lifetime favorites. So much energy, so much groove.
One of my first albums.
@@mr.d8214 Pour moi aussi, énorme!
I bought it after I saw the movie.
Saw them live at the Fillmore. Best show ever.
@@ecobuilder508 Lucky.
Cocker and Russell...truly a match made in music heaven.
Not really(!?). I think Leon Russell ripped him off $$ on the 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' tour
That would be Joe and Chris Stanton (Keyboards) Leon wasn’t very nice to Joe ..😢
Joe is immortal..never made a bad record.a guy who "had no voice"😅. didn't write many songs , didn't play an instrument,..he just knew what to do,the music was everything..
These are not your typical human beings. Leon and Joe both look like wildmen at times. I takes a wildman to have the confidence to get up in front of people and make music that free, that good and that soulful. They were a constant pleasant surprise.
these guys gave 110% everytime they got going @@velvetbees
He's Great
He's was Honestly Brilliant ❤
Let s don't 4 get THE GREAT LEON RUSSELL 😢 HE EVERYWHERE ❤
Leon Russell's effect and contribution to our music is beyond comparison.
True!
@@amyshehi4731 I got to see Leon a couple years before he died in a small venue in Davenport, Iowa. I have been to many concerts since my 1st in '73 (Chicago) and this is one of my top 3.
The voice, the soul, the herky jerky movements, man, I just love me some Joe. This is real music, when talent and ability counted. Its sad to think Joe would not make it today in the corporate sanitized music world. Glad I grew up in the 60’s.
I also grew up in the 60's and I agree with you totally. I did manage to finally see him in London later in his career and loved it. His version of "Whiter Shade of Pale" was magnificent. My sister and I had his first album when we were in high school - still love his songs "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Sandpaper Cadillac" and "Do I Still Figure In Your Life" - can never forget them.
This "good old days" mentality happens each generation, regardless of the quality of the music. What such commenters are lamenting is not the lost music, but their lost youth.
@@johntechwriter you are absolutely correct. When I listen to the music of my past it takes me back to those days, conjures up happy, and sometimes, sad memories. We mostly view our youth as full of happiness and the music of the time adds the themes. Still doesn’t change the fact music was better then. It is what we heard in our formative years that influences us throughout life. Good comment by you.
@@roberthickerty390every generation has its great music and its WTF music. I grew up listening to Joe Crocker, Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin. I'm also listening to modern groups like Durand Jones and the Indications, Ghost Hounds, and Nightwish just to name a few. We have more ways to access good music than we've ever had, and if you're judging today's music by what is readily available rather than using the tools available, well no wonder you're feeling melancholic. Good music is still here waiting for you to find it. Have a great day 😊🎶.
@@geminigrrl66 it is not so much that there is not as much good music it is rather the lack of individualism. I myself like Nightwish and a lot of the younger blues artist are great but innovative groups like these don’t get on the radio much or onto Spotify like recommend lists. I am sure there were guys my age in the 60’s complaining about the new music and how they just didn’t have talent like Benny Goodman or Artie Shaw. My main complaint is the corporate nature of music now. Also, could you imagine Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan or Rod Stewart trying out on American Idol?
You gotta love Joe......and this was a KICK ASS band with Leon and those incredible background singers.....why this man is not in the rock and roll hall of fame is beyond me
Long overdue. Totally deserving. True rocker with numerous masterpiece covers. headCases @ Hall of Shame have zero credibility like piss poor Oscars. Both organisations just trash themselves with idiotic decisions and are past their 'use by' date.
Já está.
Rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame sucks anyway
Right, nice one camera man, not one single shot of the Space Choir..........................
best version of this song WAS DONE BY RARE EARTH!!!!!!!!
Two greats, Joe and Leon. ❤❤
With Bobby Keyes, best sax player, Leon Russell and Chris Staiton on piano, OMG
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of
beautiful days.
hello pat how are you doing i hope you are doing good
joe at Woodstock was the best set anyone did.legend.
Him or hendrix
I was born in the wrong decade. It's a small consolation to have the technology to see/hear what I missed.
+BLT4LIFE thanks to the magic of technology you can see what it was like back then
+BLT4LIFE I saw him a few years ago at a winery gig here in New Zealand. At 60+ years old he was still fuckin amazing.
As great as it is, its not just the music, the culture that gave rise to the music was extraordinary. To be young is always a good thing but to have been young in the 1960's, that was truly special!
Saw them live.. what a great show
Yea, you should been there, it was great live!!!
What a choir of angels on backup vocals.
one cutie who really enjoyed the moment
Leon pulled this together in what - 11 days? Absolutely amazing. Have been listening to it since I was a pre-teen, and now I am on social security.
Yup....74 here.
Same here, and I still love it. I'm a guitar player and I learned all the songs on the album when I was young.
The song was written by Dave Mason and Steve Winwood, of The Traffic, that is for it is so good song. Joe Cocker made the best version that's right.
If I'm not mistaken, the pianist playing at this performance appeared to be Chris Stainton, who regularly played with Joe Cocker.
Phenomenon!! I saw him in ‘78 at a tiny club playing piano~singing @ age 19x. Time stood still and I stared…30ft away, had no idea who he was then. Would have loved to have seen this tour…Omg…spiritual🎉😅
😻
Chris Stainton is truly a great keyboardist.
I believe there is film version of Leon Russell playing the piano parts on stage.
Leon was probably too stoned that day. He was not the only one that got stoned in the 60s and 70s.
I often flew with Mary Jane on flights I don't remember.
I think I may have seen Joe Cocker. Maybe?
Oh and Leon died before the 1st wireless guitar plugin was patented and made. 1975.
What got me to divorce Mary Jane was calculus. Hang out with her on Sunday. Too much brain fog on Monday.
Music era that will never be duplicated! Lived it! Loved it!
I have friends who don't like Joe and his flailing around, but for me it is the best part of his performance, to get really into the song he is expressing the guitar, piano, drums, playing with his hands and body movements, and the groans of agony that we humans experience "you sure took me for one bad ride, even now I sit and wonder why" Never be another like Joe!
He felt it everytime performed, this is his probably his best band but was great with the fusion jazz band stuff in the late 70s
He is the essence of the 60;s and some of the 70's with the "flailing" around. He's a free man. He doesn't care what anyone thinks. He allows himself to feel everything and express it all. He's free where it counts -- in spirit.
He had synesthesia, which occurs when someone translates one sense into another sensory experience. In music, a person more typically would say they really saw colors or images when they hear the music, especially if they closed their eyes. Cocker’s version converted it into a physical, feeling sense.
@@HughCorbyCruick I had that synth... that snyth ...that thing that you said in the 1970s.
Every time I dropped acid.
@@stephenpain9236 You therefore had drug-induced synesthesia.
Thank you Lord for giving me the chance to see Mr. Cocker twice: 1974 and 2003. I was brought to tears in '03.
That band had some of the best musicians who ever played rock and roll!
They really felt it ~ Joe literally felt.the air like no one else ~ Dudes of Rock'n Soul.💋
Hold me some standin' room.up in Heaven
Listen to the Delaney and Bonnie tour previous to this. Basically the same band.
@@machtschnell7452 and had the great Eric Clapton George Harrison playing guitar together
Not actually Rocknroll- more Rand B
True that.
Had the pleasure to see Leon play and jam with Willie Nelson at his July 4th picnic in 1997. Still cooking....still righteous....magic never dies.
Only man who could play all of the instruments - at the same time. 🤣
Love the comment, how true~~
You forgot the talented Leon Russell!!
Bought this album when it came out. Played it visiting my aunt in Dallas and her neurosurgeon husband, this music transcended generations, we all rocked to it at night preparing, eating and after dinner on my uncles cool sound system. What special memories. Auntie is still alive at 89 but refuses a phone or PC so I can't send this to her. It's a shame as she'd love it. Her husband just died at 91.
Well my dear person, I am turning 80 this month and I so do appreciate your sweet narrative of this lovely memory that we share in a way. Print out your message and mail it to her, the old fashioned way, in an envelope with a stamp on and a pic of the album cover!❤🩹
An absolute great idea!
Great recollection! We all loved Joe! Still do!
I liked Joe Crocker as a singer back in the day. The rock and roll music of the 60's, 70's 80's will never ever die.
As long as todays crap doesn't kill it !
I remember seeing this movie when it came out and I now own it on DVD. I did manage to see Joe before he passed and it was awesome. My daughter went to a Hansen concert years ago and Leon was playing with them. It shocked me but how cool she saw him in concert.

Thanks Andranik, I'm a 69 year old musician from Jersey who can't say any more than what's already been said.This group of musicians rank as the very best right up to today. Peace, Rocky
Peace can't be permitted to "leave the building" ✌🏼B
How is this guy not in the Rock and roll hall of fame ?
Hard to believe that he is not!
The Hall of Fame should be trying to get into Joe's world, not the other way around.

Cause it's crap? Go rnr Dolly....l
Smh
BECAUSE DRUGS, DEMENT, PARKINSON,,,,,,,
I feel sorry for any vocalist whose hit song is covered by Joe Cocker. Because from the delivery of the first line, that song is HIS.
The Beatles got paid every time they played Joe’s version of With A Little Help FMF.
He sure did; phenomenal talent.
He was one of them artists…all the while complimenting the original
Beatles songs being done used to be my worst nightmare, but hearing Joe Cocker doing them I'm good! ❤
Still like Traffic's original better.
Real singer, Real musicians, playing REAL music. It was so great to listen again again to this. Loved watching the video. Joe has the wild eyes as he pulls every note from his throat and the jerky conducting moves is so classic.
God I miss Joe Cocker! He's definitely one of a kind. Nobody compares to him.
l agree with you, indeed joe cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏🙏
I could put this on repeat and still wouldn’t get tired of listening ❤️
Doing just that as I read your post. :)
I’m
With
You
Brother
❤❤❤
Joe Cocker is simply the best also check out Leon's top hat. Thank you
It was a legendary tour, with legendary musicans and a legendary adventure...still miss these times
SAW THIS SHOW, WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO. 71? .... WHAT A NIGHT. Van knocked me out.

hello cynthia how are you doing i hope you are doing good
Joe Cocker had the ability to take any song and make it his own. Did it with so many, including the Beatles, Randy Newman, Traffic, and others. Gone too soon.
This one of my all time favorite songs. I feel incredibly lucky to have been a young man who got to enjoy such an incredible musical era. I am now 71 years old and the more I hear songs like this, the more that I appreciate them. I am sorry but there is just no comparison when you compare music from that era to what they are now passing for music.
No one seems to mention Leon's Brilliance with the Guitar... His Unparalleled Music/ Songwriting sencablity is on Fire in Feeling Alright with The Mad Dogs
For real leon russel ❤❤❤❤❤❤have seen him in essen with invaluds on stage joe doing his spastic hair..😊❤❤❤❤
Leon was probably the most under-rated musician of all time.. People in the business knew and respected his work, but most of his career was spent making other artist's sound a lot better...
And the piano!
Leon is amazing what a man WOW love him❤😊❤
Elton's wet dream.
Dave Mason composed this song with Traffic. All this version has is Chris Stainton, Leon Russel, Bobby Keys playing with Joe Cocker singing lead vocals and Rita Coolidge, etc. singing back-up. Amazing. Why don't we have talent like this anymore?
The drummer Jim Gordon murdered his mom.
Ah, Traffic! Dear mister Fantasy was an iconic album!
@@VictorRochaGaming Two great drummers; along with Jim Gordon there was Jim Keltner too
Oh. I was wondering who the great piano player was; I didn't recognize him since I've only seen Stainton as an old (but still great) guy.
Carl Radle and Jim Gordon from the dominoes. Greatest stage band ever assembled.
The mad dog’s album is top five live LPs of all time!!killer album
That opener is practically peerless. Banger from word go.
l agree with you, indeed joe cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was some concert Joe Cocker singing and Leon Russell on piano and guitar. Miss the 70's. Getting old sucks.

hello suz how are you doing i hope you are doing good
Chris Stainton on piano and he is still playing today, Leon on guitar, todays music can even compare to this!
Thanks for pointing out Chris because everyone should be credited & I didn't know who he was, but I do know Leon only got the best musicians to perform with.
@@SlinkygalChris has been playing since 1960, he has played with so many great artists, he has been touring worldwide with Clapton since early 2000, he doesn't get a lot of exposure on stage!
Levon Helms guitar.
Tedeschi Trucks Band is comparable today. Infact they did an entire Mad Dogs and Englishmen tribute tour.
@@CapeBass508you are correct, I'm talking about other genres of music not blues and rock, Susan has one of the best voices in the business and her guitar skills are unbelievable, her husband's guitar skills are phenomenal!
Their band makes an outstanding effort in every song play, they put their heart and soul into their music!
my all time favorite rip joe
Joe was in a class of his own! Great singer/performer. Distinctive voice and style.
I love both Joe and Leon, great musical experience
this band is just alive with life, just cant find old school anymore and the new music is border line crap, all produced to death , just to market and make cash, this is life and artistry love it.
Yes indeed Leon Russell gots some moves dancing all over that stage playing his guitar 😄. Great song this group had alot of fun singing this song and did it well.
Leon is so darn sexy! I happened upon him at a club @ age 19x. Was an ethereal experience as I hadn’t heard of him before. He was about 30ft away plunking~singing alone at his upright piano. This was in ‘78😅
😻
It’s amazing how fantastic they preformed in spite of how many drugs and alcohol was in their blood streams !!!
Leon Russell (g) and Chris Stainton (p) got the funk. Such an amazing performance.
There you go, first ever single I bought was Leon Russell ""Hard Rain's" and I never knew he played guitar, thought he was a piano man, what a buzz to see him jammin' with Joe on one of my favourite songs...
Thank God for Leon Russell. Without his efforts the mad dogs and Englishman tour would never have happened. Used to have the vinyl years ago. And had the tour on VHS tape. Bloody brilliant.
i saw it in a theater when it first came out. having more than one frame on the screen at the same time was considered innovative, believe it or not
Russell is the real hero of this album Quite a story about how it developed. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform in Phila. the wildest concert i cared to go to
Must be weird not to have grown up with this sort of music, like I did, thank God. Joe was in my life since I was 12.
As was Leon in my life; the “Tulsa Sound” master of space and time.
Even weirder is the thought that lives were lived and lost before this music was created. At least the younger generation can hear it.
@@riverraisin1 Really? Didn't know that! 🤣😎
I have seen Joe Cocker live several times over the decades and I never was disappointed. What a singer. Always delivered. And always accompanied by great musicians, especially on keys!
Always on Time and on Pitch...every time!!!
Grateful to have seen him in England at a University and got right up front with Karen & Steven Pierce. What a night 🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️
l agree with you, indeed joe cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love Traffic, but this version Is really outstanding
Best air guitarist of all time.
Another pure classic that never gets old.
I had the pleasure of seeing this Mad Dogs and Englishmen concert in Dallas, 1970. Absolutely, the best and most memorable concert I've ever seen, even overshadowing the Beatles, 1964 USA Tour.
The Brits were good in studio but they never groved like us Yanks 😂 lol
Saw them in April, 1970 outdoors in Chapel Hill, NC. It was near the end of the tour and they were clearly worn down. Cocker was drinking straight gin from the bottle and paused midsong to throw up off the side of the stage. Because there were so many people on stage, it was hardly noticed. And Joe went right back to singing. And drinking.
What a privilege to be there 🤗✨💕💫What a concert I missed. I was a young girl back in Venezuela where we love Joe Cocker.
I saw them 1970 also at Franklin & Marshall
College in Lancaster, Pa. Fantastic show have always loved Joe and Leon. One of my
Favorite concerts ever
I saw the Mad Dogs and Englishman concert at the Filmore East and it was the best concert I ever saw. So much talent, I even saw the Beatles in 1964 and it was great but a different era and you can't compare.
I bought mad dogs on cassette tape. back then double records were recorded on thinner tape than a regular single LP due to the weight of the reels. I played it so many times. Delta Lady, Space Captain, Cry me a River, the Letter....I snapped it within a month. repaired it w some scotch tape on the backside and kept on playing it till I snapped it again. LoL.
When Cocker began to sing a spirit takes possession of him and you got something more than human.
Magnificent how Joe plays the piano and guitar at the same time
Best soul rocker ever, love his performances
great keyboard
l agree with you, indeed joe cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏🙏
This was gone for a long time. I'm elated to see it again. CLASSIC
Joe and Leon...fantastic rendition! Killer background singers and horn section. Love it...thanks for posting.
Того
I watched this just to see Leon❤. Love Jilly
Leon was such a cool dude.
Incredible voice from back then right up to love lift us up, nobody can sing that song like Joe
Dude was such a talent. RIP Joe...we all miss you.
A frontman’s job is to get the audience into it; how could anyone not respond when Mr Cocker is so very much there and putting out so well. I admit to tears welling up as I see this again. And those singing ladies! Rita was…. 19 ?!! Church music….I’m feelin’ alright.
Love it!!! Love it! Yes
Wish I'd have seen Joe live.
I love this shit. All soul. When you wonder what the hell old Joe's on Leon Russell comes strolling through the background, feeling pretty good himself.
What a gifted soulful voice and an amazing unique style. RIP
I got to see Joe Cocker in 1981 in NYC. He blew the roof off the place, it was amazing! But I've really been nuts for Leon since I first saw him at the Fillmore East when (unknown) Elton John was his opening act. Imagine that.
Man as a child my dad was a road hand for Mad dog and Englishmen. Then went on to do it for Leon Russell. I had a far out childhood ! Seen some things as a child and had the opportunity to see Mr. Russell and his wife perform on the SNL stage.
He felt, lived it . Thanks to his visual I felt it too. God bless him.
At 69 yrs old I reflect often of bands I saw live in concert. When I watch these videos the memories come flooding back always putting a grin on my face. It was real music played by real musicians with real instruments. Your chest would vibrate from the sound as the music blared through your soul. Damn I feel so lucky that I witnessed that rock and roll explosion in the 60's & 70's.
The great rhythm section between Carle radle and jim Gordon.
What, is Jim Keltner chopped liver?
@@davidgibbs381 nope jim is part one the best groups ever travelling willburys.
@@ninjavigilante5311 - Check the album credits, there were two drummers plus you can see the two drum kits on the stage. The other drummer is Jim Keltner.
Actually, there was three drummers,a percussionist and a conga player .
Check the credits on the vinyl first edition thoroughly.........
Chuck Blackwell is the third, credited with*"percussion/ drums"and Sandy Konikoff on percussion with Bobby Torres on congas
You can also see the third drumset crammed into the backline and, even though he is only credited with "percussion", Sandy Konikoff visibly hope on it and is playing with the Jim's as third kit drummer, and sometimes Blackwell would be third with Konikoff on percussion.Usually,they stuck to just two on drumset and two on percussion with Bobby Torres on congas.However, the third drumset played by Blackwell, is also played by Konikoff, and Rita Coolidge said in an interview that, sometimes they would use four!
Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner were the mainstays on drums, with Gordon occupying the "first chair" position.Keltner himself once said that Gordon was a better player than him.
This is the secret to a great cover- you take a good song and you MAKE IT YOUR OWN!.
Joe Cocker - one of the greatest
We who lived that golden era know we had the greatest music cornucopia that will ever come. We relive our good fortune with huge knowing smiles as we see current youth or those who were hijacked by something nowhere near the equal but who now discover the extraordinary art they missed. We are more than happy to see this treasure trove dusted off, shining bright and on our airwaves once again. So full of life it will never die.
No words could describe!
Must have been one of the best live combos of that time. Most excellent!
I had the pleasure of attending @ least two of his concerts live

Hello Zo how are you doing hopefully you are doing good?
Simple two chord song. Nothing terribly fancy going on there What a groove !!
Incredibly raw talent, and having a BLAST performing your art.
Now IT'S all light shows and fireballs and fluff.
WOW -that is a young Joe Cocker
You can hear from Leon Russel's guitar playing that he's an excellent pianist.
Leon Russell is NOT playing the piano on this!!! You can actually see him putting on his guitar and jamming away. You can also clearly see him playing guitar throughout the video.... no piano this time... look at the video closer and you will see. In addition, the piano player sounds nothing like the great Leon Russell, just sayin'. Peace out!
🤣
I had to like your comment but not in agreement, but because its a mildly amusing sarcastic comment made hilarious by the reply! 😂
@@j.d.emmerson722 Reading is a multifaceted process involving word recognition, comprehension, fluency, and motivation. Take your time and re-read the comment to which you responded.
@@j.d.emmerson722 I think you missed the point. Leon actually had to take guitar lessons.
Cool song! Originally done by Traffic, whom I always liked .
The best version of this song I have heard.
From a much simpler time ahh memories just classic. R.I.P JOE COCKER😎
Watching Leon conduct with his 335 and checking in when they come in off the beat....and bringin' them back on to it......genius!
Think I was 16 yrs old when I had the honor to hear Mad Dogs and English men. I was completely blown away!!! The band was so damn tight, unbelievable!!! Real musicians!!!
One of my favorite clips. Joe and the band are really cooking here - a legendary performance. Love it when he is getting right into it. He "plays" several instruments as the music courses through and out of his body. Thanks again RUclips and uploader A.A.
Lotsa ppl covered Mr. Mason's song BUT NO ONE DID IT BETTER THAN MR. COCKR
drugs will do that to ya
And performed also by magnificent artists, God Bless Them All !!!
One of my life's fantasies is to have been a back-up singer for one of these Joe Cocker & Leon Russell revues, like the greatest honkytonk party ever!
