Joe Cocker does an amazing rendition of this masterpiece of a song. But the band excellent and is spot on with so much nuance and feeling. Shows you don't have to shred the guitar or smash the drum kit to make wonderful music. Loved this version.
This is one of those songs where it's hard to top the original, because it's not about text book singing or guteral power, it's about turning a phrase with soft soulful expression. That said, Joe could sing anything & I'd love it.
This song should be played every year to the voters for the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. What the heck are they thinking not having this unbelievable singer in the hall?
We were fortunate to see this great artist three times, the last song at the last concert, ("You are so beautiful ") he just missed, just, the final high note, then he apologised. Probably the finest voice in rock and blues. A privilege to see and hear.
When your body feels it, really, really feels it, your vocal perfection is never needed. With that said, Joe does this song so much justice. One of my all time go to songs to chill to. Bravo Sir, Bravo.
I'm so glad that I seen Joe Cocker at the Steve Miller concert in Vancouver BC, back in 2000 I took an older friend of mine to go see him live, Joe did the opening for Steve Miller Band, just a phenomenal show that it was. Honestly I like Joe Cockers version better than Van the man, who wrote it. Don't get me wrong, cause Van Morrisons song Brown eyed girl is still my all time favorite song!!! RIP Joe Cocker, you are a true artist that stands out because of the powerfull good energy & emotions you put into each song. You give millions of your true fans the goose bumps, that's how good you are!!!😎😎😎😎👍👍👏👏👏🤸🤸🤸🤸😜🇨🇦
Joe loved Hawaii and I lived there. Went to every concert including the civic center where he was relegated to after being banned from the HIC. I must’ve seen him 20 times.
@@LeilaniG808 wow 20 + times that's almost like stocking him,ha,ha,ha,😝😜😜🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭😁😎 lucky you!!! Joe Cocker owned a vacation home in North Vancouver, he actually would hang out and party with Doug Bennett, from The Band: Doug And The Slugs: He'd party over at Doug's house over in East Vancouver up by Lakewood drive just near Victoria Dr.😇😜😲😲🎉🤸🤸🤸
Most Beautiful makes me think of a Florida nite on the beach with a couple of tropical liquor drinks just me and my gypsy soul 🦋 I love his song when the NITE comes to EPIC 🦋
Van is talking about walking along the Mystic River in Cambridge,Massachusetts. He knew what he was trying to express. Joe could sing the phonebook and I would listen. Tough to beat the singer/songwriter.
@@pasquale1650 East Cambridge? Isnt that the end of the runways?. I know that was wrong. I used to live in Sudbury and Hopkinton. Now I live in the Texas Hill Country. Heard alot about musicians from WBCN.Charles Laquidera would give background on who the musicians were on the record,who wrote the lyrics,etc...
@@brianlevine1479 nah, that's East Boston. East Cambridge is basically the next neighborhood over from the North End...walking distance from the Garden. Charles Laquidera was an institution.
Maaaaaan, that cat could sing and always had a world class band. Rip Joe 🫡
Joe Cocker can’t sing badly. He’s just an immortal. No pretense. Just golden soul.
Oh damn Mr. Cocker, you are sorely missed. Fine rendition.
Superb!
The music and Joe's voice what a great cover!!!!!

We re missing this great singer and his warm voice. May your soul rest in peace !!!
What a wonderful find on this winter day! I had no idea he recorded this. Heartbreakingly beautiful. RIP Mr. Cocker. You were a true artist.
This is the only song I want played at my funeral...not for a while hopefully, but its what I want as I go... into the mystic. Miss you so, Joe.
Me tooo
No one put more emotion into a song than Joe. RIP.
Aye that and amen.
Ah Joe, you were one of the never to be forgotten musicians that were the soundtrack of my life in the sixties and seventies- and still are !
Never knew Joe Cocker did a cover of this song, as usual he absolutely nailed it.
This is one of those songs where it's hard to top the original, because it's not about text book singing or guteral power, it's about turning a phrase with soft soulful expression. That said, Joe could sing anything & I'd love it.
Try Jay Fleming's version.
Nobody can be compared to Van Morrison.
JAY Fleming información the
Van and Joe are like apples and oranges. Both wonderful. I love both versions of this song for different reasons.
He sang the hell out of it and owned it.
How good is this
Damn good, that's how good it is...
This song should be played every year to the voters for the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. What the heck are they thinking not having this unbelievable singer in the hall?
Who else can cover an already great tune & make it his own? Only Joe Cocker.
yes, one of the best renditions of that tune
One ot the best vocalist in history
Wonderful song and exstraordinary interpretazione by Joe Cocker

@Donut Emptycircle - I also like how the entire crew; were also professional enough to make it their own!
The one and only Joe Cocker... unmistakably soulful and amazing no matter what he sings.
Love it ❤️
I'm sorry people but he Slaughters this , voice capability and so does the band no one but Van Morrison should ever sing this song
When your body feels it, really, really feels it, your vocal perfection is never needed. With that said, Joe does this song so much justice. One of my all time go to songs to chill to. Bravo Sir, Bravo.
Das Lied ist so geil und von Joe Cocker gesungen einfach genial.❤❤❤

"... I want to rock your gypsy soul ..."
Best shit ever flat out
Please forgive if it's already been asked, but what brand of guitar is that 6 string acoustic? Beautiful tone quality. And Fabulous Musicians. Thanks.
❤❤❤
I now prefer this version to Van's. Superb ! I am a great fan of Van the Man but this is a better version!
Joe did good, but can't top Van Morrison.
@@brianrender679 OK but still think this is better than Van's.
Agree! I am a great fan of Van Morrison but this is much better,he has put so much soul into this version!
Minuto 1:54 cambio de ritmo mágico 😢
Van is talking about walking along the Mystic River in Cambridge,Massachusetts. He knew what he was trying to express. Joe could sing the phonebook and I would listen. Tough to beat the singer/songwriter.
Get outta here... really?
@@pasquale1650 Van lived in Cambridge,Mass. back in the day. The river between Cambridge and Boston is the Mystic.
@@brianlevine1479 yeah, I know...I'm from East Cambridge. Just had no idea that had anything to do with this song.

I think Van met his match on this cover, 😊.
Damn that's quite a line up of talent eh ?
As usual with Joe he somehow makes his version on par if not better dare I say it than the original
I am a greAt fan of van the man but find this version better
