Joe Cocker - "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" 1970 /w Leon Russell

[@69ssrscamaro4]

Proud to be a boomer cause I experienced some of the best music ever created in those days!!!

[@sneakthieve]

I was born in 81 but I have to agree. There is something very special about this period in music. I listen to it almost exclusively. I find new (to me) artists all the time.

[@lindadann9202]

In every way I am so grateful that I lived in that time.

[@Horseluvver]

Same! Joe plays a mean air guitar.

[@AmericanRebel27]

Yes ♥ Props to Leon as well.

[@seantherevelator4896]

Damn right you guys did. So glad my boomer parents instilled that in me and made sure I heard and saw everything they could show me

[@fritzcat6198]

Look at how young our beautiful Leon Russell is here.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Whew, you’re not kidding…love me some Leon!

[@norwegianblue2764]

Yes. Young and beautiful and magical and perfect in all his imperfection.

[@roseblake5803]

I’m to busy listening to Joe Cocker’s passionate vocals blowing everybody off stage 🤩

[@irvy78]

Bles your soul ✨️

[@RayNDeere]

Leon put together a helluva band: Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner on drums, Carl Radle on bass, Don Preston on guitar, Bobby Keys and Jim Horn on saxophones, Chris Stainton (from the Grease Band) and the great vocal ensemble. You can't put together that lineup of names today

[@franklinloll2229]

Having been a sought after studio musician he had numerous musical contacts.

[@Ramesses52]

Perfect !

[@715bambam]

He was part of "The Wrecking Crew" so he had contacts and probably worked with them I'm sure all before

[@terryschutt5093]

Played on every Phil Spector album

[@john-brady]

Cool man. Thanks for pulling that all together for me. I remember seeing the film in the theatre with ‘4 channel’ sound many, many years ago - and never quite go over it. I bought the album (double I think) and stripped the vinyl down to nothing from overplaying but it I confess that I haven’t heard this in decades - Where the heck have I been? Dunno… Thanks very much!

[@goatgirl55]

Joe Cocker passed today...70 yrs old. What a voice. Goodbye Joe...thanks for all the tunes.

[@suzvalentino1901]

THANK YOU GOD FOR ME BEING 14 AT THAT TIME AND HAVING ALL THAT GREAT MUSIC!

[@phyllisdavies8382]

Suz Valentino Amen to that. Looking for ward to hearing him in The Great Rock 'n Roll Band in heaven!

[@janechapman6448]

Multi talented gorgeous Leon Russell with great band and Joe Cocker

[@colinu9209]

This was real music and we were lucky to have been a part of it !

[@Frank-sm9yl]

We rarely see Leon playing the guitar. Excellent.

[@StephenPeeplesSCV]

The whole hookup between Leon and Delaney & Bonnie and Eric, George and all the British rockers in '69'-'71 is one of the greatest, most musically fertile eras in rock history, not only for the music, but also for the drama. Delaney & Bonnie & Friends on Tour with Eric Clapton, EC's first solo album, George's All Things Must Pass, Dave Mason's "Alone Together," Mad Dogs, Derek & The Dominos...volumes upon volumes have been written.

[@keeff8195]

the amount of talent on that stage is unbelievable.

[@roxannehale1386]

Absolutely. With you.

[@Redwaterman65]

Agree ….glad I was there and made it out through my personal bathroom window….😎

[@michaelherres1748]

Just wish Delaney beat the shit out of Bonnie when he was drunk.

[@tobe2199]

Spot one.. this is basically the Dominoes. The Grease band were amazing..

[@CB19458]

I have a small sign in my kitchen that says “I might be old but I’ve seen all the great bands”, you got that right, 79 and still a free spirit. Free Bird forever

After 40 years I see this live for first time: thank You, KZbin.

This was my very first concert! I was 13 and a big Cocker fan!! Then I went to see the movie. All thanks to my big sister!!

[@MassimilianoBiagetti]

wow.. a great experience! pottery27

[@GailKing-k4v]

WOW! I can't imagine how this must have blown your mind. The USA was directly put in conflict from what our parents had designs on. This time period was OUR FIRST UPRISING into a HIGHER POWER

[@GailKing-k4v]

Id like to be friends. I'm 68! OG HIPPY😂❤🎉. I HAVE STORIES & MORE MUSIC TO TURN YOU ONTO!

Damn, NOBODY could be Beatles songs better than The Beatles ... except for Joe Cocker ... THESE were the days, young ones. THESE were the days! Early high school for me. Gotta a time machine? Let's go back! Peace.

[@donnahoughton2298]

Still great in 2023. I love this. No one like hi!M

[@Staylogical]

Leon's a pretty good guitar player,considering he's the best piano player I've ever heard in my life.That band looked like they had fun every time they played.

Rest in peace Joe. You were one of a kind & will be missed.

[@juanfebles41]

Definitely amazing

[@mikerowan2104]

Greatest version of this song ! Leon and Joe are an amazing combination.

[@komradepistoff6584]

Perhaps with LR on piano, but surely they could've found a proper lead guitarist. That was a woeful solo.

[@diamonddog7613]

Awful version of the song

[@jday3361]

Loved him from Woodstock. Great music, great memories. RIP, Joe Cocker. You sir, were something special to behold!!

[@jimw.4161]

And yet..... Joe Cocker is still not in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. 😳 How can that be? Dolly Parton - Yes Joe Cocker - No Absolutely blows my mind!

[@GordiansKnotHere]

RIP: Leon Russell.

[@bonesc7201]

I love Leon..! God bless Joe, Leon, Carl and the rest of the crew. You just don't find true talent like that anymore...

[@muffs55mercury61]

Yes. Such an ensemble of musicians would be impossible now since most of them are gone. But the music will be here and outlive us.

[@GailKing-k4v]

You got that right. Early '70 my brother took me to Coliseum to see this concert . Then saw them when the ballerina cam down suspended from rafters proned out. They lowered her. SOOO still it was an immaculate performance! Looking at Joe then the ballerina. Not knowing what was happening next. Coliseum again. Filled with smoke. All of us, all kinds of us, shoulder to shoulder watching watching. Taking the words in. Had major crush on Leon Russell. Man. Could he make those keys dance! Holy Jesus these were God Given Talents right in front of us. Mind bending alterations that opened us up. Transformed our minds. Opened our heads. A new period of life was well in swing! 🎉🎉

[@coppinibelair6488]

RIP Joe Cocker....when I heard the news this is the first thing that went through my head...such a simple line and epic delivery...and I have no one to tell that he passed away...my friends just aren't cool enough

10 years old didn't know what i was listening too but it's ringing now. Fucking badass❤❤❤

[@williamcmaylo6597]

I was also able to attend a Joe Cocker concert in Florida, Winter of '76. Wet Willie opened for Cocker's band. Good times.

[@deweyeverhart3118]

So much talent on that stage.

[@williamcmaylo6597]

I saw Leon Russel in Syracuse, at the War Memorial Auditorium in 1975, if I remember right. What a show! I also had his album: "Stop All That Jazz". Then, in 2003, I met the elderly Mr. Russell at a County Fair in Moscow, PA.

[@theoriginalbadbob]

Everybody forgets Chris Stainton's contribution to this tour and to Joe's whole career. They still perform together to this day.

[@fredfarkle-bp9en]

Agree he can tickle those ivories

[@roseblake5803]

Even with all those fantastic musicians backing him, no one could outshine the great Joe Cocker. 🤩

[@michaelmakes1225]

Joe, he took his Ray Charles influence, and made fantastic music his whole life.. always great, never made a bad record, never mailed it in.. immortal 😂

[@Irishgal777]

Leon still rocks! Never knew he played guitar!

[@komradepistoff6584]

After watching that effort, I'm still not convinced he could - at least at that time. He should've stuck to piano.

[@Mark27472]

Ah, if only to have a time capsule and go back to watch him in his prime! I’m only 49, but Joe is one of my all time favorite vocalists.

[@claytonmcarthur6907]

I was lucky enough to see him then there were a lot of great performers back then but he really stood out

I was at the Fillmore, it was life changing, period...

[@williamsnow6739]

those was the days,nice album back in 1970.

[@Parnesicle]

What an amazing talent. One of the best cover artists of all time. He made iconic songs like Cry Me a River, Feelin' Alright, The Letter, Just Like a Woman and of course With a Little Help From my Friends at Woodstock is own with his unique style and phrasing. I loved the Mad Dogs and Englishmen album when I was in high school. We will miss you Joe!

[@eEsensors]

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Lennon and McCartney wrote it for Joe Cocker but also recorded it themselves. RIP Bobby Keys.

[@Frank-sm9yl]

McCartney wrote it.

That's how I would sneak out and back into my house as a teenager. Someone told me "there's a song about this" and so I came to know Joe Cocker...RIP

[@Areseesee]

I love this video and I love that movie! The MD&E tour was put together for Joe by Leon Russell in two weeks. Leon gathered the musicians, created the arrangements and off they went to create Rock and Rule history. I'm glad the younger folks are starting to re-discover this era. It was truly magical! Laughlane - Leon found the Holy Trinity t-shirt at a thrift store right before the tour). Mr. Quay Lude, you're right, this is REAL good! 8 >)...

joe great Always present in my memory thanks

[@JackSchitte]

Joe had just done his great performance at Woodstock with the Grease band with whom he parted ways right after. Problem was Joe had a contract to tour a certain number of dates but he had no band. Leon Russel got word of this and came to the rescue. lining up musicians and singers at the drop of a hat . They started rehearsal and called themselves the Mad Dogs And Englishmen and someone, to our pleasure, decided to film the whole thing. What do you think the chances of that kind of thing happening today? Try nil.........jack

Great stuff. Love the split screen to best capture Leon Russell, consummate musician, and Joe. Also love the backing singer. She's gorgeous. Thanks for the post. :-)

[@KevinTKeith]

Do you mean the woman at 2:30? That's Pamela Polland, one of several backup singers Leon Russell recruited for the band (the others were Rita Coolidge - the original "Delta Lady" - and Claudia Lennear - the "Brown Sugar" the Rolling Stones wrote about). She surely is gorgeous. She was on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour and is featured at several points in the movie made from it. She wrote a number of hits for other artists and recorded some of her own stuff; she put out a first album, then recorded a second with an all-star set of backing musicians that was widely said to be fantastic, but the tapes got hung up in a record-company buyout shuffle and were not released for over 40 years. She later developed a cabaret act under the name "Melba Rounds". She now lives in Hawaii, does Hawaiian-style pop music and vocal coaching. Absolutely great, but missed out on stardom.

[@Georg-Friedr]

Leon was the man! Saw him once in Chicago with the Shelter People. We snuck in into the venue and got lucky with some open seats. I believe Freddy King opened but it may have been Albert King. Around 1972 or so.

Most likely Freddie. He was signed to Leon's Shelter label at the time.

[@antoniodelrey164]

@@ScreaminJames Thanks! Always wondered ever since…

No problem. Check out Freddie's version of Don Nix's "Going Down" on the "Gettin' Ready" album with Leon on piano. It's a classic and might ring a few bells..!

[@curtzeek8818]

reply to baler johnson Cocker is the man that gave Leon his first commercial success. Joe recorded Delta Lady and that is what helped make leon a household name. They were there for each other. If you read up on Leon, before that he was a session musician that wrote and played some great songs for other bands, but he was little known then. Delta Lady by Joe brought them both fame. just sayin'

[@RJRlover117]

Leon was and still is the MAN...I love his music and his talent...I realize that he is aging like ALL of us but he is still an amazing musician and writer..in my humble opinion.....!!!!!!! EVEN Elton John realized that................

I met Joe Cocker twice in 1969 we shared a quart and a joint the first time the 2nd time Joe was trying to clean up his act and we talked for an hour about his time as a teenager and his favourite entertainers he was a nice guy I know some said he could be a nasty piece of work but he never came across that way. Oh I met him because I was bass guitarist for studio sessions good times then life got in the way.
