Joe Cocker / With a little help from my friends

[@joesmelser2784]

I am 73 YO And remember Joe when I was in my teens and early 20's before I realized that life is not a yellow brick road without pot holes and detours, emotional pain and heart ache , and the numbness you can feel from being humiliated or embarrassed and the everyday twist and turns that lead you in the wrong direction by your own poor choices or poor decision's you make based on wrong information second from you immaturity. As I've grown older I'm able to see the mistakes of my ways and wonder in amazement how I got to where I am with no major problems ( at the present moment ). And be able to look forward to the rest of my life with my beautiful bride of 45 years. When I listen to the music that was popular then and still now it makes me feel a since of self worth. Joe Cocker was amazing musician and his music will live long after I'm gone. Music is able to touch all our hearts and souls regardless of race, nationally and political fews. Let's all put our personal differences and our views behind us and listen to the good music that bridges the generations with a" little help from our friends ".

At Woodstock, Joe Cocker was amazing ! But for the harmonies and musically, this one is the best because at Woodstock all the band couldn't go on stage because they was too numerous. For example, at woodstock the chorus was made by the guitarists !

Alright so after listening a few more times, i like this version better. There are more pieces in the band and this was an inside performance which both lead to a richer sound. Also, this performance had more back-up singers (including actual female singers for the female parts) ad I do like this one better

[@donnahancockhusk9337]

As far as his movements go when he's performing a song, it's because he also plays the bass guitar. Too bad there isn't music out today that has the meaning, and actually tells a story as it did in the '60''s.

The PASSION, MUSIC, VOCALS, and POWER behind this!! Simply amazing.

[@patricianoud7096]

Good to see the great Leon Russell again as well. Joe you still kill me....RIP

[@LarryBill-ei8kh]

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.

[@OldiesZone]

Unreal. Simply stunning!

[@thomashermann2785]

There’s not many Beatles covers that I think outshine the original. Forgive my heresy but this is the definitive version.

[@truthmatters1950]

Thomas Hermann No heresy mate, just the plain and simple truth!

[@antiquehippies8419]

I agree, I usually always like the original cover of any song best.. but this is one of the few exceptions. Changing it to a waltz... and the emotion in Cocker's voice.. superb.

[@oliviadriver1362]

Joe Cocker has the beatles beat hands down! He was the best at every one of his songs, can't think of even one that I dislike

[@apptechreviewinsppart1554]

Olivia Driver yes indeed

[@RockerKiD221]

Pretty sure McCartney and/or Lennon (or vice-a-versa) said that he took this song and made it his own.

[@davidw4987]

I saw him in concert in 1973. His voice had extraordinary power that reverberated through your chest. He was so drunk at the beginning of the concert he could hardly stand, but they did an encore that went for two hours until they turned the power off. We the audience responded by ripping our seats from their brackets. Great concert - those were the days.

[@truthmatters1950]

David W You lucky man! Saw JC live in Cape Town 1996 at the Good Hope Centre. He was fantastic despite being well on his way to becoming an elder statesman of blues rock by then. No longer able to rip up and hurl the seating now, chucking the Zimmer frame would have to do! Ah, good times! RIP Joe

[@jenniferj6580]

Wow sounds like fun ✌

This will never ever be replicated. Joe Cocker, a force of nature like no other. Absolutely Amazing Man.

This performance is like a big ol' musical hug.

Well bugger me if that didn't hit me right in the soul. 9 minutes of bliss. Thanks Joe.

Joe never forgotten, he put so much effort into every song...Amazing guy, truly missed!!

1970 Atlanta Motor Speedway. This song played last on last night of the Altanta Pop Music Festival.

[@incognitoone]

Perfect combination of gospel, soul and rock!

[@Freddebasf]

Incognito ONE Bluueess baby 👌🏻

[@deaneawilliams2272]

Sung so much from his soul

[@GertBFrobe66]

Very few have the Heart and Soul that this man had.

[@alfonsorodriguez6437]

You can tell he is as high as a kite when he is performing. Never the less, he was the best blues voice in history. That raspy, sandy, rusty voice cannot be imitated nor equaled.

[@jaydeedaley8158]

He's not necessarily high; he just has a very unusual performance style. I LOVE IT.

[@lydiaortiz2690]

Haven't we all been at one time or another.lol lol cool

[@MrKmoconne]

I wish I could give this ten thousand up votes. The best of what I liked about old school rock. Bless Joe and all those people who made this happen.

[@dutchpicklevideos]

the votes would be just a number this is real

[@georgetweedie5416]

What a star. Pure class

[@bobblasi2429]

This will never ever be replicated. Joe Cocker, a force of nature like no other. Amazing!

[@SuperFata]

I remember discovering this as a 12 year old boy in 1986. I listened to it over and over on my walkman, couldn't get enough. My classmates having no clue wtf I was listening to. Joe Cocker is simply amazing, this doesn't age bad unlike the shit they listened to.

[@TheEtbevp]

Nada que hacer, esta es la mejor versión de todas. Es cierto que están súper volados, pero le metieron demasiada pasión, calidad, carisma, es espectacular.

[@normavalenzuela4097]

A qué te refieres con lo de volados???

[@informescima6762]

@@normavalenzuela4097 a que se notan que están drogados, pero lo hicieron magnífico

[@MP-mo1bo]

Wish this song last forever ,keep on replaying.OMG.💎🌎✌🏽💎

[@philipmarq]

Crocker goes to another place when he performs, as here. And amazingly, he brings me along.

[@FloppingEagle]

His Woodstock performance was still the best.

[@DJxSGGxNeo]

He was fucked up on lsd lol... but great show.

[@markdougherty5061]

Henry McCullough, his guitarist was the only Irish man playing at Woodstock 😊😊

[@joeposival8533]

THE SOUL MAN. Thank you, Joe!!!

[@pisachanation942]

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in 1990 and Stevie Ray Vaughn at the same venue approximately 3 months before Stevie died in a helicopter crash. Stevie opened the concert with a 1 hour show, then Joe performed for around an hour too. After Joe and the band left the stage, he and Stevie both came back out for an encore and performed together for an approximate additional 30 minutes. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.

[@larryslemp9698]

Absolutely so many fantastic musicians here........with one of my forever, and all-time favorites....Mr. Leon Russell!

[@omarmattu8393]

I cry for this Song....wooowwww...Joe Cocker MASTERPIECE

[@michaellayton7741]

I do too

[@crystalynnbearr]

My condolences to any artist who had to follow after Joe. He was untouchable

[@marilynhigginbotham1429]

Love you Joe and always will be 💯 so appreciative of your awesome music and I still get the goosebumps as if it were the first time I've ever heard it or any of your amazing songs you didn't leave this world not being loved and appreciated especially for teaching us what true soul and the love of great songs that means so very much down to the core, there will never be another Joe Cocker and for that I'm grateful and sad at the same time... RIP Joe I love you 4-Ever #GoodMisicDontDie 🙏💔🎶🎼✌️🎤👌💯🙌🎸

[@lilyofthevalley6983]

Marilyn Higginbotham Hear..Hear!! Beautifully said! Agreed!

[@mattconway8851]

Amazing how Joe could add a certain type of soul to other artist's art - and it become his own completely different work of art - a rare ability indeed!

[@nathanielharrison7021]

as soon as he hits the mic its gives me chills

[@CoinsAndCapsaicin]

Taclo Escofart same! Goosebumps!!!

[@HomeBoyTV]

Yeah man. Still feeling it at 71.

[@kodyryba7676]

Omg I str8 up got the chills

[@jenniferterceira4264]

HomeBoy Productions I used to go see him perform in our home town of Sheffield in the 60s. He was great then so real. I still feel him.

[@debmac2076]

The first few bars...

[@rojorampage9994]

Gawd I’ve loved his voice since I was a very young kid. How could you not?...

[@terencecass7735]

Saw Joe at Robert Althman's Dance studio in Leeds . This was a small pop up club run by Pete Sringfellow. It was just after Woodstock. Joe played in front of maybe 200 people. He still gave his all despite the small audience. Incredible.

[@claytontharp8902]

Too cool!

[@joanlang1603]

I miss those days

[@janeyd5280]

Joan Lang me too JOAN.x

[@medicationstation5251]

I was having a terrible day but after watching Joe just spew straight love n soul from his spirit filled heart just makes me so happy 😀thanks again joe

[@claytontharp8902]

Music=the best cure all.

[@laurieaylmore7676]

Seen mad Dogs And Englismen three times in a month when released in Perth Western Australia have watch it quite a few times since .Joe had a super voice his ballads were super ,over the years he recorded some very good songs also got a good liking for Leon Russell also a super star .

[@arturosoto5952]

Que Dios reciba y ampare a este notable artista, que por medio de la música promovió la "paz y el amor" de una forma auténtica. Joe Cocker un grande, su legado musical permanecerá por siempre en nuestros corazones; ayer, ahora y en el futuro.

[@joepalone5200]

Nothing better than the way they ended it....nothing!! Leon SHREDDING and Joe flat out ROCKING!! Damn!

[@dogmanforreal4183]

DIDN'T JOE AND LEON DIE AT THE SAME AGE OF 74........

[@truthmatters1950]

So good it hurts - even after 50 years. Thank you @yosh95wilde for posting. I must've watched 90% of the Joe Cocker related posts on KZbin and this is the closest to his epic Woodstock rendition of this iconic cover. 62 now and I still get the same twinge in the heart I felt as a12 year old watching Joe in Woodstock '69. If possible, even more moving now as one appreciates his massive body of work during his amazing (albeit too short) life. RIP but rock on Joe!

[@chashiralez7852]

NOT to mention LEON RUSSELL'S.... Presence;.... (Leon's people)

[@truthmatters1950]

Charles Hiralez You said it Charles! I latched on to Leon in his performance in Concert for Bangladesh - was it REALLY as long ago as 1971?! Good to “meet” a fellow LR fan. Peace

[@Norman-Bates]

@Clint Sowell Groovy man !

[@davepaxton2550]

Got to be one of the best songs ever - if you get yourself into the whole thing for 10 minutes - lets face it - currently most of us has 10 minutes to spare! This song takes you through many of the emotions felt by most of us dealing with Covid-19. From front line workers to those respecting the rules and being 'locked down', in the end even a short phone call from a friend can help. Stay strong everyone xx

[@Handd4u]

Those backup singers are icing on the cake. Rest in peace Joe.
