Joe sang with every inch of his body. He felt every note in his soul.

You have just scratched the surface here. You gotta do more Joe. This was how he performed EVERY time. He was great. R.I.P. Joe.

Ray Charles said Joe was the most soulful singer he ever heard

[@757optim]

An iconic performance from Woodstock 1969. RIP Joe.

[@jenfries6417]

Watch that clip carefully. Joe was doing air-keyboard, air-drums, air-bass, and air-guitar over and over, through the whole thing. Plus his voice was just taking over and using his whole body. That's how Joe Cocker rolled. He looked like he was out of control, but he was in charge of the whole performance, like an orchestra conductor. The wild movement was the second most famous thing about him, second to the intense passion of his vocals.

[@warrenhughes911]

Well put !!!!

[@patsstuffclark9522]

I read that he was spot on with his fingers and the actual guitar playing, bass and organ. Don't know if it's true but it sounds great!

[@annjohnson994]

He did seem to be a conductor for his band. He was SO great!

[@scottmatzeder9162]

Joe`s voice is his whole body and his body is his instrument for delivering that incredible voice...none like Joe, RIP Brother!!!

[@sjd5750]

That's just the way he moved when he performed. He alway's felt it, and that's just how we liked him. That was Joe. Amazing performer!

[@MaryM-xz5fs]

Joe was one of kind....words don't do justice to his talent!

[@curtwarolin5664]

I worked with Joe in the mid eighties when he really made a comeback. What a great performer and an even a greater person! Loved playing this song with him! The intensity was incredible! Glad you are enjoying and sharing this! I also am glad you picked up on the air guitar antics! He would come over and we would jam together, him playing the air guitar parts along with my bass parts with me! Miss him deeply! Great channel!

[@velvetunderpants44]

Imagine- almost 55 years ago... There's been nothing cooler since

[@lanewoods9420]

Hey, this was Woodstock. Everybody was "on something". Magic time. I'm 76 yrs old and still rock out with Joe.

[@dagmar.6954]

Joe Cocker 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", "You Are So Beautiful" etc.

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Try cry me a river,a classic.😀

[@marcuspfister2047]

​@@RobertSmith-iw2kb yes that's one of my absolute favourites beside Sicks And Stones

[@bibakroll8999]

I hated that duet with Warnes. Hated that they tried to clean up his image.

[@DaveB-hg7el]

If you don't mind a suggestion, the album Sheffield Steel is great start to finish. Sly and Robbie are the rhythm section, simply a perfect combination. Hope you enjoy. Peace 💚

[@blindeyedog01]

This is a Joe Cocker gig...he was high on his performance, always. RIP. ❤

[@pepoppins]

In The '60's, voices weren't corrected by computer programs, which is why it was so much better than today! It was REAL!

[@kazrules2007]

Yes! You got the real deal.

[@paulettelamontagne6992]

Yep my mom used to say if they weren't good live they sucked and I found that to be true throughout my life especially when I got drugged to a Stevie Nicks concert it was hell she's horrible

[@glencranor9138]

I saw Joe Cocker in 1973 in a small venue, he was one of the greatest live acts I have ever seen

[@cherylbrooks7005]

It's beautiful that artists who aren't here anymore are being honored by reactors like you. ❤

[@lindanoel1853]

A lotta fun enjoying this with you ....I'm 75, was 21 when he sang this at Woodstock . I wasn't there but am soooo glad for the Woodstock film !!! Thank you for sharing your feelings about how you become thoughtful, have a certain kind of feeling when you hear an artist and find out she/he has died. Yes, there are many who have died in my lifetime. Grateful for having experienced their unique expressions....

[@Prozak63]

Many thought Joe had a neurological disorder due to his body motions. He actually feels the music throughout himself and if you watch closely you'll see he is also directing the band with them.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

what are you doing here? this is not an Elvis reaction. in this particular show his reactions were from power leads.

[@icecreamcowboyz9466]

i have the same neurological disorder every time i take a good healthy dose of LSD!

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

you are wrong! I have met with Joe on many occasions. The truth is, when he was doing this show, he was getting electric shocks from the rain that had fallen and that caused him to react that way.

I was 13 turning 14 on Aug 16th and ran off to Woodstock with 2 friends. This man had us mesmerized! It truly was like a church experience. The female backup singers got stuck in traffic. We left our van 2 hrs away and walked in because it was that much traffic. Of all the experiences of my 67 years, this one will always be the best.

[@Lassira1]

Wow…. It must have been so Great!

[@sylviapotter6328]

Joe Cocker's brother had a band and he was playing a gig, he asked Joe who was 12 yrs old to come up and sing, that was his 1st time singing in public. He started his career in 1961, he put a couple of bands together and went by the name Vance but in 1964 he dropped the name and band and went solo. The Beatles heard Joe's version of With A Little Help From My Friends and loved it, in 1968 Joe put the song on his album, John Lennon actually played the guitar and Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were in the studio with Joe. This performance is from Woodstock in 1969 and sent his career skyrocketing sad after this performance, his band mate Leon Russell put a U.S. tour together for them in 1970 that kept him on the road performing none stop. He was depressed and exhausted and started drinking doing heroin and smoking 2 pks of cigarettes a day, he quit heroin in 1973 but kept drinking. He recorded 22 albums in his 43 yr career, in 1974 he covered a song by Billy Preston called You Are So Beautiful in 1972 that song went to #5 in the U.S. and became his signature song. Joe Cocker only had 1 #1 hit with Up Where We Belong in 1983 and was he was ranked #97 in Rolling Stones top 100 greatest voices of all time and doesn't make a bit of sense to me. Joe was arrested in Australia and got the nickname Mad Dog, he married Pam Baker Oct 11, 1987 she helped him stop drinking and smoking in 1991 but sadly Joe Cocker passed away December 22, 2014 in his Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Colorado. He was one of the best artists of all time.

[@robertlear2712]

I saw Joe Cocker in concert in 1969, just a few months after this performance. I didn’t know who he was at time but regardless of that he blew my mind.

[@kimrichert4991]

young man, i am humbled by your observations... music is clearly the bridge between the race, religous, and political problems of the world - and it makes me proud to hear a young man that understands that. i agree with you that the spark of that path was created in the late 60's and early 70's. It could be that again, but i am not seeing it. Bless you, sir, and PLEASE continue to spread the message.... we are all just people, and need to respect each other for our differences rather than continue violence in the name of diversity... bless you. Joe had such a wonderful interpretation of the songs he did, and used every inch of his being to show us that! do more joe!

[@2cleo]

I want to teleport back to woodstock day's when music was awesome and life was simply!

[@michele6740]

Movin’ like that is Joe’s thing. And this gives me goose bumps every time -especially the beginning. I have to see & hear it to have the full impact.

[@justkaron]

Love Joe so much AND we gotta give a shout out to the Beatles for writing this gem.

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

"I dont wanna assume hes on anything" cracks me up. It was the 60's and woodstock... but... thats pure joe regardless of performance

1960s music featured a lot of folk, soul, earthy-sounding vocals. Loads of vocalists with Gospel roots. Country, folk, Gospel, soul, Blues - EVERY genre - smashed-up. Some great music.

[@ardentynekent2099]

No auto tune, just real voices feeling the tune. (He's not high, but explained that many were. It was, after all, Woodstock! He feels the music, and he's always like that, Yes. : o )

[@johnhawkins9626]

That "soothing voice" at the start. You should react to his version of "You are so Beautiful." He was a master at putting emotion into his singing.

[@stacybrown3429]

TY ❤ Joe cocker is quite the character. Priceless

[@utubestratman]

Many of the best musicians back then grew up in church and you can hear it in their music. I was a studio musician a number of those years and growing up in church didn't hurt my contribution..

Growing up always thought Joe was on drugs and I was amazed at how good he could perform while messed up on drugs and then years later many years later found out that he had multiple sclerosis love Joe one of my favorites

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

That is just how Joe expressed himself, since he could ot play guitar himself. He was known for those movements. He has a great song called 'Feelin' alright' & John Belushi used to impersonate Joe on Saturday night Live. On one of Joe's appearances on SNL John came out dressed & acting like Joe & they sang 'Feelin' alright' together. Epic.

[@stenblann9784]

Sucks that the back up ladies got delayed. They sounded sooo good on the studio version.

There is another performance from Woodstock (1969) that you need to check out if you haven't already. Santana: Soul Sacrifice.

Joe had so much soul, he really felt the music. No drugs, he was so fun to watch!

[@artslife3876]

That's the way Joe moved when he sang, right up to the very end! 🙂 My Dad's favourite. I brought my Dad to see and Al Green in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, as a surprise 67th birthday present, in a place called Malahide Castle. I got us e seats up the front, open air, Summer, beautiful. When Joe Cocker performed, after Al Green who was amazing, most of us on the seats up front, were crying with joy. People everywhere, not a dry eye in the house!

[@sjd5750]

Gotta check out Richie Havens legendary Woodstock performance!..He was the first act, but he wasn't supposed to be. But because there were serious traffic jams they couldn't get the scheduled group, Sweetwater, in with all their equipment, and Richie was an acoustic act, with his two backup singers/bandmates (his bass player was stuck in traffic, but he agreed to go on without him) trying to kill as much time as possible so they can get groups in by Helicopter..He was exhausted by the end of the set that was only supposed to last 20 min., but went on for much longer..He couldn't remember the words to anymore songs, so he just started playing something, and the word "Freedom" popped into his head, so he started singing, including some of the lines from the traditional song, "Motherless Child."..Absolute must see!

Joe played a mean air guitar! Possessed by the music. You'll notice how calm and controlled he was during the intro and going off stage. . .

[@pepoppins]

LOL! Joe was ALWAYS on something in those days! He was terribly shy and had incredible stage fright. He took elephant tranquilizers before going on stage in order to perfome! Had a life long struggle with substances.

I was fortunate to meet Joe several times.Something most people don't know.Joe was in construction as a pipe fitter before Woodstock He did this in front of over 500,000 people The best singer of all time .

Joe Cocker had the music in his soul. That was how he moved , the more he grooved the more contorted his body became. He was magnificent until the end.

Quite a character.... and yes he was always "on something"... mostly coke and heroin in those days, although I sure he took speed as well.... Try his track "You are so beautiful"..... soulful......

[@Blahshog]

Joe was a very down to earth man, he enjoyed nothing more than a pint of beer and a game of darts in his local pub. He had an amazing range of vocal styles, everything from romantic ballads, to heavy blues & soul with a hint of R&B. A truly great singer in my humble opinion, you have to check out his duet with Jennifer Warnes.

[@user-zl6gi5co9q]

[@74artgrrl]

The man has an incredible voice with exceptional timing and powerful. He was asked, in the late 70’s and 80’s, to sing and he decided not to. I think he might have been autistic to a certain degree. But… this performance and his voice is so outstanding. Thankfully it’s documented in this film and you’re spreading the goodness. Thank you.
