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!
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..
The women Backup singers got stuck in traffic so the men had to sing their part 😂 I love Joe Cocker, I love his voice, love the way he feels every bit of the music and performs it.
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
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.
@@jenfries6417 absolutely. I actually also do that. It’s been a weird thing that I used to be sort of made fun of for but now I totally embrace. I don’t dance; I conduct! And it looks weird sometimes but it feels so good to do haha!
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.
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!
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.
Does anyone remember Saturday night live when John Belushi did his impersonation of Joe cocker and Joe walked out on stage while he was doing it? Classic great reaction rock on
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....
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.
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 💚
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.
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.
Joe Cocker felt the music. Every note. When he sang, he sang from the toes up. You should check out “The Letter” from his album “Mad Dogs and Englishmen.”
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.
I grew up listening to this born in 1961 . We had the great seat music . ❤I’m excited everybody is going back there listening ♥️and discovering all the amazing singers, songwriters, bands ♥️
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 )
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.
John Belushi did a magnificent impression of him and they once did a duet on Saturday Night Live singing Feelin Alright that is worth a watch. It is hilarious, and I love that it was all good natured
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!
He conveyed the stress of his time, the meatgrinder Vietnam war, various other stresses, my own personal stress and heartbreak of a girl who left me... she died December 2020
One of he best "cover" artists of all time; certainly in rock n roll....................his song interpretations were special, not just "Little Help" but many other covers..
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.
This is Joe Cocker entertaining at his best! watching the video of Woodstock to understand all the artists & He loved to be in front of an audience & Woodstock was a huge gathering 💜☮️. I treasure my vinyl records and Joe is part of my collection - I like him singing Beatles songs, & love You Are So Beautiful one of my all time favourites by Joe Cocker As well as You Can Leave Your Hat On is another great one💜☮️ sending greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 PS I think Joe had a cerebral type of health issue, it is his movements that his fans understand & his voice is one of a kind !!
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
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 .
You have a contagious smile sir. Isn't it great that no matter what our bias', races, genders, nationalities or ages we might be, we can still enjoy and appreciate some damn good music in complete harmony.
Probably one of the best live performances ever. Very inspirational song. probably, most were on something then. He had some moves like you only see in crazy folks :)
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video by Joe at Woodstock and what a great time to be alive and so much passion and energy 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
Joe is passionate. Years later he did You Are So Beautiful. It would seem it would be the wrong voice, but as it turns out, it was the perfect voice. He did Just Like A Woman at Woodstock as well. Just brilliant.
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. I had the privilege of seeing him in a club, his opening act a Joe Cocker impersonator. It was fantastic. There was a great SNLskit that had Belushi imitating him 🔥 ☮️
Hello my friend. Yeah man, Joe was unique. What you saw in this performance was just Joe being Joe. Imagine performing for a crowd estimated to be between 400,00 and 500,00 people! You should check out some of his studio recordings as well . I think "Delta Lady" would be a good place to start. Peace.
He was spastic,that’s why he moved like that. Woodstock was in August of 1969,he was 25 at the time.Probably the greatest cover of ANY song by ANY artist EVER! Yes,he DID sing with EVERY inch of his soul!
Joe sang like Stevie Ray Vaughn played ,he gave you everything. His back up singers was caught in a huge traffic jam at Woodstock while he was on stage .
Not alcohol or drugs, it is just how he expresses himself so intensely. Some people thought he was spastic or some other issues as well. Not the case. Joe just into his stuff.
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 sang with every inch of his body. He felt every note in his soul.
Not to mention that this was Woodstock. Everybody was high as a kite.
Except him.
@@rachelshieldsstillwaterokr7172 No. He was as high as a kyte himself. Not exactly a secret
Not to mention he had Tourette's.
And was possibly off his face, but also amazing.
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.
Hey, this was Woodstock. Everybody was "on something". Magic time. I'm 76 yrs old and still rock out with Joe.
Ditto!
he was one of the first to air guitar ....right up till his death...his stage act....love Joe...
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..
The women Backup singers got stuck in traffic so the men had to sing their part 😂 I love Joe Cocker, I love his voice, love the way he feels every bit of the music and performs it.
Really ? Wow... Joe was from my city in UK
I thought the backing singers were off......shame.......maybe it could be remixed with quality backing singers ?
@@garymoore2535 listen to the studio recording! Same soul from Cocker with with his real back up singers. AND Jimmy page on guitar!
literally made it by with a lil help
In The '60's, voices weren't corrected by computer programs, which is why it was so much better than today! It was REAL!
Yes! You got the real deal.
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
And the cream rose to the top. Only actual musicians were famous for, you know, being musicians.
An iconic performance from Woodstock 1969. RIP Joe.
Ray Charles said Joe was the most soulful singer he ever heard
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.

Well put !!!!
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!
He did seem to be a conductor for his band. He was SO great!
@@jenfries6417 absolutely. I actually also do that. It’s been a weird thing that I used to be sort of made fun of for but now I totally embrace. I don’t dance; I conduct! And it looks weird sometimes but it feels so good to do haha!
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.
Joe`s voice is his whole body and his body is his instrument for delivering that incredible voice...none like Joe, RIP Brother!!!
Perfection.

I was just thinking about that. I remember the night it was aired live.
@@CindyNavarro me too I'm 63
I remember watching it live also. Here's the only full version I could find on YT: ua-cam.com/video/-6m1M5p6Kqk/v-deo.html Enjoy!

Try cry me a river,a classic.😀
@@RobertSmith-iw2kb yes that's one of my absolute favourites beside Sicks And Stones
I hated that duet with Warnes. Hated that they tried to clean up his image.
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 💚
“I don’t wanna assume he was on anything” you can absolutely make that assumption lol
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.
what are you doing here? this is not an Elvis reaction.
in this particular show his reactions were from power leads.
i have the same neurological disorder every time i take a good healthy dose of LSD!
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.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 i also had that same reaction after all my LSD trips when they put me in a shock therapy program. highly suggested!
@@icecreamcowboyz9466 have you modelled your self on beavis or buthead or both?
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!
Joe was one of kind....words don't do justice to his talent!
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.
Joe Cocker felt the music. Every note. When he sang, he sang from the toes up. You should check out “The Letter” from his album “Mad Dogs and Englishmen.”
Not only "Letter", the whole album is absolutely amazing. ua-cam.com/video/ga9oBogL2V4/v-deo.html
Mad Dogs and Englishmen with Leon Russell. Best musical circus ever with Leon at the helm!!!
It's beautiful that artists who aren't here anymore are being honored by reactors like you. ❤
This jam is always in my head
His female backup singers were stuck in the Woodstock traffic so his band sang backup!
I want to teleport back to woodstock day's when music was awesome and life was simply!

Gritty........ Joe Cocker was one of a kind. This was at Woodstock in the summer of 1969... The greatest festival concert of all time.
Soul comes in all colors
The man is a legend
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.
I grew up listening to this born in 1961 . We had the great seat music . ❤I’m excited everybody is going back there listening ♥️and discovering all the amazing singers, songwriters, bands ♥️
When they asked Ray Charles and Smokey Robinson who the most soulful singer was, they said "Joe Cocker"
1969
RIP Joe Cocker....
This is a Joe Cocker gig...he was high on his performance, always. RIP. ❤
Woodstock! There will never be another Woodstock or the hippie era.
Yay! Loved Joe Cocker! Great singer. So sorry that he's passed. I don't know why he moved the way he did, but it worked for him.
That man had the kind of voice he could never sing out of key. A natural talent. Amazing.
The whole Woodstock movie is a timeless piece of rock history with epic performances.
This was Woodstock 1969. Of course he was on something. He was also an amazing performer with a fabulous voice.
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 )
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.
Love Joe so much AND we gotta give a shout out to the Beatles for writing this gem.
John Belushi did a magnificent impression of him and they once did a duet on Saturday Night Live singing Feelin Alright that is worth a watch. It is hilarious, and I love that it was all good natured
"I dont wanna assume hes on anything" cracks me up. It was the 60's and woodstock... but... thats pure joe regardless of performance
There is another performance from Woodstock (1969) that you need to check out if you haven't already. Santana: Soul Sacrifice.
I saw Joe Cocker in 1973 in a small venue, he was one of the greatest live acts I have ever seen
Sucks that the back up ladies got delayed. They sounded sooo good on the studio version.
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.

One of he best "cover" artists of all time; certainly in rock n roll....................his song interpretations were special, not just "Little Help" but many other covers..
You should do one his older hits "You can leave your hat on"
Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Joe Cocker double live album - absolutely unique.

One of the most unique, talented live performance artists…ever! It was ‘69, August, ‘69.
Thats gotta have the best ending of any song. The slow irregular heartbeat coming to a full stop.
It was Woodstock, everyone was on something! But that was more Joe singing like Joe did. RIP Joe.
You have a contagious smile sir. Isn't it great that no matter what our bias', races, genders, nationalities or ages we might be, we can still enjoy and appreciate some damn good music in complete harmony.
Let’s all start singing together in our communities, neighborhoods!
Did you ever hear him sing. You are so beautiful? Reduces me to tears every single time xx
Probably one of the best live performances ever. Very inspirational song. probably, most were on something then. He had some moves like you only see in crazy folks :)
it's called LSD
Joe Cocker was British. His obvious main inspiration was Ray Charles; that's where the "church" is from.
His band was named the "Grease Band".
It's always like being in church listening to Joe Cocker. He's high on life, man!
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. . .
Welcome to the wonderful world of Joe Cocker!
Hey, it was Woodstock. Everybody was on something! LOL!
Joe Cocker!!! Go Joe Go!!! Great Voice Great Song
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video by Joe at Woodstock and what a great time to be alive and so much passion and energy 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love.

Joe is passionate. Years later he did You Are So Beautiful. It would seem it would be the wrong voice, but as it turns out, it was the perfect voice. He did Just Like A Woman at Woodstock as well. Just brilliant.

Tive a grata sastifacao e ver no BRASIL 5 ANOS DEPOIS NO REGATAS SANTISTA GINASIO DISCO VOADOR QUE JA NAO TEM MAIS AQUI NA CIDADE DE SANTOS
So much soul. One of the greatest
Joe embodied every instrument, every note, very word, pulled every part of his soul apart when he sang
Hello my friend. Yeah man, Joe was unique. What you saw in this performance was just Joe being Joe. Imagine performing for a crowd estimated to be between 400,00 and 500,00 people! You should check out some of his studio recordings as well . I think "Delta Lady" would be a good place to start. Peace.
I enjoyed the way you loved this.
I had the privilege of seeing Joe Cocker live. One the best shows I've ever seen...and I've seen hundreds!!
Joe Cocker, raspy and smooth and sometimes all at once. Extraordinary.
He was spastic,that’s why he moved like that. Woodstock was in August of 1969,he was 25 at the time.Probably the greatest cover of ANY song by ANY artist EVER! Yes,he DID sing with EVERY inch of his soul!
He likes to play a lot of air guitar while he sings.
Joe sang like Stevie Ray Vaughn played ,he gave you everything. His back up singers was caught in a huge traffic jam at Woodstock while he was on stage .
Only one thing to say about Joe Cocker…Brilliant!
Not alcohol or drugs, it is just how he expresses himself so intensely. Some people thought he was spastic or some other issues as well. Not the case. Joe just into his stuff.

Ray Charles was Joe's hero growing up. Joe and Ray became very good friends
Joe Cocker became the music when he sang. Greatest scream of all time!
He and Janis Joplin were like twins separated at birth. She sang at Woodstock too.
Joe Cocker initially only sang covers , which was quite unique, but he made them his own !
"The way he moves"
He is feeling the music, playing every instrument, and singing.
Joe was the voice of some Wonder Years what a Legend Joe always makes me Feel Alright
You ought to see the couple of skits from Saturday night live in the 70s with John belushi Reenacting him and singing with him as well
Joe sang with every piece of his body... BEAUTIFUL!!
I am lucky enough to be old enough to have seen Cocker live back in the day. Happy to see you discover him!! We were ALL on somethin back then!! Lol
