I spent a big chunk of the video trying to get a look at Sam’s hands. I know it sounds weird but I was trying to figure out if it was her hands in the sleep mask video.
If you aren’t already you should be doing hand modeling!!!
I swear I’m a pretty normal person 😂😂
Att B&B zero early soul & Funk on the channel
Sly & Family Stone
Woodstock 1969
Were comsidered psychedelic soul.
They went on after Janis Joplin and before the Who and gave both a run for their $. Many say one of the best performances at the Festival.
As nice as the studio version is, this is Woodstock! This is a historic performance and by far my favorite version. If you know the history of the festival and how it almost didn't happen and all the drama that went into the production of the event, it's amazing that the festival of peace, love and music and nothing but peace, love and music turned out as beautifully as it did.
No studio could ever capture the passionate call for the love of good friends that Joe was singing about and doing it in front of a half a million souls. "BEAUTIFUL"
The backup singers couldn't get to Woodstock, the roads were blocked by parked cars. that is the Bass and Guitar players singing falsetto in front of 450,000 people!
The one with the lighter hair is Chris Stainton. He's Clapton's tour keyboardist these days.
They did a good job considering they had to suddenly step up. Ultimately their backing vocals were a vehicle to display Joe's great voice!
So he got help from his friends😉
@@jonkjeve👍🏾
Can you imagine having the chance to perform at Woodstock, but got caught in traffic and missed your performance time? ARGH!
I had the privilege of being at Woodstock 1969 .It was the best music EVER.Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin ,Carlos Santana,Jimmi Hendrix,A memory ive taken with me for 50+ years Thank you for reminding me of this simpler time,of Peace✌️ & Love 💕 and the BEST concert EVER in History.🎵🎶🎶
Would have been even better if Led Zeppelin didnt turn it down.
Best video of Joe Cocker: His appearance on Saturday Night Live with John Belushi. Many of you know what I'm talking about and are smiling now.
John is spot on with his joe cocker mannerisms,he really seems to become him,so good
Paul McCartney, the writer of this song, said "With A Little Help" had no soul until Joe got hold of it
Not only did they have only dynamic microphones in one of the world's worst acoustic situations, but all the sound engineers were totally stoned. All things considered, a good mix. ;)
"The Letter" by Cocker, live, 1970, is another banger.
Absolutely brother
You won't find too many examples of someone covering a Beatles song and making it better, but this is one of those times. Cocker had a gift for covering others' music. His version of Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" is another example. RIP Joe.
I believe the only other time is John Farnham's version of Help
the only human being more passionate and energetic than Joe Cocker was John Belushi impersonating Joe Cocker with Joe Cocker.
Joe was 25 when he did this awesome redention. When he died in 2014 at age 70, Paul McCartney said "It was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem, and I was forever grateful for him for having done that." Interestingly this was recorded in 3/4 time like a waltz but the Beatles version was in 4/4 time like 90% of pop/rock..
I was blessed to see him live once when he toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan and it was awesome. Check out 'Feeling Alright' next.
Cheers.
The 3/4 time is very interesting. I could never pin down what made Joe's cover so different from the original (besides the passionate singing). Even most blues songs are in 4/4 time.
Wow! Him and Stevie Ray Vaughan in the same night. You lucky dog!
25. He looked like 60 and sounded like 80.
He was off his tits😊
It’s outdoors, and Joe still blew the roof off.
The studio version has guitar by Jimmy Page, one of his last jobs as a session player before forming Led Zeppelin. This performance by Joe at Woodstock was quite overwhelming on a cinema / movie screen way back then!
BJ Wilson from Procol Harum played drums
Just for fun, "You can leave your hat on..."
The video with Kim Basinger dancing one!!!??
@@davidbooth7778From 9 1/2 Weeks.
The one and only high point from an otherwise bad movie.
Preferably "Joe Cocker - You Can Leave Your Hat On (LIVE in Dortmund) HD" - I think this performance is much more powerful than the "official video" with clips from the movie 9 1/2 Weeks. Uninterrupted greatness.
She Came In Through the Bathroom Window, another unrecognizably great Joe Cocker cover of the Beatles
Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends Woodstock.. This is the version that I have always known. Love it.
I did too until I saw the Mad Dogs and Englishmen live version.
Check it out!
The Beatles applauded him for his version.
Every band and individual at Woodstock gave the best performance they ever gave..
One could always count on Joe Cocker to give it his all.
"And now for something completely different" many years later in 1992 at the Night of the Proms, Antwerpen - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes singing their Oscar-winning song "Up Where We Belong".
You will see one world class artist in complete awe of another.
I had the privilege of seeing Joe Cocker in a smaller theater, seated very close, back in the 70s.
He was electrifying!!!
"you can leave your hat on" RIP JOE
One of the very few times a Beatle song was redone and I loved it.
Have a listen to John Farnham covering "Help". A totally new rendition of the song, and not the "pop" version the Beatles were forced to release by their management. This is a ballad, and the way it was meant to be sung. It is FAR better than the Beatles release. ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html
The Wonder Years TV Show used the song-- Joe's-- for the intro outro ... Check out Joe and Leon Russell on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour performing The Letter
One of the absolute, for sure, Greatest live performances ever. And to happen to have done it at Woodstock. Just adds to the iconic nature of this performance. I'm 76 years old and I was one of the hippies in 1969 that attempted to go to. Woodstock for that awesome weekend. But having left my house way too late. I was one of those thousands that were stopped on the New York State Police when they shut it down so I ended up having to turn my car around and go home. So I was not there but I was glued to my TV all weekend. Watching anything that I might find which was very little and was always on the news just reporting about the concert. The closest I came was when the movie Woodstock came out was going to see it about 6 different times
Those were exceptional and different times and it's very hard. I think for people like yourself today to get to enjoy anything more than the music. Because the experience the atmosphere. The time that we lived in is hard to describe to anybody and it's impossible to feel for the younger generation. Who only have heard about the concert.
A friend who lived in New York asked me to go with him. I was in Los Angeles and had classes at UCLA. Should've skipped class.
You gotta give the band props, they weren't expecting to sing backup that day. The back up singers got caught in traffic and the band hand to improvise unexpectedly. I'd say they did it like a boss!
This British soul/R&B singer was so unique. This song was written and recorded by The Beatles. It was a hit, but Joe's cover was a huge hit as well. The Beatles who were friends with their fellow countryman, said "I guess it's Joe's song now." This is an iconic performance in Rock History.
Yes, and Jimmy Page played guitar on the studio version by Cocker.
Joe in a interview says he is playing all the instruments in his head and his movements is how he keeps time so he knows when to sing and how long he had a interesting way of performing
There are some artists/musicians that truly feel the music,, But as you just witnessed,, Joe was one of the rare ones that are actually possessed by it...R.I.P. Joe 🙏♥️
You could say the same for a lot of musicians from Woodstock. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, etc.
@@taoist32 I don't know if I would say a lot,, But the ones you mentioned are definitely included in "The Rare Ones" I mentioned & In the years that followed after that,, They became more & more rare.
This was a Beatles song that once Joe Cocker did it he owned it so much it became synonymous with Joe Cocker
Theme song The Wonder Years TV show, grew up watching that And that's how I know this song
That was a great show
@@matthewdrake4385 sure
Was
Joe Crocker was one of them singers that when he heard the music he heard it with every fiber of his being then let’s loose with his gritty soulful voice with so much passion and sings with all his heart and soul. We were blessed with these kinds of singers back in the day. Sad they don’t exist anymore. Loved your reactions.
You obviously haven’t heard a singer called Jimmy Barnes! Check him out!!!
I heard the female backup singers got stuck in the Woodstock traffic.. so the guys in the band stepped in to perform. Not a bad job...
The band members sang backup when Joe first started covering this song so it wasn't new to them.
No shit. Never knew that👍👍🙏
lots of people got "stuck in traffic" at Woodstock ; -)
@@jans724 I see what you did there!😝
Saw Joe Cocker live in the early 70’s. It was an outdoor concert with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, JJ Cale, BB King, Leon Russell and others. An amazing night to be sure!
Yes, there can be suggestions from Mad Dogs & Englishmen. They could do Delta Lady, or that could be saved for Leon Live.
I’m from Tulsa and loved to get to go to Leon Russel’s birthday bash. My wife and I worked with his son in law so we went. Leon’s a freakin legend.
The man. The voice. The passion.
This concert happened while I was in Army basic training, I never knew anything about until a year later when I was stationed on the DMZ in Korea when it was shown at the movie theater there. They showed it over and over again for an entire weekend. You could in go in and out as you pleased. Probably saw it twice because of smoke breaks for a well known and exotic herb. One of the more memorable moments of my life. I was 21 at the time.
When discussing the sound quality here it should be taken into account that the conditions under which these 3 days of music were recorded and filmed were incredibly difficult - - and it was 55 years ago! What they captured, given all that, was miraculous.....
Joe cocker was fantastic. He sang with his body and voice Simply awsome. Miss him
When John Belushi was on Saturday Night Live he used to do an impersonation of Joe Cocker, quirky movements and all. There was even an episode where Joe was a guest on the show and John came out and impersonated him side-by-side with Joe. He even went so far as to flop down on the stage on his belly and roll around on his belly. It was funny but I'm not sure Joe appreciated it.
That was funny. It wasn't planned either. John was lucky enough to find a similar outfit to what Joe wore in the wardrobe department, and went on stage wearing it. Joe stated afterward that John Belushi was distracting the hell out of him. 😂
I wasn't there, but I believe there was a lot of high-energy mind enhancing . Going around. Joe Crocker is very good .
Taking us to church (and I’m an atheist). He put it all out there
one of the all time great live performances. right up there with freddy
This version is from Woodstock. The recorded version was a #1 hit in the UK in 1968. His first single. Check out his fabulous "Cry Me a River" from 1970, especially the live clip from the film about his Mad Dogs and Englishman docufilm. It was a #11 hit in the USA.
Better version of this song on Mad Dogs and Englishmen as well.
I was in Vietnam in 1969. We heard about Woodstock. Just made me want to get the hell out of there
Joe was a trip in his own right. A great musical force and a character from that era!
His female backing singers got stuck in traffic so the band had to improvise
after Woodstock, this song was Joe's. In 1970, Joe's famous Mad Dogs And Englishmen Tour, see THE LETTER,
His Mad Dogs and Englishmen album is magnificent! Lots of great talent on that album.
You need to check out Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen and the videos from that tour. Leon Russel organized and ran the tour.
All indications I have is he was a very nice person to work with. He knew his lane and stayed in it for decades.
It’s amazing how he was playing air guitar and air drums feeling every note at the same time
Americans like manufactured perfect studio sound. The UK likes raw live concert sound, it`s real.
There is a Woodstock documentary you guys would probably love. Peace out guys✌️☮️
This was an iconic performance and it was classic Joe Cocker... He always gave it all on stage during every performance... I remember this performance very well... During the 3 days that this concert existed, There were many people in New York state including servicemen that were trying to get home that were disgusted because the thruway was closed because of this concert... I remember that very well... I'm glad that I grew up during this era and got too experience this music ... I really miss the 1960s... Great reaction guide... See you on the next one...Keep Being Awesome !!!...
Amazing voice. The first time I heard this version was when it was used for the TV Show "The Wonder Years" in the 80s.
Goosebumps anyone? Several years after Woodstock, Joe Cocker was on Saturday Night Live, and the late great John Belushi did an impression of Mr. Cocker, right next to Joe. It was hysterical, and classic, based mostly on this performance right here.
The Wonder Years
Woodstock was "the stage" symbolically. So many artists "got it" and brought their best to make it the memory they were experiencing and wanted to add to. Part of the magic of that weekend. Many more performances to react to with a pretty cool playlist down the road. Artists and groups you've still never heard like Joan Baez and Santana.
This is an event watching Joe Cocker sing this. Incredible beyond words. 🌟✨ Now do the studio version of "feeling alright" and enjoy some more magic.
My favorite cover of all time. The studio version is a must listen.
This concert and particularly this song got me into Rock and Roll! After so many years stills makes my skin crawl. Love Joe
I saw Joe Cocker in’99 in Toronto, he opened for Tina Turner! Amazing double whammy!
Another MUST HEAR Beatles cover,, Joe Cocker "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" (I suggest the Studio Version first)
This is a classic. A true artist!!!!
He turned a live music performance into a historic event. Joe Cocker was/is such a treasure, one hell of a soulful singer if i ever saw one, RIP.
The man is a LEGEND !!!
Try...You Are So Beautiful or You Can Leave Your Hat On complete 🔥🔥🔥
After seeing/hearing Joes version of the song The Beatles "gave" it to him. Even they knew they had been bested.
Nothing left in the tank with this one!
I saw Joe in 1994 for the 25th anniversary of Woodstock in NY. He was still bringing it. He is one of those performers who "lives" in the song when he is singing it. The Beatles, when Joe visited a few months after this at Abbey road studios, pleaded with Joe to cover any Beatles songs he wants to. He did oblige them by doing a cover of SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW, a song they were working on when Joe stopped by that day.
Joe takes the crowd to church. The church of rock and roll.
You gotta do his cover of the BEATLES' "Bathroom Window"!💯 JOE COCKER🔥was incredible.🤗 RIP my brother.😢🙏Thank you for the music you gave us.😊❤️✌️
FEELING ALRIGHT NEXT!
THEN THE LETTER!❤
Magnificent performance, should try to checkout Santana at Woodstock.
I love how the other band members stepup and sing the backup vocals. dudes singing so high even though I am sure their natural singing voices are much deeper.
I saw him and Tina Turner at a concert in Germany in 86 just wonderful Thanks for playing it
Good as this is theres a far better live version featuring the original band Mad Dogs and Englishman with Leon Russell and Joe. At Woodstock the backup singers were too late to perform so the band members did the backing vocals This version you reacted to however is the most watched and iconic performance thanks to the movie
BARS & BARBELLS, for me,the cover of this Beatles classic. Nice reaction 🎶🎶🎶👊🏾👊🏾🖖🏾
This sing as sung by Joe Cocker was the main title theme two decades later for the memorable ABC-TV series THE WONDER YEARS.
Joe's in the Air Guitar Hall of Fame
I went to see him in the early mid 2000s he was obviously older, but boy he could still perform There was a few other bands. He wasn’t even closing that night, but my cousin and I always say I don’t even remember. Who was there? Just remembered Joe Cocker. that’s how good he was
I saw Joe Cocker sing this in concert in late 1969, a few months after this performance. I didn’t know who he was at the time but when he came out and started singing, he blew my mind.
There is a classic Saturday Night Live scene with John Belushi imitating Joe Cocker with Joe Cocker it’s definitely worth the watch. Classic Belushi skit.
What an AMAZING concert!
That’s some crazy sleeping apparatus LOL 🤟🏼
Saw him twice mind blowing.
Joe cocker, an amazing voice especially at Woodstock always look like he was about to have a seizure when he was performing. He was an amazing performer.
Cocker was fully aware of just how odd his onstage stance and gesticulations seemed. When he appeared on an early episode of Saturday Night Live, famously John Belushi took the stage with him and mimicked his weirdness. The studio audience loved it, and apparently so did Cocker.
His studio recording featured a young session musician named Jimmy Page.
This would’ve been my highlight of the 3 days at woodstock. Some great acts/songs those few days, but i’d take this one 🤘❤️ to this day
Id go back there anytime if I could...were great times being young back then
Amazing performance!
Another 'must see' performance from Woodstock is "Soul Sacrifice" by Santana! LIke Joe, his debut and introduction to the world! And we're all better for it! ;-)
In another Beatles related fact about this performance, Henry McCullough (the guitarist here) went on to be in Paul McCartney’s initial lineup of Wings in 1972. Sadly, Henry is no longer with us. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 72.
I was there. My parents had forbidden me from going , but in true 16 year old rebellion, I went anyway. Hell to pay when I got home, but absolutely no regrets. The next year, I attended his concert at the Fillmore East in Manhattan. I suggest you round out your Joe Cocker experience by listening to the live recording of "The Letter" from that concert. ✌️❤️🙂
I was there also. Told my parents I was staying with a friend for the weekend. Got home late, grounded, but like you it was worth it.
Also, the on stage birth of the Air Guitar.
I don’t know why people view this one almost exclusively. He was the best. You should view his rendition of YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
They already did a live version of that song.
There is a Woodstock documentary you guys would probably love. Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️
loved Joe's singing. I recommend early live The Letter and She came in through the bathroom window and studio album Jamaica say you will. Fabulous stuff! Thanks 😊
No, Joe was not drunk, or High. This is how he performs. It's a spasmodic, herky-jerky movement that is his way when he performs on stage. It's not faked, it's who he is, and what he does.
He said he couldn't play a musical instrument so he had to feel them instead.
Joe Cocker the OG of Air Guitar !!
I was only 7 years old in 1969, but I know I was there in spirit.
Joe Cocker is amazing! You'd love his song 'Unchain my heart'
Ewww😮 do you even know his catalog?
@@Brandi6666 ?
You can leave your hat on.One of my favourites.Smoother and more polished.
