Music made Joe react with his whole body. Some people thought he had a physical illness, but the only affliction he had was his love for music, and the way it affected him. He was great in concert.
Joe Walsh is exactly the same, but it is his expressions when playing the guitar. I love it! :D It's what makes them what they are, and that is great musicians. :)
Joe Cocker was one of the best at taking a song and making it his own. Saw him in concert in Houston Texas, he had so many hits he could not fit them into a 2 hour concert. An amazing performer R.I.P.
When Joe performed he not only sang the songs, he lived all the music as well. He expressed the music through his body as he performed. Joe became the music, when Joe was the music. (This is a Beatles song by the way.)
Another Beatle's song Joe does very well is "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". His spastic actions is he's actually tracking every note from every instrument during the song.
This is what you call 100% commitment and focus to getting all your emotions and energy into a performance. He is using his entire body to extract every ounce of energy. Amazing
This song often makes me cry; because it makes me think about friends. It is so touching. He was a very sweet decent man, who had a pretty bad drug problem for a while. I love him.
You should take a trip down the Joe Cocker rabbit hole. Cry Me a River, You can keep your hat on. Unchain my Heart, You are so Beautiful, and The Letter. One of my favorite singers of all time.
I think this is one of the best performances EVER!! I get chills every time I hear it. This is the first time I've seen u head banging this looks very good on the Empress😃😃
I've always had the theory that Joe just had so much power in his voice that he just kind of became the music on stage. He just no other way to express except by moving as he sang.
Hey, that was a perfectly fitting reaction to Joe Cocker's Woodstock gig !! Enjoyed your video and for the hundredth time Joe's appearance. Many Thanks!
I went to a concert with Joe Cocker abaut ten years ago, a few years before he died, and here in Denmark in Sonderborg. I had previously seen him perform on UA-cam at the Woodstock Concert from 1969, and he stood swinging with his arms, going completely into the music in his expression, completely immersed in his expression of the music, just like for the Woodstock Concert, even though he was much older then. It was like traveling in a time machine when he sang "WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIEND", and I have never before or since experienced that I have had so much goosebumps on my body when this particular song was fired off on the stage..!
This was the original Woodstock, 300, 000 people. Probably the best single performance of the whole three days. it kicks ass, the definition of an era with a Beatles Song redone. Watch the whole Woodstock movie of the concert and you'll receive a hell of an education about the end of the 1960's.
Watching UA-cam, for reaction videos like yours and other youngins (old people speech) makes me happy that the music I listened ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s and now ‘20s still has this powerful connection to people. Carry on Empress!
As you say: amazing !! Watching you I thought you had the same feelings that I had when I saw that performance the first time. He s never learned an instrument and he regretted it .
Instant chills as soon as he started. Joe was a master of covers. Made each song his own. This is his cover of a Beatles song. Thanks Empress for your great reaction!!!
Wow Joy! You got his Woodstock rendition. Excellent! Not many reactors doing much from Woodstock. You should research Woodstock and find more songs from that 3 day festival in 1969, such as Richie Haven's opening act all the way to Hendrix doing his immortal closing act. ✌️😎
Now THAT was rock and roll!!!!! Joe Cocker was an unbelievable performer - the way he felt and interpreted the music has never been equaled. You don't need to do a reaction to the original version of this song by The Beatles, but you do need to listen to it, just so you can see and hear for yourself what he did with this very basic, very ordinary song. One of the most amazing vocal performances in rock history!!! All the best to you, Empress JJ!
Just watched your reaction for the second time and it really was great. You were really into it :) Now you can see more than ever why sometimes you have to watch a live version. This was different class by Joe and his Band :)
I saw Joe Cocker in a famous 60's hangout spot in Hollywood once. This probably early 90's. He must has seen the recognition registering my eyes. He smiled and waved.😊
Empress!! great work. Thank you for sharing.. Your reactions have kept me in touch with Home in Cape Town.. I am finally home with Siriah!! Your sister from another mother!!! Blessings to our Fire Fighters for saving as much as they did at Unv of Cape Town..
I saw him live in Chicago, Mad dogs and Englishmen tour....he was coolAF....and he lived 70 years...all that energy wasn’t natural.. He was a beast....lovely reaction.... That was his way of directing the band
PLEASE see his Saturday Night Live performance with John Belushi - Joe remarked that he never knew that he looked like that onstage until John did his impression of Joe.
Thanks for the video I was there Yasgurs farm in 1969 with half a million friends that he (Joe) drew energy from ,Because I tell you there was a bunch of positive energy to draw from ,what a tribute to my generation we all got along Semper Fidelis The Gunny
Glad you enjoyed. But in the 60s=70s this kind of music performance was an everyday occurrence. On any given day you could walk into a venue and hear great rock n roll from the some of the best bands that ever lived.......it truly was an amazing time.............. And Woodstock is a whole other level of musical event.........................to think Joe came out and delivered this immortal performance impromptu in front of several hundred thousand on a make shift stage with make shift sound system thrown together in a matter of days.........truly amazing time Glad you appreciate it................
I had no Idea what song this was... until it started playing, and then I knew right away, this was an old song that they used as the theme song for the show wonder years. This was my childhood.
When he was young, like this, it was the booze... made him loose and easy. He could shake his head like that with no headache because he felt no pain. RIP Joe Cocker. Even after his voice changed, he still had it. Saw him a year before he died... was amazing.
Okey! They were used to sing in the Grease Band by themselves anyway, so they could do it without the women backup. This performance turned out so well, Joe and the band was so tight and it all came about so perfect. I prefer this performance to any other take on this song, bass, drums, organ, guitar, backup vocals it all came together so nicely.
Joe was from Sheffield in the North of England. This is a Beatles song from the early '60's, but John Lennon, after hearing Joe deliver his version, said the song belonged to him now. The ultimate compliment. The summer of love, when hippies ruled and we all wore flowers in our hair, we were all high as kites and loved all our live music. No 'Auto-Tune' everything was live, raw, full of power and emotion. ...God rest Joe Cocker.
Joe's backing singers were delayed by a late flight so his group had to do vocals! I love your reactions you're so expressive with your face and eyes. I can really tell how you feel about whatever you're watching.
Music made Joe react with his whole body. Some people thought he had a physical illness, but the only affliction he had was his love for music, and the way it affected him. He was great in concert.
I thought that when I 1st saw him on SNL.
And he was high at the time - it was Flower Power Time 1969
JO had Polo
😊🙏🇵🇹
Joe Walsh is exactly the same, but it is his expressions when playing the guitar. I love it! :D It's what makes them what they are, and that is great musicians. :)
Singing before a half a million people at Woodstock. One of many great performances. Was there, and still hear this song in my Mind when it is played.
Joe was always known for his spasmodic movements as well as his incredible voice. RIP Joe!
he a legend
He played the best air guitar in the business. 🙌🏻
I've seen a few other singers play air guitar as they sang, but Joe also played air bass, air drums, and air keyboards, often at the same time...

yup, but Joe sang it better
he was just letting loose. no polished stage performance, just feeling the music, as it should be really. incredible voice.
You should hear him sing "You are so beautiful" and "Up where we belong". Two other beautiful songs he sings
The nearly unplugged version of “You are so beautiful” are pure class 😊👌
unplugged version
Give a listen to bye bye blackbird.

500,000 people- the roads were all shut down. People slept in the mud-no fights. My generation. I was 19.

My dad was there for the last day. I'm not sure if he saw this or not.

Love this performance, and loved your reaction
I love seeing people enjoy the music I grew up with. Thank you.
One of the greats. Thanks!
That is one amazing performance.
As you say: amazing !!
Watching you I thought you had the same feelings that I had when I saw that performance the first time. He s never learned an instrument and he regretted it .
Good job by beautiful Empress!😍
Instant chills as soon as he started. Joe was a master of covers. Made each song his own. This is his cover of a Beatles song. Thanks Empress for your great reaction!!!
Saw him in Dallas 30 years ago. He sang this song as the sun went down. One of my most beloved concert memories. Rest in peace, Joe.
Every man on planet earth wishes he was this cool.
Wow Joy! You got his Woodstock rendition. Excellent! Not many reactors doing much from Woodstock. You should research Woodstock and find more songs from that 3 day festival in 1969, such as Richie Haven's opening act all the way to Hendrix doing his immortal closing act. ✌️😎
Don't skip Santana's "Soul sacrifice."
I was fortunate enough to see Joe just outside of Chicago at poplar creek back in the day , one of a kind
Joe is being the music, one of the best!
Singing it with true spirit.
Hi beautiful. Good song. Love watching you!
Your the best Empress! You make me smile and laugh so much with your recations...Review Joe Cocker ...whiter shade of pale
You are absolutely gorgeous my queen!
As You Just Witnessed,, Joe Always Really Felt The Music & Was Also A Very Animated Performer..JOE COCKER "YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL"..A TRUE CLASSIC.
Face it Empress, you are a rocker at heart
Love this performance, one of my favorite live performances I’ve seen(with video). Your reaction was perfect, worthy of the performance.

Joe Was One Of The Greatest Singers Ever.👍
I've always thought no one will be exactly the same after seeing this performance
I gave you a thumbs up before I knew you watched the video. Because I knew you would love it. Cheers from Canada
Very good song. Thanks.
The genius of Joe!
Love your reaction ,love your accent,
I saw him live in Chicago, Mad dogs and Englishmen tour....he was coolAF....and he lived 70 years...all that energy wasn’t natural..
He was a beast....lovely reaction....
That was his way of directing the band
PLEASE see his Saturday Night Live performance with John Belushi - Joe remarked that he never knew that he looked like that onstage until John did his impression of Joe.
Joe was just feeling the music. You’ll find some of the greatest music in the 60’s and 70’s.
The most powerful singer ever!

Great performer.He could power a city. nice reaction from you 😁
The sound quality of these recordings astonish me every time I hear it. I also recommend Zhe documentary "Mad Dog with Love".
Definitely the energy king!
He's playing the universe. The part where all creativity and emotion lies. That's what Joe played.
Woodstock.....You Rock Joe....
ALWAYS ,,,, ROCK ON
DAMN GOOD ACID
YOU NEED TO WATCH THE WOODSTOCK CONCERT,,,,,THAT IS WHERE THIS WAS
Nice dress Empress :-) It's Spring here and somehow the dress supports the vibe for me.
R.I.P. Joe..Thanks For All You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.
RIP BROTHER GREAT SONG
Single biggest in the moment performance I ever saw
I had no Idea what song this was... until it started playing, and then I knew right away, this was an old song that they used as the theme song for the show wonder years. This was my childhood.
He got a standing ovation from half a million people in the crowd
When he was young, like this, it was the booze... made him loose and easy. He could shake his head like that with no headache because he felt no pain. RIP Joe Cocker. Even after his voice changed, he still had it. Saw him a year before he died... was amazing.
Love your reaction!
Anything by Joe Cocker is amazing!
I so him live at the winters end festival in 1970. he was great.
Fantastic reaction!
He becomes the music...lets it tear through him...
The band is singing backup because the real backup girls couldn’t get to Woodstock- due to miles of wall to wall traffic and walking crowds.
Okey! They were used to sing in the Grease Band by themselves anyway, so they could do it without the women backup. This performance turned out so well, Joe and the band was so tight and it all came about so perfect. I prefer this performance to any other take on this song, bass, drums, organ, guitar, backup vocals it all came together so nicely.
Joy, great choice with this video! Please do Queen at Live Aid concert. Best live performance in rock history
