Joe has the most legendary funky...rock...soul voice ...for a white boy....god don't discriminate when he gives away music soul he beautifully spread it evenly to all race.....
Joe is what happens when you play air guitar, air piano, and air drums while the music attacks your nervous system all at the same time. I know this because this is how i dance. i thought i was a freak until i saw Joe in a video as a kid. Thanks Mr. Cocker!
Im so glad someone else noticed that's EXACTLY what he's doing is playing all the air instruments at one time ! Everyone else was always saying "" there's something wrong with him "" I'd laugh and say ""just watch and observe what he's Actually doing"" Some people got it, the others that didn't Imo they weren't feeling it,lol. I've been listening to him since the early 70's. A very talented artist 👍👍

The music just lived within him, and when the band started playing, it opened up his senses to reveal live music. Joe Cocker was the definition of music embodied in a human being.
It just doesn't get any better live than this... back in the day... puts todays over produced, nothing much to say folks to shame... hearing this live makes you want to jump out of your skin for joy.. as i'm sure a lot of folks commented here, just a beautiful unique voice... where does that scream come from? pure soul...
He was a friend of my Uncle. Stopped at my Unckes bar once and sang 2 songs, this was one of them. Wow! What a guy! He was no different than any one of us
Although it seems that this man has lost his damn mind, Joe was in total control. The great ones always zone out; janis joplin, bob marley and james brown all performed like this and knew what they were doing and why they were doing it. Joe was an original and I thank him for having me and the rest of the world FEELIN' ALRIGHT
We adored his music but none of us had ever seen him in person. When he finally came to our city there was a mad rush to get tickets. The decision after seeing him was universal. Mad respect was added to our love, as we all figured he had Tourette's syndrome (that was our best guess after asking our parents) yet he made it anyway! It was years later that I, and others probably, learned that was just Joe, feeling the music. I saw him in concert twice and he absolutely compelled.
For a white boy he was very soulful , this song was way up the chart when he did it I believe in 1970 ,he said Ray Charles influence his music and style, whenever u hear Joe sing one can hear Rays sound
Blue Eyed Soul at it's Best, Joe Cocker, Bozz Scaggs, Bobby Caldwell, early Hall & Oates, Blood Sweat and Tears, Doobie Brothers, early Chicago (Robert Lamm and Terry Kath)
Everyone u named sucks as soul performers . What about Mitch and the Detroit Wheels, Righteous Bros, and those other dudes from the MoterCity, the cats who dropped Westbound #9, THE FLAMING EMBERS?
I saw Joe at McClurg Ct. theater in Chicago in the 80's.The one song that still stands out is him singing "You can leave your hat on"and sipping from a full bottle of JD.Awesome.
I know this is a song by Traffic..... (Dave Mason).....of which I Love the original very much.....but Joe Cocker and Friends put so much feeling....and soul into his rendition. .....Awesome Performance by Cocker and Co.
He has been my favourite singer(I am a singer in a band)since I heard feeling alright back in 1970 , I was 13. but for me he was terrific from the 60´s till 1973, when his voice was tops and so was his grease band. later the music became pop and his bands were professional they did not transmit the old feeling, but then the best rock music was from ´60 to ´74 in my humble opinion.
The instrumentation, the rhythm, the lyrics, his raspy voice all combine for a moving song. This is what I've instructed to be played, at my funeral, as whatever mourners appear, as they walk past my casket for the last viewing of my husk, before oblivion and the sun and wind no longer are upon my face. Good job Joe. I hope to hear you sing on the dark side of the moon.

Mr Alan Spenner on the bass, one of the finest players ever. Love how free he was to flourish with such a tight band. Joe is playing air bass most of this show (part of a 40 minute split set)! What a great video, thanks for sharing! 👌👌👌
True Original Soulful Legend!! And English.. We damn right got the Blues!!!! Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and EVERY OTHER SOUL, JAZZ, MOTOWN AND GREATS FROM EVERY Genre would not have held him in the Highest esteem if he were not worthy!! He was a Legend to ALL (BUT the ignorant!)
Charlie Rogers Music Blue Eyed Soul at it's Best, Joe Cocker, Bozz Scaggs, Bobby Caldwell, early Hall & Oates, Blood Sweat and Tears, Doobie Brothers, early Chicago (Robert Lamm and Terry Kath)
Air guitar, air piano, air drums! What a unique special talent he was throughout the years! I saw him in Hollywood, FL in the early 70's with Leon Russel at Pirate's World. I was personally insulted when John Belushi mocked him on stage in a version of SNL, but in later years found humor in the musical sketch! As far as I know Joe never commented maliciously.
Rumor has it, Joe saw that impression and asked what that was all about, he had to be told that he does all that stuff onstage... he never really realized it, and when asked about it, said he was playing air guitar, and air piano, and air drums sorta all at once... he toned that down after that.
Never to see a person enjoy music on stage like this again brings a tear drop in my eye rip Joe thanks for saying hi to me and my friends backstage 1971
This is Joe Cocker and the Grease Band. The band who performed at Woodstock with Joe. 1969. Prior to that I did not know of Joe Cocker. This is vintage video of him. Very cool! Thanks!
I like that joe can feel every note that's playing all at once. And also the backup singers in the beginning where guys. What culture and traditional start to this song. Thanks joe I'm rested and in peace by your music.
Personification of Blue eyed soul !
Joe has the most legendary funky...rock...soul voice ...for a white boy....god don't discriminate when he gives away music soul he beautifully spread it evenly to all race.....
He's British, so he's got an edge over white Americans! lol
The tone of his voice, live, on an old as dust video is unbelievable... what a monster

Yep and he did all that after he came in from feeding the cows. That's why he has shit on his boots.

"BLUE- EYED SOUL"
??????? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Care to explain to one ignorant Green eyed ?
Pnulti Coulored! Soul ...
sduke39 when he died my partner had a weekend of Joe cocker songs and partying and having the best time ever!! He was amazing!!
Feeling ight, no help of rehab even today 🌅🌈🌅🌅🌈🌅🌈 @Crackbabylife #freecrack #crackbaby #rehab
up there he belong
Absolutely, 100% possessed by the music. Truly one of the greats. Miss this era...
It’s called drugs
@Dfdtafhbc no its not drugs. I react the same way to music
@@briansutton3088I do too! Why don't people understand that he/we simply get into the music and naturally move with it that way?
ONE-OF-A-KIND. Never, ever, EVER will there be a a singer so captured, transported, and soulful like this man.
Joe Cocker is an international treasure. Thank you England.
Hello Janet how are you doing!!
He OWNED this song!
His weird but precise sense of timing was incredible :)
Thank you for being on the planet in our time Joe. You rocked our souls...RIP
Hello Brenda how are you doing!!
IM GOOD
The music just lived within him, and when the band started playing, it opened up his senses to reveal live music. Joe Cocker was the definition of music embodied in a human being.
amazing, he is playing the drums, guitar, keyboard, dancing and singing all at the same time
In heals!
@@aaronbrent-fulps2495 yes!
Maybe the greatest live performance ever
Yesssss. Lord have mercy, sing it now Joe Cocker. I'm listening and loving it.
I love this song because it makes you "feel alright!" Let's hear for Joe- thanks for your music!!!
Hello how are you doing
Hello Angela how are you doing!!
😎♦️🔥⚡️
How can you not love this?
It just doesn't get any better live than this... back in the day... puts todays over produced, nothing much to say folks to shame... hearing this live makes you want to jump out of your skin for joy.. as i'm sure a lot of folks commented here, just a beautiful unique voice... where does that scream come from? pure soul...
Best song ever
If he is not inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame
he should be
He was a friend of my Uncle. Stopped at my Unckes bar once and sang 2 songs, this was one of them. Wow! What a guy! He was no different than any one of us
seems down to earth
@@hmackie6823 sure seemed that way to me!
What a voice.
R.I.P. sir
That man was 100% rocknroll music. And that band sure knows how to go with the flow.
Same boots he wore at woodstock!
Although it seems that this man has lost his damn mind, Joe was in total control. The great ones always zone out; janis joplin, bob marley and james brown all performed like this and knew what they were doing and why they were doing it. Joe was an original and I thank him for having me and the rest of the world FEELIN' ALRIGHT
Marc Hill yea, he's probably the first ever to play the air guitar and he was totally in control.
Absolutely...Joe could smoke a Columbian forest and never miss a beat.
I think it takes a certain ability to let go and go with the feeling of the music but also be able to steer the ship if you will.
Lord I have something to tell you , you already know.
Janis routinely downed an entire bottle of Wild Turkey at her shows.
No matter what back-up singers sound like..Joe is always on time and in key.
I think the piano player couldn't hear his vocal. That's a good thing.
Those background singers are fucking horrible!!
So true! They sound like they're in pain.
@@69ElChistoso Gotta admit, they didn't add to the song in a good way. They were harshing Joe's vibe. I'm wondering if it was the mixing board?
Same back up guys at Woodstock
Cocker was amazing. ..look at him grooving to the music. He was a great singer and performer.
Smattering of applause. They had no clue. Legendary.
He was always on point. His rhythm is flawless
Blessed to see the Amazing Joe Cocker sing this song in Philadelphia during Tina Turner's Farewell Tour!✌
Chris Stainton at the keyboards. Joe's long time wing man and musical compass.

THERE'S MY JOE COCKER!!! I GOT TO SEE HIM OPEN FOR STEVIE RAY V. IN ALASKA!!! MAN THEY WERE BOTH ON FIRE AND DID PERFECT CONCERTS!!! WHAT A NIGHT!!!
Hello how are you doing
this is a man that loves the music
I doubt anyone will ever get down like this guy does lol.
For a white boy he was very soulful , this song was way up the chart when he did it I believe in 1970 ,he said Ray Charles influence his music and style, whenever u hear Joe sing one can hear Rays sound
Before he even started singing I chuckled and thought to myself I love this Man ! Rock them in Heaven Joe !
Cant say I ever saw anybody like Joe Cocker all my life and Im 64.
Preach!
He's fucking incredible. I wish I could have seen him in concert
Joe Cocker!! Hell yeah!! The best!! Love all my lps!! Daily for a great time!!!
Who is rocking out to this classic Christmas Day 2019? Brooklyn NYC.
I am. Oldenzaal The Netherlands
Jamming whilst imbibing some Maker's Mark on 1/8/2020. Does that count?
Love Joe ..... Love Sheffield , England 💖
I came from Honduras on 1974 n got hook on his music n style until today,love his rugged voice am 58 now
I saw Joe play the Florida state fair back in the 70's , he had the same boots but the heels were all worn down lopsided on both of them :)
Joe cocker was a man that what ever song he would sing he put his heart and soul also feelings in his music, r.i.p. my brother.
I was lucky enough to see him in a small club in SF on his first US tour
I wish someone could bottle Joe's insane ability to channel heaven through music.
Saw him in concert in the 1990s amazing rip joe

Man you hit that nail on the head !!
I might add Humble Pie
Everyone u named sucks as soul performers . What about Mitch and the Detroit Wheels, Righteous Bros, and those other dudes from the MoterCity, the cats who dropped Westbound #9, THE FLAMING EMBERS?
Loved how they showed his air guitar
song written by Dave Mason of the English rock band Traffic from their eponymous 1968 album, Traffic.
The one & only. Have you guys ever see or heard some body like JOE COCKER!!!!! Since then????
One of a kind. There likely will never be another.
another Joe cocker? did you clone Joe? if not, I think you might be wrong. :(
Bill Ferencz no there won't, just like there will never be another Elvis, prince or Kurt Cobain
ziggy morris I think never having another Kurt Cobain wouldn't be such a bad thing. Just my opinion.
dustyrusty musty agree he was the best 🕺💐
This fellas is dancing not scripted shit you learn from videos...he dances what he feels...no imitations pure expression, it's a pleasure to watch.
Joe was the man.. Rip Joe you are truly missed
With a voice like Joe's you would never think he was a Englishman 🏴🇬🇧from Sheffield, Yorkshire.
Never will there be another like Joe! Absolutely gifted with soul & rawness his approach was one of a kind!
JOE de la grande époque !magnifique ....
Saw him in South Bend Motor speedway in early 70's then again in 2003 in Wichita, KS. He only improved with time. He left me feeling alright.
I still listen to this!!! Love it , Love you Joe!!! #YouAreSoBeautiful So Much SOUL!!!
my favorite voice ever.
Music in physical expression, pure joy. Thank you Mr. Cocker for all the music you gave us. Rest well. ❤
The greatest voice of all the times....unique and sensible artist.
Those Star Trooper Boots fit This Master well.
I'm feeling better now.
Thanks Joe
I do like the contrast of Joe Cocker's voice with backsingers voice and I like Joe's dancing . Thank you for sharing that video .
The best ride I've ever been on man!! 3Way_window,pane, and a touch of the 🌞 and shine!! No curfew is a very way to pick up on all the vibes

Saw Joe back in 2001 along with the Guess Who at the Greek Theatre. Incredible concert !
He could just feel the music running through him.he is great
This captures time in a bottle in such a perfect way .... wish we were feeling alright here in 2016.
+Dave Powell Hey powell I'm feeling alright now!
This is how one let's it all hang out, friends.

Miss that soulful voice no now can ever come close to Rip Mr. Joe Cocker
an undisputed master singer. nobody else will ever come close..unforgettable tone register, presence and feel.
What a great freakin band. They are absolutely cooking. Alan Spenner is just killing it.
