One of the best ever live performances, a great song performed brilliantly by a superb performer. Joe had a unique voice. Absolutely loved listening to him.
Joe Cocker was late for a gig one night so he chewed his way through a granite mountain to make it to the gig on time. The gravel remained in his voice. Love the reaction!
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote this song. The Beatles recorded it a year earlier, but never released it as a single. The Beatles were so impressed with Cocker's version of this that they sent him a telegram of congratulations and placed an ad in the music papers praising it. This was recorded in 3/4 time - a waltz. The Beatles original version was in traditional 4/4 time.
I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He 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.
Sarah If you check out any of the above, then most will be found on "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour movie. This is where you'll also find the most brilliant Leon Russell leading the musicians through a feast of Joe Cocker songs. This is one of my all time favourite live recordings but watching the clips is well worth it.
Bravo, Sarah, you've now heard the "Master of Space and Time" making history! 😁 The Woodstock 1969 festival was epic, happy to say I was there all 3 days. It was a different reality from the world outside! The music was inspired, and the crowd was astonishingly nice! On this track, the female backup singers were delayed in traffic, so the boys sang falsetto instead. You might know this is a classic Beatles song, but even Paul McCartney admitted he liked Joe Cocker's version! 😁😇🌹💖
@@musicairplanes4884 Looks like Joe's only nickname is....Joe. He was born John Cocker. Let's call him the Warlock, since he kept the rains away just long enough to perform this magnificent rendition.
I have been listening to Joe Cocker since the 1970's. A friend of mine told me that I needed to come over and hear this guy. I have been hooked every since. That was in 1969 at the Woodstock concert. I have seen him twice in concert. I am 68 years old now and I still love this guy. I was so sad when he passed away.😪
one of the best performances of Joe's epic Beatles cover, I bought the vinyl 45 when it came out, still love it & spin it often. Joe Cocker makes some songs he covers, his in someway. I saw him a few times at festivals, here in Britain. Their performance was always superb.
Yesterday I saw a presentation from someone who was a young policeman there at Woodstock 69 (just being a policeman, he was only there to take care of the traffic) and he loved the mentality of all the young people there being helpful and peaceful. He didn't even mind the cannabis. He just wanted to help out wherever he could. He said: "With A little Help From My Friends" really describes the atmosphere there.
The ladies who were supposed to provide the backing vocals got stuck in the massive crowds at Woodstock that day and couldn't make it to the stage in time, so the guys had to stand in for them. I think they did a pretty decent job of it. There were around 500,000 people there and JO Cocker was one of the biggest attractions of the whole show. This is live rock music at its very best, long before 'Auto-Tune' was invented. Oh for the great days of live music and when flower power and the days of love and peace were at its height. God rest Joe Cocker RIP man.
Hi Sarah! Joe Cocker one of my favorite singer. This cover was released in April 1969. It was certified gold in the United States and peaked at number 35 on the Billboard 200 Suggestion some other successful musicians from Woodstock 1969. Joni Mitchell, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana, The Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Credeence Clearwater Revival and John Sebastian. Thanks for a great reaction video!
JOE COCKER, "A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS", yes this is the opening song from the TV SHOW, The Wonder YEARS. The Beatles song sung by Ringo Starr. JOE COCKER made into his own. From the Greatest Concert Ever, "WOODSTOCK, 1969"... PEACE, LOVE, and MUSIC...
This was Day three at Woodstock doing this Beatles cover. The best version is "Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends - live at the Metripol". It absolutely explodes!
Somewhere between 400, and 550 Thousand Souls Got Filled With Totality of Soul That Summer Day of Love. Always gets me a bit teary eyed as, and dont get me wrong as I love the Beatles, but as far as I am concerned, this song was absolutely written for Joe, and he Did so much more with it. Kudos to his band mates who filled in for the Back Up Vocalists who could not get to the show on time. You should hear this live with his Back Up Singers, but it was still History for them to make the Cut.
I was at the famous 60's hangout Barney's Beanery some 30 years ago, turned around and just 10 feet away standing alone, there he was. Joe Cocker must have known from the expression on my face that I recognized him and smiled and waved. Warm and friendly, he was a gentleman. You must see the SNL episode he guested on where John Belushi is on stage with him doing his amazing impersonation. Dueling Joe Cockers.😅
The musicians singing back-up wouldn't have expected to be pressed into action for their vocals, so it was brave of them to step up after the female group scheduled to appear got held up in the traffic gridlock. Joe seemed unfazed and there was quite possibly nobody in the crowd sober enough to care.
Lolllll, yes, this was used as the theme from the Wonder Years! 😁 For comparison, you'd likely enjoy the performance from the "Mad Dogs and Englishman" tour, where the female singers were present and the mighty Leon Russell performed with Joe!. ✌️🕊️
Mundo parou em WOOSTOCK MAIOR APRESENTACAO VOZ ROUCA ONDE TRANSFORMOU UMA MUSICA NORMAL EM UM HINO DE MINHA GERACAO 1969 , 500 MIL JOVENS HIPINOTIZADOS COM APRESENTACAO JOE , NUNCA,MAIS NENHUM CONSEGUIU ESSA PROEZA , OBRIGADO COCKER PELE DA MUSICA MUNDIAL
one of the perfomances that will live in our hearts for ever,Joe Cocker gave us this to share with our kids and grand kids when they will be ready to learn from us,our time,what we live back in those days and embrace it,with love and respect.
Wasn't it cool when we could see the exact second she recognized the theme music to The Wonder Years? I saw it in her face and knew immediately. However, I was a young adult in the 60s, so I felt some sort of second-hand pride (don't know why lol) the first time I heard this was the theme music used in the 80s & 90s, Wonder Years. It was a good show. I had a Mom like the mom on that show, even blonde. lol I enjoyed this reaction. I'll check out more.
Great redaction. I could see you were really getting it! Joe's female background singers got stuck in traffic and never made it on time for the gig in Woodstock otherwise this would have been even better.
Woodstock! Joe Cocker! and a whole lot of history! There is a lot to know and great songs. Such as - Chicago was a new group and was booked to be there but their agent sent Santana for his debut in their place. While waiting for a band to get ready, Country Joe was asked to come up and do something. Someone handed him a guitar someone else got him a rope to use as a strap and it became an iconic moment in history when he did the - i-feel-like-i'm-fixin'-to-die rag - Here is a link th-cam.com/video/bu9c10xmVCI/w-d-xo.html And its 1, 2,3 what are we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, The next stop is Vietnam, And its 5, 6,7 open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why, WHOOPEE we're all gonna die
challenge: Can you name just ONE performer, from today's "Top 20", who has the sheer bloody Talent, Charisma and personality of ANY of these performers from the 1960s.....no, me neither....
Keep in mind playing for for 500,000 people is not your normal. Great year Woodstock. Abbey Road. Zeppelin 1. Morrison Hendrix Janice. I wish it was like that today..
Beautiful, Sarah. I wonder if you know that this is a cover of The Beatles second track on their Sergeant Pepper album. Ringo sings the lead. It would be worth checking out if you haven't heard it already.

So good to see and hear the great Joe Cocker again. Thanks.
A man giving everything he got to give! Just, beautiful! That's what we need today! Nothing like that anymore!😭You felt it, baby!👍✌️Peace from France
One of the best ever live performances, a great song performed brilliantly by a superb performer. Joe had a unique voice. Absolutely loved listening to him.
Joe was the best cover artist of his generation. One of a kind.
Emotionally euphoric
There’ll never be another Joe Cocker, he’s once in a lifetime amazing.
Now that is how you feel the music.
Joe Cocker was late for a gig one night so he chewed his way through a granite mountain to make it to the gig on time. The gravel remained in his voice. Love the reaction!
Yeh. And the tooth fairy sings us to sleep.
This was A Performance For The Ages by Joe and his backing group, The Grease Band. Great reaction.
Great reaction beautiful lady such a great song
I had the good fortune to see him live twice, Great shows.
Great song, great reaction.
This was the man who put the 'Soul in Rock and Roll" God bless him, a great man in all respects!
Joe Cocker's moment of glory, luckily I was able to see him live several times.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote this song. The Beatles recorded it a year earlier, but never released it as a single. The Beatles were so impressed with Cocker's version of this that they sent him a telegram of congratulations and placed an ad in the music papers praising it.

Pretty sure he was Irish
@@robertmarriott6767 I'm pretty sure he was from Sheffield
@@phillipharrison7283 l adore Joe Cocker with Leon Russell. ❤😊
@@phillipharrison7283 An Irish Sheffielder. Who knew?
written by the Beatles , Ringo , Joe took to another Level , Joe gave it SOUL

Thank you for explaining the backup singer situation. I had always wondered about that.

so nice to see you love good music he is awsome 😊
Great cover of the Beatles song!! Joe Cocker did masterful covers!! 😊
We may never see another performance like Joe Cocker ; Woodstock 1969"
This is timeless. 1969 Woodstock, Joe Cocker. This performance and Joplin and Hendrix should be in The Smithsonian
Ten Years After and Alvin Lee "Going Home."
I was there. It was magical. Never has been, there isn't and never will be anyone like him. The Wonder Years used this track for their theme song.

Credeence Clearwater Revival and John Sebastian. Thanks for a great reaction video!
@@matskarlsson3219 The single topped the British charts in November 1968.
No other like Joe Cocker!
Joe Crocker, amazing artist.....Rock it out Joe lov ya!........69 was a year ......lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Your reaction to this incredible performance was lovely. Cheers from Boston.

He really did get a little help from his friends. His backup singers got stuck in traffic and so the rest of the band jumped in to cover.
The grease band too, BABAYYYYYYYYY!
Joe Cocker. Incredible !!!
Perfection! The God of performing.
Joe Cocker and "The Wonder Years" brings back such good memories of my childhood growing up! Thank you so much for reacting to this Sarah! 💗💗
This was Day three at Woodstock doing this Beatles cover. The best version is "Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends - live at the Metripol". It absolutely explodes!

The last word of this performance was "Beauutiful" makes so much sense.😊
Great Joe Cocker, beauty in song and voice, so much soul to the heart, Thank You, Sweet made me smile so right ....
Great reaction to a master at work, brilliant
The musicians singing back-up wouldn't have expected to be pressed into action for their vocals, so it was brave of them to step up after the female group scheduled to appear got held up in the traffic gridlock. Joe seemed unfazed and there was quite possibly nobody in the crowd sober enough to care.
The world misses joe 😢
Perfect, Perfect, PERFECT 👊👊👍
Thanks, Thanks, THANKS ❤👊👍😁
Joe took this song to a whole other level. One of a kind!
Lolllll, yes, this was used as the theme from the Wonder Years! 😁 For comparison, you'd likely enjoy the performance from the "Mad Dogs and Englishman" tour, where the female singers were present and the mighty Leon Russell performed with Joe!. ✌️🕊️
This was a live performance at the mythical Woodstock music festival. My father was at this concert, and said it changed his life.
👍One of the highlights of the era. The song is originally by the Beatles, two years earlier from the Sgt. Pepper's album.
Joe took everyone there to church that day. The rest of us are just lucky enough that it was captured on recording.
Love your reaction, it warmed my soul ❤
No one else like him

Great Reaction Sarah ! Keep it Up
This is the day Air Guitar was invented Thank You Joe you Legend !!!
Great redaction. I could see you were really getting it! Joe's female background singers got stuck in traffic and never made it on time for the gig in Woodstock otherwise this would have been even better.
He put his whole body and soul into his singing. No one like him. This is a Beatles song originally; yet they are two different songs emotionally.
Woodstock! Joe Cocker! and a whole lot of history! There is a lot to know and great songs.

On the studio version Jimmy Page played guitar
Yes Same Song from The Wonder YEARS ✌️😉🙏
You made my day, thank you so much!
Love your reactions you so real and your smile!
No-one could have put in that performance but Cocker (high or otherwise).
Awesome written and preformed song with a great reaction my dear. Same song from Wonder years but this is the original.
Such a good soul lady. Love from Ireland .
That was such a Guy i have think he reach the 100+ years but R.I.P!
El grito a los 5.15 representa a toda una generación, Joe Cocker por siempre, menos mal estuviste en Woodstock !!!
A pleasure watching you, I will check out other stuff now.
Yes, the studio recording was the theme song for The Wonder Years, and it is also a song originally by the Beatles, on their Sgt. Pepper album.
Joe Cocker invented Air Guitar.
Sarah I Love the reaction!!
challenge: Can you name just ONE performer, from today's "Top 20", who has the sheer bloody Talent, Charisma and personality of ANY of these performers from the 1960s.....no, me neither....
It is in spirit.
I love him when sings live You can Leave Your Hat On. It's later in his career
Yeah, this was a Beatles tune, Cocker sang in the title shots of the ABC sitcom, "The Wonder Years."
Awesome rendition of a Beatles song
This song is a cover of a Beatles song. The other Joe Cocker Beatles cover you should listen to is, "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window".
Joe was an artist
He have a incredible voice..you should check out " you can leave your hat on " 🙂🙏 thank you for another amazing review
🙂🙏
Volcanic performance.
He usually has women back up, I forgot why they weren't there, so one of the band member did the back up in high notes.
This is what music is about
Careful Sarah, we're getting into the that drug haze that hung around Woodstock. And yes, they did play a version of this on The Wonder Years.
Can we also acknowlegde the two guys in the background mastering those high parts with ease? Reminds me always on The life of bryan, stoning scene.
Yes it's the song from the Wonder Years.
Friggin Joe let it all out that day.
Forget The Wonder Years..... It's musch older ..... It's a Beatles Composition.
Keep in mind playing for for 500,000 people is not your normal. Great year Woodstock. Abbey Road. Zeppelin 1. Morrison Hendrix Janice. I wish it was like that today..
Ps: everybody at Woodstock was stoned. Performers and audience
Beautiful, Sarah. I wonder if you know that this is a cover of The Beatles second track on their Sergeant Pepper album. Ringo sings the lead. It would be worth checking out if you haven't heard it already.
The holy Spirit is in this man on this day Amen
Music is the only one true universal language
Too bad the girls couldn't be there for the backup singing but they probably thought (rightfully) that Woodstock was going to become a nightmare.
They couldn't get through in time.
