I love your reactions. I would love to see you react to Johnny and Edgar winters version of tobacco road live from 1970 to unappreciated musical geniuses from back in the day
"He's got.....is it a bit of rasp or something?" LOLOLOL Yeah, Joe's got about as much rasp as a locomotive tearing by you at 60 mph has got "choo-choo"
im not taking ANYTHING away from joe. he was a rare talent and I'm a fan but he wasn't just feeling the music here... he was LIT. like most others that day.
My brother and I hitchhiked from Indiana to Woodstock I was 16 and he was 17 we both joined the Marine Corps in 1970. He was a helicopter mechanic and I was an Arial Observer (cat killer) in Vietnam, he rotated back to the world without a scratch I was shot down twice.
his normal group of females that sing that high part "what do you see when you turn out the lights", were absent and that band member did his best to mimic the female part.
That "Scream" is an iconic moment in music history. I saw Joe at the 2nd Woodstock in 94 (the one without the riot) and ever 25 years later at 10 am, he blew us all away. LEAVE YOUR HAT ON,,YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL,.THE LETTER, SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW, AND, FEELIN AL'RIGHT.
Nice reaction! When Joe died in 2014 he lived on a dog sanctuary ranch in Colorado. When he passed there was a great story in one of the Colorado newspapers titled "Just A Regular Joe". He would go into his town and shoot pool with the other old ranchers and he also spent a lot of time growing tomatos. He went out peacefully ..
There's a story behind the rasp. Apparently late for a gig and not wanting to let his audience down, Joe chewed through a mountain to cut down the journey time. Some of the gravel from that fateful night remained in his voice. Joe cocker is also unique as he is the only known human to have their soul in their mouth.
Joe Cocker puts his whole body into the song like some sort of saintly singing savant leaving the audience with no other option but to feel awe. You will love 'You are so beautiful' by Joe, it will melt your heart.
I can feel what he's singing. I want to play music like that. I guess I need to practice. This is inspiring. I want to feel the music like that. But sometimes when I play music the people I play with don't feel it.
I do believe he had Synaesthesia and did in fact FEEL the sound. This is why a lot of musicians can't exist offstage. It hurts to hear discord and aharmony.
@@davidroberts4769 what he is saying is...that Joe absolutely made the song his own even though the Beatles wrote and recorded it....Paul McCartney even said that its now the Beatles doing a cover of Joe's song
It’s one of Woodstock’s great numbers. Backstory is the girl singers missed the connection in to the show. So the guys sang backup. If you want to hear it live with everyone n filmed much better, see the version from his concert film Mad Dogs and Englishmen!! That film, maybe moreso than Woodstock is the best video document of the real hippie generation. Also, on the original record Jimmy Page played guitar!
Hey. Have you seen the live video with female backup singers ( that's why the guys singing here are doing it falsetto) and Leon Russell on guitar behind Joe....and wearing a stove top hat ?! Brilliant.
Joe Cocker felt it his whole life - voice like a gravel truck, body movements like he's just stepped on a high voltage cable, and god damn does that combo work.
The backup singers are supposed to be female (that's the studio version). The didn't have the backup singers at the concert so the band members tried their best to fill that role. It doesn't really work very well lol, but it doesn't take away from Joe's performance.
I would say- listen again. The guy trying to sing the solo female part, no. But when the rest of the band tries the "..by with, with a little help, from my.friends.." they mostly stay in tune and someone is hitting that high note too.
Joe is from my home City, Sheffield in the North of England. He was a humble gas fitter and remained humble throughout his whole life. Joe didn't sing, he didn't perform, he LIVED music, his movements were purely involuntary. I only got to see him once, but he was amazing. I envy you watching this for the first time ever...
I WAS IN THE CROWD AT THE WINTERS END FESTIVAL IN ORLANDO IN 1970 AND JOE WAS JUST ONE OF MANY THAT PERFORMED ALL WEEKEND LONG 250,000 PEOPLE. LIFE WAS GOOD.
Joe was a cover Artist who made every song he covered his own. He was the voice of a Generation. We lost him just a couple years ago, but Joe will be with us forever.
At about 5:55 into your reaction, check the guy on the left side of the screen getting the groove on! Is this where playing air guitar got popular?? Better believe it!!
While it's been discussed for years (medical, autism), his body movements was simply how his body reacted to the music around him. A free spirit that let the music take him over, completely.
I read an interview with Joe in The Guardian newspaper and he said exactly what you just did. When he saw himself on TH-cam he was a bit shocked. He didn't do it intentionally, or consciously. It was just Joe being Joe.
The quivering falsetto was wonderful Joe Cocker literally incredible in the true sense of the word . Great God I wish I could turn my back on this world and go back to those times.
I agree, there will never be another Joe Cocker, he was one of a kind and just fantastic. I was lucky enough to see him live twice and those memories will live with me forever, incredible artist.
I saw Joe Cocker in 1970 at the depot in mpls. He did this song! On believable! I will ever forget it. Rest in piece Joe. It was a few months after wood stock

Woodstock....that means something to the people of my generation...changing times...powerful music, powerful feelings...the world was shifting under our feet...welcome to our music, enjoy, and thank you for listening to what we heard then, and the power it invoked.
I was in high school when this movie came out. Had never heard of Joe Cocker but when I saw this it blew my mind. Saw him in the early 2000s with the Guess Who and he still had it.
speaking of woodstock you should watch joni mitchell live in studio explaining the backstory of the song (she wrote it) and performing “Woodstock “ so sweet
there are some people that sing from a place soooo deep that it reaches you sooooo deep.. Joe was definitely one of those singers. The Beatles may have written this song, but it became joe's, Your reactions are priceless.... your joy is contagious
Seen Joe a yr before he died boy!! When he sang the hair on my kneck stood I knew then I'm in the presence of god wow!!! Ive seen hundreds of concerts from kiss Pantera heart to name a few let me tell u Joe was so dam good it was a night I will never forget a true true true soul sent to help our soul love u Joe thank u for touching my soul and millions of others rip!!!!!!
Dear lady i am a grumpy 62 years german.Now when i first was able to listen any woodstock i was about 10 years old. at that time hardly anyone owned a tape recorder. still there was one place in my hometown in germany playing this kind of music. no radio station was playing this. so i sneeked in , got blown away big time and got my first kiss ever by the girl i was adoring that days, never ever i will forget that moment, well it was very very innocent but i remember thinking : If this is love i am in love 😃 i was a very happy "man" greets from bavaria

Once Joe Cocker decided to cover this it ceased to be a Beatles song and became his own. One of the greatest soul singers of all time.
Paul McCartney even said so.
royalties suggest otherwise, but cocker killed it
It’s one of the rare instances where a someone covers another band and actually does the song better.
Nunca mais os beatles cantaram!!!!
Portuguese!!!!!!!
Someone stole something from some scousers .....
You just watched one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen in 60 years of enjoying music.
Joe cocker had more feeling and soul and emotion in his little finger than all of the artist today put together will never be another like Joe
I love your reactions. I would love to see you react to Johnny and Edgar winters version of tobacco road live from 1970 to unappreciated musical geniuses from back in the day
You are praising Joe by denying the latent that is there today. You are wrong.
@@Poetic_Justice1962 He's not denying it. He's saying the "talent" today, or lack thereof, can't equal Joe, even after over 50 years.
@@johnnygaffney4089 And he is correct.
I was going to say you would NEVER EVER see a performer put out that king of emotion today.
Joe Cocker the voice of Woodstock !!
"He's got.....is it a bit of rasp or something?" LOLOLOL Yeah, Joe's got about as much rasp as a locomotive tearing by you at 60 mph has got "choo-choo"
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Woodstock, where everything is born.
In loving memory of one of the best ever :Mister Joe Cocker!
Those of us so fortunate to be there, just stood there in total shock.
Yes, also there. Hard to see and listen everyone but Joe and Santana (Soul Sacrifice) made Woodstock
Woodstock, what a memory
I caint never get sad no more. A reporter asked John Lennon how he felt about Joe doing this Beatles song.
Lennon replied, it's his song now.
Macca too.😊
10 cameras wouldn’t be enough to keep with Joe !
He is a very old soul and a brilliant artest peace to you
Joe Cocker the Yorkshire plumber, who'd have thought ! His voice is gritty
im not taking ANYTHING away from joe. he was a rare talent and I'm a fan but he wasn't just feeling the music here... he was LIT. like most others that day.
One of the best singers to ever live, hands down
Absolute legend of rock n roll.😊
Joe was beyond amazing....I miss him and his
beautiful voice....lyrics tattooed on my body
My brother and I hitchhiked from Indiana to Woodstock I was 16 and he was 17 we both joined the Marine Corps in 1970. He was a helicopter mechanic and I was an Arial Observer (cat killer) in Vietnam, he rotated back to the world without a scratch I was shot down twice.
Thank you for your service, sir!
Great performance of dear Prudence done by Joe cocker as well
I have read that when the Beatles heard Joe's version of their song,they just gave it to him because they like it better than their own.
You can’t do his music without the visual of how much he throws himself into every song
Once in a lifetime a genius comes along,that was the incredible Joe cocker
Joe doesn't feel the music. He lives it. He IS music.
tanother. who used to hangout and and record in lin in little muscle. shoals Alabama 😊out
as was the reason the ruling stones and
his normal group of females that sing that high part "what do you see when you turn out the lights", were absent and that band member did his best to mimic the female part.
That "Scream" is an iconic moment in music history. I saw Joe at the 2nd Woodstock in 94 (the one without the riot) and ever 25 years later at 10 am, he blew us all away. LEAVE YOUR HAT ON,,YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL,.THE LETTER, SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW, AND, FEELIN AL'RIGHT.
His back up singers never got there due to the traffic so these guys did an incredible job. So Joe live after this and he was amazing!

This song put him on the map
Love this song 🎵 ❤
One of the greatest live performances ever!
This might be the G. O. A. T of all of the live performances.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop .... please .... can't ... breathe ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steve Parker- nicely put !
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah man. True story I hope
You should hear him sing Unchain My Heart.
This is where air guitar comes from. Lukcy enough to see him when i was 8 in Brisbane ❤❤❤. Never forget that
That's why the singers where at woodstock
This Song changed the TONE of Woodstock
Joe Cocker’s version sounds nothing like the original. Joe could take any song and make it his own.
My favorite musican.Bluesy and soulful voice.I grew up listening to this!❤
Joe Cocker puts his whole body into the song like some sort of saintly singing savant leaving the audience with no other option but to feel awe. You will love 'You are so beautiful' by Joe, it will melt your heart.
That song was the only thing I could do on karaoke when I lived in Japan because I can't sing and really had to be blasted before I would even try.
I can feel what he's singing. I want to play music like that. I guess I need to practice. This is inspiring. I want to feel the music like that. But sometimes when I play music the people I play with don't feel it.
I do believe he had Synaesthesia and did in fact FEEL the sound. This is why a lot of musicians can't exist offstage. It hurts to hear discord and aharmony.
a saintly savant. I like that If you can't be moved in that piece you gotta be dead.
One of the greatest singers, all about raw emotions like his voice
Absolutely the BEST cover of a Beatles song EVER
Possibly alongside John Farnham's 'Help'
This was written to Joe Cocker. The Beatles covered this song after the success!
@@renepauly3344 BS. The Beatles wrote it and recorded it in 1967. Joe Cocker recorded his COVER version of it in 1969
@@davidroberts4769 what he is saying is...that Joe absolutely made the song his own even though the Beatles wrote and recorded it....Paul McCartney even said that its now the Beatles doing a cover of Joe's song

Very good song nice reaction
It’s one of Woodstock’s great numbers.

If you want to hear it live with everyone n filmed much better, see the version from his concert film Mad Dogs and Englishmen!! That film, maybe moreso than Woodstock is the best video document of the real hippie generation.
Also, on the original record Jimmy Page played guitar!
That imperfection makes this performance all the more endearing. RIP Joe.
Delta Lady from that one absolutely destroys me
I didn’t know Paige played in that. Mad Dogs is the best. RIP Cocker. RIP Russell.
Hey. Have you seen the live video with female backup singers ( that's why the guys singing here are doing it falsetto) and Leon Russell on guitar behind Joe....and wearing a stove top hat ?! Brilliant.
@@elisaabolafia9542 I HAVE!! 🙂 Agree!! See that whole concert!! See who all was in the entourage. True hippie era spirit at its best!
Just watching Joe has always been an experience in itself!
Beauty in power and desperation. Just beautiful!
Grow up with Joe crocker cause of my parents.. They are big fans and we're on so much concerts.. Still got goosebumps..
Joe Cocker felt it his whole life - voice like a gravel truck, body movements like he's just stepped on a high voltage cable, and god damn does that combo work.
Ray Charles said that Joe Cocker is the most soulful singer he ever heard
1970 and still i enjoy his songs.
To me, this is one of the most iconic live performances of all time.

They were stuck in the traffic gridlock and could not make it on time.
I would say- listen again. The guy trying to sing the solo female part, no. But when the rest of the band tries the "..by with, with a little help, from my.friends.." they mostly stay in tune and someone is hitting that high note too.
That explains that! I never knew. It always was my favorite part because it's such an odd choice.
"The Wonder Years" show theme song! Wooooo.
Como siempre maravillosa ☺️💗

You have to love Joe Cocker .... Look at "The Mad Dogs and Enlish Man" Tour ....Album...
I'd love to be able to go back and hear that for the first time. Decades later it still makes me tear up.
Need to listen to his song
Unchain my heart
You can leave your hat on
Joe was a cover Artist who made every song he covered his own. He was the voice of a Generation. We lost him just a couple years ago, but Joe will be with us forever.
It was a Beatles song but he owned it. Paul McCartney said that song was his. So much soul.

Merci!!!
You'd be surprised how different it was from the original. I'm a big beatles fan but this is by far my favorite version
One of the greatest covers of a Beatles track ever.
I love, Love, LOVE Joe. He’s such a Spaz, in the most affectionate way.
The kicker....he sings EVERY song that way.
While it's been discussed for years (medical, autism), his body movements was simply how his body reacted to the music around him. A free spirit that let the music take him over, completely.

So sweet as always.. keep shinning
You Can Leave Your Hat On - great fun Cocker song
It's so much fun seeing someone of your generation enjoying the music we grew up with (I'm 69). Thanks for the great presentations you do.
I met Joe late in his life 2007ish. Super cool and gracious and he still sounded great
The quivering falsetto was wonderful Joe Cocker literally incredible in the true sense of the word . Great God I wish I could turn my back on this world and go back to those times.
The greatest live concert ever!
I agree, there will never be another Joe Cocker, he was one of a kind and just fantastic. I was lucky enough to see him live twice and those memories will live with me forever, incredible artist.
The great Joe Cocker. One of the best, if not the best, voice of the last seventy years & he just kept on getting better until his passing.
Awesome reaction
The perfect compliment to this is Joe near the end of his career singing "You are so Beautiful to Me". Older but like fine wine.
I appreciate the emotional sensitivity expressed in your eyes.

Mr Joe Cocker, top 5 live shows I have attended. RIP
No one was more soulful than Mr. JOE COCKER!!!
I went to see Joe Cocker four times between the 70’s and the 80’s. He never disappoints.
I was born in the 80s. The theme song for The Wonder Years (This song) is burned into my brain, and brings back warm feelings, and memories for me.
"You Are So Beautiful" I don't have to say anything else.
I was in high school when this movie came out. Had never heard of Joe Cocker but when I saw this it blew my mind. Saw him in the early 2000s with the Guess Who and he still had it.
