Wow, Joe Cocker was a true artist. I saw him at O2 in Prague in 2013, just a year before he died and it was one the of best concerts I've ever been to. Almost 70 at the time, he delivered more than 2 hours of great music pretty much straight. Sir, you will never be forgotten.
This is me and my wife's song , 37 years strong . She was 15 and I was 17 , 4 children and 9 grandchildren. what a beautiful wife and life I have been blessed with
That is truly a blessing. I pray for a relationship like that. I'm 67 and I believe my window of opportunity is fading. First Valentine's day l ever spent all alone. I envy you, sorry but I'm also a little jealous of you. But I pray about it everyday and l think God is going to bring me someone. God bless you both l loved this post, it increased my hope...
The only man in history that took a Beatles song and made it his own and you gonna tell me that this man don’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame come on people what’s wrong with y’all?
... your comment?.. . you're just to the point... ... he was born 4 years before me and died ten years ago... in sports, he would be called a "100 year talent"...
@@heinzhachler5972 I was sad to learn that he was initially self-conscious about John Belushi doing an impression of him. But he took it in stride and then went on SNL and played with Belushi. And from all accounts Belushi really loved him and his music. The whole thing was really cool.
I agree he made the song better. This version is sublime. But I wouldn't say it's the ONLY song made better than the original. Bob Dylan only plays Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower because it is better than his original. Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah is better than Leonard Cohen's (but only marginally imo). Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is another one.
I cannot even begin to imagine the energy in that stadium during that performance. I can literally feel it just watching this video. Absolutely breathtaking performance.
I wish that this song could be heard around the world at the same time on speakers that every person could hear, then maybe just for a few minutes we could feel the unity of humanity.
Meta. Well that's a great sentiment to express. Understand what ur saying and that would be nice to see.. Humanity & unity seems a long way appart where I'm looking on from. One day maybe... Ever hopeful though like your good self. 😃
i had the privilege of playing keys with Joe in the late 70s for a couple of tours. pretty rough time for him. even so, he was the sweetest soul imaginable, funny and humble. and i never played a show without getting goosebumps listening to him sing. he was the real deal and he sang every note straight from the heart. a favorite memory is a show we played in Germany. Richie Havens was on the bill with us and he came on stage and sang "You Are So Beautiful" as a duet with Joe. Richie standing back away from the mic with his hands clasped behind his back, singing ever so gently, and Joe, well, being Joe with all the passion he always brought to that song. every one of us on stage was in tears by the end of the tune. godspeed Joe and thanks for the indelible memories.
Jim Lang Saw Joe in Dunedin New Zealand 1982 Joe was not well and had to walk off stage Nick Hopkins started Hitchcock railway and the bassist took over vocals It was just totally professional Try and see that today
My Dad took me to see him when he came to South Africa....not many musicians come to South Africa so it was a very big deal. I will be forever grateful to my Dad for this.
No, but the put rap stars, motown groups, souls singers...see the link here??? They only put non-rock people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why not put Joe in the Black Music Honors Hall of Fame? He was a soulful as any of them.
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Never a more passionate singer. Joe Cocker put every fibre of his being into his trademark vocals. For us baby boomers, Cocker's rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends" can transport us back to those crazy days of the late 1960's. Indelible memories. It pleases me no end to see younger generations equally enchanted with his music. Godspeed Joe. RIP.
Yes I remenber this days with a lot of good smelling smoke. Wish i could go back sometimes. Saw him live in an Open Air in Germany, so good times in my live
That's How I Got By In 1978, Joe Cocker. And A Lotta Help From All My Friends, "God" Bless You All... Most Playing Heavenly Music Now Also... Tears Rollin.10-9-21
43 years old, kicking myself in the ass knowing I'll never be able to see this live, ever..... Eye's welling up wtih all the feels and vibes that I get from watching this and soaking it in. Absolute icon.
Every note that's being played is felt by the great Joe Cocker and you can see it in his face, his hands, his whole body, his soul and his voice. RIP LEGEND!
When Joe took this Beatles song out of the box at Woodstock, it burned it's way into the hearts and minds of millions. Now many people don't even know that anyone other than Joe ever sang it! 👌🎶🎶🤟💖
I learned about this song watching the TV show the wonder years when I got older I looked it up and found out the Beatles song it originally but Joe is more my style 💪🏾
@@merklingassoc I read in an article that during an interview he reavealed that 'You Are So Beautiful' was his favorite. Wow, awesome that you caught that in the passion with which he sang that beautiful song. I'd also read that his voice cracked at the end of that 1975 studio recording. He apologied for losing his voice, saying that he'd do it over. I don't remember who nor how many told him that his voice cracking was what put so much emotion into the song, providing the perfect ending. It couldn't have been scripted any better. They kept it in. Yes, I think you got that so right, that was soul, and it made the song his.
Was lucky enough to catch him live twice, the first time at the Heineken center in Amsterdam. Was standing 5 ft from the stage; as it was Amsterdam, smoking a big fatty. Offered it to him, he just looked at me, mouthed "thanks I'm good mate", and went into the next number... Even in his 70's he still had the voice... awesome experience.
One of my funeral songs, am 65+ yrs old, when I die this is one of my request song for my marching music... Never tired of this Joe Cocker song... It always put tears in my eyes😊
There will never be another. I am forever grateful to have witnessed Joe perform live when he opened for Tina Turner. That was one hell of a night between the two.
AGREED I'm out of Kent Ohio I seen him at 3Rivers in Pittsburgh my o my I was up close in the infield ""Great Show 👍peace ✌ 2all love ya in out of here
This is one of my favourite songs of Joe , and it truly signifies his position in Rock history and ballads. Great man RiP. The back up singers on this track are simply amazing.
I’m 69, I’ve got my children and grand children listening to Joe, they’re all blown away with his singing ability! What an under rated singer/legend! What a voice, and an absolute character!
That's so funny because I have a 31 year old daughter a 33 year old son and a 41 year old daughter. They all listen to all the music I grew up with, because that's all that was ever played in our homes and cars!! I often joke with them, hey does your generation have any good music? LOL Yes I know they do, however nowhere near the 60s and seventies, and Early 80's. The Very best years for music, this entire century!!!!!. They know all these songs by hearts. Should I ever meet a man who could sing to me like that, I wouldn't care what he looked like, how smart or wealthy, nor much of anything. I'd marry him tomorrow. Can you imagine being sung to like that every night? What an amazing turn on. Unfortunately, I learned this at about 50. I wish I had known this at 24. oh well when your beauty fades, and you find out what's really important in life, sometimes it's just a tad too late. Don't be a dumb you know what like me! Look always from inside out. Never from outside in. Words of wisdom from somebody who screwed up Big time!
I believe Joe was granted "carte blanche" permission to record any and all Beatles' tunes based on his performance of this song. An anthem for our time.
Maybe down to experimenting when younger, but my brain was fused to a time before my birth! I love the Woodstock-era music and I'm a massive Deadhead (they WERE there but their sound system didn't work, imagine the film with a proper Dead set!)
If this song doesn't move you, then you have no soul...this song has pulled me out of some dark places many a time...thank you Joe and rest in peace brother 🙏
@@paulmarsh8974 Having some health issues, but overall, I can't complain because my wife is my best friend...Hope all is well with you Paul...peace, much love, and respect...👊
There are mornings when I wake up and am so grateful for all the help my friends in AA have given me. I play this and cry all the way through. It breaks me apart and then rebuilds me. Thank you Joe. May God bless you and hold you safe in his arms forever. Amen
Hello, from a western neighbor! I hope you are well, my friend. My comment isn’t about saying poor pitiful me. Just stating a fact and wanting you to know I appreciate your comment, it was for a reason. I’m in a very low spot right now, and friendship is definitely a big reason. I’ve watched this video countless times, but this is the first time I decided to read comments. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence after seeing this comment, “peace to all…” and your comment being as new as it is! I want to offer a huge thank you for your comment, especially the quote from it I mentioned. It helps me. God bless you!!!
I am french too ; when I hear this song, I remember my brother listening to it I am 58 years old. Heis dead in 1976, aged of 20 dead I think he was happy when listening this song
@@Texan1981 i'm in peace now that's sure. Music is very important for me , i can travel through time and knowing other times like here and that is the best air line travel !
I remember being taken aback by this fabulous song. I live I the UK and had been through a tough time, my best friend bought me this. I still regularly listen to it. Thank you Joe
There will never be another Joe Cocker !!! He could take any song and melody and make it his very own!! The man was a genius and will never be forgotten!! Rip to you my friend!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
And the Woodstock version is the absolute best if you can find it❣️Saw it I believe in a PBS documentary about Woodstock~ Before my time, but I appreciate any great 🎶🎵
A genius ,i have been listening to him since I was a small boy since 1970 and I am still listening after 52 years later and I will till I pass on one day . He epitomized the Woodstock spirit till he passed on. Pure music
one of the most emotional song in the history of pop rock. An unforgettable black voice from an Englishman. A mythe of pop scene, a generous man, Joe Cocker, what else?
One of THE BEST versions I’ve heard him sing this song. It has made me cry 3 times listening to it right through 3 times. I’m a trained singer and I can’t help but love the raw emotion he brings out when he sings. He is a true legend. What a VOICE! RIP Joe Cocker. A one of a kind! Thank you for showing the world your talent and your love!
I finished listening to this and still crying bc we have lost so many great artists, starting with Hendricks, Joplin, Morrison, Bonham, Cobain, and so many more! 😔
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul…
There are very few covers of Beatles songs that are better than the originals. But Joe's "With a Little Help" is WAAAAY at the top of that mountain. Sheer, raw, emotion and soul.
It blew my mind when I first heard the Beatles version (had heard and loved Cocker's version first) and realised that fun little upbeat tune had spawned such a majestic cover.
I hate covers. I was born in 1977, so, I actually heard this version first I believe at any rate, I was 20 before I found out that the Beatles even sang it.
Back in 1974 I had a music teacher that challenged us with the question - "Did Joe Cocker do this song better than the Beatles?" Now it is a non question. Joe owns it,
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul…
Every child should hear this and be taught this is a life lesson and you should only wish to try to live with the passion this man has sharing his talent. Friends, children, Friends!
One of the greatest soul/ rock voices not only out of Sheffield but the whole uk , ✊🏼 an absolute legend 🎶 greatly missed, but thanks to TH-cam we can still enjoy him & his music 🎸🎵
How on earth to you take a Beatles song, and make it better?…..well, give it to Joe Cocker. You will not get a better cover than this, nor a better live performance…just stunning. A massive ‘shout out’ to the incredible backing singers for their beautiful contribution, as integral to this performance as Joe. Joe Cocker was one of those artists who has everything in buckets. Amazing voice, timing, stage presence, charisma. We miss you Joe, but have these fantastic archives to cherish. Thank you for posting this truly memorable performance. 💚🙏🏻
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏
I can’t count the time I’ve listen to this song, this version. I truly believe Joe put on a show that may be unmatched! I wrote a comment months ago, but along with Joe giving it all, you can’t forget about the band, and especially the back up singers! This song as others, will be played on and on an some might say even then, one of the all time greatest songs of all time! Just a fan, and think others feel the same. The younger generations will find this and be blowed away! RIP, MY FRIEND. JOE LIVES ON!
This song brings a tear to my eye but also makes the hair on my arms and neck stand up at the same time! This has to be one of the most inspiring songs of all time!!

He will never be forgotten, his fans will just keep growing, the legend.
He is great and i, i will never forget his songs and spirit
A true legend.
I turn him every morning
He just stood there and sang. No antics. He put his all into every song. Normal looking, no makeup. Just sang his heart out every time.
Proper old school.
Yep
Oui
Called "Soul."
Grown ppl music
Yes. Many of us are still here. And enjjoying quality music.
Thanks 2 YT... & Uploaders.❤
We are here
And we are very lucky x
Wont let go!
Soy fan de la vidA.paz.
Spectacular performance, also by the backing ladies. What energy!
Love those girls!
Truly speaking, Joe Cocker deserves to be inducted in the hall of fame! He contributed meaningfully in the music industry.
I am 100% with you on this.
HOF means nothing. It's a tourist trap.
Absolutely
He didn't write anything.
He is a fuckin legend. His performance in Woodstock 69 was amazing…
From South Africa . Tears just falling. It reminded me of my late father. He will play this record. May his soul rest in peace 🕊️
The hair on my arms stand up every time I hear Joe Cocker sing this song…absolutely powerful.
I cannot believe this great artist is not in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame yet!
I agree! I don't know who decides who is going to be in there but who ever decides need to rethink it because Joe Cocker does belongs in there.
Cause at 1 time he was a drunk & PEOPLE judge he as that & don't give him credit for changing his life around. I say SHAME on them.
Probably because he didn’t fiddle with kids
I remember looking for at John B Lee for the letter 5o years ago
Try 49 yrs yeh
There never will be another Joe cocker his voice come from the depths of his soul
I'm 82 y/o. Cocker still has a unique delivery.
God bless.
LOL why not.
Johnny Be good 👍
I felt his heart and soul in these great lyrics. This song will forever be relevant until the end of time. Thank you Joe!
The only man in history that took a Beatles song and made it his own and you gonna tell me that this man don’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame come on people what’s wrong with y’all?

Great musician, great voice and energy. Gives me the chills when watching and listening to Joe Cocker.♥️

What I loved about Joe Cocker, was he got lost in the moment of the music. Which made us all get lost. The most amazing thing about great music.

When Joe sang, I believed him! Only artist who made another's work better. Thank you Mr. Joe Cocker, RIP
🌠🎒
Beats the Beatles version hands down. Even Lennon said "That's how we should have done it." But it needed a soul man like Joe.
Hes no death as long as we remind him!

One of them looks like one I've seen in a live pink floyd show. They are extraordinary good
The closest one is a doll too….

Saw Joe in Dunedin New Zealand 1982
Joe was not well and had to walk off stage
Nick Hopkins started Hitchcock railway and the bassist took over vocals
It was just totally professional
Try and see that today
Thank you for sharing this with us. Is there any records of this event?
How is this man not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? For the love of God, he played at Woodstock, earned a Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe.
I know huh? It's absurd. This song by him is included in the 500 most influential songs, but with little fanfare.
He really should be. I hope someone will see your post and someone will do something about that.
My Dad took me to see him when he came to South Africa....not many musicians come to South Africa so it was a very big deal. I will be forever grateful to my Dad for this.
No, but the put rap stars, motown groups, souls singers...see the link here??? They only put non-rock people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why not put Joe in the Black Music Honors Hall of Fame? He was a soulful as any of them.

I’m 69, I’ve got my children and grand children listening to Joe, they’re all blown away with his singing ability! What an under rated singer/legend! What a voice, and an absolute character!
He was never under rated.
That's so funny because I have a 31 year old daughter a 33 year old son and a 41 year old daughter. They all listen to all the music I grew up with, because that's all that was ever played in our homes and cars!!
I often joke with them, hey does your generation have any good music? LOL Yes I know they do, however nowhere near the 60s and seventies, and Early 80's. The Very best years for music, this entire century!!!!!. They know all these songs by hearts.
Should I ever meet a man who could sing to me like that, I wouldn't care what he looked like, how smart or wealthy, nor much of anything. I'd marry him tomorrow. Can you imagine being sung to like that every night? What an amazing turn on. Unfortunately, I learned this at about 50. I wish I had known this at 24. oh well when your beauty fades, and you find out what's really important in life, sometimes it's just a tad too late. Don't be a dumb you know what like me! Look always from inside out. Never from outside in. Words of wisdom from somebody who screwed up Big time!
I believe Joe was granted "carte blanche" permission to record any and all Beatles' tunes based on his performance of this song. An anthem for our time.
I must say my friend it's 2023 and I'm still listening to the oldies but goodies !😊
That was a truly epic performance, I envy the people who were at this great concert.
R.I.P. Joe Cocker.
Yep wish I was there too
No entiendo? Lo bueno siempre bueno y pocos es tan a su altura?
Me too!
Rock and roll legend right there. Will never grow tired of this masterpiece!
The year is 2023, and this song still give me goosebumps… how about you guys?!
re-listening to it from time to time. Joe was incredible.
Always.🔥💕
All the time!!!!!
Maybe down to experimenting when younger, but my brain was fused to a time before my birth! I love the Woodstock-era music and I'm a massive Deadhead (they WERE there but their sound system didn't work, imagine the film with a proper Dead set!)
Joe was an amazing artist. He could sing anything and was amazing!
This man's got soul, rhythm & pure talent. What an icon Joe Cocker is ✌️
If this song doesn't move you, then you have no soul...this song has pulled me out of some dark places many a time...thank you Joe and rest in peace brother 🙏
uno de los grandes de nuestra época...eso suena al tiempo de los dinosaurios...
tampoco así!!!
Hope you are in a good place my friend... Life is full of ups and downs.. Take care..✌
@@paulmarsh8974 Having some health issues, but overall, I can't complain because my wife is my best friend...Hope all is well with you Paul...peace, much love, and respect...👊
This song always reminds me of the big loss the musical universe suffer since Joe Cocker passed away.
@@FabFourable This version makes the Beatles version sound so bad. Sorry Ringo😮.
It's so amazing that this guy performed @ this age! What an icon!
There are mornings when I wake up and am so grateful for all the help my friends in AA have given me. I play this and cry all the way through. It breaks me apart and then rebuilds me. Thank you Joe. May God bless you and hold you safe in his arms forever. Amen
real friends... it should be AAA
Grew up on his songs and still listen at 65...why wouldn't you...fabulous

I'm french, i have never kwown the legendary Woodstock festival but i have a part of this legendary event here ! Peace to all who loves this song !
Hello, from a western neighbor! I hope you are well, my friend.
My comment isn’t about saying poor pitiful me. Just stating a fact and wanting you to know I appreciate your comment, it was for a reason.
I’m in a very low spot right now, and friendship is definitely a big reason. I’ve watched this video countless times, but this is the first time I decided to read comments. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence after seeing this comment, “peace to all…” and your comment being as new as it is! I want to offer a huge thank you for your comment, especially the quote from it I mentioned. It helps me. God bless you!!!
I am french too ; when I hear this song, I remember my brother listening to it
I am 58 years old. Heis dead in 1976, aged of 20 dead
I think he was happy when listening this song
@@laurence2198 Désolé pour votre frangin, si la chanson vous met un peu de baume au cœur c'est déjà bien 😊😉
@@Texan1981 i'm in peace now that's sure. Music is very important for me , i can travel through time and knowing other times like here and that is the best air line travel !
I remember being taken aback by this fabulous song. I live I the UK and had been through a tough time, my best friend bought me this. I still regularly listen to it. Thank you Joe
His music still and always will hold up !❤
There will never be another Joe Cocker !!! He could take any song and melody and make it his very own!! The man was a genius and will never be forgotten!! Rip to you my friend!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Many sang this song but Joe Cocker’s version has always been my all time favorite...soul stirring!! 💖🙏
Hello there
Hello how are you doing
Thanks for your compliment God bless you please can we be friends together
And the Woodstock version is the absolute best if you can find it❣️Saw it I believe in a PBS documentary about Woodstock~ Before my time, but I appreciate any great 🎶🎵
@@mikewilliams8196 ciao Mike! 🙋♀️😍😘💘
Very appropriate in these times. We all need a little help from our friends. Only Joe Cocker can perform this song with such passion.
Saw him in person, he is the best! The band was awesome and backup,oh my! I’m only 85
One of the many great Woodstock performances, sealed his place in music history !
A genius ,i have been listening to him since I was a small boy since 1970 and I am still listening after 52 years later and I will till I pass on one day . He epitomized the Woodstock spirit till he passed on. Pure music
'Genuis' as the word correctly means, is going too far.
He's fantastic, even sublime at what he does, but genuis 'no'
@@tman5634 That's your opinion
omg. that part.. do you need anybody? followed by joe's solo scream. epic. gives goosebumps.
Its one of the most powerful seconds in rock history...purely amazing!!
5:03 Thank you 😄
4:56 The chorus woman's expression is cute
This Song will Rock forever in our Hearts ❤
He felt the music through his whole body and spirit, and that just moved the whole room
one of the most emotional song in the history of pop rock. An unforgettable black voice from an Englishman. A mythe of pop scene, a generous man, Joe Cocker, what else?
Nice words thanks
Definitely.
Great artist and performer. He is never gone, because his music will stay forever. Good, we had him! Thx for my memories with this kind of music.
Another Legend from Woodstock
One of THE BEST versions I’ve heard him sing this song. It has made me cry 3 times listening to it right through 3 times. I’m a trained singer and I can’t help but love the raw emotion he brings out when he sings. He is a true legend. What a VOICE! RIP Joe Cocker. A one of a kind! Thank you for showing the world your talent and your love!
I finished listening to this and still crying bc we have lost so many great artists, starting with Hendricks, Joplin, Morrison, Bonham, Cobain, and so many more! 😔
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul…
Forever in our hearts! Thank you, Joe Cocker! This one feels like a prayer! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
Amen xoxo
Hola
@@analorenasolis1997 Hola, estimada amiga! Muchas benediciones! Con la música y el talento de Joe Cocker!
Saludos desde Brasil! 👋👍🇧🇷
There are very few covers of Beatles songs that are better than the originals. But Joe's "With a Little Help" is WAAAAY at the top of that mountain. Sheer, raw, emotion and soul.
disagree hes a wanker ,,,not trolling i just think beatles and him shouldnt be in the same sentence
I heard him sing this live, it was electrifying. Brilliant
Nunca más habrá
Una Voz igual
A esta . D.E.P
Joe Cocker y
Gracias A usted..
It blew my mind when I first heard the Beatles version (had heard and loved Cocker's version first) and realised that fun little upbeat tune had spawned such a majestic cover.
I hate covers. I was born in 1977, so, I actually heard this version first I believe at any rate, I was 20 before I found out that the Beatles even sang it.
One of the best covers of a Beatles song.
Joe cocker one of the greatest artists of all time. Forever in my heart ❣️.
Incredible live rendition. And, the backup singers totally rock with Joe!!!!!!!!
Backup singers would be great on theierown
Hell yeah
Bullshit ay
No màte
Ño👎
Love this song. His backgrond Singers are KILLING it.....His band is FIRE
are you tone deaf
it’s his backing that’s saveing the song, worth out them he has no voice
@@brinmanfans9496 Two talented Black ladies so much better than his original backup.
This is the comment I was going to leave.
@@jawsxx8683 Clearly a group effort here. Pure magic.
I am
You hit the nail on the head
1 of favorites of all time
Nobody had the voice like Joe
Enjoy everyone !.Great 👍 song
Back in 1974 I had a music teacher that challenged us with the question - "Did Joe Cocker do this song better than the Beatles?" Now it is a non question. Joe owns it,
This song is one millions time better than.all the Beatles songs
This is easily in the top 3 of all time remakes better than the original if not #1
The only version better is the dead
We all need help! God bless!
True
In 69, This was my anthem. Now at 75, this version still speaks for my heart!
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul…
The emotion in this song is awesome. Brilliant.
the girls are amazing!
Yes they should have been out the front with Joe ,their vocals and dancing was magnificent
Do they have names ?
How could you not be inspired by the "Power and Respect' that Joe puts into this meaningful performance!
Every child should hear this and be taught this is a life lesson and you should only wish to try to live with the passion this man has sharing his talent. Friends, children, Friends!
How thanķful am i to have grown up with the likes of joe bless
He was one of a kind and every note and instrument playing went through him as he sang. No one did it better. Rock on Joe!

I...migliori...impareggiabili...oggi...la....musica....e....vuota......ciao.....gio....s.............
How on earth to you take a Beatles song, and make it better?…..well, give it to Joe Cocker. You will not get a better cover than this, nor a better live performance…just stunning. A massive ‘shout out’ to the incredible backing singers for their beautiful contribution, as integral to this performance as Joe. Joe Cocker was one of those artists who has everything in buckets. Amazing voice, timing, stage presence, charisma. We miss you Joe, but have these fantastic archives to cherish. Thank you for posting this truly memorable performance. 💚🙏🏻
Yes, these background singers are stunning performers. They help to burn this great song in my soul.
💯🙏🏽
I met Joe in Zurich, when he said hello having breakfast next to me, he was the most humble nice man, so talented and unassuming, RIP.
😀😁😁😁😁😁😁
What a beautiful soul
He was a good man
Still listening in 2024 Joe is absolutely brilliant what a performer he really was. RIP Joe miss you.
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days🙏🙏
Will never tire of watching Joe….his rendition of this classic over the decades is unsurpassed. An absolute legend.
Hello 👏 Dale McClenahan how are you doing today?
Awesome. I watch this over and over. But yeah he definitely seems to be pretty high on something

@@anelladambrosio2513 ¿Hola, cómo estás hoy?
@@davidmacos2916e bello sentirti David! Ho visto adesso il tuo messaggio... Buona giornata! 🙋♀️😊😍😘💘🌄🍀
I can’t count the time I’ve listen to this song, this version. I truly believe Joe put on a show that may be unmatched! I wrote a comment months ago, but along with Joe giving it all, you can’t forget about the band, and especially the back up singers! This song as others, will be played on and on an some might say even then, one of the all time greatest songs of all time! Just a fan, and think others feel the same. The younger generations will find this and be blowed away! RIP, MY FRIEND. JOE LIVES ON!
This song brings a tear to my eye but also makes the hair on my arms and neck stand up at the same time! This has to be one of the most inspiring songs of all time!!
Beyond words this version is...
Saw him sing this Live here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Tina Turner during her Farewell Tour! Blew me away!!✌
Still listening..
With a little help FROM MY FRIENDS ❤
