    At age 66 now, I feel sorry for the younger generations that did not come of age during this time. There were so many things about that era that will never be repeated, but the explosion of music, from psychedelic rock to Motown to The British Invasion, you lived every day with the expectation of something novel and mind-blowing hitting the airwaves. God, what a time!

      There is so much they have aside the Charts that is great - but when were the Charts or Radio ever playingf the real good Stuff?
      Ive seen Kids on the Street combining 20's Swing and 60s Soul to some Electronic Beat and a shredded Guitar - just for fun with their Smartphones and some MIDI-App.
      It is just as always: You gotta go into the Backalleys and hidden Clubs to find the great Stuff. It is just we old Fucks (me starting to get there as GenY/Millennial Crossover) just do not get there anyome nor get invited (normally).
      I agree and Science does that your Time was the most creative and high Quality when it comes to Music. But we have the Interwebs and thus can get this music. We have People like us loving that Music and showing it to the others. And Music is a Spirit, ans a Spirit only dies when noone has it anymore in him.

    Joe Cocker gave everything he had in his body for every song he did. Most people today would not understand the music back then.

    My wife and I married in 1972. Among our wedding presents were two tickets to a Joe Cocker concert at Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto, Canada. The night of the concert the place was packed to the walls .. not one unsold seat. Aside: If you used a stadium washroom that night you'd be totally stoned when you walked out; the weed smoke in there was thick as pea soup .. nice bonus. Joe had the whole place absolutely riveted with his enormous power and soul. The Vietnamese War was raging then; during the mid-show break he asked the house to turn off all the lights and the audience to 'light a flame for peace'. Thousands pocket lighters lit up in that enormous, dark space .. like stars in the sky. That concert made me a Joe cocker fan for life. He died three days before Christmas in 2014 at the age of 70 (he had smoked 40 cigarettes a day until he quit in 1991). His final live performance, was at the Loreley Open Air Theatre in Sankt Goarshausen on 7 September 2013. Rest In Peace Joe .. you touched a so many hearts and minds everywhere at a very difficult time in the world.

    Hey there Da Real Adogg. Here's a couple of things about this Performance from Woodstock (1969) that you may not be aware of. To begin with the "Backup Singers" missed their flight and therefore couldn't make it in time, so the rest of the band did their best to fill in for them. For Better or for Worse. Also, the song that he's singing here, "With a Little Help From My Friends" is originally a song written and performed by "The Beatles." The Beatles gave Joe permission to use this song for Woodstock and once they saw Joe's performance, they actually gave that song to him, saying Joe Cocker "Owned this song" after that awesome performance. Pretty cool, right?
    Well, carry on my friend & enjoy... Cheers...

He just moved like that. It's how he expressed his feel for music. He lived til 70 which while not being ancient, either of those diseases would have cut it much shorter, it was cancer that took him out. I just wanted a clear picture of this man.

    Woodstock was a massive music festival and an historic event in 1969. Few tickets were sold but 450,000 people showed up, demanding free entry, which they got due to nearly nonexistent security. The show lasted more than three days and three nights and featured the most well-known and soon-to-be-famous rock stars of the 60s.

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" etc.

    I had the Woodstock album for a while, first release, too long ago to remember what happened to it. Cocker was it, but we had Hendrix, Joplin, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and on and on. Music was powerful then, changed a lot of minds and lives. Today the power is in the kilowatts burned for sound and lighting and everything else. The power of Cockers "You are so beautiful" snuck up on us. Neil Youngs "Down by the river" and "Old Man" knocked us down then picked us up again. Hendrix made us wonder what could be done with a guitar, Zeppelin showed us some of that. We thought it wouldn't end until the day Mo' Town, and the Woodstock bands, weren't on the radio anymore.

"Up where we belong'"...He was comfortable in his own skin and didn't care how he looked while performing on stage. He sang his heart out to millions. Sadly, He died of Lung Cancer in 2014 at age 70.

Joe took songs other artists and bands had already done, and put his own stamp on it. May I suggest you listen to When the Night Comes, a song he did later in his career, but a great one. I love all his stuff. Was lucky enough to see him 3 times in concert; sadly we lost Joe a few years ago. THE MAD DOG, THE ENGLISHMAN, MR JOE COCKER!

      NO ONE will ever duplicate Joe Cocker! One of a kind in the truest sense of the word.
      Rest in Peace, Joe, and thank you.❤️❤️❤️

    Fun watching Joe's spastic yet amazing moves and hearing him singing again. He is like a man possessed on that stage!

    Saw the original and it still makes my hairs stand up. One of several outstanding performances at Woodstock. This is a classic, it'll never age and it'll never disappoint. So glad it's still getting airplay.

      I think the songs he covered are better than the originals

    Joe was one of the best in this era...when my heart pumped the blood through my body and I felt so strong and alive...which I was at 24, now at 78, listening to Joe, again, the memories come and go...the tears flow for what could and should have been. I saw Joe in Atlanta, my home town, at the Ommi and it was awesome. Great music, good weed and wonderful friends. To be young and full of piss and vinegar....the music vibrates through every cell of my body. live free...die free....
