![WOW he was FEELING ALL OF THAT! | Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
I worked at a casino in Oregon in 2008. We had lots of shows there. I usually worked dispatch. I never worked the concerts. I saw that Joe Cocker was coming to do a show. I signed up for some overtime to work this one. When they were finished placing all the officers in their designated area, I still hadn't received where I would be doing security. They finally call my name and say, "We'll need you back in the green room with the artist." I was like, what?! Are you kidding me?! Needless to say, I greeted him off of his tour bus and showed him where he would be getting ready. I was freaking out! He was so nice and deeply humble. Right before he was going on, he asked me if it was ok if he held my arm on the way to the stage. It was dark, and he didn't want to trip and fall. Absolutely, Mr. Cocker!! After he went on stage, I was allowed to go out front and watch his show. Totally amazing. I'll never forget it. Even losers get lucky sometimes. 😉
Joe sang like he’s life depended on it !!!!!
This performance is legendary. The members of his band had to sing the backing vocals because the female backing singers got caught up in the chaotic traffic.
pretty funny how things work out - they sing falsetto back up vocals probably only once ever - and now probably over 100 million people have seen it
That is a Hammond B3 Organ. In the late 60s through the 70s it was the dominant organ used in rock. Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf, THe Allman Brothers Band, Procol Harum, The Band, and on and on.
Virtually every performance at Woodstock was phenomenal. In spite of the weather, in spite of the endless crowds, in spite of the problems, and in spite of (or because of) the drugs, the performers came through in a big way.
Forever music from that concert for sure!
With a little help from a Leslie speaker!
@@artieeffham355 Hammond B3 with a Leslie, man that was the perfect combination!!!! I think the Leslie had an actual rotating component to make it sound like that.
@@davidfrench5407 It did in fact have a horn, actually two back to back horns rotating at various speeds controlled by the organist through a pedal attachment. It’s quite an invention.
The early 60s also. “Green Onions” which came out in 61 or 62 used a Hammond organ. As did some of Ray Charles early music.
No auto tune at Woodstock, just many of the best musicians of that time playing their hearts out and singing for eternity in that historic concert weekend in 1969. Any performance at Woodstock is worth seeing/hearing but check out Jimi Hendrix and his defining set there, do Voodoo Child and be amazed! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I still don't get it how people belive it woud be autotune. It wasn't introduced until 1997. That's how ruined music has got to be that people belive it's not made by a powerfull voice or realy good musicians.
Proudly waving my hippie hands in the air, I was there. Attendance was estimated at 500,000 people! Yes, it was indeed at Woodstock. It was a sea of mud, but everybody was incredibly kind to everybody else. ❤😊☮️✌️🕊
Almost 55 years later is awesome. I wonder how many of the 500k can still say that? Has to be _the_ most historic music event in history, perhaps only topped by the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Gotta seem like almost a dream to you now.
I mean, a few ODs here and there but better than Lollapalooza
Those poor farmers had no idea what was going to show up
@@ryanw3658 🤣 You might know that farmer Yasger volunteered his 600 acres to host that festival. Possible the required shutdown of the New York State Thruway was a bit of a surprise. 😀✌️☮️✌️
O man that must of been unreal 🤩 I was 20 at the time, long hair, beard and groovy pants. There was lots of green and we all loved each other. Thanks Maddy for the memories.
Iconic Woodstock ,I was there in 69. 17 years old with no money, I ate every day I slept were ever I wanted . The music from that era will never die even when all who there pass away. Joe Cocker brought so much passion and soul to his cover.
Totally agree, a couple years before I had a car so no Woodstock for me, I was 14 but we the tickets at the record store where they were selling them, totally envious! The music of the late 60s and the 70s will never die, just like Mozart and Beethoven, Classic Rock will always have listeners. The music of our youth was just too good, we hit the musical lottery for being Baby Boomers!
@@vicprovost2561 Poland
A few of my buddys showed up and asked If I wanted to to a concert said sure we got about 2 miles from fields and walked in no tickets. Missed about 1/2 half of the first day, after the last day we stayed around to help clean up.I got back home 2 days after and was grounded by my mom for a week it was well worth it lol.
@@vicprovost2561
Same age as me , you must have smoked some red leb and dropped a tab of acid , I did .Young beautiful days.Respect .Peace, Love .
My first smoke experience was hashish before regular weed. Then came acid, speed, mescaline, peyote, and who-remembers what else but never anything hard. By the time coke came around I was done with it all so never snorted. The worst thing nowadays would be edibles, don't like smoking it.@@CliveAdlam-yn8uz
He's the reason that at 13 three girls ran off to Woodstock. I turned 14 at Woodstock. Watching these videos take me back to when life was so simple. This is the spirit that keeps boomers going.
When Joe Cocker died, Paul McCartney said about the cover version: "It was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful for him for doing that."
I worked there, directing traffic and such. We all saw how that worked out. Of all the astounding performances this is my favorite. That festival was second to none, never to be equalled.
I don't know why but this song and his performance has tears running down my cheeks. ❤😊
We didn't have such thing as autotune in 1969 no computer enhancement at all. Pure talent.
From the UK ~ I grew up in Sheffield, same as Joe Cocker. The band had two beautiful back up singers caught in the epic traffic jam on the way to Woodstock. That’s why the band’s singing falsetto. Joe did wonderful covers of Bob Dylan’s I shall be released, Just like a woman & Catfish, and Leonard Cohen’s Bird on a wire & First we take Manhattan. A great singer.
Hey Steve, I too was born and lived in Sheffield until I was 17, 1974. Went to schools there, saw Joe once in his later years. Still my favourite.
I was so blessed to have lived through those years,60,70,80'90's and the raw talent we had. We thought it would never end one great artist after another, sometimes so many at one time. There are some modern artists but so few as recording companies are just interested in most sales. So they could care less if the song is auto tune and no one goes out on tour
Cocker was the best. His voice sounded like he washed down a mouthful of broken glass with a bottle of moonshine.
Maddie, I believe the organ used in the song and was ubiquitous in the 60's and 70's was a Hammond B-3. It was and still is an integral part of Southern church choirs. After my past comments about Peter Frampton' voicetube, I'm afraid to make any definitive statement about the 60's and 70's(even though I lived through It). I apologize to you and your viewers for making that now obvious misstatement. I the time I thought it was true. But in life, we live and learn. I'm not going to make any snide or snarky comments about those who corrected me. That's foolish. I just hope we all can have polite, respectful, and kind comments to each other. Maddy, I thank you for your curiosity of what went on before your time, what is happening in the world today, and what the future will bring. Unfortunetely, I was not at Woodstock, I was across the world at that time.
Hug 🤗
Yes. It's a Hammond B-3.
I believe the Hammond B-3 is correct
The Hammond B-3 was a vital part of rock from the mid-60’s and forward. Bands like Uriah Heep and in particular Deep Purple used the Hammond B-3 in their music.
Yes used the B3 for at lot of sound effects.
❤1969 Woodstock☮
I was at Woodstock for all 3 days. The music was legendary but the comraderie among the young people there was even more amazing. When I first got there I was concerned that there were so many people and nobody in charge. But I quickly realized that this was something different and special.There were no fights and everyone was helping each other. People collected food to distribute to people who didn't bring enough. People wandered from one part of the area to another just to interact with each other. I bought a hippie belt from some people who made them and were selling them. It was an unforgettable experience.
@jimreedy1960 Really? All 3 days. I would've thought the 1960 in your name would be the year you were born and that would make you 9. LOL. But yeah I wish I was there but I was only 9.
1 of the greatest performances of all time. It's like opening a time capsule. Greatness at its finest!!!!
Close to half a million people attended this festival. All roads leading in and out were literally shut down. Three days of peace and music. ❤️❤️❤️
Not that it matters now, but there were 250, 000+ people there... time and the internet tends to inflate the numbers.
@@jrsinsfit was closer to 400,000
Peace and Rock N Roll, yes! Along with debauchery, drugs and filth from mud and feces! 😂 I’m happy I was too young to go and got to enjoy the music from clips. But, I was always a square!
Peace love and rain
Hammond B3 organ with Leslie speakers...THE organ of real Rock and Roll!
Was our favorite. Every tried to sing and Dance like him after that.
The smile on your face does this ol' hippie heart good.
Probably the best cover of a Beatles song ever. I was 10 years old when Woodstock happened. My brother was 20 years old and he was there. He came home all caked with mud and I was upset that I couldn’t go with him.
A star was Born at that moment at Woodstock
One of the best live performances ever, just the soul that Joe oiured out is fantastic
Joe Cocker 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.
Absolutely love "Space Captain" by Joe, written by him and Leon Russell
You Can Leave Your Hat On and Unchain My Heart are killer Joe Cocker songs as well. ✌️
I can't get enough of this Joe Cocker performance. Always watch when it shows up on my feed.😊❤
Joe Cocker's air guitar is worth a fortune now.
Legendary performances by legendary artists at Woodstock! The Who, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Crosby Stills and Nash, Joan Baez, Country Joe and the Fish!
Top act on the day at Woodstock was Ten Years After.
@@Reardonsteel236Nahh.. though I was always into the Ten Years After performance, I’d have to say that Santana’s “Soul Sacrifice” stole the show, and they were totally unknown outside of the Bay Area at the time.
Great song, thank you for the reaction Maddy, as always, appreciate your time!
What a great performance, certainly one of the wildest Beatles covers
Alas, I was still in junior high when this happened. But I quickly became a Joe Cocker fan. And after hearing songs from the Mad Dogs And Englishmen Tour, I also fell in love with Leon Russell. On a regular basis I'll play the video of the Tour doing both this song and Give Me A Ticket For An Airplane. :-)
The keyboard instrument is the legendary Hammond B-3 Organ and Leslie Speaker Model 122R. There is also a Leslie Model 122 however, it does not have reverb. The original Hammond B-3 was manufactured in Chicago, IL. FROM 1955-1974. It is the Hammond model preferred by jazz and rock organ players, such as Fats Waller, Wild Bill Davis, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, Sonny Burke, Keith Emerson, Charles Earland, Jon Lord, Brian Auger, Steve Winwood, Procol-Harem, Santana, Joey DeFrancesco, and Barbara Dennerlein.
Jimmy Smith popularized the Hammond organ, and its technique of using drawbars and pedals. Having found success in jazz, the Hammond organ became popular in rhythm and blues, including Booker T. & the M.G.'s and other Stax Records artists.
The Hammond was one of the first mass-produced musical instruments which combined the electrical, mechanical and acoustic worlds-it is a keyboard instrument that could produce totally new sounds, and at the same time "imitate" other acoustic instruments. The production of electromechanical organs ceased in 1974. Thereafter, Hammond built fully electronic organs.
Today, Hammond-Suzuki range of electronic draw bar organs, starting with the 2002 release of a digital B3 model that mimics the design and functions of the classic B3 (without the weight). This model, as well as newer units, can be partnered with real, mechanical, rotor speaker cabinets, also from the company. Hammond-Suzuki now manufactures organs in Elmhurst, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.
I had a guitar teacher that told me I don’t really feel the music, and never really knew what he meant. And then I see Joe Cocker and that’s what feeling the music is
I was stationed at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, TX when this historic event happened. In June, 1969, only 2 months before Woodstock, my roommate and I rode our BMW motorcycles up to Denver, CO to attend the Denver Pop Festival. We knew we were WAY beyond the mileage limitation from the base, but we didn't care. We both had the weekend off and we were going. Among the acts were Big Mama Thornton; Credence Clearwater Revival; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Joe Cocker; Johnny Winter; Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention; Poco; The Flock; Three Dog Night; and the headliner: The Jimi Hendrix Experience. All 3 nights while we were there, announcements were being made about which bands were signing up to play at Woodstock, and every night I was blown away by the number of THE BEST groups and soloists that were being added to the already impressive list! I couldn't go to Woodstock because I didn't have enough "leave" time saved up for the trip. But I totally enjoyed the Denver Pop Festival!
The special organ sound was created by the speakers. The speakers are working with a rotating double horn for the high tones. In the 80s I worked with a blues band in Hamburg (Germany) and our keyboarder had one of these - very heavy 😅😎
By the way - the speakers are Leslie speakers 🤪🤗
That keyboard is the Hammond B-3 organ. Very popular in the 60s-70s
SANTANA at Woodstock,,,,SOUL SACRIFICE !!!! THANKS
That’s the classic sound of the Hammond B3 organ. When paired with Leslie speakers, magic ensues. Great observation.✌️❤️🎶
I was only 11 yo and lived in Denver, But years later I was working with a co worker and he was from upstate NY he is 10 years older and he told me he was at the Concert and I laughed like sure you were. Well the next time I went to his house, he had the movie on VHS and he had it cued up to where the concert turned into a free event and people were knocking over the chain length fences and I will be damned if he wasn't filmed doing that with another buddy and his girl friend I was blown away. Of course that night he talked about the whole experience! while we smoked a few joints! 😜
Joe did a terrific job. I felt bad for the off key backup singer. Even the other guy was looking at him like "get it together," to no avail.
so much heart and soul into a song.......................no one does it better than Joe
That is the distinctive sound of a Hammond B-3 organ with Leslie Speaker.... There is no other sound like it when it comes to a keyboard instrument and you are correct, many Rock bands used the Hammond and Leslie. Good catch!
Max Yasgur, owner of the farm where Woodstock was held, addressing the crowd (excerpts), "I’m a farmer……
I don’t know how to speak to twenty people at one time, let alone a crowd like this. But I think you people have proven something to the world ..........This is the largest group of people ever assembled in one place. ..........But above that, the important thing that you’ve proven to the world is that a half a million kids - and I call you kids because I have children that are older than you are - a half million young people can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music, and I - God Bless You for it!”
I went to one of his concerts. Grande Ballroom 1968. He was amazing!🔥🌹
Awesome song. He is feeling himself in this one. I think Joe and his friends may have been doin something back stage😂
Seems likely 😂😂😂😂
@@MaddyReactions There may have been drug use, but Joe Cocker was always like this, he really FELT the music. Some folks thought there was something wrong with him, but no, it's just that he 100% immerses himself in the music.
It's also that he wiched he learnd how to play piano or guitar. Knowing that in context hes clearly air-guitaring or playing air.piano with his fingers. So no hes not on drugs. The music is enough drug for him.
Just getting to this.. but yes ma’am. That keyboard sound was iconic. The Harmon Kadron electric organ. It was replaced by synth organs in the 70’s (The minimoog) Lenny Kravitz revived both in the 90’s and I’ve been waiting for a comeback since then.
🇨🇦 Actual estimates say there were over a million people thru the 3 days, and best estimates for any one band/group performance was half a million ! The boys backing Joe Cocker tried their best to cover for Joe's backup singers who were unable to get through the crowd in time to perform ! The song of course, was written and performed by the Beatles, before given to Joe who added Soul !
Another great Woodstock performance was " White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane !
RIP Joe one of the greatest singers of all time, a staple of the rock and roll scene for decades.
Think about this the Vietnam war was in full swing,I was just a little kid in 1969,I can remember seeing it on the news and my dad was in the U.S.A.F.
If you remember woodstock you wasn't there. Ah Joe one my top 3 singer. The song is from the beatles album but Joe made it a big hit for Sir Joe Coocker, There was only 3 singers I bought All of there albums.. Elton John, Joe Coocker and Bob Seger....
The Plumber from Sheffield, United Kingdom..
Joe Cocker didn't sing songs, he experienced them and let the rest of us in on that experience. This song, in particular, is often credited to Joe Cocker rather than to the Beatles, which is one hell of an accomplishment. It was written for the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, but Joe brought a unique life to it, and this is the definitive performance.
Btw 808s came out in the mid 80s. It was the sound of hip hop techno,acid house and the whole rave movement
As documented in the Joni Mitchell song made HUGE by CSNY" Woodstock"....they shut down the NYS thruway sliding in the mud, running around naked and amazingly for the time getting along with the police... You should check out the movie Woodstock . The performance that I enjoy above Hendrix(,The Who, Santana , CSNY is ....Ten Years after " I'm Goin' Home" it is awesome. Alvin Lee shreds his guitar drives a beat and cuz it can get kinda chilly in upstate NY in August with his respiration flowing out of him.
You have to watch Santana playing “Soul Sacrifice”and so many more from the concert.Amazing
You should hear him break your heart with his rendition of YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. It is live and very true. Or the gutbucket growl he brings to UNCHAIN MY HEART. Enjoy
peace and love
I believe that "that sound" that you refer to in the beginning is a Hammond B3 electric organ with a Leslie outboard speaker and a microphone. Also, there were supposed to be female backup singers doing those intermittent parts, but they got tied up in the traffic clusterf*** so other band members took those parts.
Most artists get inspired my their muses. Joe Cocker got possessed by his. No exorcism is necessary, this was perfection.
There are few people that could cover a Beatle song and make it their own, but Joe Cocker did.
Beatles song , Sergent Peppers album 1967, lennon, mcCartney .Great expression from Mr. JOE COCKER .RIP.First sung by Ringo Starr .
I wasn't at this amazing festival, but seeing Joe live was a performance I'll never forget. SO FUN!!!
That's a Hammond B-3 organ, with a Leslie rotating speaker. It really came out of Black Gospel music in the Black churches, then was adopted by jazz (especially Jimmy Smith). It found its way into rock music through groups like Argent, Procol Harum, The Rascals (or Young Rascals), and The Allman Brothers Band.
What was crazy is his female singers couldn't get to the concert so the guys had to sing their parts. And did a fantastic job.
No autotune, I think that's Woodstock.
the one and only Mr.Joe Cocker.we all can be glad that there are records of his many songs.someone like him was uniq and probably there will never be anyone like him again.RIP Joe
Saw Joe Cocker a couple times. 2 hours felt like 16 minutes. He definitely left us wanting more
Such a unique voice. Noting wrong with his movements. He once said that once he got into the zone, that's just what his hands did 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
He was fun to watch!!
@@MaddyReactions Cool 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My favorite version of this song. Joe Cocker did many great songs including for movies
So unique. Definitely one of a kind. Woodstock was THE greatest rock festival of all time. Tons of artists. 3 days of mud and music. All 3 days were recorded and was a triple album !
Excellent reaction, I love Joe Cocker, well done!
The reason the camera kept focusing on his hands is because Joe Cocker was known for his wild, ecstatic movements as the music took him over. In fact, though, he wasn't out of control at all. If you watch carefully, you'll see he's not just playing air-guitar. He's playing air-bass, -drums, -keyboard, too. He's basically channeling all the music as it is played. And at the end, when he sings the line "I'm gonna bring it on home," he's letting the band, who are following his lead, know it's time to wrap up to that crescendo ending.
Fun fact: Joe Cocker had female back-up singers, but they couldn't get into the venue, so the other musicians had to do their best to cover the girls' parts. I think they did okay. The falsetto was a choice made in the moment, but I won't argue with results.
And yes, that was at Woodstock. It was about all the stuff you said, but not on purpose. It was a miracle, and it can never be repeated. The organizers actually planned for a crowd of about 50,000, but they ended up with about 500,000 people. That was the crowd you saw in the video. What happened was that a rumor started circulating that it was a free event, and that it was going to have this amazing roster of bands. So people started traveling in from all over the country and even other countries. They didn't find out that it actually was not free until they got there, but the people kept coming in such huge numbers that finally, the organizers gave up and threw open the gates. It could have been an absolute disaster on the order of Fyre Fest only bigger, but the cosmos seemed to take a hand, and it all worked out, somehow.
The town of Woodstock, NY, is just a small rural community. The event went there because a local farmer, Max Yazgur had some pasture land he wasn't using and agreed to rent it for a 50K-person festival. 50K was already more than double the population of the town and surrounding area. 500K was more than the whole county could handle. The highways in and out of the area got clogged and shut down entirely. If there were 500K at the event, there were thousands and thousands more who never made it because the roads were all closed, paralyzed. The town was completely overwhelmed with people. The local authorities were alarmed, and the state of New York declared a disaster. Things could have turned very, very bad.
But to their credit, the local residents and authorities responded calmly and with level heads. They cooperated to make sure bad things did not happen. Local people opened their homes for attendees to use the bathrooms. Local businesses donated equipment and food. There was a commune called the Hog Farm, led by a famous hippie who went by the nickname Wavy Gravy. He was so cool. Their thing was to spread universal love everywhere, and one of their activities was to provide support services to music and art festivals and events to help everyone have happy experiences. So they were at Woodstock to run the food tent for the festival. Well, the Hog Farm proved their worth that weekend. They reached out and coordinated with restaurants and grocery stores to donate food, which the Hog Farmers cooked continuously all day and night. They got sanitation companies to donate porta-potties. They organized and ran first aid care, and in an amazing show of enemies joining forces in a crisis, they cooperated with the state when they sent in a mobile field hospital unit, by helicopter from a nearby military base, to provide real medical services for people who got hurt, sick, etc. I do believe at least one baby was born there, because any woman who went into labor would be stuck. There was no way to get out of the venue.
Meanwhile, the organizers had had incredible success getting bands to sign on to perform. That could have been a clue that something cosmic was going on because they contacted everyone, aiming high, maybe hoping 1 out of 10 would respond. Almost every band they contacted agreed to perform, and they ended up with the greatest music line-up ever assembled. The roster was full of top-tier bands, and the only ones who backed out were the ones who physically couldn't get in. For example, Joni Mitchell, who wrote the song "Woodstock" about the event, was supposed to be there but couldn't do it. It was impossible. The musicians who did perform reported seeing such a crowd and being terrified. Like, omg, what is happening? But they all gave some of the best performances of their concert careers.
Woodstock can never be replicated, but I think we can all learn from it about how to handle a crisis and what it looks like when people pull together to solve big problems on the fly without wasting time on blame and hostility. Woodstock could have been a legendary disaster and even tragedy. It ended up being a legendary cultural high point.
Without question he was committed to the song. He feels the music.
54 years ago, and it never gets old. Joe was a once in a generation stage presence who’s covers were regularly better than the original.
The organ is indeed the Hammond B3 run through Leslie speakers that had a rotating horn that gave the sound a doppler effect (a train whistle seems high in pitch as it approaches & deeper in pitch as it recedes past you) of seeming to advance & recede the sound of the organ, it had two speed. That plus the volume pedal created the characteristic Hammond sound in Jazz & Rock.
Joe IS One of the Greatest Vocalists of all time...
Now thats how you sing a song!!! Use your whole body to project your voice! Also a little help from my friends works too!! 😁❤️💛
Right!!!
I heard that the ladies who were supposed to provide Joe's backing actually got stuck in the massive crowds (around 500,000 ) and they couldn't get to the stage in time, so the other guys in the band had to provide the backing, which explains why they sound a little weird.
For the ultimate Woodstock experience, try watching Ten Years After performing “I’m goin’ home”. Just make sure it is the full version, not just the edited highlights! It’s worth it, believe me!
The keyboard's a Hammond Organ. Probably a B3 if you want to get geeky about it. There weren't that many electric keyboards at the time. Organs, electric pianos and Mellotrons (it played tapes of strings, horns or voices) plus a few more. Synths did exist but they were huge and couldn't really be used live for most bands.
Still the absolute best ever cover version of a song in my opinion
I think the Beatles gave it to Joe, after hearing his version..
This is a Beatles song written by Lennon and McCartney/ Sung by Ringo Starr. i believe this is from SGT Pepper's album 1967. Cocker made it his own.Thank you Maddy
yes, second track from Sargent Pepper's.
People like Joe cocker come along once in a lifetime if your lucky, be grateful we were lucky, a total one off
A legend!
That organ sound is the Hammond B3. In the 60s and 70s, nearly all bands used one. In my opinion, they should be required equipment. 😊
Hammond B3: with Leslie to give that swirling sound.
Was too young to go then, but 40 years ago there was a thing called The Mid Night Movie where the local theater (no a mini plex but a REAL giant screen) played Woodstock w/a thing called Dolby Surround Sound. That is as close as you could get to recreating. Other movie concerts like The Song Remains the Same. Un cut, no breaks cranked to 11!.
try listening to Ten Years After doin "Im Going Home" from Woodstock. They brought down the house with that performance from what I was told...I was born in 70 so I wasnt there...lol
I was playing near there in a resort hotel. Some of the staff ran off for three days . There was 500,000 people in the crowd for three days and nights, including in the rain. There was one stage. There were no fights, no violence and no one was shot with a gun.
HEAVENLY,EVERY TIME I HEAR !
3 DAYS OF LOVE AND PEACE ❤☮
I saw Joe Cocker sing this in concert in 1969 - just a few months after this performance. I didn’t know who he was at the time, he was a new artist at the time. Nevertheless he blew my mind.
Ilove your work Maddy. old goldies.❣
Hi Maddy The Keyboard sound was from a Hammond B3 Organ and Leslie tone cabinet which was used by a lot of rock bands Young Rascals, Vanilla Fudge...
Joe played a whole air band with his body! Amazing, soulful masterpiece of a cover.
One of the highlights of the Woodstock festival superb version much better than the original by the Beatles
Oooh lol
If you haven't seen joe cockers Live performance in berlin
of " you are so beautiful" its a must.
Legend RIP
The organ was most likely a Hammond, which was famously played by Jon Lord in Deep Purple.
You have just witnessed one of the greatest performances I'm music
Vocals were awesome ❤
He had such a horrible, beautiful inspirational voice. Still one of my favorite albums. John Belushi did a hilarious impression of him on Saturday Night Live by its almost impossible to find online
