I was born in 81 but I have to agree. There is something very special about this period in music. I listen to it almost exclusively. I find new (to me) artists all the time.
Oh my God. I didn’t even realize Leon played guitar. He was always a good pianist and vocalist if you like that style. One of my favorite unsung heroes. From a musician. 🎶❤️
Leon put together a helluva band: Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner on drums, Carl Radle on bass, Don Preston on guitar, Bobby Keys and Jim Horn on saxophones, Chris Stainton (from the Grease Band) and the great vocal ensemble. You can't put together that lineup of names today
Cool man. Thanks for pulling that all together for me. I remember seeing the film in the theatre with ‘4 channel’ sound many, many years ago - and never quite go over it. I bought the album (double I think) and stripped the vinyl down to nothing from overplaying but it I confess that I haven’t heard this in decades - Where the heck have I been? Dunno… Thanks very much!
The whole hookup between Leon and Delaney & Bonnie and Eric, George and all the British rockers in '69'-'71 is one of the greatest, most musically fertile eras in rock history, not only for the music, but also for the drama. Delaney & Bonnie & Friends on Tour with Eric Clapton, EC's first solo album, George's All Things Must Pass, Dave Mason's "Alone Together," Mad Dogs, Derek & The Dominos...volumes upon volumes have been written.
RIP Joe Cocker....when I heard the news this is the first thing that went through my head...such a simple line and epic delivery...and I have no one to tell that he passed away...my friends just aren't cool enough
Leon's a pretty good guitar player,considering he's the best piano player I've ever heard in my life.That band looked like they had fun every time they played.
@@leomejia5492 That's right! Master Musician. We had no idea what their stories were. Only that the rides they took us on. Changed our vision every time. More & more sense was made open to our parents fixed minds. I SHALL BE RELEASED❤❤
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. SAW THEM. INSIDE JOE'S MIND. YOU'LL RECOGNIZE ALOT OF HOW TOO'S🎉😂. WHATS COOL IS WE CONTRIBUTED TOO EACH OTHERS SUCCESSES. NO HARM NO FOUL MAN! WE GREW!!!! THAT WAS THE FULL INTENTION. NO RIVALRIES. WE WERE HIGH & HAPPY
Leon Russell... what a talent! He was the first-call piano player for the Wrecking Crew for many years. If you know music, you know that's praise indeed. He was also a great guitar player and what a singer!
WOW! I can't imagine how this must have blown your mind. The USA was directly put in conflict from what our parents had designs on. This time period was OUR FIRST UPRISING into a HIGHER POWER
Check out Rod with The Faces covering "Baby I'm Amazed" live just before he went solo in the US---with Ronnie Wood (pre-Stones) and Kenney Jones (pre-Who). The whole show is great.
Joe, he took his Ray Charles influence, and made fantastic music his whole life.. always great, never made a bad record, never mailed it in.. immortal 😂
What an amazing talent. One of the best cover artists of all time. He made iconic songs like Cry Me a River, Feelin' Alright, The Letter, Just Like a Woman and of course With a Little Help From my Friends at Woodstock is own with his unique style and phrasing. I loved the Mad Dogs and Englishmen album when I was in high school. We will miss you Joe!
Damn, NOBODY could be Beatles songs better than The Beatles ... except for Joe Cocker ... THESE were the days, young ones. THESE were the days! Early high school for me. Gotta a time machine? Let's go back! Peace.
You got that right. Early '70 my brother took me to Coliseum to see this concert . Then saw them when the ballerina cam down suspended from rafters proned out. They lowered her. SOOO still it was an immaculate performance! Looking at Joe then the ballerina. Not knowing what was happening next. Coliseum again. Filled with smoke. All of us, all kinds of us, shoulder to shoulder watching watching. Taking the words in. Had major crush on Leon Russell. Man. Could he make those keys dance! Holy Jesus these were God Given Talents right in front of us. Mind bending alterations that opened us up. Transformed our minds. Opened our heads. A new period of life was well in swing! 🎉🎉
I met Joe Cocker twice in 1969 we shared a quart and a joint the first time the 2nd time Joe was trying to clean up his act and we talked for an hour about his time as a teenager and his favourite entertainers he was a nice guy I know some said he could be a nasty piece of work but he never came across that way. Oh I met him because I was bass guitarist for studio sessions good times then life got in the way.
w0w...takes me back to my hippie days 4 sure...feel 40 years younger...now this got me in the mood 4 Janis Joplin....pLaY On u oLd hIpPies...Find more of our Old Songs...This new generation doesn't know what their missing....
Love to see Leon Russell's color-block stitching on the outside--long sleve shirt---with a tank top over it. Way to recycle clothes Leon! God rest yours and Joe's soul. Thanks for blessing us with so much heart-felt music and fashion sense!!! You Gods of Rock!!
..continued ..Leon not only used the venue's sound system, but his own as well. The club where I saw him several times had a big bowl of earplugs for those who wanted them! I wanted to hear every note and nuance. Now when my Tinnitus bothers me, I think of Leon and all the great performances I witnessed!
These guys were absolutely awesome. Mad Dogs is one of my favorite all times album. I saw Joe Cocker in Jacksonville, Fla in the 70's... don't remember too much... eating brownies ya know.. but a good time was had
I love this video and I love that movie! The MD&E tour was put together for Joe by Leon Russell in two weeks. Leon gathered the musicians, created the arrangements and off they went to create Rock and Rule history. I'm glad the younger folks are starting to re-discover this era. It was truly magical! Laughlane - Leon found the Holy Trinity t-shirt at a thrift store right before the tour). Mr. Quay Lude, you're right, this is REAL good! 8 >)...
Thank you Lord for allowing me to see Mr. Cocker twice: 1974 and 2003. Small venues, sat about 30 feet away at the Cotillion in Wichita, KS. I still have his hat. It sits above my bar. God, the memories.
Leon was the man! Saw him once in Chicago with the Shelter People. We snuck in into the venue and got lucky with some open seats. I believe Freddy King opened but it may have been Albert King. Around 1972 or so.
No problem. Check out Freddie's version of Don Nix's "Going Down" on the "Gettin' Ready" album with Leon on piano. It's a classic and might ring a few bells..!
Palace Theater , Peoria , I l. on the big screen . Mad Dogs and Englishmen . Joe , Leon , and all the rest took us on a trip . What a beautiful Soul ! Long live Joe Cocker !!
Another connection with the beatles: The sax player is Jim Horn, and the guitars by Leon Russel. Both played with George Harrison, most notably the concert for Bangladesh
man ohhh man I was very sorry to hear about Joe Cocker its sad he was great had a great sound and style 70yrs young well hes hopefuly singin for GOD now rest in peace . wish his famlly much love .
On this day in 1969 {December 6th} "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" by Joe Cocker entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on February 1st, 1970 it peaked at #30 {for 2 weeks} and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... On the day Joe Cocker's covered version enter the Top 100, the album 'Abbey Road' was in its 6th week at being #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart... R.I.P. to John & George; and Mr. Cocker will celebrate his 70th birthday come next May 20th...
Love your raspy voice Joe. You ain't pretty nor fancy, but you do sing from your heart and soul. I can feel you feeling the words you are singing and that's why I love you brother! Did anybody else tell you?
Proud to be a boomer cause I experienced some of the best music ever created in those days!!!
I was born in 81 but I have to agree. There is something very special about this period in music. I listen to it almost exclusively. I find new (to me) artists all the time.
In every way I am so grateful that I lived in that time.
We rarely see Leon playing the guitar. Excellent.
Joe Cocker passed today...70 yrs old.
What a voice.
Goodbye Joe...thanks for all the tunes.
Look at how young our beautiful Leon Russell is here.
Whew, you’re not kidding…love me some Leon!
Yes. Young and beautiful and magical and perfect in all his imperfection.
I’m to busy listening to Joe Cocker’s passionate vocals blowing everybody off stage 🤩
Oh my God. I didn’t even realize Leon played guitar. He was always a good pianist and vocalist if you like that style.
One of my favorite unsung heroes. From a musician. 🎶❤️
Leon put together a helluva band: Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner on drums, Carl Radle on bass, Don Preston on guitar, Bobby Keys and Jim Horn on saxophones, Chris Stainton (from the Grease Band) and the great vocal ensemble. You can't put together that lineup of names today
Having been a sought after studio musician he had numerous musical contacts.
Perfect !
He was part of "The Wrecking Crew" so he had contacts and probably worked with them I'm sure all before
Played on every Phil Spector album
Cool man. Thanks for pulling that all together for me.
I remember seeing the film in the theatre with ‘4 channel’ sound many, many years ago - and never quite go over it.
I bought the album (double I think) and stripped the vinyl down to nothing from overplaying but it I confess that I haven’t heard this in decades -
Where the heck have I been? Dunno…
Thanks very much!
THANK YOU GOD FOR ME BEING 14 AT THAT TIME AND HAVING ALL THAT GREAT MUSIC!
Suz Valentino Amen to that. Looking for ward to hearing him in The Great Rock 'n Roll Band in heaven!
The whole hookup between Leon and Delaney & Bonnie and Eric, George and all the British rockers in '69'-'71 is one of the greatest, most musically fertile eras in rock history, not only for the music, but also for the drama.

the amount of talent on that stage is unbelievable.
Absolutely. With you.
Agree ….glad I was there and made it out through my personal bathroom window….😎
Just wish Delaney beat the shit out of Bonnie when he was drunk.
Spot one.. this is basically the Dominoes. The Grease band were amazing..
Multi talented gorgeous Leon Russell with great band and Joe Cocker
Rest in peace, Joe. Thanks for all the beautiful music.
There will never be another like you Joe Cocker.
A rare treasure the world has lost today. R.I.P.
43 years and still rocking as I sit here with my mom (now 79 years old) who first introduced me to this when I was 11
Thank you for the bucketful of emotions you gave me, Joe. Rest in peace
The pinnacle of hippie music! I'll always love this stuff.
RIP Joe Cocker....when I heard the news this is the first thing that went through my head...such a simple line and epic delivery...and I have no one to tell that he passed away...my friends just aren't cool enough
I feel your pain. I remember when Joe passed. Best wishes to you.
RIP Joe
Love what you wrote those 8 years ago…
Leon's a pretty good guitar player,considering he's the best piano player I've ever heard in my life.That band looked like they had fun every time they played.
I had no idea he played guitar, incredible.
@@scottthompson3493plays guitar, bass, drums, you name it
Stay Logical ! So happy to meet you!!! 🎉😊

Today April 2nd is your birthday dear Leon. I hope it's a wonderful one in Heaven playing with that heavenly choir
Rest in peace Joe. You were one of a kind & will be missed.
Definitely amazing
this still sounds great its a 1000 times better then the crap we have now days I was a year old when this came out
Leon Russell... what a talent! He was the first-call piano player for the Wrecking Crew for many years. If you know music, you know that's praise indeed. He was also a great guitar player and what a singer!
Loved him from Woodstock. Great music, great memories. RIP, Joe Cocker. You sir, were something special to behold!!
And yet.....
Joe Cocker is still not in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. 😳
How can that be?
Dolly Parton - Yes
Joe Cocker - No
Absolutely blows my mind!
RIP: Leon Russell.
After 40 years I see this live for first time: thank You, TH-cam.
This was my very first concert! I was 13 and a big Cocker fan!! Then I went to see the movie. All thanks to my big sister!!
wow.. a great experience! pottery27
WOW! I can't imagine how this must have blown your mind. The USA was directly put in conflict from what our parents had designs on. This time period was OUR FIRST UPRISING into a HIGHER POWER
Id like to be friends. I'm 68! OG HIPPY😂❤🎉. I HAVE STORIES & MORE MUSIC TO TURN YOU ONTO!
Everybody forgets Chris Stainton's contribution to this tour and to Joe's whole career. They still perform together to this day.
Agree he can tickle those ivories
Leon still rocks! Never knew he played guitar!
After watching that effort, I'm still not convinced he could - at least at that time. He should've stuck to piano.
@@komradepistoff6584 Tend to agree. Fabulous pianist, but as a guitar player he's a good pianist.
@@komradepistoff6584 Well who's playing the lead here..Leon right?
@@Mark27472aw, be nice, now... He's awesome on piano, good enough to fake it on guitar, and he is just really diggin' it. What's not to like?
What a great time to be alive Joe Cocker and Rod Steward alive and singing in the same time period.
Check out Rod with The Faces covering "Baby I'm Amazed" live just before he went solo in the US---with Ronnie Wood (pre-Stones) and Kenney Jones (pre-Who). The whole show is great.
Many others like Janis Joplin, Elvis, Beatles, Rolling Stones. What
an era. No autotuned etc.
10 years old didn't know what i was listening too but it's ringing now. Fucking badass❤❤❤
Greatest version of this song ! Leon and Joe are an amazing combination.
Perhaps with LR on piano, but surely they could've found a proper lead guitarist. That was a woeful solo.
Awful version of the song
Even with all those fantastic musicians backing him, no one could outshine the great Joe Cocker. 🤩
Joe, he took his Ray Charles influence, and made fantastic music his whole life.. always great, never made a bad record, never mailed it in.. immortal 😂
What an amazing talent. One of the best cover artists of all time. He made iconic songs like Cry Me a River, Feelin' Alright, The Letter, Just Like a Woman and of course With a Little Help From my Friends at Woodstock is own with his unique style and phrasing.

Ah, if only to have a time capsule and go back to watch him in his prime! I’m only 49, but Joe is one of my all time favorite vocalists.
I was lucky enough to see him then there were a lot of great performers back then but he really stood out
those was the days,nice album back in 1970.
I love Leon..! God bless Joe, Leon, Carl and the rest of the crew. You just don't find true talent like that anymore...
Yes. Such an ensemble of musicians would be impossible now since most of them are gone. But the music will be here and outlive us.
I was at the Fillmore, it was life changing, period...
You got that right. Early '70 my brother took me to Coliseum to see this concert . Then saw them when the ballerina cam down suspended from rafters proned out. They lowered her. SOOO still it was an immaculate performance! Looking at Joe then the ballerina. Not knowing what was happening next. Coliseum again. Filled with smoke.

Mind bending alterations that opened us up. Transformed our minds. Opened our heads. A new period of life was well in swing! 🎉🎉
Got to see Leon a few weeks before he passed gave a great 3 hour show.
That's how I would sneak out and back into my house as a teenager. Someone told me "there's a song about this" and so I came to know Joe Cocker...RIP
Thankful that I was in 2nd row at Fillmore East for the Easter Sunday Mad Dogs show. Historical event. Outstanding band.
Joe Cocker - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window !! R.I.P.Joe.
another good one! Thank You :)
***** Your Welcome , Yes it is a great classic i love to hear him sing such a awesome voice he had .
Check hang out when you get offline Lol Good Night Sweet Dreams
(((((((((((Mike)))))))))))))
I been listening to Leon since sneaked Leon Live onto my older sister's turntable when I was 6 or 7. This the first time I seen him with a guitar.
So much talent on that stage.

This Band here Blew the Beatles away on this song here,, Cousin Figel
Incredible voice… good memories of my late teens. … fabulous days of music
..continued ..Leon not only used the venue's sound system, but his own as well. The club where I saw him several times had a big bowl of earplugs for those who wanted them! I wanted to hear every note and nuance.

Such wild and crazy but innocent times...the best "real" music ever!
Thanks for all the great music, Joe. You were one of a kind-- R.I.P.
Discovering Joe Cocker in 2014! Amazing, Amazing! That voice, vow!
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Lennon and McCartney wrote it for Joe Cocker but also recorded it themselves. RIP Bobby Keys.
McCartney wrote it.

Beautiful magic! This live version is one of my favorite songs!
Great memory! I took LSD and went to see the film at the Venice Fox on Lincoln Blvd
makes me think of all the pot parties I went to and Joe Cocker was always on the play list!
Still great in 2023. I love this. No one like hi!M
Saw him perform many times never disappoint you best ones I ever saw over at the Fillmore East
Nobody covered the Beatles like Cocker.
Joe knew how to breathe life into other peoples songs.
Thank you Lord for allowing me to see Mr. Cocker twice: 1974 and 2003. Small venues, sat about 30 feet away at the Cotillion in Wichita, KS. I still have his hat. It sits above my bar. God, the memories.
Joe cocker was awesome 🖤✌
This lineup is rock history
Joe et Léon : merveilleux DUO explosif et harmonieux ! Légends !
Got no words For this AMAIZING🎸🎹🎤💪🏽🤟🏽😎🇲🇽🎸🥁🥁🎷🎺🪘
Leon was the man! Saw him once in Chicago with the Shelter People. We snuck in into the venue and got lucky with some open seats. I believe Freddy King opened but it may have been Albert King. Around 1972 or so.
Most likely Freddie. He was signed to Leon's Shelter label at the time.

No problem. Check out Freddie's version of Don Nix's "Going Down" on the "Gettin' Ready" album with Leon on piano. It's a classic and might ring a few bells..!
I was fortunate to see Joe about a year before he passed. I had him autograph my copy of Mad dogs. What a performer even in his later years.
Oh this is so good.,.... On all levels... remember like it was yesterday...
Leon and joe cocker the maddog sessions
Palace Theater , Peoria , I l. on the big screen . Mad Dogs and Englishmen . Joe , Leon , and all the rest took us on a trip . What a beautiful Soul ! Long live Joe Cocker !!
Saw him in 1974 in South Bend, IN. One of my first concerts.
Rest in peace Joe Cocker, you were one of a kind…
joe great Always present in my memory thanks
What an awesome solo by Leon. Particularly since he looks as if he was stoned out of his gourd.
Leon ALWAYS looked like that. So many empty Coke cans on top of the piano...😂
Seems so odd, in my twilight years, to have such amazing musicians departed - Joe, Leon, and others on their crew.
Another connection with the beatles: The sax player is Jim Horn, and the guitars by Leon Russel. Both played with George Harrison, most notably the concert for Bangladesh
by far top 5 greatest solos of all time. and not even mentioned
man ohhh man I was very sorry to hear about Joe Cocker its sad he was great had a great sound and style 70yrs young well hes hopefuly singin for GOD now rest in peace . wish his famlly much love .
Love his voice and this song.
Such a loss, RIP The song was on She came through the bathroom window when I was jumping out. Love that history
Reminds me of my childhood. :-) :-)
On this day in 1969 {December 6th} "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" by Joe Cocker entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on February 1st, 1970 it peaked at #30 {for 2 weeks} and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100...

This is all Leon's Gig... Awesome!
Saw this show when the tour hit Iowa City in, I believe, that same year.
Glad im from Tulsa, this was our backdoor! Tulsa sound! Thanks Leon for my house.
*I Love This Song! That's It...Plain & Simple! FACT!
This flirts with musical perfection. What the hell, it IS perfection.
Dirty Delta Blues at it's best.... thanks Joe
A super group, if I've ever seen one..
Love your raspy voice Joe. You ain't pretty nor fancy, but you do sing from your heart and soul. I can feel you feeling the words you are singing and that's why I love you brother! Did anybody else tell you?
AWESOME - my two favorite LOVEs CReating Together !!!!!PRICELESS!!!!!
Leon the definition of cool
THEY DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE , SAD TO SAY.
What a groove such an artist 🎸🎸🎸
What a brilliant music video of Beatles classic, Joe Cocker and Leon Russell..mindblowing... Memories Loss of Legend RIP Joe Cocker.
I love the original of the Beatles , but Joe ............ Joe is something else !!!
Two greats playing the band of the 20th centurys song.
Joe Cocker, there is no one like him and great company Leon Russell!
