Great song, sure Joe Cocker may have made it famous but I think that it is a Dave Mason tune and Traffic did a great version. Grand Funk's was none too shabby either.
It was a hot property for cover back in the day. Counting Umph, I have compiled 27 different covers of the song. And I don't think I have 'em all. My three favorites in order of preference: Joe Cocker's (no disrespect to Dave and Stevie, I'm a fan off Traffic since day one, but on this song, leon's piano and the congas kicks the originals ass), Issac Hayes (live), Mongo Santamaria.
When He hollared “Joe” at about 3:30 a very fitting tribute to the man who made this song more famous than the famous guys who wrote this song) I hollared “Dave & Stevie” back at him. Also UM is a fitting cover band to take Joe’s place.
Dam My Nephew you got it.So does your daughter she likes Kieth Richard I think? Do we have to get her a blues harp? Seriously I was hurting and was playing with the phone which I am not very good at it. But she was definitely on about Kieth Richards.Geez I am an old punk!You got it all listed out!
Any drummers watching this? That fellow is hitting something metallic that appeals to me. I don't hear it in the Joe Cocker recording. Is he hitting the rim of the drum? What is it I'm hearing?
@@JohnSmith99562 cowbell-ish lol! That made me lol. I don't think we ever gonna get the correct answer unless we do the research ourselves. Oh well, take care my man.🤣✌
Poor Dave, Mason, and Traffic. I too once believed that Joe Cocker gave us this song. Not true. No question he gave us the most well-known version and definitely turned up the soul on the tune, but not his tune.
I love it!!
Hey Umphreaks, Sunday, 1/30/22 CLE is gonna be my first UM show!!!

the original belong to Dave Mason (Traffic) Joe Cocker did a very good cover of this song.
As well as Grand Funk Railroad!

@@dunno371 That's a cool version, especially with Mark Wahlberg running in slow motion.

Not to sound cliche, but is that cowbell I'm hearing? I just don't see anyone banging on.
Okay, I think there's a second drummer back there somewhere.
There's a drummer and a percussion player. The sound you're talking about is from the percussionist, not sure the proper name.
@@bluecollar825 Yeah, I think the percussionist is intermittently banging on something cowbell-ish.

Dave Mason would love this........gotta send it!
Mad Dog!!!
No Phones, everybody dancing. As a 90s kid, is this what the seventies were like?? :D haha
well three phones but.. no phones basically.
There are 20 somethings in that crowd and they're getting into a 1969 recording. There's hope for humanity after all.
what a good week this was.
A great Traffic cover
Soooo good
A nice tribute to Joe.
lol 3:08 "nailed it"
Looks like the crowd was really getting into it.

Wee feeling alright!!!
The black crowes version is way better. These guys are jokesters.
The Black Crowes singer ruins it in my view. I much prefer this version.
