I concur. This is on the Organic album and it was where I first ever heard this song. Joe definitely put his own spin on it. They each have their own vibe.
Joe Crocker was an uninvited guest at my aunts wedding. He drank all the vermouth proposed a toast and sang happy birthday 3 times. He signed my copy of Hotel California!
He always OWNED any song he ever did!Interpretive geniuses like this artist don't come along very often,who can make you FEEL a song like you've never heard it before , even if youve already heard it a thousand times !
Aretha Franklin shared this gift she stepped in for Pavarotti . I always have loved Joe Cocker style and music, as well as Jim Morrison people who sing from their soul deep down in their soul, can truly sing anything.♥️
+Waterfrontlivin Bob This lifelong fan of Van's music disagrees. In interviews, Van likes almost nobody's music except for a handful of old-timers who influenced him. He's a pompous, narrow-minded, arrogant ass who is very territorial about his own music. Joe Cocker was a great singer and seemed like a really nice guy. In terms of the latter, he's got Van beat.
In the early 1990's I worked as an editor for a music magazine. The record companies would give me free tickets to all the concerts. I never saw a better concert in my life than the one Joe Cocker put on.
The great male voices of my lifetime - Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Van Morrison, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Harry Belafonte, Eric Burdon, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, each instantly recognizable, and each capable of stopping me dead in my tracks...to listen.
...you don't have to be a 54 y/o, white balding bulging graying dude who loves the original version and this one by Joe to accept life, make it better and to appreciate what it really is. A pure gift.
You know that Joe poured his soul into every song he sang! Some thought he had a problem. Far from the truth he felt every note! Such a tremendous talent! RIP Joe you were a once in a lifetime talent!!

This rendition of 'Into the Mystic ' by Joe Cocker and the musicians, sound engineers moved my soul to its very core.

I never thought of that. Just scrolling and did a double take. That is true. Not the greatest RnR voice, but Cocker sang with such a passion they he could span quite a variety of genres and make it work. I think he was a very humble performer.
Take me back to a time gone by, and then leave me alone to cry. We lived through the best that history has to offer. I wish I was leaving the same behind for those who follow. Thank You Joe. And thank you Andranik for posting this 14 years ago!
JC, make no mistake, you are also younger than the sun... You had a special story telling ability that took complex, didactical life lessons and delivered them to us in a way that allowed us to clearly understand them.. THANK YOU for sharing your gifts with us....
HE IS A MUSICAL ICON. HIS MUSIC WILL PLAY ON FOREVER .SADLY MISSED FOEVER LOVED . INTO THE MISTIC. IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS HE EVER SANG AND IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST REQUESTED . IT WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF MINE.
Joe said he always wanted to be a "bees winger" a singer and he made these songs his own he was born with that gift so said Ray Charles, how many of today's singers will be remembered for such a voice. Miss you Joe! RIP.
Joe had to be a successful musician and singer as he would scare most people to death if he turned up at their door as a plumber, Good old Joe Cocker wonderful singer.
its not only that Joe sing with lot of passion , but\and in top of that he never wear dark glasses like some others and let us make an eye contact to feel what he feels
Well done Joe Cocker: I remember you, young man- what a pleasure to see you again, and hear this beautiful, beautiful song I remember so well. Thank you.
great redemption of that song, he was great and died to soon.. I will always love his raspy voice and tremendous talent and his cross generation existence
By the magic of TH-cam I ended up here with the beautiful cover of “Into the Mystic” thank you. I love the guitar and of course the soulful sound on Joe Cocker.
Well said that's what TH-cam, magically provides now and again, I'm 64 big big fan of Joe, and van, 2 really unique talents that so many people really get hooked too
You know I remember Joe Cocker singing when I was having a bad day at work when I was growing up as a Young Man in the service and all I can remember is kicking back and let him take it from there r i p Joe
Honestly, i love this song and i have most likely heard 95 % of the covers on TH-cam. Joe just rules. Hard to equal Van on this one, but - almost, almost....
Thanksgiving 2020: without knowing Joe Cocker or his personal life.... I can relate to having the blues & @ times wanting to include a substance in my day. At times, the Mystic is a good place to be.....especially in this crazy ass stupid world! He's sweating cuz he's feeln this song just like me! Love ya Joe! RIP you legend. We can relate! South Louisiana
Joe needs too be in the Rock n Roll Fame! It’s a injustice to Rock Music, that he’s not.
I could not agree more.
I'm a lifelong Van Morrison fan. That is my favorite Van Morrison song, without a doubt. And Joe pounded it outta the park, Fantatic passion. Love it.
100% ✌️
I concur. This is on the Organic album and it was where I first ever heard this song. Joe definitely put his own spin on it. They each have their own vibe.
wish't there was a Joe/van duet of ENLIGHTENMENT, oh me/oh my...🕊
To me, he does it better than Morrison
Joe Crocker was an uninvited guest at my aunts wedding. He drank all the vermouth proposed a toast and sang happy birthday 3 times. He signed my copy of Hotel California!
Wow. Even better if it was Joe Cocker :)

Joe Cocker is basically just a karaoke performer with a great voice. Van Morrison is a true artist
Van Morrison would be very proud of Joes version. May you R.I.P. Joe...you were one of the greatest !!!
Waterfrontlivin Bob Allman Brothers do a fair version as well.
OLDSKOOL60813 so does Jason Isbell.. its so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sandra sword jason isbell is awesome

Def one of the most unique & passionate singers ever.
My young life..is back..Van & Joe..
The only other man to truly do this monumental song justice.
In the early 1990's I worked as an editor for a music magazine. The record companies would give me free tickets to all the concerts. I never saw a better concert in my life than the one Joe Cocker put on.
Joe Cocker always sang with his heart and soul, he meant every single word and movement, Joe is now resting in eternal peace in Heaven
The great male voices of my lifetime - Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Van Morrison, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Harry Belafonte, Eric Burdon, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, each instantly recognizable, and each capable of stopping me dead in my tracks...to listen.
Joe made this song his own. God bless you, Joe.

Amen 🙏🏽
I love Joe Cocker ❤
Amem
Greatest song ever
All these years later, I still get the chills. SO beautiful. Thank you, and RIP, Joe.
I saw him when Stuff was his band. Immense.
You know that Joe poured his soul into every song he sang! Some thought he had a problem. Far from the truth he felt every note! Such a tremendous talent! RIP Joe you were a once in a lifetime talent!!
This rendition of 'Into the Mystic ' by Joe Cocker and the musicians, sound engineers moved my soul to its very core.
There are few artists/vocalists that could sing literally anything and move you spiritually, Joe was one of them, a massive talent, R.I.P Joe

Dean Parks on acoustic guitar. A real treat and master of his craft.
No one can beat Van the Man, but this is a great version! Joe Cocker was such a magnificent singer - gone before his time!
th-cam.com/video/OOwBDlcasZ8/w-d-xo.html
He put his being into it
They don't make them like him anymore. He is sorely missed. Rip Joe! We will always love you.
RIP Joe Cocker. You’re a legend in your own right, still rocking souls. God bless you.
One of the hardest working people I ever had the pleasure of working with. Gave every show all he had.
Joe's voice and emotions are pure mystical magic.
Does anyone put more of themselves into a song??? What a talent!!!! R.I.P.
This is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard. Van should be proud of Joe's performance of his song.
That guitarist's solo is just perfection.
Dean Parks
I love when a song is covered and the originators intent isn’t lost. A great cover by Joe as usual!
Joe Cocker...another timeless recording artist....Thanks Joe for all you have contributed to the world of music.
Joe from his soul. Better than
YES
Even as an old, sweaty man, Joe Cocker was sooooo special. This is just beautiful! RIP, and thank you a thousand times over.
Joe, in his day, was the most orgasmic singer. He and Leon R.were unbelievable. I was in love with them both.
Whatever song Joe sang , he owned it. R.I.P. Joe Cocker ):
Take me back to a time gone by, and then leave me alone to cry. We lived through the best that history has to offer. I wish I was leaving the same behind for those who follow. Thank You Joe. And thank you Andranik for posting this 14 years ago!
My young life is back..Van & Joe..wow
Nice cover of one of my favorite Van Morrison songs. He captures the spirit of it very well. RIP Joe Cocker.
Cover or not no one can sing like him , unique style , great singer
He put his Soul into the music in his own special way that will be heard and felt for generations, thank you Joe .......
This is my Van Morrison soul song, but I must say this is a wonderful rendition.
The guy was truly a musical magician.
JC, make no mistake, you are also younger than the sun... You had a special story telling ability that took complex, didactical life lessons and delivered them to us in a way that allowed us to clearly understand them.. THANK YOU for sharing your gifts with us....
He do the best cover version all times of Van Morrisons song. ❤️
GOD made JOE COCKER then broke the mould. One of a kind truly unique a one off talent he is truly missed RIP JOE 💖💖💖
I don't know how he did it, but Joe would literally own any song that he sang.
I'll take the memory of J.C. live in Austin Texas in front of A reported 90K in attendance..He gave us an amazing show..circa 1975.
I love Joe's voice! I'm no expert but I don't know of any other singer that put more of thier physical embodiment into a song.
Songs channeled through Joe Cocker's heart came out like new creations - what a gift.
When Joe sweats like this you know the performance was perfect
RIP
All my respect to Joe's version. Brilliant voice and arregement for a brilliant song
Loved it. He done as good as van Morrison. Fantastic. Love songs that reach inside of you all the way to your soul.

Now my 2nd favorite version of this song......never new Joe covered it....what a great job!
I adored Joe Cocker...absolutely. Mad Dogs & Englishmen was 1 of the 1st 5 Albums I bought as a young woman.
Joe said he always wanted to be a "bees winger" a singer and he made these songs his own he was born with that gift so said Ray Charles, how many of today's singers will be remembered for such a voice. Miss you Joe! RIP.
Joe had to be a successful musician and singer as he would scare most people to death if he turned up at their door as a plumber, Good old Joe Cocker wonderful singer.

Well done Joe Cocker: I remember you, young man- what a pleasure to see you again, and hear this beautiful, beautiful song I remember so well. Thank you.
That's the thing about Joe. He elevated the song.
Joe Cocker's gigs are like the world series last game. he gives each and every one everything he has in him. You can tell he is drained at the end.
Just fucking amazing. I miss you Joe thankfully we can always listen.
And that foghorn blows ll will be coming home Joes nailed this song and hes made it his RlP
Joe was an extremely talented singer and could turn almost any writer's song into a hit! He's sorely missed.
You know you made it when Joe Cocker covers your song
cover ..cover ..cover
Van the Man was always great. From day 1
for fuck sake this song is by Van Morrison. maybe you've heard of him....
I miss Joe, he made the world a better place just being there.
Brilliant gitar accoustic play ... Joe Cocker absolutely so soulfull
Man wat goed, nooit zo geïnteresseerd geweest in Joe Cocker, maar wat is het 'n fenomeen !
Whoever he is, that acoustic guitarist is SUPREME. Thank you man, that was some sweet pickin'.
Err says in the notes? Dean Parks
Dean also was the (unseen) guitar genius behind the sweet sound of the group Steely Dan
great redemption of that song, he was great and died to soon.. I will always love his raspy voice and tremendous talent and his cross generation existence
Looking for Van Morrison and this hidden gem popped up...
Wowed again by lovey Joe Cocker...💜💜💜
wow, didnt think anyone except Van Morrison could do it.. great job Joe Cocker..RIP
Wow, Joe!! I Adore Van Morrison’s Version Of His Own Lovely Creation.. But, Good Lord ~ YOU Sir, Were TRULY Something Special!!
Joe always added something special to what ever “cover” he did. Reproduced as his own
One of the greatest musicians of all time. Joe is true to form every time. This man has true soul. Rock on Joe......
Van must be thrilled to bits with this. Imagine writing a song and then having Joe Cocker sing it! Beautiful.
This man always gave me thrills of pleasure! God, I hated to hear of his loss. Rock on, Joe!
He always gives it his all.. 🎙
Joe is amazing but so is this band. Jim Keltner does some magic in this tune.
no one better than joe
By the magic of TH-cam I ended up here with the beautiful cover of “Into the Mystic” thank you. I love the guitar and of course the soulful sound on Joe Cocker.
