You ask what I love from my era - No autotune, pure love of the music by the artist, people played instruments, and emptied their souls into their artform.
I was only 12 years old at the time of Woodstock. But promptly bought the album and was never the same again. Cocker and Hendrix were the stand out performances in a field of the greatest performers of that time! Great to see that the music holds up and is appreciated by all the generations since.
An absolutely iconic performance. The ladies who were supposed to sing back up ( I can't remember what they were called) were delayed and couldn't make it on time so the band did the best imitation of the backing vocals they could.
I did not know that fact for over 50 years and I did wonder why that Guy was accompanying him because more than one reactor to this , as assumed it was a Woman singing so thanks for that facr. I am 67 years old in London. Do you know any other musical facts that I should know, but don't ? ....
@@Isleofskye I’m your age, been into music since the Beatles invaded the colonies, seen most of the big bands…. But I’m always learning something new….I always enjoy seeing Gen z and millennials appreciate the music we grew up with.
The human windmill. You really should listen to the original version this Beatles song from the Sergeant Pepper album to see how Joe took a cheery little ditty and turned it into a soul/rock anthem of mega proportions. appreciate
@@Jon1950 Great advice. However, I've been listening to Sgt. Pepper since my aunt brought home to my grandparents house in June of '67. At three yaers old, I was a die hard Beatles fan from that day forward.
Joe Cocker was a British Blues/Soul singer and was one of the most talented artists of my generation. I'm now 65 yrs old. Back in my late teens and 20s, we had not only the best music, but there was so much of it, you could hardly keep up with it
I was 16 years old when Woodstock happened. It was a time of the peace revolution and all songs had lyrics that were deep and very meaningful. Joe Cocker was no exception but he wsd extremely passionate and unique. I absolutely loved growing up in that Era. I am 68 now and nothing today can compare with that Era in t he music depattment.
I missed #Woodstock by just a few short years .. but there is not a singer today that could hold a candle to our generations singers lyrically and/or performance wise .. Call me a zealot. Call me bias. Call me late for dinner .. but that is the honest to God's truth imo.
I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He 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 "You Are So Beautiful", "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Jennifer Warnes), "Delta Lady", "Feelin' Alright", "Cry Me A River", "The Letter" etc.
Classic awesome performance from Joe Cocker at Woodstock. 1969 was such a great year!! Man walked on the moon and my miracle Mets won the World Series (I was at game 4).
What do I miss? in 1969 I was 17. What I loved about that era, and don't see anymore was the musical virtuosity in vocals, instrumentation, style and talent. It was a blend of r & b, soul, rock, jazz, blues, you name it. It was the free love era, the protest era, and the FM Radio era. The albums themselves were pieces of art, info, and creativity.
This is the the original Woodstock Music Festival, August 1969. It is a Beatles Tune but was interpreted differently here. He was singing to over 3000,000 young people!! They were mesmerized. This festival was released as a documentary the next year. there are countless iconic performances in that movie. you see the split screen filming technique used, sometimes 3 frames at once. There was a big rainstorm coming as that crowd sat there watching.
Joe would hire so many people to tour with him that he was known to sleep on peoples couches when he returned home because he was broke. Finally an American woman who actually loved him, took charge and cared for him. They bought a home in Northern Arizona were they lived for the rest of their lives. In the later years he was asked to sing before the Queen who had deep respect for. She said that she loved all of those high notes he sang. Well he had not hit those notes for some time but he was not about to let the Queen down. During that concert he hit ever single high note and maybe put on his greatest show. He died in Arizona, finally loved and respected, a great singer, performer and damn decent person!
You can come back and hang out with us back in the late 60s and into the 70's. I'm sure you'd like his "You Can Leave Your Hat On". A whole 'nother side of Joe Cocker.
i miss the rawness of the music ... it was so good .. was only 13 yr old kid ..when he sang this song at Woodstock ... thank you for this Schnell .. good reaction .
This is the closest thing to a possession in real life. His body is just taken over by the power of the music and amplifies it. No surprise that The Beatles (or at least some of them) agreed that this was his song after this performance.
Drugs, sex, rock-n-roll, bell bottom jeans, tie-dye t-shirts, and the freedom to express yourself were celebrated in those days. Be your own person. Do your own thing. Go your own way. I think the spirit of those days listening to this music in art class back in the 6o's and 7o's was part of the creative flow we all connected to. We would take our records to a friend's house, turn on the black light, look at the posters on the wall and zone out to whatever music we had. Always willing and looked forward to new music. Shanell you are right to want to be a part of that period. But as for Joe Cocker. You must listen to his live version of YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. It will bring you to tears. And then, YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON from the film 9 1/2 weeks. Finally, the power and grit of Joe Cocker at full blast on the Ray Charles classic, UNCHAIN MY HEART. I think YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL should be you next cover. I can't wait to hear it.
Joe ALWAYS Left It ALL On The Stage,, He Felt The Music With Every Ounce Of His Being.. Thanks For All You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten..R.I.P. Joe 🙏 ❤
I grew up in the 1970s as a teenager and in my early twenties. I saw many concerts and Joe Cocker was one of them. He was the same as you see in this video from Woodstock. There were several concerts every month in those days, Led Zepplin, The Who, Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, Rod Stewart, and many more and I saw them all. It was a wonderful time to grow up and concerts were only five dollars. You cant park your car now for five dollars. lol I might be old now but I saw all the good bands. Peace & Love.
He used to put on awesome concerts! Saw him many times live! This is Woodstock 1969! The 1970's was the absolute best decade for live concerts, for any genre of music!
I'll be 76 next month. I saw Joe Cocker 6 times over the years. MY favorite concert of all time was the Mad Dogs And Englishmen tour in the early 70's with Leon Russell and 30 of the best studio musicians of the time.
I love seeing the reactions to music from my youth (late '60s - early '70s). Means I can stop feeling guilty about being totally ignorant of popular music from mid '80s to the present. So many reactors claim to be unfamiliar with stuff which I thought everyone has heard.
I was alive back then. It was a complete nightmare being the kids of those folks in the crowd, but we were completely free in a way that younger people have no experience with. You did what you wanted and no one could stop you. You could hang around the red light district of Boston at night smoking cigarettes when you were 10 and no one would say a word. Joe epitomizes total freedom here. There's none left and you can't buy more.
‘69 Woodstock, 500,000 (1/2 Million) people there. I was 22 yrs. old, living in the S.F. Bay Area. Watching and Listening to Janis Joplin, Santana, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane (White Rabbit), Doobie Brothers, Tower of Power, Sly and the Family Stone, Country Joe and the Fish. All these bands are from the Bay Area. Every weekend there was a “Be In” (small festival) and all these local bands would show up. It was a great time to be alive!…. SanJoséBob
Nice, was very lucky to see Joe 3 times and his voice gave me chills! Joe covering a Beatles song is as good as it gets. Try Cry Me a River, You Are So Beautiful and Take Your Hat Off. Joe was one of a kind and worth exploring. Enjoy there pretty lady! 🎶
I'm from the generation that got to experience the 60s and the 70s first hand. It definitely had a great vibe and everyone was pretty much on the same page socially and all the great music us which I'm not sure happens today. This was one of the songs that we'd play at parties or just listened to to chill. I did get to see Joe perform at a college concert during his Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. I'm probably biased but the diversity of the music, the lyrics and the level of musicianship are unsurpassed.
Ah yes, those days! I’m 67 now, and that music still resonates with me. I DO miss the furious explosion of creative musical energy that was not only allowed, but encouraged by the music biz in those days. Artists could freely express themselves in any direction, and actually sang, and played their instruments with talent and passion. It was a fun time, at times! But…I do NOT miss the Vietnam war, political assassinations, violence against peaceful protests, civil rights angst (still happening), Watergate, etc Very nice reaction, you get the power of this performance!
met Joe back in 88 he having breakfast being interviewed by a some body, and was bored shitless I asked him to sign Mad Dogs and Englishmen he took one look at the album, he remembered those days, signed it and asked me to stay for breakfast. I declined. still regret it to this day. the album is framed and sits in my office. comments a plenty from visitors. thanks for the great shows you put on.
At 15 l hitch hiked to SF ( San Francisco) and saw my first concert.. The Doors, at the Avalon Ballroom. Iol I think it was 1967. Many... many concerts followed. Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Jessie Colan Young, The Young Bloods, Bo Didley, The Doors I saw 3 times, CSNY, Donavan, Greatful Dead, Led Zeppelin the night they opened, Captain Beefheart, County Joe, The Tubes, these are the ones I remember I don't doubt there are more. Oh, yeah, The Golly Wogs... That was what Credence Clearwater Revival called themselves before hitting it big. With a little help from my friends we had a High School band... and from them came my friend Guido Colla lol aka, Johnny Colla who's Dad war Major of Suisun. Had many a dinner with Guido Sr. and his Squeeze Rosie... riding John home from school on my handle bars. (See Huey Lewis and the News) Oh, Son of Champlin. Like I said many more. Lots of great local talent that never made the grade. John has recordings of us and he says we were actually pretty damned good. I keep waiting for the CD.
As someone who graduated high school in 1969, I can confirm that it truly did seem like a special time to us. We felt that we were a new kind of generation - a new kind of Human species. Much of the music bore that feeling out. It wasn't quite as free, easy, and wild as the reputation of that time has it, but it was pretty cool. And then... everybody grew up. And are now in our 60s, 70s, 80s. And the leaders my generation has produced around the world, for the most part, have left a lot to be desired. But I guess I do miss those times somewhat. And how NEW so much of the music felt. Mostly, I kind of miss being young again. But I wouldn't want to go back and do it all again. Once is enough.
Wood stock upper NY state . A music fest that shut down NY state through way. Thousands of people. Something that will never happen again. Great music.
The rare time that a cover is so much better than the original. It’s usually that a rock band takes a blues song and turns it into a hit. This was the opposite. Bringing a song back to the blues
Sweet reaction. You would have enjoyed the 60's into 70's. You have a loveliness about you that would have fit right in. Those times were not perfect but there were a lot of perfect moments, and Joe Cocker at Woodstock is one of them.
Oh babe! I went to sooo many concerts, Van Halen, Journey, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc, etc!!! Hundreds of concerts!!! Wish you could go with me!!
The 1960s was extraordinary. The whole culture of music and fashion just seemed to come from nowhere. I was blessed to grow up in London at that time. It was extraordinary.
LIVE in a farmer's field in upstate New York! Southwest of the town of Woodstock. 3 Days of Peace & Music with 400,000+ fans. Will NEVER be matched or re-created. Music pivoted from this moment in time.
One of my all time favorites (!!!!!)...a gritty voice and soulful. I believe that he had a disease and didn't have full control over his body, but boy could he sing. He's British and sang a lot of the Beatle songs. Glad you found him and gave him a cover so newer generations would know about him. THANKS !!
This was the theme song for a TV series, "Boy Next Door". In this performance the female back up singers were held up and did not make it there so male band members filled in their part.
Joe had stated that he had to push the music from his body which he certainly did demonstrate during his performances. Great reaction Schnell, as always .
I miss everything about the 60's and 70's. We weren't afraid to live life, we did not know about left wing and right wing. We were one. We had our favorite bands/musicians and could not wait for their new album or single to come out. It was a fantastic time and by the way the weather then was the same as the weather is now, no different. All I can say is, I feel sorry for you younger people of today to have to deal with so much evil and lies of today.
You would probably been one of those hippies sleeping in Yancer's farm between songs and staying through the whole thing of Woodstock. The memories would fill your dreams to this day.
