He stands alone and nothing beats this. I had a ticket for Sept of 74 in Michigan, he was so drunk he could barely stand. He tried 2 songs and they made him go off stage. I thought I might die, he was my absolute favorite. Saw him in 2011 and he didn't miss a beat. Pure class
l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
To think all of us Joe Cocker fans know he was holding back here , he was being a professional and letting others have their go , can you imagine what he would have done had he cut loose. LAWDY, LAWDY.
Could Leon Russell look any more stoned out of his mind? God, but this must have been one hell of a party! You'll never see something this big, this epic, with this powerhouse sound ever again. It's a damn shame!
This was filmed at a bar in NYC after one of their shows. Can you imagine sitting in a bar and in walks in Joe Cocker, Leon Russell and half the band still all wound up from the show and ready to let loose? It must have been a helluva good time.
Yes! Would have been crazy. I did see the first show they did in Detroit. There will never be this kind of thing again Thankful I grew up in the best era of music ever.
@TheKailua62 No kidding! ;) J.C.'s arguably one of the best "blue-eyed soul" singers of all time, along with early Stevie Winwood, Rod Stewart & Boz Scaggs;Van (The Man) Morrison, Dr. John, and a few more (IMO).

@KAZTRONIC great vid kat, ive been getting back into this early stuff since hearing susan tedeschi and derek trucks do a version of space captain at crossroads in 2010 it was brilliant, and it reminds me of how good music used to be. I see a very young chris stanton here too, hes played a lot with clapton over the years, still does. Just some useless info there lol
There's a theme lived with me throughout these times. Whether it was Mad Dogs, Bangla Desh, Homewood Studios. Whatever. I always thought Don Preston was fantastic, but it was like he was always censored. And surely, Bangla Desh was almost predictable. I often wondered how he felt.
