Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends (Woodstock)

[SonHouse245]

If Zeppelin would've played Woodstock then it would have been perfect

[lunatik75vnr]

Comment un petit blanc grassouillet peut il avoir autant de puissance vocal ? ! x)

[RyoMasterSan]

quel incroyable performance, 

[lmarca21]

Since those days nobody has sung at the same way. Amazing Joe

[Merdatout]

beurk !

[Merdatout]

Le ridicule ne tue pas , heureusement !

[mayddyw]

@Merdatout ça dépend de c'qu'on appelle "ridicule"

Et pour toi heuresement que la surdité ne tue pas psk tu s'rai plus là aujourd"hui.

[seanfan69]

The guitarist on the left was the only Irishman to play at Woodstock, Henry McCullough, still rockin.

[RicoElTerrible]

geat fucking song!!

[GauloisesUndHorst]

sabi, joola, ich liebe euch!

[lte032]

Quel talent ! Quel beau vidéo et quel beau souvenir. Merci !  pour ce vidéo.

[KoalaBella17]

He sounds good.... but looking at him, he is so wasted.

[cinnaporn]

Those are some badass boots.

[usergroupX]

@cinnaporn those were some badass years

[vinicin4k]

best performace

[JKJK109]

LOL at the high pitched guitarist!

awesome song!

[fullthrottlemf]

Cocker invented the air guitar! I saw it here!lol

[zeppelinrain07]

legendary

[lo06d]

he looks off his face, maybe cocaine? extasy!

[wcibbt]

wrong generation. acid baby!

[838544]

is janis joplin singin back up

[GoodMorninGirl]

That's a MAN! LMAO!

[toneale768]

doida essa musica me lembra o seriado "anos incriveis " e noixxxxxxxx

[jennekefeelsfine]

Well, who wasn't wasted at Woodstock?

[Nichtbesondres]

Em, I don't know about you guys but isnt Joe like totally wasted in this video?

[Jasonagf]

hes wasted in every video, check out the "you are so beautiful" video hahaha

[JJKING28]

Fuerza y telento en estado puro. Lumonoso y fugaz. Esta voz, como es natural, no pudo durar demasiado.

[wannabewentz8]

you can blame 99 on limp bizkit

im a big fan of their music but they fucked up woodstock 99

[MusiuPL]

this song is awsome thats no question about it

ps. look of joe at 2:21 is pricless :) he reminds me somehow a Rocky Balboa :)

[Jasonagf]

haha, 2:21 is totally a stallone face.

[lemmywinks0600]

Jimmy Page wrote the guitar pieces for this song, there is a big picture of him on the back of the album cover along with a few of the other musicians involved. Page played on over 60% of all records being produced in Britain from the mid to late 60's as a session guitarist. Zeppelin turned down woodstock because Peter Grant thought it would not be a good move, which you cant blame him for, because by 1970 Zeppelin became the biggest band in the world. '"the first band to topple the beatles"

[montybeatlesfan]

I loooooooooooooooove this song!!!

It's so emotional!!

A real good track!!

[NaNdOsAx]

A pesar de ser un tema de sus majestades los Beatles, escrita por Ringo Starr, un gran bateria, que muchos pensáron erroneamente que era el menos dotado musicalmente; la version de Joe coker es infinitamente mejor, tiene pasión, tiene alma propia!!!

[juanchoathos]

Hmmm pues Ringo era el menos talentoso sin duda alguna. Y esta canción fue escrita por Lennon/McCartney para que la cantara Ringo.

[NaNdOsAx]

No voy a discutir sonre la autoria de la canción que cuanto menos es una produccion conjunta ( ya que en la biografía de lennon atribuye a ringo la idea original). La gente no ha sabido valorar lo gran bateria que es Ringo, que mediaticamente es inferior pero que musicalmente esta en el nivel de los otros tres. Lennon y McCartney supieron venderse su imagen y su alborotada vida, relegando a Harrison Y ringo a un segundo plano, cuando tambien son autores de grandes canciones.

[esmilodonte]

las botas son una locura..... buena cocker

[razorman916]

which one is neil young?

[bisquickDrummer]

Sometimes i think how unlucky i am. I'm 16 and love santana, jimi, the beatles, you name it. But they were gone and/or way past their prime before i was even born.

[monzaman86]

i am 22 and i was into the same shit at your age and still am. its timeless. i am just lucky to have family members and friends that were there when it happened.

[petitefunny]

MYTHIQUE !! (L)

[esantos1973]

the best...

[BRIANCOTNOIR]

one of the members of his band looks like an extra from planet of the apes

[lev147]

My mum and dad (both in their sixties) remember watching Joe in local pubs in our area. Joe is from Sheffield and used to visit Chesterfield regularly, he played mainly at Barrow Hill but also appeared at the Williamthorpe Hotel ( which is no more ) and the Holmewood Miners Welfare which is in the village i live in. They said then he was amazing and destined for stardom. Its just great to see a working class lad made good.

Rock on Cocker !

[taylorbanegas]

GOD i wish i could go back and witness Woodstock myself...so much

[salynredoran]

me too, but I'd rather see Monterey Pop in '67

[deejaygps]

So much energy, so much passion, it brings tears to my eyes to see this.

[Gizbo1328]

oh man, then you would cry a river if you watched The Notebook...

[deejaygps]

Haha, I think I saw that on an airplane (in coach), so I was crying for other reasons.. besides, you know how much better films seem when you're on a plane than they actually are (the captive audience effect).

[necromancer209]

wow...wish I was there.

[tigerkidtre]

Joe's voice is so soulful

Oh...and those boots are just unstoppable.

[raysalsa1]

maybe angus young from acdc saw this and was inspired. look at joe go.

[LMCantista]

lol. I agree

[raysalsa1]

now that i think about it angus looks like a poser compared to joe. This performance is so raw and passionate. No fancy lights shining, theatrics or cannons going off here. this isnt staged or choregraphed like alot crap today seems to be. Every year music seems to be losing its soul. One of best performances ive ever seen here.

[rami1985]

angus a poser, turn it up. He was just eletric and into everything he did. A complete nutter on stage. This seems more passionate because the lyrics are more meaningful, ACDC were hard rock.

[nategwinn]

Love Joe Cocker....Love this version....but man..is he f-ed up at Woodstock!!! *LMAO*!!!

;)

[poefanatic]

Absolutely the most demented, classic and unbelieveably fantastic rock performance ever. XXX

[Hornado666]

Hammer!!

[Juanartista]

They give all what they have in Woodstok, that is why will never be repeated, the Who, Jimmi,Santana Country fish and joe ,Joe cocker Ten years after johny winter etc.

[googfly1]

<3333 lovee itt

[Dcoops5250]

we all get by with a little help from our friends! You sing it Joe!

[bagger52]

WOODSTOCK!!! I was THERE!!! and my head hasn't been the same since!!!!...lol

I'm 65 yrs old, retired and enjoying life!!

Those were the best yrs of all!

Thx Joe!!

[truindep]

i was born at the wrong time in history...went to '94 and '99 but it was mostly rubbish...we go up for reunion shows with old hippies and folk singers every year and have a blast though...very jealous of you, mate!

[realguitarshredder]

@bagger52 u lucky old man.. lol.. u are a part of history

[SonHouse245]

?@bagger52 I guess you got stoned,right?

[Gruntol5]

Most "originals" are hard to beat, because they have the "owners stamp" on them - in this case the Beatles. But Joe did it. One of those few examples where it was "overstamped" with something better - JOE COCKER'S VERSION.

If you haven't got "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" get it!

[luigiycarlitos]

Just wonderful, thanks a lot friends ...........

[psycho4thall]

the grease band, superb performace, and joe got spirit to do it , rock roll oldies !!! the soul of rock! who was there , enjoyed,nowdays the only way to enjoy is watch the videos !!!

[ferno2]

this video is EPIC

[miaangel345]

Wow, all these years I never knew who sang this song but I loved it, great song!

[vandeldandel]

400 thousand people, and he's singing to the BACK ROW :)

[YewLogs026]

joe. lol. hes so high. great song none the less

[johnGcapone]

What a voice, what a song.

So powerful. thank you, my friends.

[spunky23466]

Excel! The best version remains Mad Dogs And Englishmen

[sykiraa]

good performance :D

[joshshoj13]

better than ringo's crappy original version! this guy is legend!

[WIllMoney1451]

oo and Ringo isnt?

[joshshoj13]

ringo isnt even close to being a legend... without paul, john and george, he'd still be eating out of a garbage can! ahahahaha! now joe here, he IS a legend!

[special420player]

you have no clue on what you are talking about dude ringo is a very talented drummer and song writter

[MattHatter]

Also very true. Ringo wasn't a bad drummer by any means. He just wasn't flashy or showy. His claim to being a great drummer was that he was rock solid. On the beat, on time, every time!

[joshshoj13]

you would think that would you? i dont blame you...youre so obsessed with the beatles you just love every song they make no matter how crappy...try to appreciate real art next time you old timer.

[special420player]

old timer i was not even born when the beatles were around or for that matter until lennon was killed i learned about the beatles cause they are the greatest band to ever exist they transended music.

[raysalsa1]

I think the doors transcended everyone even the beatles. poetic theater never seen before. maybe beatles wrote more songs but musically you cant put doors into a genre. they didnt even use a bass player. Heck, morrison was so far ahead of his time no one to this day has ever matched him. evryone on stage is a poser next to him.

[HonkyCat90]

Well, actually they used a bass player. For example Carol Kaye played bass on their first album. They didn't have a bass player as a member of the band, maybe that was what you were saying, but a lot of bands have done that. Jim Morrison was a hell of a singer and especially on stage, but I think he's no match for Cocker.

[PlatinumJestar]

[Lennon when Asked by a reporter if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world]: In the world? He`s not even the best drummer in The Beatles!

[special420player]

that may have been true but with all due respect ringo has a good amount of talent to tottaly discount him and say he has no talent is just wrong

[zzaneli]

joe cocker perfect music

[mscott121279]

If only every artist were as passionate about their work...

[youusermyname]

fuck me...what a performance....makes me for once feel good about sheffield...cheers joe x

[googfly1]

amazing<33

[94lukepl]

lol joe crocker.

[miffofwd]

this simply makes me cry and makes me remember my infance, the time i was happy on my life and everything was ok god bless you dude for this video thanks alot and god bless you joe cocker thanks for exist in my life

[jamir25]

dats ma man right there

[MjasonD70]

This probably summed up the whole three days, it is the only cover that the beattles felt was better than there own version

[willisthecoolest]

Joe Cocker is beast!

[haraldtheman]

fantastic performance

[miguelbm86]

Esto es cantar con sentimiento!!

[Ooftyman]

"Wonder Years" theme!!! Haha.

[bluesjammer1128]

I would have loved to be at Woodstock it looks amazing! This song is amazing and so are all the artists that performed at Woodstock

[erict825]

joe you rock my world.. tu mereces la gloria

[mimikarma3]

joe crocker rocks what a performer!

[esgo140688]

que buena rola de joe, con esta rola recuerdo mi niñes cuando la pasaban en la serie de los años maravillosos esta cansion es na chingoneria, lo unico que no entienedo es por que joe cadaves que canta parese que le da un ataque de epilepcia por favor alguien espliqueme

[papasand]

sheffield boy, God bless

[Bluesbuntu]

What's the name of the guitarist? And he's the same of "Have a little faith on me"?

[AristidisAlexis]

We knew then that the ship was sinking, an era was coming to an end, and there was nothing we could do to stop it...but...don't you know....we were part of it even for a short time, and we felt free.....

[lupepita1973]

Por que un dia crei en la amistad entre los dos Vito , esta sera un lindo recuerdo , aunque me odies con todo tu ser . gracias por los momentos vividos . marce.

[zapper91]

i wish people wouldnt cagtegorize my generation as a bunch of stupid kids, i was raised on this music and i will die with it

[mosesmohanmanning]

i think we can all agree on the fact that what went on in the 60s and early 70s was special. it will never happen again. but the sheer amount of prolific music being made is just mind boggleing. just the amount of talent that was born during that generation was amazing.

[MattHatter]

So true. Just try to tell that to all these kids auditioning for "American Idol!" "So what song are you gonna sing?" "OH WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW, WHO I AM INSIDE!" Gag me with a rusted pitchfork. These kids who go on shows like that, looking to be a part of that crap, are still the majority and they're L-O-S-T! What we see HERE, overcomes THAT by a long, long, long shot. Cocker rules, Woodstock rules, the '60s rules!

[03maja03]

Joe Cocker from 1969. And he´s still alive! The singing is sooo amazing.

[swissalps4]

ruleoforder: I don't even know what you are talking about in your comment so since I don't, I'm going to consider it as offensive. Simple music? Read between the lines, brother. YOU are the simple minded one.

[ruleoforder]

Simple music for simple minded people.

LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANT SHEEP...

[frenchsk8]

could you argue please?

i can't let a fucking idiot saying shit about that masterpiece.

[morgothcrazyer]

That son of a bitch writes it everywhere:) So what.....  Make peace not war, you freak:)

[belfmad]

beatles' version is too twee or something for me, but this is CLASS! brings back so many memories of my childhood both cus of 'the wonder years' and cus my dad also used 2 listen 2 joe all the time, so this version def has a special place in my heart:)

[wwwgotristancom]

your out of your goddamn mind pal haha class nice word haha

[Colonelblood]

Even though I'm just 15 years old, I love this music much more than what's beeing made now:P

[murdoc111111]

Even though your body is 15 'seems like your soul is much older , I never thought 'could find a post like this, definetly not from a 15yr old's, man I really agree wit you, this kind of music just ain't no more...

[Colonelblood]

yes, it's almost a shame.

[bricovi]

Pô podia colocar sem dublagem.

[turnem1951]

Was 17 at the time,couldn't catch a ride out there. I remember getting stoned and going to the movie of Woodstock, wow. I hope they bring it back out for the forty year reunion. I'd like to see it again What a blast from the past it would be!

[koiven]

I don't think they should. The last two woodstock incarnation sucked ass. Half of the original performers are dead or the bands are retired or broken up or whatever. The music industry would turn it into a major cash-in and most of the performers wouldn't be of the same caliber as the original artists. Instead of Jimi Hendrix we'd have Oasis. Woodstock was a very special event, and I doubt any other event has captured the spirits of a revolutionary time so well, or ever will.

[PlugginTV]

there is a probably gonna take a woodstock place in august 09' , there gonna deticate to the 69 woodstock, same date, alot of the old artists, and the motto " 3 days of peace and music " will be lived again, we can make this another good one people ;), but there never will be an woodstock, like the 69 woodstock ever again :(;)

[benbrams]

Is it true ? woaw ! I want to go there...

[filerocktheworld]

The piano thing... isn't it the same as The doors used?

[yvish]

piano thing???? lol its just an organ. and about a million artists use it.

[filerocktheworld]

Allright, i just heard it was a special one... But what do i know?

[DirtyDeck]

Who in the fuck let that guitarist near a microphone?!

[madgroupieyipiyayei]

certainly i want now exactly waht he taoke to be so and probe this mix

lol

[madgroupieyipiyayei]

a lttle desyncronization please fix it

its so good to see badly :)

[ceselguapo]

Woodstock forever¡¡

[Wisher182]

I'm a kid and me and my friends are kind of like hippies. I would've love to attended Woodstock, who wouldn't?

[ptobcracker]

you should go to all good or another reputable modern music festival.

[gogogadgetspoon]

I'm just about old enough to remember begging to have it on durin dinner when I was a kid... I loved that show:)

And what an incredible tune!

[Saaabri]

the video has a delay

[balltuss2]

Great song far better then Beatles' original. I've seen Joe Cocker live and he is fabulous.

[geoff20072000]

i saw Joe Cocker perform this song last year at an open air concert and his voice is stronger and better than ever before.. body language remains the same..

[Iamthewalrus17]

So fuckin amazing!

I wish I could have been there.

[oMgboI86]

I thought it was a black who use to sing this its a great song.

[djbeastie]

che voce! he's got such a powerfull voice, it almoust sounds like a black man's voice

[fmita]

If there was a movie about John Belushi ... Joe Cocker would be a shoe-in for the part ... ;-)

[thelittlegirlblue]

perfect

[wizardblackwhite]

quanti bei ricordi...grande interpretazione!

[TheCandleBurns]

i love this song...too bad this vid was out of sync...xD i LOVE his air guitar! joe cocker's version is so great, but its not a matter of which one-beatles or this one-was better, this is a COMPLETELY different style and mood to the song than the beatles' version (which i love). both of them are great, in a different way.

[mcasarin]

It is

[thegandalf666]

is the sound and picture not in sync for any body els?

[killionaire6969]

this is GREAT!!!

BUT, the beatles version was GREATER!!!!!!!

THEY ARE LEGENDS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST and, THE ORIGINAL ROCKBAND!!!

NOONE WILL EVER COME CLOSE!!!

[thegandalf666]

led zeppelin is better

[Kalfastehpro]

You seem to have a very deep and profound opinion of music, very open to different types of bands and such.

[DeadMuntser13]

Sure The Beatles were great, but I hate that everyone puts all the other GREAT 60s singers/bands down.

Like what about Bob Dylan, Donovan, The Mamas and The Papas, Janis Joplin.

The Beatles did many many many covers of other great bands songs. Bob Dylan wrote and help to write many of their songs, so did Donovan.

And please, don't get me wrong, I love The Beatles, they just aren't better than all the other great 60s bands.

[facti85]

AWESOME MAN !

[fuuuuuuuckme]

awesome...

[dougdoug53]

putin ce mec déchire !!!!!! j'adore !!!!!!

[doctorzhivago2009]

This is pure performance and release of emotion *onstage* at it's best. truly remarkable and a treasure.

Anyway youtube "Blue Siberia" for a kaleidoscope photographed with a high resolution camera. Cool if you like the 60s.

[autograph1984]

This song rocks!!!

[WickedClownz69]

EPIC !

[nickyshade]

why is the music not in time to him singing

[kapnzach]

out of sync problems from uploading

[boys5l]

Energy..great!

[WALNUTS52]

Been out of sync since the first posting..

[tartaglione]

[supershifu]

thats called relay XD

[p00p2600]

i thought he was black when i saw his weenah a few years ago

[TheManyShadesOfJo]

Love this version, Joe gives it everything he got for this one. Incidentally, I thought he was black til I first saw this vid a few years ago..

[drumsonly]

Haha the backing singers are funny as. The original is better but this is good

[carlos6villa]

severa cancion

[p00p2600]

i'm so glad that joe cocker wrote this beautiful song for us to all enjoy

[kioubeziro]

well, actually he didn't, but he poured some much soul in it that he deserves writing credits.

[HeyHoLetsGoGuitar]

no ... lennon/mccartney deserve the credit ... simply since they wrote it ... ????

[rowdyrob06]

AMAZING live performance!!

[BEARBODY96]

god whatever happened to wonder years?.....

[Enright9591]

Sadly, they no longer air it on television. It's a shame because it was such an amazing show. You can buy it on DVD though.

[JawsJaws]

He puts everything into this song. Awesome.

[fdpell]

AWESOME EMOTION HERE
