......dis is the big one Elizabeth I'm comin to see ya

[worldofoutlaws9]

I liked the Gary Wright song back when, but this song makes it seem like a lazy ballad. Heck, Wright's song is just to our right. Joe can do heavy rock.

[TheDavedt]

Puts Gray Wright's version to shame...

[coalburned100]

@TheDavedt  I'm a HUGE Gary Wright fan, so I won't say this puts his version to shame, but WOW. I just found this a couple of days ago and I have to say it's the best version of the song I've heard.

[TheDavedt]

@coalburned100 Man!! can't say I can disagree...love it

[umpchief14]

This tune was the highlight of the Night Calls disc from back in 1992. This disc was all cover material, and is very enjoyable. The cubist cover art is also terrific!

[Padres29]

One of the best songs ever written

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

3,000,000,000,000,000 stars.. come on.. give it up!

[pketels]

@TREYOLDHIPPIE If yr on the wavelength i think ur on w/ this msg, you've hit the mental jackpot! Join the club dude!

[worldofoutlaws9]

Is this song on any DVD. I'd buy it in a minute. Fantastic version.

[italianannamaria]

The Best of Joe Cocker Live. Concert was in Dortmund, Germany in 1992. Fabulous concert!!! He is amazing and still is.

[DougFM1962]

Damn, what a great cover! I had no idea that Joe did this song. It rocks!

[crasmane1]

It's a wonderful cover.

I've heard that love is alive in other songs and places, but when I hear that statement in this song, it always rings. true.

[worldofoutlaws9]

What a rocking song, don't think this ever got much air play or maybe it was never a single by Cocker

[giacomotomerock]

the very best musicians : chris stainton ,deric dyer and phil grande

[BBCater]

I completely appreciate Cocker's adaptation of this song, though it completely takes second fiddle to the original. One of the things that seems to glaring to cover efforts is the attention to the music, rather than just the vocals. The original version of this song - that intro - is just so powerful... and important! I put it up there with Boston's "Long Time" intro with the best ever. For me - my opinion as a musician - cutting that intro out is like cutting the preamble from the constitution.

[BobCubTAC]

Hehe, you do have a point there; the original's intro ruled!  But c'mon, you can't really hear that lilting, keyboard-laden intro being followed by that BAH-DAH-DAH riff, now can you? :)

[jimmypat2766]

joe cocker...the richest cover band frontman ever....

[xtremenortherner]

Old Joe is smokin' Joe once again,he really is an under-appreciated talent. I can tell he's holding back a little,if he really cut loose that voice of his would probably drown out the band!

[BobCubTAC]

JOE GOES METAL!!! Haha, I love it!!! Seriously, doesn't he just have the knack for knowing which songs to cover and then how to do them?? It's truly amazing. I never in a million years would have thought Joe Cocker would cover this song, and in this way. And...IT TOTALLY WORKS! And rocks. And rules. Can't say it's better than the original, as Gary Wright's timeless classic was also great and worked so well in its own way, but this is definitely AT LEAST as great!

[64treefarmer]

is that SRV on guitar?

[stel48tz]

nahhh....

[bunrwater1969]

@stel48tz It's Earl Slick... He used to play with David Bowie. His playing style is very similar to SRV. He does the solos for Lets Dance live (SRV did the studio playing)

[jeanmi19]

this fabulous guitarist is Phil Grande

his feeling, his playing and his sound are the best that I've could seen in my life of french musician ! ...

[vacuum12ax7]

I think Phil Grande.

[BobCubTAC]

Would have been kind of difficult, considering SRV died in 1990.

[gillanaro]

Stevie Ray Vaughan played with Joe on a tour in the first half of 1990 a little while before diying. The guitar player here is Phil Grande

[BobCubTAC]

Thanks for the info.

[rai83ders]

@64treefarmer his name is phil grande

[lasthopeomg]

@64treefarmer SRV died in 1990 and this one was recorded in 1992 =)

[bigusclickus]

I think not... I'm no expert, but I do think SRV always played a strat (no strat here), had stringy hair (poofy 80s hair here), and was perhaps a bit uglier than this guy (who ain't no beauty queen anyway). IMHO

[stel48tz]

I really don t know my friend !!

[AngusShanks]

Is that Simon Philips on drums?

[ItsGotToBeRock]

No its Dan Hickey....

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Who sings one ounce better, LIVE? !!

[AngusShanks]

Nobody

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Thank you, Angus.

[TopCat0055]

joe is timeless, always a great performer!

[rai83ders]

[ddauray]

One of his more rockin' tunes and better than the original
