I am 73 YO And remember Joe when I was in my teens and early 20's before I realized that life is not a yellow brick road without pot holes and detours, emotional pain and heart ache , and the numbness you can feel from being humiliated or embarrassed and the everyday twist and turns that lead you in the wrong direction by your own poor choices or poor decision's you make based on wrong information second from you immaturity. As I've grown older I'm able to see the mistakes of my ways and wonder in amazement how I got to where I am with no major problems ( at the present moment ). And be able to look forward to the rest of my life with my beautiful bride of 45 years. When I listen to the music that was popular then and still now it makes me feel a since of self worth. Joe Cocker was amazing musician and his music will live long after I'm gone. Music is able to touch all our hearts and souls regardless of race, nationally and political fews. Let's all put our personal differences and our views behind us and listen to the good music that bridges the generations with a" little help from our friends ".

I am a black guy brought up on Reggae Music But my mind has been opened Up to Excellent Music Like THis " With A Little Help From My Friends "

Glorious, just glorious! What times we had, what music we heard - my generation were blessed. Can I go back please ?

His raw emotion (thanks, acid), the band/backups are SOOO dialed in, his vocals are MAGICAL...this is the era of impeccable and beautiful music. I desperately wish we were still in a time where music was this DEEP!!!

The backup singers and band are totally the glue that keeps it wrapped in such a beautiful package!

I feel so honored to have grown up during these times. No matter how many times we fell down or lost our way, our music always helped us get back on track. If only my grandchildren could have such joy, unity, and sense of purpose.

This is beyond music.. this is holy communion with the universe. His Woodstock performance was still the best.

I'm 66yrs old, but when I hear Joe sing "With A Little Help From My Friends", I feel just as young as I did when he recorded it. The memories of that time flood back as if was just last week. As far as his movements go when he's performing a song, it's because he also plays the bass guitar. Too bad there isn't music out today that has the meaning, and actually tells a story as it did in the '60''s.

This gentleman has just displayed more passion in 9 minutes and 13 seconds than I've seen from All-Musicians-Combined over the last 9 or 13 years. I feel you Sir!

When we were kids we laughed at Joe’s antics and physical expressions while performing. Now that I’m older I fully understand that he felt it with every ounce of his soul and he was conducting while pouring it all out there for everyone.

This is beyond music.. this is holy communion with the universe.

Joe was dancing to music only he could hear, and we, his fans, could only grab onto his coattails and come along for a ride. Thank you, Joe, and RIP.

I'm 27, never used to watch the wonder years as a kid, just remember when it came on every night in the 90s and I'd just stay on the channel to hear this song. Always gravitated to it Heard this today in a commercial, which led me to the theme song, which led me to Joe. I've never in my life been so moved by a performance. I'm a fan of R&B and hip hop mostly, but this is something unbelievable. So much more than I expected. We're missing this in music today. What an absolute legend. A new fan.

This man sings from the depth of his soul. Been a fan from the beginning. Love the way he gives of himself to a song. I'm 81 and feel 25 when watching him perform. Thank God for youtube. I can see him anytime I want. RIP dear Joe.

That screech dude (starting at 4:24). its like he's gargling with broken glass but the power and the soul is undeniable. What a singular, once in a generation talent.

What a Voice what a Impact on my Life. I was a 13 Year old Girl in Germany and all my Friends thought I was Nuts listening to him. 63 now and still love him

Im 44 yrs, and this guy was before my time but I remember listening to this, Delta Lady and many many more in the early 80's in the summer, mum with her record on, windows open. Not sure how the neighbours felt, but felt good to us back then, and still does now. LLJC

Joe Cocker. Probably the most honest, no frills rocker of them all. Universally loved and missed.

What a performer. Such passion and emotion and completely engrossed in the performance. Honest, true to the art form. You can't teach this. You either have "IT" or you don't. His entire life, and the entire band's, to get to this level of performance level. Grateful to have seen this performance again.

One of the most astounding pieces of music and video I have ever come across.

Those were the best days and music. Glad I was alive and part of it. Now 74 and the memories sweeten the moment all over again.

That's a man who put his whole soul,body and heart into the song.

Best live performance of this era

❤Joe FELT HIS MUSIC with EVERY FIBER of his being....I LOVED the 60's & 70's YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE to get it❤

Rip Joe Cocker and Leon Russle and thanks for all the beautiful music . Good memory from u guys.

this is how I'm feeling about my fight against stage 4. most recent... 2 days ago they found a 4th tumor in my brain... this makes lung, liver, lymp and brain... I choose life, love and light. shine on my Brothers and Sisters...

I saw Joe Cocker in an intimate dinner theater in Salt Lake City, Utah. During this song he went behind the drums and threw up. I was 25 feet from him. It was the most memorable concert ever!

You can't beat Cocker he had a sound that would really touch your soul. Rest in peace Joe we sure do miss you but at least we have your songs. We will get by with a little help from our friends. We just lost another great musician, rest in peace Dr. John

I saw him live. I was up front. No one would be laughing if they saw him sing this song. He was magnificent!

Sitting in my lounge, tears streaming and I'm 69. Love this guy to death.

One of the greatest singers of all time. He not only sang it he felt it!!!!!!! The man had some pipes for sure. RIP Joe

Love Joe and jethrotull.....makes me Cocker happy...68 with tears in my eyes listening to the great man

this version is so pure and earthy: it is special. Just beautiful and powerful

Absolutely so many fantastic musicians here........with one of my forever, and all-time favorites....Mr. Leon Russell!

Cocker’s voice and dramatics, Leon Russel, the backup singers, Ringo’s lyrics, the wind instruments, the synth, all sublime… but the drums, oh the drums

Who could do a comparable performance today? And the answer is - no one. Brought tears to my eyes.

One of the top 2 shows I've ever seen was Joe Cocker. No fire and smoke or lights just him up there doing what he does best...sing.

The amount of soul in this song will echo through eternity.

Joe never forgotten, he put so much effort into every song...Amazing guy, truly missed!!

Why I got tears in my eyes when I listen to this song? I mean every damn time!

I love the way The Beatles sang this song but without a doubt, Joe Cocker made it a whole different song and it is amazing...

The PASSION, MUSIC, VOCALS, and POWER behind this!! Simply amazing.

One of the greatest songs ever.

Got to be one of the best songs ever - if you get yourself into the whole thing for 10 minutes - lets face it - currently most of us has 10 minutes to spare! This song takes you through many of the emotions felt by most of us dealing with Covid-19. From front line workers to those respecting the rules and being 'locked down', in the end even a short phone call from a friend can help. Stay strong everyone xx

One of the greatest songs ever

If anyone has ever been possessed by the spirit of music. It is this man right here.

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in 1990 and Stevie Ray Vaughn at the same venue approximately 3 months before Stevie died in a helicopter crash. Stevie opened the concert with a 1 hour show, then Joe performed for around an hour too. After Joe and the band left the stage, he and Stevie both came back out for an encore and performed together for an approximate additional 30 minutes. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.

Unreal. Simply stunning!

Joe’s performance of this song at Woodstock is stunning

I wish I could give this ten thousand up votes. The best of what I liked about old school rock. Bless Joe and all those people who made this happen.

Que manera de interpretar, disfrutar y vivir la música ..Por Dios tanto talento en aquellos años maravillosos

Made my hairs stand on end . hearing Joe cocker sing his songs with every bit of his soul. Gutted all the good ones have passed. If u hear this n not feel a thing ur dead in side

The young'uns of today have no idea what REAL music and talent is.

Love you Joe and always will be 💯 so appreciative of your awesome music and I still get the goosebumps as if it were the first time I've ever heard it or any of your amazing songs you didn't leave this world not being loved and appreciated especially for teaching us what true soul and the love of great songs that means so very much down to the core, there will never be another Joe Cocker and for that I'm grateful and sad at the same time... RIP Joe I love you 4-Ever #GoodMisicDontDie 🙏💔🎶🎼✌️🎤👌💯🙌🎸

My father was driving home and we got held up in Woodstock NY. I eventually bought the Woodstock album and album was blown away by Joe Cocker!!! We miss you!

Ooh Joe Cocker !! Your The Best , Just Love Your Voice ... Missing You And Always Playing Your Tapes !!!🙏🏽💞🎤🎼🎹🎷🌺💖Love You Joe Cocker !!! RIP 🙏🏽❣🌹

Well bugger me if that didn't hit me right in the soul. 9 minutes of bliss. Thanks Joe.

I remember discovering this as a 12 year old boy in 1986. I listened to it over and over on my walkman, couldn't get enough. My classmates having no clue wtf I was listening to. Joe Cocker is simply amazing, this doesn't age bad unlike the shit they listened to.

Seen mad Dogs And Englismen three times in a month when released in Perth Western Australia have watch it quite a few times since .Joe had a super voice his ballads were super ,over the years he recorded some very good songs also got a good liking for Leon Russell also a super star .

I saw Joe many many years ago at the Paramount Theater in Springfield Mass he kicked ass so bad everybody in the place where in tears one of the best concerts I am with you rock on Joe

The Beatles were proud of Joe Cocker. In the 60s, we all got by with a little help from our friends. I am class of 69, so I know this to be true. ... so get by with a little help from "Your friends"..., ooohhhh yea !

Thanx to the internet and electricity we'll have Joe and Leon for a long time.⏳⏳⏳💕💕💕

RIP to one of the BEST entetainer's to ever Grace the stage!!!

I get by with help from my close friends . that what makes life a little better than all this anguish great song to sit back with a jar of shine and my close friends reminiscing the younger easy days. Awesome song from a down to earth singer.

Ultimate version by Joe and Leon and this fabulous musicians. Raw, powerful and performed truely by heart. No artist touched me more than Joe and Janis. Thank God for listening to this outstanding artists.

So good it hurts - even after 50 years. Thank you @yosh95wilde for posting. I must've watched 90% of the Joe Cocker related posts on KZfaq and this is the closest to his epic Woodstock rendition of this iconic cover. 62 now and I still get the same twinge in the heart I felt as a12 year old watching Joe in Woodstock '69. If possible, even more moving now as one appreciates his massive body of work during his amazing (albeit too short) life. RIP but rock on Joe!

I'm 64 & saw him in concert at Grand Valley I believe! Tears running down my face at the memories this brought me.

I am glad to say I am old enough to remember most of the 60's music, there was so much talent around. If Joe Cocker only sang one song thank god he covered this one, he really gives his heart and soul singing it.

Can we just please give a shout out to Mr. Leon Russell! Great music great talent!

1970 Atlanta Motor Speedway. This song played last on last night of the Altanta Pop Music Festival.

Joe felt the music flowing through his body, creating a true example of purity of mind and soul to all who listen.

My husband was his monitor engineer once at a gig in London. He was fascinated by the way he moved (well, as well as his amazing artistry).

Damn! This song puts chills up my spine! thankyou Joe & Company!

Love the music brings back memories good ones thank you

Wish this song last forever ,keep on replaying.OMG.💎🌎✌🏽💎

I see all the comments here . I listen to His stuff all the time . But seeing him perform again , the intensity , the oneness with the music ...... I almost creamed my jeans watching this film . Thank you for posting music history .

I was having a terrible day but after watching Joe just spew straight love n soul from his spirit filled heart just makes me so happy 😀thanks again joe

Saw him in 2001 at the Greek Theatre as he opened for the GUESS WHO. a night for the memory banks indeed. wonderful performer !

Those backup singers are icing on the cake. Rest in peace Joe.

Gawd I’ve loved his voice since I was a very young kid. How could you not?...

A million times better than the crap they call music now. Just brilliant.

When a performance transcends time, age, politics, and gender. Simply a love for music, listen to Preacher Joe

This man was a legend that will never die . His music is straight from the soul unlike most of today's music . Wish the radio stations today would still play the old classics instead of the new wave

Que Dios reciba y ampare a este notable artista, que por medio de la música promovió la "paz y el amor" de una forma auténtica. Joe Cocker un grande, su legado musical permanecerá por siempre en nuestros corazones; ayer, ahora y en el futuro.

Perfect combination of gospel, soul and rock!

I cry for this Song....wooowwww...Joe Cocker MASTERPIECE

Joe thank you for your amazing music!

Extraordinary song, extraordinary performance, extraordinary times, never to be repeated.

Exceptional performance. Love the soulfulness.

I saw him in concert in 1973. His voice had extraordinary power that reverberated through your chest. He was so drunk at the beginning of the concert he could hardly stand, but they did an encore that went for two hours until they turned the power off. We the audience responded by ripping our seats from their brackets. Great concert - those were the days.

Absolutely genius!! I love!!! What a voice!!! 👏👏👏👏

This Joe cocker's version is more powerful than Beatles' version.

Amazing how Joe could add a certain type of soul to other artist's art - and it become his own completely different work of art - a rare ability indeed!

Im nearly in my 40s and i loved this song, i remember it from wonder years as a child

And to top it all, flanked by the gorgeous Master of Space and Time, did we know we had entered heaven those days ?

Rock & Roll and raw emotion....it doesn’t get any better. “Watch....listen....& feel”....you’ll be moved. Kudos to all on stage....and in the audience. 👌🏻

Wonderful Jesus. Great pain. Made me cry. With happiness and joy to see you alive. Ft Minor.

Crocker goes to another place when he performs, as here. And amazingly, he brings me along.

This is like some gospel blues, and the crowd's attending the sermon of electrifying live performances.

I wad standing at a red light, a car pulled up next to me playing loud rap, I played this this song to drown them out, before the light turned green they turned down their radio and listened to Joe with me and gave him a thumbs up!
