A classic album !

You will find to Joe Cocker in the peak of his powers . With that unmistakeable and grasping voice , and incredible energy loaded in every track.

Leon Russell- that living legend - support in the keyboards, the rhytmic section and the chords were absolutely outstanding .

Consider the Letter , Feeling alright , She came in through ... , Delta Lady or Cry me a river and listen them again in studio version . Once more you will notice that the great majority of the rock artists adcquired an additional histamine and powerful resource inspiring to perform and Joe got to me his masterpiece album .

Search the extraordinary and unbeatable version of Rita Coolidge singing Superstar.This performance is by far, much better than the Carpenters version , it inner mood is so much introspective , warm and deep.

An album without any hole . A timeless classic specially recommended for Cocker hard fans and for all those people who are reall interested in knowing what is going on in the two golden rock and roll ages : the sixties and the seventies .

A classic live album

This has to be one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded. When I was 12, I think I saw the movie 3 or 4 times, and played the two-record set until it was grooveless.



Cocker uses Leon Russell's masterful production abilities to put together a phenomenal, exciting road group, complete with solo recording artists Claudia Linnear, Rita Coolidge, and of course Russell himself.



The choice of songs is excellent. I'm not sure there was ever a better remake of "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" (if there was another one at all!), nor did anyone bring such soul and energy to songs like "The Letter" and "Honky Tonk Woman".

Russell's piano is exhilarating, and Cocker's voice on "Bird on a Wire", among others, is quintessentail soul. He IS the drunk in the midnight choir in the song.



Now, the question is..WHERE is the VHS of the tour movie I saw in the theater? I must have it!!

Joe Cocker And Leon Russell Create A Hot Roadshow

Joe Cocker teams up with Tulsa native Leon Russell and a cast of over forty for a concert tour, and what a party! The live set contains a mix of Russell compositions and blues/R&B/pop/rock standards, all performed with the feral intensity of a man possessed. It's clear that the magic couldn't last in this form, and it didn't, although Cocker did go on to make many fine records, and even some great ones, after his jaunt with Russell.
