Good live Cocker

Well, in short...good sound, good vocal performances from Joe Cocker, several good songs (and a few really forgettable ones as well). All good, but not great, unfortunately.

The arrangements seem a little over-blown at times, robbing the music of its R&B-grit, but that is a minor complaint.
"Joe Cocker Live" is a good live album. It just doesn't feel all that necessary, mainly because these extremely conservative live renditions of songs like "Shelter Me", "Unchain My Heart" and "When The Night Comes" are barely distinguishable from the originals, adding nothing whatsoever to the studio cuts.

A little more recklessness would have been nice.

The best live sound I've ever heard

Back when I was in the Bar business ,I had this CD put on our juke box . Anybody who loves "live" music will enjoy the unbelievable live concert sound captured and re-mixed by the producers of this release.

Wild Bill

This cd needs much stars,of course!!!

Fantastic,magnificent,this is one of the best "Live"performances one musician ever released.This phenomenal stage presence of Joe Cocker,with one of the most passioned voice i've ever heard in my life is enriched with this gig band,and with the presence of The Memphis Horns,perfectly background vocals,the double Levine/Stainton on keyboards,transformed that audience in a privilege!!All the entire cd is excited,full of great energy.That kind of energy we only could find when great musicians get on the stage!!!This is a must have cd for those that love good music,with rare intenses heart feelings,registered on that magical iluminated night at Memorial Auditorium,Lowell Massachussets!Great,Great,Great!!!!!!
