Description
After Jefferson Airplane's maniac morning performance at 8.00 am Joe Cocker was the first officially scheduled act on Sunday. He went on stage at about 2.00 pm on Sunday, August 17th 1969.
Cocker's backing band at that time was the superb Grease Band. Cocker and the Grease band had just completed a U.S. tour supporting their first album and had returned home for some rest when the entire lot of them were brought back to the States to play at Woodstock and made rock history with a cover of a Beatles tune – the Woodstock set closer "With a Little Help from My Friends". The 11-song show* included six cuts from the debut album, two from his then upcoming album (including a dynamite cover of Bob Dylan's "Dear Landlord" that opened the gig), a stellar reading of Ashford & Simpson's "I Don't Need No Doctor," and "Something to Say," an original that didn't appear officially on one of his own albums until 1973. From that opening Dylan cut throughout his 62-minute outing, Cocker never really let up in energy or graciousness toward the crowd. The ballads, such as "Do I Still Figure in Your Life," are delivered with soul and as much fire as harder-driving rhythm & blues-inflected numbers such as "Feelin' Alright" and "Hitchcock Railway." The summation of the show is that utterly in-the-red performance of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends," well-known to fans of Cocker and the Woodstock musical and cinematic offerings. Shortly after Cocker's gig a heavy thunderstorm washed over the festival and everything was brought to stop for several hours.
