standing here

By the time this concert was recorded, Joe Cocker was coming to the end of a two and a half year period during which he was without a recording contract and in some cases back to playing clubs. However, during this period Joe also recorded "I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today" with The Crusaders and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Riding the wave of this newfound notoriety, Cocker embarked on a world tour and recorded this album in New York. This is the first full concert recording of this particular period and includes classics like "With A Little Help From My Friends", "You Are So Beautiful". "Hitchcock Railway", "The Letter" and a versions of Dave Mason's "Feelin Alright".
