not a huge joe cocker fan, but leon russell, rita coolidge, and claudia lennear are only part of this large touring ensemble. some fun bobby keys footage that i need extended scenes of. tour manager, smitty, and russell's bff, emily often steal the show even as they share the screen with stars.
worth a watch for the 70s aesthetics and clothes alone.

I just caught them on the farewell tour and I love that a bunch of old folks groove and go harder than a lot of young bands. Sent me back to their re-recordings which are on occasion better than the originals, like this one which is now the regular version for me cause it's so smooth

Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats⌠led zeppâŚ. pink floyd⌠uh⌠the beatles? idk who else to considerâŚ. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts⌠itâs more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! thatâs a cool wall made of bricks!
this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean!
like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning�
this has the velvet undergroundâs errrr s&m âsexinessâ but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. itâs Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.
