Joe Cocker

In this memorable live recording from June 2, 1979, Joe Cocker teamed up with Dave Mason at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA, delivering an electrifying performance of 'Feelin' Alright.' At this point in his career, Cocker had recently released the album 'Luxury You Can Afford' (1978), which included the hit 'You Are So Beautiful.' This period marked a dynamic resurgence for him after earlier struggles, as he was regaining his footing in the music scene with a string of successful collaborations and tours. Interestingly, the late '70s were a time when Cocker's gritty voice and soulful interpretations were beginning to evolve, making him a beloved figure in rock and blues. This performance exemplifies not just his raw talent but also the connection he had with the audience, underscoring why his live shows became truly unforgettable experiences.
