Joe Cocker Live Performance of High Time We Went in Berlin
In the vibrant haze of October 31, 1980, Joe Cocker lit up the Metropol in Berlin with his powerhouse performance of 'High Time We Went.' This live recording came just after the release of his 'I Can Stand a Little Rain' album in 1974 and before a series of significant releases in the early '80s. By this point in his career, Cocker had already solidified his reputation as a soulful powerhouse, thanks in large part to his unforgettable voice and passionate stage presence. Interestingly, Cocker’s collaboration with pianist Chris Stainton, who co-wrote this song, highlighted their dynamic musical synergy. This live performance not only echoes Cocker's ability to mesmerize an audience but also serves as a snapshot of a pivotal moment as he transitioned into a new wave of popularity, displaying the raw energy that defined his concerts.
