Joe Cocker is one of rock and roll's enduring performers who survived the 60s, experienced a low period in the 70s, made a comeback in the 80s, and is tackling the new millenium with a flourish. This 1981 performance in Italy finds Cocker's raspy vocal style going strong, with his band exuding great talent. Cocker's unique voice delivers a diverse collection of rock classics, including "Whiter Shade of Pale," "The Letter," and "Feelin' Alright," while mixing up the evening with a laid back reggae groove on "The Jealous Kind," and the straight ahead blues number, "Watching the River Flow." Even with his grating, throaty voice, Cocker finds the perfect amount of delicacy when singing the ballads "Just Like Always" and "You are So Beautiful." Closing with a seven-minute rendition of the Beatles-penned "With a Little Help from My Friends" proved to be the perfect touch.
