1970 Joe Cocker was exhausted. A planned tour was (also due organiatorischer problems) before the cancellation - the former companion of Cocker fell apart. As Leon Russell drummed in the shortest time a new band with top rock stars together - the tour could take place. The result was a gem of rock history with the flair of the Woodstock era. Here the rock is not played but lived - a single music noise from a musical community with several rock legends on board. The powerhouse Cocker was even more impressive than his anyway already excellent studio recordings on stage. Since Cocker initially shone more with furious cover versions of rock music highlights, there are reunions with numerous musical numbers exception of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, band, Traffic, Leonard Cohen to Dylan. The sound quality is by now obvious unavoidable "Loudness War" is not very clear, but rather something washed out - but acceptable.
In short: a unique rarity!
PS .: The now newly added 2.CD the Deluxe Edition is the quality of the songs as good as that of the previous edition and 1.CD lasts 80 minutes - so a real asset!
