If you want one Joe Cocker cd, this is it! I grew up with Joe Cocker's music but never had any of his albums. It was only until I grew up and looked back at some artists I should have given some more time to. That, and I happened to listen to the live version of "Hitchcock Railway" on some local radio station, and I felt I was listening to one of the best Live albums ever made. There is so much energy and crispness to this performance and sound. Every song you know, you will sing to, you will dance to, and you will feel the raw energy that Joe Cocker puts in every one of his performances.

"I have had this album for most of the 90's. It follows the format of Joe's concerts for most of this decade. Highlights are Unchain my Heart, The Letter (far better than the studio version)and High Time we Went. Joe is in fine form on this night and the band is peerlessly tight. I have played this more in my car than any tape in recent years. My small children ask for the sound to be turned up!"

This cd needs much stars,of course!!!

"Fantastic,magnificent,this is one of the best "Live"performances one musician ever released.This phenomenal stage presence of Joe Cocker,with one of the most passioned voice i've ever heard in my life is enriched with this gig band,and with the presence of The Memphis Horns,perfectly background vocals,the double Levine/Stainton on keyboards,transformed that audience in a privilege!!All the entire cd is excited,full of great energy.That kind of energy we only could find when great musicians get on the stage!!!This is a must have cd for those that love good music,with rare intenses heart feelings,registered on that magical iluminated night at Memorial Auditorium,Lowell Massachussets!Great,Great,Great!!!!!!"
