A classic example of a cover version proving superior to the original :

Joe Cocker was first act on the Sunday afternoon at Woodstock, and performed for an hour and a half, delivering this song as his encore.

Within minutes of him finishing a thunderstorm drenched everyone and everything, delaying the show for about 3 hours.

Very sad saw him a few times in the early years. The first time in 1968 at The Concord with about 250 people there. It was the week "With a Little Help from my Friends" broke into the top 20 and he was very excited about it...the following week it made number 1. The Grease Band were a great stomping band too...perfect foil for his style in the early days. RIP Joe. :(
