OMG.
I've always loved Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends," I guess since the Wonder Years.
His singing seemed to harken back to a time I never saw, but I'd always wished I had experienced, at least for a day.
On the other hand, looking at it now, it seems that the main "fun" about that time is that people were just completely fucked up. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I suppose...

And I always thought Cocker was just singing the same words Ringo Starr sang. Well, now, thanks to this video, we can see his interpretation is more revolutionary than previously thought. Cool!

It was amazing that Cocker continued to sing despite the fact that he was in the middle of an epileptic fit. Now that's a commitment to one's craft.
That was pretty awesome.
