    Lyrics :
    Give me a ticket for an airoplane
    I ain't got time to take no fast train
    The lonely days are gone
    I'll be right home
    My baby wrote me a letter
    I don't care how much money I've got to spend
    I won't find my way back home again
    The lonely days are gone
    I'll be right home
    My baby wrote me a letter
    She wrote me a letter
    Said she couldn't live with out me no more
    Listen to me mister don't you ever ravin'
    My baby once more
    Anyway
    Give me a ticket for an airoplane
    I ain't got time to take no fast train
    You know ,the lonely days are gone
    I'll be back home
    My baby wrote me a letter
    Piano Solo :
    Sax Solo :
    Guitar Solo :
    She wrote me a letter
    Said she couldn't live without me no more
    Listen to me mister don't you ever ravin'
    And my baby once more
    Anyway
    Give me a ticket for an airoplane
    I ain't got time to take no fast train
    The lonely days are gone
    I'll be back home
    My baby wrote me a letter...

    One thing Joe Cocker def never slacked on was having a solid, balls to the wall band behind him

    When I was little, like far from ten years old, our family used to drive places to see our relatives during the summer, wherever they were. We always had the radio on in the car, usually tuned to somekind of classic rock/pop station that played hits from the fifties onwards. Every time a Joe Cocker song was played, my dad tapped his hands on the wheel and sang with the song, or mimed the singing. When I asked him to stop because it would soon turn into ”embarassing dad”-moment in my eyes, he replied ”just wait ’till you get a bit older son, and you realise why your dad goes ’crazy’ when he listens to these tunes”
    Now me, a 24 year old, listens to Joe Cocker on full volume in my apartment, barely keeping my hands and legs still and almost shouting the lyrics as hard as Joe’s singing them...
    Guess I now understand what my dad was meaning in the car some twenty years ago

    I love Joe Cocker's music. Looks like Joe's got some mileage on him....rode hard, hung up wet. This is one of the great rock/blues records of all time.

    compliments on the recording - full frequency response, not bass-heavy like so many on youtube. I heard the organ, sax and guitar solos up front where they should be. 'Heard all the drums in the kit and the great ladies singing back up only "twenty feet from stardom." A recording worthy of a great performance.

      Rubén Cano Montesinos Guitar was the worst part,, the big note bend after the opening flurry of notes was out of time which put the next flurry of notes out of time,, only to end the solo with a 3rd flurry of notes,,, it was a garage band 101 guitar solo

    yes, this is music. and Mr. Cocker knows that a cowbell in the band adds a little extra, not that he needs any, because he has The Voice. and Mr. Stainton is there playing piano, which always improves a band. wonderful seeing these gentlemen perform. thanks for the upload.
