Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Someone locked the door and turned the key

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself
Feeling alright
I don't have to feel alright
I'm feeling good myself
Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep trying

I've got to stop believing all your lies
Cause there's too much to do before I die

Chorus

Don't you get too lost in all I say
But at the time you know
I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it's today
Lord I can't escape, I guess I'm hHere to stay
Till someone comes along to take my place
With a different name and a different face

Chorus

Pretty much my favourite version of this...

mopping the floors with this tune- literally 😁 We saw Joe perform/ stumble  onstage at a joint in Cape Cod in 1980 - me with a fake ID - said we were with the band and got stage-side table to see the spastics and spit up close and personal - joyful 😄

There have been so so so many times that I think William and the RP staff are telepathic mind readers and they go and play my favorites from back in the day as if the tracks are chosen just for me but alas it's simply that we're birds of a feather is all. Hmm, ARE you RP guys telepathic? Thanks again RP!

All  respect for Joe Cocker but this version of the song sounds rather sucky. It sounds like Joe doing Las Vegas covers of himself. 

Joe has a great voice, and is also MO one of the only people that can cover a Beatle song better than the Beatles (with a little hep from his friends). 


The early version of this song is on the first album and it kicks ass. Also check the original version by Traffic.

The early version of this song is on the earlier album and it absolutely kicks ass. Also check the original version by Traffic. It has a note of melancholy that Joe's cover doesn't (read the lyrics).

Wow, what I assume is a party favour horn is really jumping out at me on this track this morning. Either that or the way my work speakers are positioned has really changed the sound of one of the saxamaphones dong the stab on "alright".

Bill 's dropping this track after Desmond Dekker's Israelites is just one more entry in the ridiculously long catalogue of brilliant RP segues.

What connects this rudeboy from Kingston to this working-class lad from Sheffield? Open your ears, friends, and Bill will make it all clear.

This is one of my favorite albums. Too young to get to the Fillmore for this concert I saw Cocker at MSG in '73 and it sure wasn't the same.

He had his moment though- hanging with Jim Gordon, Rita Coolidge, Bobby Keys, Don Preston, Carl Radle,  etc etc and, of course, Cocker. R.I.P. "Inforglative Algnert." (he mumbled a lot)

Maybe I am too accustomed to the studio recording... but this concert version feels like everyone's a bit tired, making their best effort but it's the end of the evening and they are anticipating going back to their trailers to collapse.  But as i say, only because the studio track is sooooo perfect and tight and cha cha cha.

I was lucky enough to catch this tour in Chapel Hill at Jubilee Weekend in 1970, one of my favorite concert memories out of thousands! Not the tightest sound but just incredible energy throughout the entire show. I had seen Joe with the Grease Band at the Fillmore earlier and he was always the consummate showman, RIP Mr. Cocker....

According to wikipedia, it's either Leon Russell on piano or Chris Stainton. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Dogs_%26_Englishmen_(album) 

I'd like to think it was Leon rocking the Ivories here. However, there's a documentary about this tour and concert. The footage of "Feelin' Alright" isn't from the Fillmore East concert where this song was apparently recorded, but it does show Chris Stainton playing piano, and Leon on guitar, for this song.

True that!  I was only a kid back in the day (early 80s) when my dad partied with Cocker in Carpinteria, CA.  And yes, late 70s/early 80s parties did include the Peruvian dancing dust.

And a few years before good old Joe left us, my wife and I got to see him live at a local casino, which I rate way up there with the smaller venue shows we've seen.  He had a great energy and was literally spitting it out like a blessed madman.  He was awesome!

My other favorite memory of this is because of the Huey Lewis character in Duets hustling fools with his pre-made karaoke disk.  I met a real life example of this character during my 7 year post-college partying stretch (because 7 years of in college partying wasn't enough) when I started going to smaller bars than bigger clubs.  Anyways, the guy's name was Rick and he absolutely LOVED this song.  He sang all the common covers, esp the Duets cover. He NEVER sang the original Traffic version though, and his reasoning was interesting.  Basically, he said that it was such a great song that he just got too damn excited while singing it to make it through perfectly.  And that's exactly how Cocker's version sounds to me.

This tune was used on an award winning AADAC commercial. It showed teenage kids partying their arses off, then hurling in toilets, over fenders, on each other. AADAC stands for 'Alberta Alcahol and Drug Abuse Commission". "not feelin' too good myself" fits really great on this one!

I like many rock "reinterpretations" - Bonnie Rait covering "Burning Down the House" or "It's All Over Now Baby Blue," Hendrix covering "All Along the Watchtower" or Johnny Winter covering "Highway 61 Revisited," the list goes on and on. But I agree that I've never heard Joe Cocker that didn't basically... uh... suck.

The drums and the piano are fab in this song. Unfortunately this was used in an ad for cat food or something, in the USA, sometime back. Ads should maybe go back to writing their own cheesy jingles instead of ruining contemporary music for people of any generation.
