Joe Cocker was the first officially scheduled act on Sunday. He went on stage at about 2.00 pm. Though Cocker was in the music business for quite a while he was hardly known. But after his triumphal success at Woodstock the man with the soulful voice became famous everywhere. Especially well received was the Beatles’ cover song “With a Little Help from My Friends” which was already the second performance after Richie Havens’ version on the first day. Cocker’s backing band at that time was the superb Grease Band - a formation that lasted only two years. Shortly after Cocker’s gig a heavy thunderstorm washed over the festival and everything was brought to stop for several hours.
