Produced by George Harrison & Phil Spector. When George left The Beatles, he had years worth of songwriting just waiting to be released. All Things Must Pass is 3 records of newfound freedom...no more second fiddle to John & Paul. Like all of his solo work, this is open and spiritually honest, and you can hear the joy in his singing and playing. He was never this good again, but on this album, he was simply great. The best of all of the solo albums by The Beatles...and that's saying a lot. A triple solo debut album that works...yep!

Joe Cocker has always been more of a cover artist than anything else, so he’s always at the mercy of those around him who select material for him. As a result, we’ve had to endure things like “Up Where We Belong” , and decades of bad to worse albums. But in the beginning, Cocker had people like Denny Cordell and Leon Russell on his side…and a huge sense of adventure that allowed him to take on the biggest of songs. On this live album, Cocker tackles The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Traffic, Bob Dylan and more, and it’s easy to see why he was such a hit at Woodstock.
Cocker has a lot to deal with here, however. The band is massive (three drummers and a full choir), which gives him a lot to have to pay attention to. His vocals don’t suffer, but the songs sometimes do. Having a terrified sounding Rita Coolidge sing Russell’s classic “Superstar” is a low point. But, as has always been the case with Cocker, the better the song, the better the performance. This is worth having…although if you’re a true fan you can get later and more expansive versions, including a six disc monstrosity of the entire two day run at the Filmore East.

Produced by Phil Spector. I wish this was a no holds barred, 5 disc box set with every scrap of fighting and song fragments recorded during these sessions. But I still love Let It Be. It's the sound of a band falling apart, and of Paul McCartney slowly alienating himself from his mates. And yet there is still enough in the tank for tracks like "I Me Mine", "Get Back", "I've Got A Feeling", and "Two Of Us". A curious and sad way to say goodbye to a once indestructible band.
