Standing Here – Live in Colorado

Standing Here – Live in Colorado is a live album documenting Joe Cocker's performance in Denver, Colorado on May 2, 1981. By the time this concert was recorded, Joe Cocker was coming to the end of a two-and-a-half-year period during which he was without a recording contract, and in some cases, back to playing clubs. During that period, Cocker recorded "I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today" and "This Old World's Too Funky For Me" for the Crusaders' album Standing Tall. Will Jennings' lyrics led to a Grammy nomination for best inspirational performance. The Grammy wasn't to be, yet the performance with the Crusaders was a success. It received a standing ovation and broadcast on national (live) television across America. It triggered Cocker's comeback.
