- 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. The album, a two-CD set, has also been released as Standing Here – Live in Denver and simply Live In America. It includes several live versions of Cocker's classics as well as a pair of tracks which also appeared on Cocker’s 1981 LP release Live in New York—- "I Don't Want To Live Without Your Love" (which appeared on Live in New York as “So Blue”) and "Sweet Forgiveness"— neither of which appear on any other Cocker albums other than these two. Additionally, included here are a few live versions of songs from Luxury You Can Afford, at the time his latest album (1978), such as "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale". The live concert also included five tracks that would appear in studio versions on Cocker’s 1982 Sheffield Steel album the following year— “Shocked”, “Sweet Little Woman”, “Just Like Always”, the Bob Dylan song “Seven Days”, and “Look What You’ve Done”, the last of which also appeared on 1981’s Live in New York.
