It's with a heavy heart that I make this post in tribute to Joe Cocker who lost his battle with lung cancer December 22, 2014 at the age of 70. Joe Cocker's music is very important to Rosebud and I. I sang "You Are So Beautiful" to her the night I proposed. If you have been around The New JDP since the beginning you might remember from an earlier post that I proposed to Rosebud at a Black Sabbath/Pantera show. Well I was a little more romantic once we got home from that concert. I turned on a karaoke tape of "You Are So Beautiful", sang the song and went down on one knee.

A nice acoustic performance from the master of song interpretation. I got to see Joe Cocker a few times. The most memorable for me was when I saw Joe Cocker & Stevie Ray Vaughan at Pine Knob together. Stevie opened up the show and played his normal set. Joe Cocker followed and played a stellar headlining set. For the encore prayers were answered and Stevie Ray Vaughan came out and jammed with Joe Cocker and his band. I am so glad that I actually was able to see those awe inspiring sets. Rest in peace Joe, Rock & Roll Never Forgets!

Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter met and married in 1969. Jessi had a career in Nashville as a songwriter under the name of  Miriam Eddy. After marrying Waylon she changed her name to Jessi Colter and signed to RCA Records as a solo artist. Waylon & Jessi had one son Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings. Waylon took time off the road in 1997 to be with his family, and earn a GED diploma to set an example for his son about the importance of education. Shooter ended up a musician any way. We lost Waylon Jennings on February 13, 2002. Waylon died in his sleep from complications from his diabetes, he was 64.

Metallica on the ill fated tour to promote Master Of Puppets, their third studio release. I got to see Metallica on this tour supporting Ozzy Osbourne at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. There is a bootleg DVD of this gig floating around, part of which is included on Cliff'em All, Metallica's first home video release. The sound check and set up was taking long and the doors were opened a little late. The crowd outside started chanting "Let's Go Damn It!" and pushed the barricades into the street blocking traffic. The doors were opened and as I entered the main floor area I noticed the chairs were not even set up. The crew was still setting up the barricade in front of the stage, as well. The crowd started chanting for Metallica and soon the group was on. A mosh pit stated which surprised the Joe Louis Arena security who had Metallica stop the show. The front barricade was moved back another 3 feet and the concert started again. When Ozzy came on after Metallica the barricade was moved back another 3 feet by security. You have to remember Metallica was one of the first Thrash/Speed Metal bands to play such an arena, most of their piers were still playing clubs. The security for Joe Louis Arena had no idea what to expect, such shows are common place now. Metallica along with Anthrax and Slayer lead the underground, extreme at the time Metal bands out of the underground to the commercial masses. We lost Cliff Burton on September 27, 1986 in Dörarp, Sweden when the bands tour bus lost control and flipped multiple times. While James, Kirk, and Lars sustained only minor injuries, Cliff Burton was killed when the bus landed on top of him, he was 24.
