Fire It Up Live follows a year after the release of the acclaimed album Fire It Up. It is the first official live recording in twenty years of Joe Cocker, who is now in his seventieth year when the DVD was released. It is not noticeable that the British blues singer has now well passed retirement age. Cocker still gives the maximum during his concerts. And that ensures that his voice sounds exactly
… like on his last album, which fills a large part of the set list. In addition to the recent work, major hits such as Feelin 'Alright, Up Where We Belong, Summer In The City and Cry Me A River are of course also popping up. The entire concert, which was recorded during the 2013 European tour in Cologne, is beautifully portrayed by Nick Wickham, who previously managed to beautifully shape concert recordings of Foo Fighters and Rihanna.
