Suffice to say the tour, which featured more than 20 musicians, was a runaway success. This twohour documentary features footage of Cocker – who died in 2014, aged 70 – performing covers of songs by the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and others, as well as his signature tune Delta Lady.
