  In 1988, when Joe Cocker performed live in Berlin, he was enjoying a resurgence in his career after the critical and commercial success of his 1986 album, "Cocker." This album marked his return to the music scene, featuring the hit single "You Can Leave Your Hat On," which remained a signature song and was further popularized by its use in the film "9½ Weeks." During the Berlin concert, Cocker showcased a mix of his classic hits and newer tracks, including "Civilized Man" and "Up Where We Belong," the latter of which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1983. This live performance highlighted Cocker’s powerful vocal style and dynamic stage presence, reaffirming his reputation as a captivating live artist. Interestingly, the late 1980s marked a period of renewed appreciation for Cocker's artistry, leading to collaborations with various artists and continued success in subsequent years.
