Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1971 Concert Film)

The concert movie premiered on January 22, 1971, showing Joe Cocker at the peak of his powers. The live album from the famed tour of the same name had been released in August 1970, reaching No.2 in America and No.16 in the UK. Mad Dogs, directed by Pierre Adidge, is a two-hour showcase for Cocker as a frontman, and a chance to watch Leon Russell in full flow as Joe’s musical director for the 48-city tour. There are also prominent roles for other members of the band that we already knew, or came to, in their other work. Saxophone maestro Bobby Keys, especially admired for his long relationship with the Rolling Stones, is featured along with another of their collaborators, Jim Price. Cocker’s keyboard man Chris Stainton is on board, as are prolific sidemen such as Jim Keltner and Derek and the Dominos members Jim Gordon and Carl Radle. The tour, and the film, also did much to announce the vocal talents of Rita Coolidge, who featured on Russell and Bonnie Bramlett’s lovely “Superstar.” Vincent Canby’s review of the film in the New York Times in March 1971 described it as “a record of the tour featuring Cocker, the young extraordinarily talented, British blues singer, and the largely American entourage (band, choir, friends, wives, children, groupies and a single dog named Canina) that accompanied him. The entire group numbered almost 40 people, most of whom were on stage during most of the performances, making for what seems to have been extremely cheerful and friendly chaos.”” – Paul Sexton (https://www.udiscovermusic.com/storie...)
