Yep, and I was there at The Warehouse in New Orleans when the MD&E tour made their 2nd World Tour stop in 1970,.... thank the lord for You Tube today,... cuz much of today's noise is rarely like the great music of 53 years ago.
My mom took me to see the Mad Dogs and Englishmen movie, I was 10 y.o. at the time. Made a big impression. She also took me to see Gimme Shelter - double bill with Blow Up. And we went to see Jefferson Airplane because Janis died and couldn't make the concert. She also bought me my first Jimi Hendrix cassette.
Bobby Keys is an absolute STAR! What I really love about this performance is when Leon comes back in with that unbelievable left hand in perfect time and we watch as a surprised Joe Cocker goes from an "Oh man, what's he doing?" to the second that the spirit of the music takes over his soul; it's palpable and irresistible, and here we are 50 years in the future and we can actually FEEL it too. Unreal.
Great description of the moment. I saw the tour at a Phoenix in-the-round theater. Also saw Joe a couple more times and Leon several times over the years. Those were the days, my friend, authentic as hell.
@@ksullivan728 Those were the golden days when every party you'd go to, not only did the doors get passed around but so did the guitars-it seemed like everybody could play back then. Nowadays the younger kids all are watching their cell phones when we were all studying our fretboards and listening to the greats play guitars, basses, drums and keyboards as well as great singers, songwriters, and frontmen of both sexes play with the spirit that these kids-all in their early 20's displayed in this video. It was the renaissance period of rock n roll. Those of us old enough to have lived through it were blessed to have been there. If you have the time and feel like hearing another old schooler, like yourself play some of the songs we love here's my site th-cam.com/play/PLFuBDaRqTdLK1Jef0a7x6avd4IJ1i3FM9.html
There is a fabulous documentary on Bobby keys called Everynight is a Saturday Night (,I think that is close, you can google it,) deep dive into his history. Fun fact...he shares a birthday with Keith richards
One of the most frenetic, frenzied, powerful, soulful, energetic amazing performers ever!! There will never be anyone who could come close to Joe Cocker's epic legendary performances! You are very missed Joe, thankfully there are recordings of your jaw dropping performances!!
My senior year of college ... This was (and still is) one of the GREATEST R'n R' albums of all time! Great music and great memories! LEON RUSSELL! WOO HOO!
I recently bought the cd of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, what an amazing album, Joe sings with 2 things which are sorely lacking in the soul less crap that is called music today, he sings with HEART AND SOUL! Good on you Joe!
I don't even have words. Such an incredible loss. I met him and his wife at an after party with the Cars in 77. A genuinely kind and gracious man and a lovely woman. My condolences to those who he left behind. My heart is weeping
+aussie gold People today would just focus on his unusual body-language and take videos with their phones and make fun of him. It's too much about appearance these days. Joe Cocker had more talent and soul in his facial hair alone, than most of todays 'artists' combined.
Reading his biography now. It w as just released e d a few months ago....written at the urging of Elton John. FINALLY! A real, thorough bio of this amazing contribution to the music world!
Most don't realize the effect he had on our music growing up. He is a National Treasure. Got to see him in small venue in Davenport , IA a couple years before passed. One of the best shows I ever saw.
Cocker pretty much was the breakthrough star at Woodstock most everyone else was firmly established. A year later this tour. The Horn section became the Rolling Stones horn section, Half the band were the Dominos from Derek and the Dominos, Carl Radle, Bass the drummer Gordon anyways Bonnie and Delaney, Rita Coolidge, Leon Russell... what energy! I was there woohoo New Paltz College 1970 Summer free show out on the fields when Cocker and the Mad Dogs & Englishmen played.
I’m so grateful I got to see Mad Dogs and Englishmen, a week before my 15th birthday at the Swing Auditorium, had to be there to there to believe it, that stage had about 60 people up there & dogs & balloons & the sound was perfect 👍
Bobby Keys was the best saxophone player in rock and roll, period. Apparently he was also a great partying wingman (Keith Richards) as well. RIP Bobby.
I was 8 yrs old when I heard this and it shaped music for me for the rest of my life (so far). I can only listen to music performed with passion. And it's a glorious thing.
Oh God that was transcendent! Loved seeing footage of the late, great Bobby Keys next to Mr. Cocker. What a powerful, performance. Joe Cocker, you are so beautiful to me. RIP. Somewhere in the ether, there's one hell of a jam session going on...
Why does this bring a tear to my eye? Could it be because I could have...and should have...been to this concert in NYC, and didn't go? Tempus Fugit.....:(
Saw the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour in Hartford, CT (Bushnell Auditorium) late sixties. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Leon was amazing. My ears were ringing for days.
Thank you Joe Cocker for so many years of great music all they way back to my childhood. Your music always took me back to my yesterdays and will continue to do so. May you forever Rest In Peace! They don't make music like the musicians during this ear of time.
On the Mt. Rushmore of albums. The top 5 of them all. Joe's singing and Leon Russell's arrangements make this the best. Wore out my vinyl twice. Just a great album from start to finish.
First album I ever owned as a kid was Mad Dogs and Englishmen...got it for Christmas and thought I was 'on top of the world'. One of a kind master of his art.
I fell the extrenge facination of here again Joe cocker I have like 3 weeks in a row straight hearin Joe I started hearing Him since I was 12 years old I going to complete 62 this year the letter , delta lady ,feeling alrifht, with Leon Rusel and mad doge that was really good music.and the lirics were clean no ofensive words.
Il ruggito impetuoso di joe cocher rimarrà sempre nella nostra memoria storica degli anni di piombo quando il rock era un senso di ribellione sociale e anticonformista e trasgressione ricordando il 68 ed anche il mitico raduno ippi di woodstok fu un evento straordinario per quanto riguardo' un movimento musicale giovanile per l ,epoca quanti ricordi legati a quel evento che fu per noi giovani di quel epoca straordinaria grande joe cocher riposa in pace ❤😂😢😢😅😊❤
Leon produced a few songs on Cocker's album and gave him Delta Lady to record. Joe was tired after touring and stayed with Leon, in CA. Joe didn't want to tour, he was forced to and Leon, fortunately, was there to help. I got to see this band and it was awesome. Words can't describe how great it was.
I didn't know this was filmed. I had this album back when it was new and listened to this song approximately 326,000 times. Now it sometimes plays in my head on its own. Great to be able to see it! thanks for posting this. Great times and great memories.
tenparab Yes! You can see him looking at Leon over there...Leon was the "leader"...you can here him start up on the piano, and Joe had to start back up.
It's funny; he has that look for just a second before the music starts flowing through him again and he gets that possessed look in his eye. Luckily he didn't live in medieval times or he would've been burned at the stake for being a heretic during those "dancing mania" days...
Joseph Halpern I think he was pissed that he had to start up again but if he didn't he would have looked foolish , whatever, that song certainly rocked !!
Im sure their diet kept going!!!!!!! The best rock and roll film of its time? pretty close. Great sound. great camera shots. beautiful ladys a many. Songs that keep on giving.
Playing Joe and listening to all his songs. Played a lot of these in my days as a drummer in the late 60's.What a great musician so sad to lose him. Just been listening to Mad Dogs in last couple of days not expecting his passing. RIP Joe
Joe has left us some wonderful music. I'm sorry he's left us, but thank you Joe. I can't hear to this song without thinking of Leon Russell's version when the chorus sings: "gonna walk, gonna talk, gonna scream and shout it, gonna tell all the world how I feel about it." This song is about Rita Coolidge who is (was?) married to Kris Kristofferson.
53 years ago, where the hell has time gone????And this music still nails it.
Good ride with this music ism 60
Yeah…we don’t have time….time has us
If you figure it out, for God's sake tell me.
For sure!
Yep, and I was there at The Warehouse in New Orleans when the MD&E tour made their 2nd World Tour stop in 1970,.... thank the lord for You Tube today,... cuz much of today's noise is rarely like the great music of 53 years ago.

Randall Goya Nice mum!!!:)))
Great mother you had. She raised you right.
Very cool Mom
Your Mom gave you a great education in music 🎶😎 bless you Mom
Beautiful ❤
I'm 74 and so grateful I grew up in this era of music. I'm still crazy from the 60's and 70's.
I'm 73, have my guitar in hand as I write this and I'm very pissed that I live in an illegal state and can't get weed
I'm 27 and I like Joe cocker and old music like this so it doesn't matter how old you are it because of how good the music is
@@TMullins123 Haaahaaa! LOL at you whining about weed. SMH. Fakkin renob.
@@TMullins123
Why is your State illegal?
Stay crazy
Bobby Keys is an absolute STAR!

Perfect description of a spontaneous moment of artists being lost in the music
There is a fabulous documentary on Bobby keys called Everynight is a Saturday Night (,I think that is close, you can google it,) deep dive into his history.
Fun fact...he shares a birthday with Keith richards
That's what I like about Joes music. You FEEL it
One of the most frenetic, frenzied, powerful, soulful, energetic amazing performers ever!! There will never be anyone who could come close to Joe Cocker's epic legendary performances!
You are very missed Joe, thankfully there are recordings of your jaw dropping performances!!
Well said
50 people on that stage and Joe blew them all away…What a performance ⚡️⚡️⚡️
My senior year of college ... This was (and still is) one of the GREATEST R'n R' albums of all time! Great music and great memories! LEON RUSSELL! WOO HOO!
Those were the days.
Music that really hit you to the bones....
I recently bought the cd of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, what an amazing album, Joe sings with 2 things which are sorely lacking in the soul less crap that is called music today, he sings with HEART AND SOUL! Good on you Joe!
Another legend gone too soon. Today his music is still played and celebrated. Unique! 👏
I don't even have words. Such an incredible loss. I met him and his wife at an after party with the Cars in 77. A genuinely kind and gracious man and a lovely woman. My condolences to those who he left behind. My heart is weeping
RIP Mr. John Robert Cocker. Get up there with the rest of the greats . Keep singing from the clouds, We will hear you. Brought me to tears.
I love that look on Joe's face, when he thinks the song is over and the band starts playing again.
Yes, It's a remarkable look. What a visual performance on his face alone.
The reprise is part of the act
It’s because Joe is tripping balls and screws up the lyric and the writer Leon wants him to get it right, dammit
priceless
raw and powerfull. joe and the group were pure talent.
One of the great performances on You Tube.
R I P Joe
you dont see this any more ... i miss it
+aussie gold People today would just focus on his unusual body-language and take videos with their phones and make fun of him. It's too much about appearance these days. Joe Cocker had more talent and soul in his facial hair alone, than most of todays 'artists' combined.
Leon Russel was one of the Greats that was underrated and undervalued for his genius and writing skills. He was really a Separate Soul.
Reading his biography now. It w as just released e d a few months ago....written at the urging of Elton John. FINALLY! A real, thorough bio of this amazing contribution to the music world!
You got that straight.........Jack !
Just as powerful today as it was over 50 years ago God bless you Joe and Leon
Soundtrack to my childhood. My dad had this album and played it constantly. I'm 59 now, and still love it as much I did when I was 5.
lord how I miss Leon Russell . the caliber of musicians/songwriters these days just dont compare
Most don't realize the effect he had on our music growing up. He is a National Treasure. Got to see him in small venue in Davenport , IA a couple years before passed. One of the best shows I ever saw.
Yep, too bad that he is almost invisible here! Not a single close up shot...
Cocker pretty much was the breakthrough star at Woodstock most everyone else was firmly established. A year later this tour. The Horn section became the Rolling Stones horn section,

Is that Bobby Keys on sax, hence his later gig with the Stones?
@@Moykel - yes
Superstars all
Saw the movie new. This was the memory. And I remember it perfectly, the look on Cocker’s face. Freakin Leon Russell. Man was this great to find.
And that's the way we perform music! Loved this song then, and love it now.
A life well lived, Joe Cocker. You will not be forgotten.
Still holds up! Melts my brain every time.
Only Joe put that much into a song. Saw him live in a small club in Oakland CA years ago. Loved this guy. RIP Joe.
You freakin' got your money's worth when you went to his concert!
Great song..Soulful, gutsy, Cocker and the back up singers are on fire
Saw him only once at Woodstock. It was a performance not to be forgotten. He wiil be missed.
The greatest blue-eyed soul singer I've ever seen
I’m so grateful I got to see Mad Dogs and Englishmen, a week before my 15th birthday at the Swing Auditorium, had to be there to there to believe it, that stage had about 60 people up there & dogs & balloons & the sound was perfect 👍
If ever anyone asks you to define Rock 'n Roll, show them this. Joe at his finest
Bobby Keys was the best saxophone player in rock and roll, period. Apparently he was also a great partying wingman (Keith Richards) as well. RIP Bobby.
Why in the hell is joe cocker not in the rock and roll hall of fame (shame,). Disgraceful 😢.
And yet, Michael Jackson and Dolly Parton are. RRHOF is a sham
I was 8 yrs old when I heard this and it shaped music for me for the rest of my life (so far). I can only listen to music performed with passion. And it's a glorious thing.
Oh God that was transcendent! Loved seeing footage of the late, great Bobby Keys next to Mr. Cocker. What a powerful, performance. Joe Cocker, you are so beautiful to me. RIP. Somewhere in the ether, there's one hell of a jam session going on...
what a great rock and roll voice and presence
Why does this bring a tear to my eye?
Could it be because I could have...and should have...been to this concert in NYC, and didn't go?
Tempus Fugit.....:(
It was one you should not have missed. Trust me.
Saw the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour in Hartford, CT (Bushnell Auditorium) late sixties. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Leon was amazing. My ears were ringing for days.
Joe Cocker was a MONSTER talent - love him forever~!
Thanks so much for uploading this, one of the great live performances
A musical legend who will be sorely missed. Just as this song goes and lives on and on...so will your spirit.
One of the great voices of the 60s is gone. Will for ever live in our hearts
Lit as f*&k. Still blasting those pipes. Glad he made it out of these times. Viva La Joe Cocker!
Thank you Joe Cocker for so many years of great music all they way back to my childhood. Your music always took me back to my yesterdays and will continue to do so. May you forever Rest In Peace! They don't make music like the musicians during this ear of time.
RIP Joe, Thank you for setting the live rock & roll bar so high.
Another music legend passes into history. RIP Joe.
On the Mt. Rushmore of albums. The top 5 of them all. Joe's singing and Leon Russell's arrangements make this the best. Wore out my vinyl twice. Just a great album from start to finish.
No one can even come close to this...Thank you for getting this on tape . Now i know my life was blessed

Music just turned him on so much...RIP Joe, we will miss you!
it was my mom and dad who paved the way for music to take over my youth that found me on many stages in many states literally
Mad Dogs and Englishman along with Delaney I Bonnie Friends on Tour. Two of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded.
Throw in Commander Cody’s “We’ve Got a Live One Here” and you have the triple play to end all triple plays.

Love the way they blast this song out and then drop back down to mellow waiting and ruminating before blasting it out again.
He still sounds great after all these. My favorite entertainer ever.
Saw that beautiful show in Detroit
What a memory that must be.
Thanks Joe and thanks Leon Russell and the Band
His choice of Leon was a stroke of genius
Leon produced a few songs on Cocker's album and gave him Delta Lady to record. Joe was tired after touring and stayed with Leon, in CA. Joe didn't want to tour, he was forced to and Leon, fortunately, was there to help. I got to see this band and it was awesome. Words can't describe how great it was.
wasn't his idea.
RIP Joe :( can't stop crying.
On a par with his performance of Little Help From My Friends at Woodstock with this performance. Just awesome
I was there,Tulsa OK,16,and it was my first concert
The only true rock and roll orchestra ever, driven by the two Jims on drums
Real Sheriff, Mr. Cocker
A true One❤
I didn't know this was filmed. I had this album back when it was new and listened to this song approximately 326,000 times. Now it sometimes plays in my head on its own. Great to be able to see it! thanks for posting this. Great times and great memories.
Saw them in Seattle... seems like yesterday. RIP Joe.
Joe made "one of a kind". The most loving and appreciation of the blues man ever.
When rock was young, exciting and not business oriented. An unforgettable golden era
A GREAT MUSIC MAN IS GONE....BUT WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN !!
Great band. Fantastic performance. Joe digging deep!
"Rock and Roll..."
R.I.P.
Joe Cocker, you are the finest of Englishmen.
Omg I LOVE THIS MAN!! With a ferocity of the ages! Helluva performer. RIP and thank you.
Miss you Bobby 🎷
One of the greatest tours ever this is real Music
R.I.P. Joe Cocker. You were England's gift to America . Thank You
One of the greats of my generation
First concert movie I ever saw about 1970 ish 13 years old.
Loved this song,Joe live forever!,,,,,,,,,,,
Love his look of WTF! at the beginning of the second reprise. Bobby Keys, most of D&B, all the ladies. Just effin' WOW.
I know joe goes WTF ? and I don't think he wanted to go again but Leon insisted !
tenparab Yes! You can see him looking at Leon over there...Leon was the "leader"...you can here him start up on the piano, and Joe had to start back up.
It's funny; he has that look for just a second before the music starts flowing through him again and he gets that possessed look in his eye. Luckily he didn't live in medieval times or he would've been burned at the stake for being a heretic during those "dancing mania" days...
Joseph Halpern I think he was pissed that he had to start up again but if he didn't he would have looked foolish , whatever, that song certainly rocked !!
Oh most definitely to all of that...and after that drink of "water" he sounded even better!
Gotta love his energy and voice. RIP. :(
most dramatic head roll in rock history lol. This song is great. Joe's so passionate and Bobby' s great on sax. all so great
This used to play the Midnight movies on Saturday nights back in the early 70's...best concert film ever .
RIP.... Goodbye and thank you, Joe
R.I.P. Joe,one of the great voices in R&R.
Thank Joe, for all the emotions! RIP
Don’t know what you’ve got til its gone😢❤
I knew Joe Cocker in 1990. He is a pioneer in this sort of art and culture that will never be repeated.
In the 70`s no Festival without Joe, he was part of ouer family and everybody of us, has the move with the arms learned
Absolutely stoned an absolutely brilliant
Keep playing that great 70's music 😄
fuck his voice is just pure power and emotion, goosebumps
Im sure their diet kept going!!!!!!! The best rock and roll film of its time? pretty close. Great sound. great camera shots. beautiful ladys a many. Songs that keep on giving.
Cocker & Russell was a dynamite combo.
My very first concert, Joe and Leon..... best ever,
Thank you Joe. God speed my friend.
RIP Joe Cocker. Been a fan since Woodstock!
Playing Joe and listening to all his songs. Played a lot of these in my days as a drummer in the late 60's.What a great musician so sad to lose him. Just been listening to Mad Dogs in last couple of days not expecting his passing. RIP Joe

You will never see finer Rock n Roll ...Vale Joe !
