Cant believe Leon isnt listed on this video...he put Mad Dogs And Englishmen together! Hell of a talent, Hell of a show!!! RIP Leon...RIPJoe You are greatly missed Ty for sharing your music and talent with us...
Brutally classic gutbucket rock and roll. Leon was a stone genius bringing this together. I'd watch this until I'm pushing up daisys. This.. or Russell's performance at the Bangladesh shows. Absolutely timeless.
Absobloodylutely. Leon got classic from teachers, harmony en mass at Tulsa Boys Singers and honkey tonk piano blended with Tulsa church music. There is a Tulsa sound, he embodied that special blend. Billy had that same honkey tonk, mixed with church music sound on keyboards.
I saw this in a good theater when it came out. It was amazing on the big screen with incredible surround sound. I remember the girl i took loved it as well. Wonder where she is now.
Just thinking @71 yrs there has been 2 people who are able to envoke in my soul sheer unbridled joy & excited pleasure- Joe Cocker is the #1. Something in the way he sings (ha, slight pun) consistently brings unrivaled blissful delight.
So glad this was captured on film...The music was amazing, the musicians top notch, and Leon's arrangements were perfect. Captures the 70's vibe so well.
it breaks my heart... the knowing this will never happen again... rip joe cocker and rip leon russel... that was just magic.... more words are useless...
Joe, Leon and the rest of their group were superb. Can they ever be beat? Probably not but it doesn't matter! Have confidence that young musicians somewhere have, and will, create joy and ecstasy just like these people did. Rock and roll will never die!!!
Yeah, but we have great music today, too, like uh ..hmm: Justin Bieber. Yeah, he's as good as Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Traffic, Aretha Franklin, The Stones, The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, and Santana. Sure he is. The only thing I can figure is there was a spell on the earth in the late sixties/early seventies that has long since passed!
you see, back then the band played their instruments. some of them, like leon and his pals, VERY well, studio level well. today they have all sorts of ways to make a garbage disposal sound like a whipporwil.
I never met. Leon but a keyboard player friend of mine would go visit him to pick his brain and said he would help anyone with the craft and would play for free if no one would pay.
Drove around the USA and Canada in 1971 with a VW and tent and was driving from Washington , DC up to New York . We could not find anywhere cheap to camp so went to an all night drive in movie and this was on . Must have seen it about three times in between trying to get some sleep , a memorable night .
Went to tons of concerts back in the late sixties and seventies but never got to see the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. Still waiting for someone to invent that time machine.
Yup, saw this tour & it was incredible!! Went with all my troupe of friends, we were so young and passionate and it was the best PA I’d heard, the sound was amazing everywhere in the Auditorium, but the show was even better. Crazy packed stage, with anything and everyone up there, Rita Coolidge complained about all the extras who got in the way in her memoir, but I was 14 & thought it was fabulous!
If you like this, you might want to check out the new concert/documentary movie “Learning to Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs and Englishmen”. Shortly before his passing, Leon reunited with surviving members of the Mad Dogs & Englishmen (Rita Coolidge, Jim Keltner, Claudia Lennear, Chris Stainton,, Bobby Torres, others) and augmented by Chris Robinson (Black Crows), The Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Dave Mason for a concert to recreate the music of the original touring group. It’s pretty damn amazing. Seek it out.
Pupils like saucepans across the stage, "band members" experiencing different realities and time zones across multiple planes of existence yet somehow still in perfect musical synchronicity with one another; you can practically taste the coke and LSD on the back of your palette just in watching this clip. Phenomenal performance from an amazing film, one of the most raw representations of pure 70s free love and drugs excess you'll ever experience.
I saw that one-of-a-kind tour! 1970 at Fillmore West in San Francisco. A stage filled with brilliant musicians and a room with so much energy I'm surprised it didn't explode. What a memory!
@@waltermameli2026 I was a San Francisco hippie Flower Child. Although sadly, by 1970 the “Summer of Love” was long gone. I will always be grateful to have been a part of that. 🌺🌸😊
@@SusannahPerri You were witness to the best period of music in this country up close and personal and perhaps the word envy is not the correct word...i am in AWE of you and your story...Miss Perri you Rock...
my mom used to groove to hot tuna electric, she was 38 & had never heard of them. she passed @91 2 years ago. my folks were so opened minded about music. my dad liked jerry lee lewis, CCR,fats domino & johnny cash
Ao ver este vídeo me fez voltar a minha juventude aos meus 17.18.19 anos Quando os amigos se reuniam na casa de outro amigo para uma sessão se rock onde rodava discos de Joe Cocker,Janis Joplin,Jimmy Hendricks,Rollin g Stones e outros mais regado a muita cerveja e churrasco acompanhados de lindas garotas .!! Meu Deus como era Boa a nossa vida pena que o tempo passa. Hoje estou com 67 anos . Mas curti a vida e nunca esqueço.
He was. And he was incredibly talented. I did hear he pushed Joe so hard that it blew out Joe's voice and it was much raspier after that. If it is true, these are the songs with his original voice intact. I don't blame Leon in a way. He was such a genius he knew exactly what he wanted and did rally people to push themselves. When we are young, we don't think there are limits.
would rather Don Preston on guitar. I can see the wonderful advantages of being close to my girlfriend Claudia and Rita, but I'd much rather he was out front on lead guitar. Special clip opens with my wonderful Claudia smile, One does notice how Joe is not totally with the Emily thing, quite rightly. Bit too much railroaded into that stuff, but who cares, Gail's having fun. and who can blame her, it's epic.
This was in Boston? Orephum? or Music Hall, dang in missed this.. but wore out the LP, but i did see Leon play in Foxboro at a small venue withing the last 10 years
This kind of thing could never happen today.
? They are unfortunately death. So it's impossible I think
Who stole the Soul?
Bring it on back.
Talent and soul are required and unfortunately the cupboard is bare these days
This is a precious video of Joe Cocker and Leon Russell.....their contribution to Rock n Roll was massive to the tenth power.....
Joe cocker not in the r and r hall of fame??????
Incredible!!
The man could do beetles and rolling stones to perfection r.i.p. joe cocker xx
❤🎉
Cant believe Leon isnt listed on this video...he put Mad Dogs And Englishmen together!
Hell of a talent, Hell of a show!!!
RIP Leon...RIPJoe
You are greatly missed
Ty for sharing your music and talent with us...
GREATLY missed! He was the Director of the tour.
I only watched this for Leon. ❤
If there was any negative to the greatest album ever, it was that the real guitarist didn't feture enough.
Brutally classic gutbucket rock and roll. Leon was a stone genius bringing this together. I'd watch this until I'm pushing up daisys. This.. or Russell's performance at the Bangladesh shows. Absolutely timeless.
If you like Leon's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" from the Bangladesh Concert , check out his version w/ Willie Nelson. Now THAT'S a badass grandpa!
Just came here from Jumpin Jack Flash/ Youngblood from Bangladesh concert...amazing!

Wow. Cant even imagine that energy live. I would have been climbing the walls
Joe, Leon and the rest of their group were superb. Can they ever be beat? Probably not but it doesn't matter! Have confidence that young musicians somewhere have, and will, create joy and ecstasy just like these people did. Rock and roll will never die!!!
those days were absolutely wild, music everywhere all the time, you would never forget it.
Yeah 100% spot on,real music
John If I had a time machine I would take us all back.
And may I add it was great music!
Yeah, but we have great music today, too, like uh ..hmm: Justin Bieber.

Keltner and Gordon at one stage..
Amazing drummers.
Joe Cool..never be another like him..Leon was a cool breeze that was always a welcome sight.
And one of the best. I was lucky enough to see the tour live, but all the off stage craziness was fantastic!
They were a fun loving group. Mad dogs and Englishmen. Awesome Joe Cocker. R.I.P.
My mom got to see the Mad Dogs tour in New Orleans when she was 16 and said it was the best concert she's ever been to. So jealous
The 70s, when it didn’t cost a mortgage to see the best bands in the world.
👍👍😎💥
la joie de vivre cette époque ✌✌❤❤🎼🎼🎸🎸
Always love when Miss Emily dances across the stage and gets a kiss from Leon. Priceless!
Brilliant...raw rock n roll at its best.
Was there at Fillmore East in 1970 I think it was, age 14 - amazed my parents let me go! They were so good and so fun.
Mad dogs and Englishman ... Joe and Leon and friends ....I love it....
A spectacular version by a spectacular artist! RIP Joe.
I saw this concert at the Fillmore East years ago. Fun show and fun times!!
I have this tour video on DVD. Amazing stuff. Makes today's music sound like a plate of sh!t.
never been for sale in Australia that I know of
you see, back then the band played their instruments. some of them, like leon and his pals, VERY well, studio level well. today they have all sorts of ways to make a garbage disposal sound like a whipporwil.
I was at the first concert in Detroit at the Eastown Theatre, still the best concert I ever attended.
I love a good turn of phrase.
@@CliveNDerek 'Sounds like a plate of sh!t' is actually cognitive dissonance, but i do believe it would sound very nasty.
I love this so much, got totally hooked on the album years ago. RIP the amazing Joe Cocker
Always a musical experience at higher levels !! Thanks Joe Cocker wherever you are. !Viva México!
What a great concert this was, one of my favorites
*WHAT PRESENCE* Leon had. He's literally *Rock and Roll on two feet*
HELL YEAH !!!! 💓💓💓
Que belleza todo esto 🙏♥️gracias por compartir ..desde Argentina 🇦🇷 ✌️
I saw them in 1968 at the Capital in Port Chester, New York it was the Best Show I had ever seen to this day.
best live show and album, saw the tour in San Antonio....
Estos loquillos me vuelven loca tanta energía puro amor sentimientos de alegría energía positiva te amo Joe cocker ❤❤❤❤
Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner on drums...incredible!!
If you are feeling down, watch this ! Rip Joe ! Rip Leon !
im doing that now!
What a band..... Carl Radle and Jim Gordon went on to play with Clapton on the Layla record.....
The World Misses Both Joe / Leon
There Must Be A BIG Party Some Where Up There !!!
9 / 11 / 18
I grew up in the wrong generation. Love hearing stories about these days from my dad.
Well, you have Arcade Fire. In fact, I should say WE have Arcade Fire. I'm 67 and I think there is a ton of good music out there. :)
You and me both. Were the two witnesses haha love it
I never met. Leon but a keyboard player friend of mine would go visit him to pick his brain and said he would help anyone with the craft and would play for free if no one would pay.
azznbad1 That is the sort of guy Leon was. He was very generous with helping others. He was one of the best and is missed by many including me.
Beyond fabulous entirely … a time past … Keltner and Gordon together… added to our younger lives joyously x
now that's what music is all about,
love it
I think there's a few "musicians" today that could learn A LOT from this. RIP Joe & Leon.
And RIP Sweet Emily..!
Agree 💯 ALL "musicians" even back then could learn from them!When music was real music 🎶 not this shit they have today!
Jim Keltner keeping them all together ! Great drummer

I hope it's soon!
They were a one of kind performance band. Leon had a vision.
Pamela Poland wearing Leon's top hat-great singer!
Leon was the shit! RIP both of these legends
joe and leon, what a combo
No matter how good an original was, once Joe Cocker did it he owned it.
Amo esta canción maravillosa y todos lo participantes obra maestra y el genio interpretativo de Joe vcariños para todos. ❤❤❤
what a crazy wild time, people and the music! omg the music!!! soooooo crazy and good!
No matter how many people were on that stage when Joe Cocker step up to the mic he took command of the whole show.
I saw them in Denver and it was amazing !!! Thanx Ya'll >>>> J D

Jonathan Garner hell yeah, saw it on the big screen summer of '74 @ an NCSU late show with gimme shelter

Holy sh*t this ROCKS! So much!!
So cool that Rita Coolidge is part of the back up!
Dropped acid and went to see the movie in Venice, CA.... on Lincoln Blvd? Can't remember, but it definitely got me HIGHER.

60's and 70's were rockin..Joe Cocker the legend of rock n roll ..best vocalist on a stage..great performance..and band

Hello Susannah how are you doing!!
Wish I was a background singer back then

Com certeza essa obra prima encontra-se entre os 10 maiores álbuns já produzidos.
Estamos falando de gênios da música universal.
100% Rock n' Roll . Love it !!!
One of the craziest rock movies i've ever seen.
Yes back in the days when music was music.Cocker, Russell and so many other greats Nobody does real music today except the Stones of course

Mad Dogs & Englishmen Joe, Leon all fantastics!! 🤗🤗❤️🌹👏👏👏
JOE COCKER GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BARDZO i MIŁOŚĆ ☮️ POKÓJ MUZYKA tak
@ThePhantomRailroads You've got that right! No matter how they looked, the choir was a well rehearsed, talented bunch of singers.
Makes me think of my mom, cooking in the kitchen and wiggling at the same time. She reminds me of Miss Emily.
Your mom sounds badass!
