(More customer reviews)Who would ever have thought that Joe Cocker would still be recording and touring 35 years after the release of "Mad Dogs and Englishmen. This 35th anniversary edition DVD has one big advantage over the original release, and that is superior sound and picture quality. This film captures the frenzy and energy of one of the greatest rock tours ever. Cocker and a 43 member entourage stormed across America for several weeks, playing to packed houses and rave reviews. Although this event nearly ruined Joe Cocker, it never the less captures a young Joe Cocker in his wired prime, belting out such favorites as "The Letter", "Feelin Alright", "Delta Lady", "Space Captain", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window", "Honkey Tonk Woman", and a heartfelt rendition of George Harrison's "Something", just to name a few. This film captures a hippie commune circus with back stage footage, interviews etc. To music fans today, this will seem somewhat dated, but to us baby-boomers, this was cutting edge rock music of the times, when we had a proliferation of AOR radio playing this music everyday. I highly recommend this Dvd to all classic rock fans, as well as the companion 35th anniversary cd, which is loaded with 10 bonus tracks, which has now displaced the original recording as obsolete. Hopefully, the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame will wake up, and realize that COCKER POWER is alive and well, and induct this deserving rock legend.

One of the greatest rock films of all time, Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen gets digitally overhauled and released on DVD for the very first time! This film captures one of the most exciting concert tours ever and defines the spirit of a generation in much the same way as Woodstock and The Last Waltz. Joe Cocker and friends, among them rock legend Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge, cut loose with close to two dozen incredible songs. Mad Dogs & Englishmen stands today as one of the most dramatic visual records of a tour and a time, with backstage footage, fan interviews and electric performances. Remastered in 5.1 surround and stereo, this DVD also includes a Personal Playlist, allowing the viewer to sequence & play this film’s full-length, classic live performances like "Delta Lady," "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window." As an added bonus, the package comes with a 24-page Pressbook from the original theatrical marketing of the film in 1971. TRACKS:ALBION INTRO.
