Description

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.

The Performance Was Joe's Thing @ How I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends. .......2007-06-03

Buying all his early LP's being one of those young kids enamored with the blue eyed soul bands like the great Rascals,Animals, those great Box Tops singles and then Joe, this later day Woodstock legend from Sheffield UK that burst out fusing the persona of a manic spastic standing drunken Ray Charles with a voice of gravel, fire and honey delivering brassy rock gospel panache with a hippie entourage of dreamers,rock icons, passionate musicians who were clearly into jazz and good roots music cutting his 1st 2 studio albums with the then great musicians like Jimmy Page,Stevie Winwood,Leon Russell,Chris Stainton and then on Mad Dogs capturing a wild travelling minstrel show of hippie gypsy life on the road barnstorming through America is all captured here on this wonderful DVD showing you why Joe was one of the greatest at his game who unfortunately due to whatever excess, psychological and chemical who like most musicians that live the down and out portraits of their music become a self fulfilling prophecy.
I later saw Cocker on the "Stingray" tour and he had to be escorted off the stage in a drunken stupor nonetheless I was glad to be there.
As to the film itself, it is a treat..it's 1960's early 1970's imagery,improvisational dialogue,camera using 3 views simultaneously of the concert portion is all highly entertaining,never boring as the music is all driving soulful renditions of songs transformed by Cocker into a vehicle all of his own with a loose band of entertainers combining folly and intensity that worked very well.
Too bad, that despite the likes of his then relationships with Leon Russel,Rita Coolidge, members of this large choir, noted rock horn men, his contacts and a@R men, how this driven exuberant performer like Cocker was a wanderer enduring without a steady band of his own,not being known as a major songwriter but a talent covering classics in his own fashion , groping through the rest of his career with various sounds and noted musicians whether reggae tinged,Randy Newman style tin pan alley,is all best summed up on his wonderful box set "Long Voyage Home" and like this film and the 2 CD deluxe edition of the soundtrack is your ticket into essential Cocker and into this highly sensitive man who did a lot to bring great jazz,soul music into the the white mainstream while covering the Beatles,Leonard Cohen,Traffic,Animals,Dylan,Box Tops,Lovin Spoonful(J.Sebastin),Rolling Stones.Jackson Browne,...

I know I saw this in the theater.......2007-03-24

I will order this because I can't remember what the original was about.
Somehow I survived the 60's and embraced the 70's with a new found passion for.....I forget what the passion was....maybe this DVD will remind what all that was about.

BOOMER'S MUST HAVE.......2007-03-19

We're not babies (Baby Boomers) any more, but we like to reminisce and revisit our memories. Well, this is it. There are the long hair/beards, electric guitars, and the rich melody of the rock of those days. This is a must have, gang. While you're shopping around for nostalgia make sure to get this one, and while you're at it, pickup George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh as well (1971).

Disappointed!.......2006-08-25

I'm a leftover hippie and remember the movie and how much it showed the "commune" spirit of the time. However, there were a couple of songs listed that were not on the DVD- notibly, Rita Coolidge's "Superstar", which is the song I most wanted to here. I should have bought the more expensive one but felt I was misled. I don't think the sound was very good but enjoyed it anyway.

When He's On, It's Great. Unfortunately...........2006-06-28

I will admit, it was the original album that I heard, and never saw this film until now. When he's on stage, I can almost forgive the poor video quality, and so-so sound because of the energy that's on stage. When he is not on stage, it's dull, boring, confusing, and out-dated. I wish A&M would have made a Concert Only mode (I would have enjoyed 80 or 90 minutes of concert over 30 or 40 minutes of fans, roadies, band members, and groupies). Also the soundtrack is better soundwise, and also has more songs (Cry Me A River is one I can think of that's missing from the film that's on the soundtrack). All & all, the film is not as good as the soundtrack CD. I also agree with the gentleman that mentioned Concert For Bangladesh.

badly produced dvd.......2006-03-02

Nothing "glorious" about this Brazilian version of Mad Dogs. Looks and sounds like a 30 year old video tape. And where is Cry me a river? Could the best song from the soundtrack really have been omitted from the film?

Claudia( Ms. Brown Sugar)Linnear - Hot Damn!!!.......2005-04-13

OK film as far as a retrospective.As a DVD it was maudlin. The audio was 'hissy' & the video was 'dull' . It looked as though it had bee copied from a VHS.Good film but it just didn't live up to its HYPE. But then there's Claudia!

Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs and Englishmen a great album from the fillmore east great rock and roll

With a Little Help from his Friends........2004-12-11

This Brazilian version is beautiful. The sound and picture are glorious. Get this while you can....and enjoy the ride....musicianship, unabashed shenanigans, warmth of the sun, people watching, and on and on....captured in a wild style, maverick motion picture..I did not want the movie to end.

BIG THEN ANYTHING ELSE HE DID.......2004-07-03

I can't understand how people can even think that it's less then 5*. This is the best of cocker and the combination with rusell is out of the world. These kind of masterpieces are really in short for the last 30 years (yeah, the last masterpiece came out around 1974). So, we have treasure these moments and keep the memories. Amazon will do only good if it press the publisher to release it once more. This Cocker will never be again.
