Movie Reviews of Mad Dogs & Englishmen - Joe Cocker
Movie Review: The Performance Was Joe's Thing @ How I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends.
Summary: 5 Stars
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,...
Summary of Mad Dogs & Englishmen - Joe Cocker
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.
