Joe Cocker – A Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tribute
“New York City March 1970, NYC was shaking off another grey winter, getting ready for spring and the dawning of a new decade. The 60’s and the promise of Woodstock ended w/a SICKENING thud this past December at a Stones concert at Altamont in northern California. The war was still raging. The Weathermen blew up a building in the village…the one they lived in. The Chicago Seven got off, but Timothy Leary didn’t…for a change. He got ten years for possession of two roaches! On TV the top shows were Marcus Welby, Flip Wilson and Gunsmoke. TV was kind of a drag. MASH had just opened at the theaters but truth was we still all came together around the music, and it was awesome. The Beatles, said Let It Be, and we all knew the end was near. In New York 1970 the place to be was Greenwich Village. The weekends found most of us on 2nd Ave and 6th. That was Bill Grahams Fillmore East. The year had started out with Jimi Hendrix and a band of Gypsies on New Years Eve. In March alone there was Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Steve Miller Band, Miles Davis, BB King, The Moody Blues…and then there was the last weekend of March the 27th and 28th, Easter Weekend.. It was Joe Cocker, man he’d blew us away at Woodstock last summer, and now he was playing with Leon Russell with a little help from their friends. They called themselves The Mad Dogs and Englishmen and they were to use the vernacular of the times….OUTTA SIGHT!! “
