IN 2015, 45 YEARS AFTER THE FACT,

Tedeschi Trucks Band invited the remaining members

of Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen band to

recreate their eponymous 1970 live album onstage

at the LOCKN’ Festival in Arrington, VA. Bandleader

and “Master of Space and Time” Leon Russell was

there, as were Rita Coolidge and “Feelin’ Alright” scribe

Dave Mason. Also along for the ride were Mad Dogs

and Englishmen progeny like Chris Robinson, Warren

Haynes and John Bell. (Candida, the stage-dog from

Pierre Adidge’s original 1971 tour film, was not available.)

Counting the 12 members of TTB, 29 performers threw

down that night. They paid homage to Cocker, who died

in 2014, and his shambolic, once-in-a-lifetime Mad Dogs

& Englishmen — widely considered one of the greatest

live albums in rock history.

 

The LOCKN’ concert was captured by director Jesse

Lauter in a feature-length documentary Learning to Live

Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen (2021)

which goes behind the scenes for the three days of

intimate rehearsals leading up to the concert, including

rare musical collaborations, and revealing interviews with

Derek, Susan and the event’s major players.
