Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited Live at LOCKN

The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell's Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited is a vibrant tribute to one of the most iconic live rock collaborations in music history. Originally led by Joe Cocker and legendary keyboardist and bandleader Leon Russell in 1970, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a raucous, soulful tour that brought together a huge ensemble of musicians. In 2015, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, led by guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks and powerhouse vocalist Susan Tedeschi, revived this milestone, adding their own blend of Southern soul, blues and rock.

The revival concert at the Lockn' Festival featured a star-studded line-up. TTB not only brought their usual 12-piece ensemble, but also welcomed original Mad Dogs members Rita Coolidge, Chris Stainton and Claudia Lennear, as well as a diverse group of contemporary collaborators including Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne and Dave Mason. The stage often swelled to over 20 musicians, reflecting the large, collaborative spirit of the original tour.

Derek Trucks himself says about the project:

"When I started talking to Susan about forming a band, we were re-watching the film “Mad Dogs” at around the same time. We realised: If we were ever going to do a big band or a rock “n” roll circus, now is the time. If we wait five or ten years, we won't have the energy to do it. Realising this and hearing the music has reinforced this idea."
