      My son (Mark Henes) is a fantastic guitarist in Nashville and yes, the gigs and locations are not what they use to be. I grew up in Montgomery, AL late 70's and Tommy Shaw's parents of Styx were my next door neighbor. We would go out to Sandy Creek campgrounds and see bands like Heart and ZZ Top? ZZ actually flew in on a helicopter and we all had our cheap sunglasses. So Cool.

    I think I said this elsewhere, but about 30 years ago, my Beatles loving son said confidently that NOBODY could do a Beatles song as well as the Fab Four themselves. I said, "Wait here", and went to retrieve a cassette tape of Joe Cocker, with his band and choir, and played "With a Little Help from My Friends." When it was over there was a moment of stunned silence before young Matthew said, "Well......nobody ELSE could." There are two great paths for musicians, to be the creator of music, or to be the interpreter. As an interpreter of the works of others, Joe Cocker was unsurpassed.

He is one of the most underappreciated geniuses in the history of modern music. Where is a time machine when we really need one? Remember, this was the next year after Woodstock.

    A buddy of mine was hired as head of security for this concert. He kindly invited me to be a back stage hangout. It was quite a scene. Leon Russell really impressed me, I had never seen him before. He was clearly the ring master, and he played a hell of a guitar as well as rocking piano. At the end of the concert, when the audience had all filed out, I was standing in one of the front rows and watched as Leon came on stage and grabbed his Gibson Black Beauty and put it in the case. He was totally, totally exhausted. Completely wiped out. I'll never forget it.

Saw Leon in his white tux n top hat, at the Little Bear in Evergreen, CO, in the early 1990's i think. Then saw Leon after he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. Search Elton John Leon Russell, Rock n Roll, n watch that. Shows Elton's character, finding Leon destitute, and getting him back to performing. I saw Leon a few years after that, b4 he died, at an old historic theater in Denver. I feel blessed to have seen such talent in person.

    Mad Dogs & Englishman.
    Only together for about a season, greatest Rock&Roll band, ever.
    I had the good fortune of catching them on Sunday May 3, 1970 (the day before the Kent State massacre.)
    It was the last act at an outdoor festival in New Paltz (ninety miles north of NYC) with about ten thousand people watching...
    Unquestionably the very best of the many , many great Rock&Roll shows in my lifetime....
    I was a thirteen year old, wannabe hippie and slinked my way all the way to the stage and had a bird's eye view of the incredible, nearly three hour show.
    Leon and the band started without Joe, playing a swingy intro tune, after which he informed the audience that on the bus up, he heard somebody playing some amazing harmonica, and he knew it wasn't something he'd heard before... eventually he figured out it was the bus driver !
    He then introduced the fella, who came out in front of the crowd in his Trailways uniform.
    He started to blow on his harp, and soon he had the entire crowd stomping up and down.... and then Joe reeled out and started up "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" - fucking magic, for the next three hours ...

    60 years ago I sat in the dressing room of the Esquire Club in Sheffield waiting to meet Vance Arnold & the Avengers. That night Jo was on the threshold of going pro. He worked for the Gas Board and went around asking everyone if he should pack it up and be a full time singer. He finally got around to asking the perplexed 15 year old sat back stage - What shall I do John?
    My father who was club photographer took some amazing images of Joe which I have treasured forever ❤️John Vincent

    He put a lot of honesty and energy into it. It just blows me away how talented He and Leon Russell Really are.

      Yes he certainly did ... and Leon Russell ripped him off !!!... Sang his fucking lungs out and got fucked in the arse by the people you are supposed to trust.

    Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, and even Rita Coolidge as one of the backup singers - with this incredible band. What amazing performances from an incredible tour. More of the music of my youth. It lives in my heart forever, as do these wonderful humans/musicians. Praise & Blessings.
