Movie Synopsis:

The turbulent life of soul and blues singer, the late Joe Cocker. A former gas fitter from Sheffield, catapulted to world stardom in 1969 at Woodstock with his legendary performance of the Beatles song, "A Little Help from My Friends". But in the early 1970s, Joe Cocker's inner demons nearly killed him. Overcoming his struggles with alcohol and drugs, he rebuilt his reputation as "one of the great primal rock and roll vocalists of all time" (Billy Joel's description). The film mixes Joe Cocker's own words, with rare archive. His family, friends and the legendary songwriters and musicians he collaborated with, tell Joe Cocker's story. The film has raw, electric performance footage throughout.

Movie Synopsis:

Learning To Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a documentary/concert film telling the complete story of Joe Cocker's historic "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour through the lens of the Grammy-Winning Tedeschi Trucks Band's reunion of the Mad Dogs, which featured Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), Dave Mason, Claudia Lennear ("20 Feet From Stardom"), and a dozen of the original Mad Dogs. In addition to showcasing inspired performances from the reunion show and providing an exclusive look at the history of the tour (via never-before-seen archival materials and commentary from the original members, critic David Fricke, and notable fans who saw the original tour such as Jon Landau and Steve Earle), the film features the last filmed interview with the late Leon Russell.
