Seeing the list of folks that went this year starts to make one feel old.

It always looked to me like Joe was playing "air bass" while performing - particularly earlier on..... slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 710 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Monday, December 22, 2014 - 1:14 pm:    RIP Mr. Cocker you have always been an inspiration to me. slawie lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5925 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, December 22, 2014 - 3:05 pm:    And another of the musicians I grew up with has passed. I suspect it's only going to keep happening more and more often. I've posted this here before, but I thought it appropriate to post it again.

I'll be spinning Mad dogs tonight. Graeme pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1371 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Tuesday, December 23, 2014 - 4:01 am:    ". . .

Cocker's appearance at Woodstock, and in the movie, helped make the festival a special event in music history; and the Mad Dogs album further impacted the music and the culture. Both were inspirational for me. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2125 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, December 24, 2014 - 8:21 am:    I've always liked Delta Lady. I had forgotten about this version of it and it was nice hearing it again.

Love that version and I haven't heard it in a very long time. Watching that has me exhausted. How spent must Cocker have been after a few sets?! Nobody worked harder for the music than he did. wfmandmusic Intermediate Member Username: wfmandmusic Post Number: 148 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2014 - 5:50 pm:    When I was young, my step father took me to the orpheum theater in Ann Arbor MI. to see the movie Mad Dogs. It left a lasting impression to this day. It was also my introduction to Leon Russell. I just spun the vinyl two weeks ago....bummer.
