“These were very special days that we were able to spend with Leon and the Mad Dogs,” shares Trucks. “There was a real sense of joy, magic and gratitude in the air from the moment everyone showed up at the first rehearsal and it just kept getting stronger, culminating in this incredible set. You could feel that this was one of those shows that you will be thinking about for the rest of your life. I feel very lucky to have been a part of this. What an honor to share the stage and music with Leon and all of those incredible musicians and people.”
“Having the opportunity to work with Leon Russell and the cast of Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a dream. I am still pinching myself over the entire experience,” adds Tedeschi. “The LOCKN’ Music Festival has done a tremendous job creating so many wonderful music collaborations for us. This was one for the ages. The audience was amazing and the performers and the music were all at the highest level. This is a memory I will always cherish.”
The historic, star-studded tribute concert took place at the LOCKN’ Festival 45 years after the original tour. That night, TTB’s 12-piece ensemble and Russell welcomed original Mad Dogs members, such as Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, and Chris Stainton, along with a diverse group of special guests including Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, and Dave Mason. The stage often swelled to over 20 musicians, echoing the original tour’s grand, communal spirit. The setlist included memorable performances of such hits as “Feelin’ Alright,” “The Weight,” “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window,” “Delta Lady,” “Cry Me a River” and “With A Little Help From My Friends.”
