March 27 & 28 1970, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Carl Radle, Chris Stainton, Bobby Keys, Jim Gordon & Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys & Jim Horn, Jim Price, Don Preston, Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear and a half dozen other backing vocalists were playing the Fillmore East. The recordings of those sets would get released in August on this double album.
Much of the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour was also filmed. Additional footage, much of it providing behind the scenes views of one of the most exhilarating and exhausting tours ever staged, is available in the DVD documenting the tour.
