Tuesday, Apr 22, 2025 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’m betting the legislature’s only Vietnam War veteran Sen. Mark Walker will love this one. More importantly, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Bobby Keys and a cast of dozens of Mad Dogs and Englishmen just totally rock it out… I don’t care how much I gotta spend So much joy. Love it. Please keep your discussion Illinois-centric. Thanks.

Thank you for the only pics I hve seen of young Bobby Keys rocking out. He always added a lot to whomever he was backing up. It’s too bad that he over partied.

Not even in the HOF. Shame!

One of the great live performances (and performers) ever.

I cried when I first heard it. And today.
How great it is to have Rich in our weird world.

In addition to Keys you can briefly see Carl Radle on bass, another ill-fated musician of the era. Did not make it to 40 as I recall….
