Joe Cocker Autographed Tour Book • Mad Dogs & Englishmen Memory Book by Linda Wolf, chronicling Joe Cocker’s 1970 tour.
Signed by tour members including Rita Coolidge and Leon Russell (others possibly present).
• Includes two VIP Lockn’ Festival 2015 tickets, commemorating the 45th anniversary of the original tour.
• Rare limited-production edition, combining photographic and musical significance.
The Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour was a landmark 1970 collaboration between Joe Cocker and Leon Russell, blending gospel, blues, and rock in a now-legendary lineup. The Linda Wolf memory book captures behind-the-scenes life and performances from the tour, later becoming a collectible artifact of 1970s counterculture and music history. Signed examples are scarce, particularly those including both Russell and Coolidge. What Determines Value
• Presence and condition of original autographs (Cocker, Russell, Coolidge).
• Absence of authentication, which moderately limits market strength. • Inclusion of event memorabilia connecting to later tour commemorations.
• Excellent visual presentation and collectible crossover appeal in rock photography and music memorabilia. Notes: Without a COA or third-party verification (e.g., PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett), the valuation remains conservative. Authentication could raise FMV into the $1,200–$1,500 range and insurance proportionally higher.
64 pages, softbound. Over 150 never published before historic and iconic photographs and intimate quotes from members of the Tour. “Linda Wolf's photographs wondrously captured the zeitgeist of Joe Cocker, Mad Dog's & Englishmen. She captured a pivotal time and space of one of the most influential rock and roll singers and bands of all time. It's an extraordinary insiders perspective. ” — --Doyle Bramhall II
“Linda Wolf looks in places the rest of us miss. Her work is like the spaces between the letters, between the words, that give a sentence its meaning. The photos she took of this historic tour in 1970 makes me long for a rawness and spontaneity that seems missing from the overly commoditized music industry of today. ” — Peter Himmelman, Big Muse Media; Renaissance man
