This video is a single from the "Out of the Deep Freeze" DVD.
The concert was originally filmed in 1972 as the Leon Live album tour and was supposed to be presented theatrically as a companion to the Joe Cocker "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" film as it was shot right after the MD&E tour and movie. This was intended to be Leon's movie because Leon did such a smashing good job for Joe. ..
