- I guess you've never seen this clip, haven't you ?
From "Beau Fixe Sur Pithiviers", French TV, 14th August 1976 ...
Notice Lee's external jugular vein, and the diversified audience ...
(Full video with intro at: • DR. FEELGOOD "GOING BA... )
Anyone watching and listening in 2024? I'm here, and love it more than ever ❤
Yep
Greetings from the Philippines, Yep I’m here too. June 20/24 great tune & wild singer! Love it!
We will always listen to this
Siiiii 🙏🏿
Oh yes,I'm here.
I am the big figure the feelgoods drummer at the time,what a day i remember it betternow ,thank you
The big figure a legend to many, part of a legendary British band.
You were never less than immense John.
Hope you're still with us Big Figure, you did a real good job there! Wondering if this was some fete du village somewhere in France?
One of the tightest drummers in one of the tightest bands ever; hats off you you sir!
I saw dr Feelgood at Knebworth festival in the early 70s, I went to see Pink Floyd but were very impressed with Dr Feelgood.
This is one of the most rock and roll videos on RUclips. They don't give a shit who is the crowd, they just rock on like if they were in a dark, sweaty and cloudy pub, because that's what they do. Lee, Wilko, Sparko, Big Figure. What a band, what a song.
The best without a doubt.
Absolutely true. Rock stops when you care about audience.
Once again I watch this video and wonder how driving the music is, how cool they serve their show. I agree with you on all counts.
Becouse they were the BEST...
Wow....awesome
LEE COLLINSON......aka LEE BRILLEUX.....was a customer at BURTONS...in Southend on Sea.....and CHELMSFORD where i worked in 1988/89.....Lee bought shoes leather ties jackets...etc....regularly.....He was a polite friendly chatty super suave tall smart dude...folks.....and always chatted to us, the staff...in the shop doorway.....so he could have a quick cigarette......what a guy.....i am proud to have known him.....
as for the cigarettes......SADLY....his undoing........in 1994....
i think also, his hard inhaling and exhaling of breath..to play his Harmonica.. over time....in smoky clubs bars...and pubs...may have contributed to his sad demise....A fact......
What a kind and charming man all the same.....a top showbiz "worker".....with no ego either.....just good manners..
So many of these stars who we loved to see play live and bought their records paid a high price for being in the music business. An unhealthy lifestyle was almost part of the deal and you needed a strong constitution to get through it. Very glad their performances have been preserved on film.
I am thirteen years old of Japan.
I love their songs very much!
One of the greatest bands ever. No question.
Ben ive adored these fine bans men since their beginning ,, thats along time to be in love x
This is incredible. A great band at the height of its powers in a no frills, no pretence, no miming tour de force. It was a great time to be 16 and every time I hear the Feelgoods I am still 16
2024 still listening to one of the best rock bands ever.
Great example of why the British are so great at this stuff. We’re just awesome!! 🇬🇧
I loved this lineup! The very best! I saw them many times.
Only recently discovered the Feelgoods at age 65...! Just such pure rhythmic driving blues music. This is 100% purest G.O.L.D.
And here I am, also at 65, seeing this. I was lucky enough to see them in 1975 aged 16 at the Malvern Winter Gardens. After all these years It still remains one of my favourite gigs.
I'm also 65 and I've heard the name are the band probably cuz it was popularized by Motley Crue. They must have never came to the United States but I've been watching a lot of their videos now
I'm 76 and still listen to them for my regular and necessary injection of real music not today's rubbish - Brillo (sic) and Wilko, two complete and brilliant one offs, sadly, there'll never be the like of them or this band and their music again 😢
we need more bands like this instead of the shit we have now
Saw the Feelgoods back in the 70's at Birmingham Hippodrome supported by Squeeze, Jools Holland on keyboards. Saw them many times since, not quite the same without Lee and Wilko, but still a great R&B Band. Went to Leamington to see Wilko on his comeback tour, after his big cancer operation, supported by Joanne Shaw-Taylor, brilliant night, the guy was a legend. RIP Wilko and Lee.
These guys were just raw power. Britain's greatest ever R&B band.
@@grahamherbert3612 I'd have to put them equal first with Wilko's friend Mick Green's Pirates. 😎😁
R&B seems like it’s a lot of different things.
Why can’t you just call it damn good rock and roll ?
Priceless. I SO wish the whole film for the event would appear.
I was lucky enough to see Wilko just a few weeks before he left us.
Such a power, like everything the Feelgoods did. Much missed.
@DaveDave65 - I've also uploaded the full version with intro: ruclips.net/video/8_QibKon2G4/видео.html
That was fantastic , provincial town , mixed audience , same fantastic powerful performance I’m blown away , proud of the boys
Feelgood / Eddie & the Hot Rods. My introduction to proper music in 76 pre punk era. Forever grateful
The best pub rock band of all time!
R&B band
P & B band !! @@stuartmenziesfarrant
Saw them in my teens and now I'm 68. Seen countless bands over the years and became TM for Nazareth along the way. No band ever got me down the front and headbanging - except - 'The Feelgoods'!
Hello its was 14th August 1976 in Pithiviers France for a daily TV show called midi première. There was some sequences direct live of pop music and yes, I was here in front of my tv this D day, I bought immediately the tape of the live Stupifity and listened the tape until it die;-) With my group we have played Stupidity which it was an easy song to learn and reproduce for us. A lot of souvenirs but unfortunatly i never seen us on stage.
La séquence à été tournée en juillet 75, j'étais là, dans la cour de cette école. Mais je n'ai jamais vu l'émission, programmée en août 76..
Son titre était "Beau fixe sur Pithiviers" De nombreux autres artistes, français, participaient à cette émission de variétés
Dr Feelgood était un ovni dans ce programme.
Thanks for information.
They are unique. Lee, thank you for ever for calling in my radio show in Hagen/Germany from a telephone booth in the south of France until your money ran out. The best interview ever. Thanx
The best band I ever paid to go and see! Loved their energy and genuine love for the song they sang. There will never be another like them.
Totally agree 👍
Back in the day ..Best band to see live ! especially at the TT races on the Isle of Man ..always a great atmosphere ..
Almost wrong! Watch & Hear the Daddy Long Legs!
What a fantastic, underrated band. Something else!
I jumped on the bus aged 14 in 1975 after School to go see this awesome band at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax UK....and i'm still here today loving it, Sep '24
Must've watched this 20 times and still bloody good. Be great to have a blues band as good as this now.
Possibly the most under rated group of all time. Certainly the best... no question, no discussion needed, nuff said
john these guys are the ultimate in greatness with a little madness thrown in lol x
I love discovering old music, that I've never heard before. This band was badass! The more I listen to them, the more I want to hear.
If you get the chance go see Wilco Johnson. Recently seen him in Newcastle playing with Ian Durrys base player. Brilliant
'Old' music? Thanks for that :-) The first band I ever saw live. ... oh and the 2nd and third. Then I branched out a bit. :-)
I'm old, so when I hear something I've never heard before, that's not from this century, I get excited.
I was a teenager at that time but i never listened to Dr Feelgood, until now.
I worked in a pub in Leigh on Sea, back in the 70s. The Feelgoods played there. Always friendly. I had a drink with Wilko a couple of weeks ago. Great music, great guys. Lee was a sad loss but the band goes on from strength to strength.
These guys are all pure genius ,,What a band ,, this classic is pure utter joy ....long may they reign ,,,,,,
Brilliant clip, Very rare. Love this track. I met Wilko at a signing evening when OIL City Con came out...i took my Telecaster along and he signed it for me....well chuffed!! He lives just up the road from me...smashing bloke.
Seen these guys numerous times!....Feelgood factor 1000 every time!
Hello robbie ,many thanks for your enthusiastic remarks.Rock,rhythm and blues ran through our veins and when you have it in your heart all else stands aside and you have the energy under any circumstances to perform,like your life depended on it.I still play with the current Feelgoods on occasions and on the memorial nights on Canvey Island on Lee's memorial nights in early May,hope to see you there.My very best wishes Big Figure
Hello John,
what kind of hi-hat did you use back then (brand/model)?
Thanks
Hi John. I know this is a very old post but great to see you reached out here. I suppose I'm rediscovering my teenage years of the 70's & I think the Feelgoods were a bit too mature for my musical comprehension at the time, though "Milk & Alcohol" proved to be a very radio friendly single & caught my ear . It's great to see this footage being uploaded for future generations to see.
Thank you blokes for a great date; saw you April '76 in The Rathskellar at Hofstra U. on Long Island ; you opened for Papa John Creach. I was the chubby dude with the Greek fisherman cap who tied to play harp along w/the band, but was with an incredibly cute girl. Next day, ran out & bought "Malpractice" & returned the girl to her husband.
Hi Figure, from the day in 1975 that I saw the Feelgoods at Birmingham Town Hall, I was a fan for life. Went straight out and bought She Does It Right.
Liverpool Stadium
Dr. Feelgood always felt so Good! Thanks, Lee and Wilko.
If only we had bands like that today!!!
We do
Try Nine Below Zero
Amyl and The Sniffers
Deer feel goody
Come to Melbourne Australia, capital of the live music scene
Eddie & The Hot Rods, now there was a band.RIP Barry.
WHAT A FIND!
@davidstoddard6134 - Also uploaded full-intro version: ruclips.net/video/8_QibKon2G4/видео.html
Nobody does R&B like the mighty Feelgoods. The sound on this is fantastic
The GREATEST
Except maybe Mick Green / The Pirates.....he taught Wilko his trademark guitar style....
Dave together these guys can make all your dreams come true ,,lolx
Good sensible blokes, knew I wouldn't remember, dead right but I do remember the gig, vaguely.
Thanks for enjoying and your message, keep safe BF
Sensible blokes 😂😂
Damn right - I've never seen this clip before. What impresses, as well as the fantastic performance and musicianship, is the utter dedication they give to the performance despite the fact the audience are mostly "mums and toddlers". No compromise on what they doing despite the audience (non) reaction. Oh and BTW, and this is one of the best renditions of Going Back Home I've heard, thanks for sharing.
+James Dodger yep
What a listless audience - well thats the frogs for you, lol @@janeemkay7484
Sonja White ... Onya-Sonja ...
-those toddlers are now in their 50:s and i'm sure they remember this. Great band, awesome performance.
Dans la France profonde !
Hi sticoto 31 thanks for your interest.The playground video was a french tv company's idea ,actually not all of it was broadcast.We had an American car driving down the high st. to the school etc but it was fun.When you saw us at Mont de Marsan without Wilko this must have been when Gypie had just joined the band.Incidentally EMI are releasing a dvd and cd including all out takes and the kind of stuff you might be interested in,they were indeed crazy days Thanks The Figure
what a performance Lee Brilleaux looks like he's singing to 1000 people
I've only discovered Dr Feelgood this last week & Ive listened to nothing else...
like a lot of people I came to it via Wilco beating cancer - & wondered how the hell I missed out on this incredible band
I drove to frejus the same year! would have loved to have seen this always caught them when they came to Manchester! great band!
Very cool...can't say enough about Dr Feelgood ! I've been a fan since '76 or so...I still listen to their albums regularly ...always exciting !!
I saw the Feelgoods at Kensington Olympia I went to see the New York Dolls at a sort of indoor mini-festival but they never showed up. The opening act were the then unknown Feelgoods, I'd never seen anything like them before and was mesmerised. Two tears later they were about the most popular band in the country and had a Number One album with "Stupidity".
This is why they are still the most seen group of all time. Playing for 50 kids like the were playing for 50,000. Never an open-air without them.
How can be forgotten this iconic pub-rock band? It's impossible!
Love this sooooo much. Everything about it, but maybe especially the choreography 👍🏼👍🏼😎
GREAT "STREET PERFORMANCE"...🤘🏻❤️
First saw them in the Kensington pub off Holland Park Road. Might have been 1973. Pub Rock was happening all over London. Just jump on a bus to anywhere and have a great night seeing up and coming bands rocking their socks off to for free to the public. Bees make Honey, Clancy, sorry brain fog has kicked in. Doctor Feelgood. These boys were something else. I thought at first Wilco was a bit mad, his stareing eyes and floating leg moves were brilliant. I reckon Michael Jackson saw him and picked up those dance moves years later. Nobody played guitar like Wilco. Wizard ! Thanks pit2ryan3 for the memory.
This is the absolute best rock video on YT. #1 hands down.
I don’t think that crowd appreciated what a treat they were getting. I bet they’re all saying today, “I was there”.
Plain,straight honest and just the best. R.I.P. Lee.
THE BEST BAND i see in my life!!!!!! Salutes from SAN JUSTO ARGENTINA!!!!!! DR. FEELGOOD RULES!!!! AGUANTE DR. FEELGOOD CARAJO!!!!!!!
brilliant performance, such a great band
The legacy gets better and better all the time as music on offer gets blander. I have my sixteen year old son who has been drumming a few years now listening to the band and he loves the music.
Lee and Wilko at their manic best.
BRILLIANT
These guys were utter manic ,,,,what a duo ,,,,genius beyond words lol x
What a great clip on RUclips ! I just love the contrast between the raw energy of the band and the staid French mums and dads with their kids; I wonder what they made of stuff like this - with no accordions or Edith Piafs to sing along to !
A wonderful piece of rock archive - thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting this. I didn’t realize the version Roger Daltrey did with Wilko was a cover.
What a great band ! I discovered them 40 years later!
love the way they give it everything every time!
Dr feelgood what a great band adrlan56
Probably amphetamines. still, giants have passed from amongst us
brill, saw feelgood at the double diamond club in cardiff in 85, fecking brilliant show, one of my fave bands, with wilko amazing.... rip lee you made me take up the blues :-)
The Feelgoods were the first live act I ever saw (Newcastle city hall C1978) and I think only Miles Davis's live show (Hammersmith Odeon 1982) was subsequently able to better that experience. LOL it was The Figure that first inspired me to play drums....Its fair to say he isnt the worlds most flashiest most technical drummer, but then he doesnt need to be. First and foremost he is a truly great musician, with a great feel for the structure and feel of any given song and what the drum part needs (or more precisely DOESNT need..)
+Goldsmithexile1960 I agree, Figure is a great drummer, and has always been under-rated. What he does on the solos on She Does It Right is a good example, turning to the tom-toms when it gets to the 'top' bit of the solo, which locks in tight with the bass strumming Sparko is doing - classy stuff, adding just that bit extra to the song. I don't think I've heard any of Wilko's subsequent drummers do that.
Must have been 75 Colin, Wilko left the band in 77!
@@Fogon59 Yup ... Wilko formed Wilko's Solid Senders (who I saw) in 1978 ... in fact our band were on the same news sheet for that week's performers at the university union.
OMG this is fantastic. What a band.
I don't know if it has been mentioned before : according to a local newspaper, this concert was filmed in June 1975, that's why the atmosphere is more that of the end of school year, rather than deep in summer (which was particularly hot in 1976, by the way). But the program was broadcast more than a year later, for some reason.
IABF1991 - Yes, in fact (as reported in the description) 14th August 1976 refers to the broadcast date... Thanks for pointing that out though... Cheers!
Always good to see the original line up Lee etc and Wilko with hair.
I love to watch this occasionally. Too young to have seen them live. The recording equipment can’t have been up to much but the energy just pours out , amazing.
I was nine years old in 76 couldn’t agree with you more😊
I think the public was not aware that it was a great rock'n'roll band! I would have loved to be there!
The original line up in fine form - love 'em
Malcolm What a fantastic band these fab guys are ,,,,together they are the ultimate sound of genius beings lol x
Hallucinant ! le programme scolaire de l'époque était... heu, différent !
Just watched the Dr.Feelgood documentry well worth a watch.
Happy days! What a great clip. Saw Feelgood around this time, perhaps a year earlier, following appearance on Old Grey Whistle Test. That was at De Montfort Hall Leicester. The classic line up.
I used to watch these guys at the Brentwood teacher’s training college whenever they played there in the mid 70s. What a great band live.
thanks so much for uploading this, takes me back to their appearance at the Saddleworth Arts festival all those years ago, Lee Brilleaux was the best frontman ever
great news Wilko! keep on rocking! cheated the reaper! God bless!
gipsy mayo better
@mark connolly. God bless??? Better thank the doctor and nurses.
@MichaelKingsfordGray every time you hear thunder it is TOR riding the sky with his wagon pulled by his black rams battling the giants with the hammer mjoelner in aasgaard that's where the sound of thunder derives from. So there, TOR is real.
@MichaelKingsfordGray younger than yesterday

Ik heb alle LP's 45 jaar lang bewaard ze zijn allemaal goud waard! Saved all albums for 45 years and they are still worth gold! still makes me FEELGOOD!
The Best!! Live Legends!!
Ritchie. If you're out there man, my love of this band is down to you.
what a great piece of footage
They deserved to be much bigger than they were. Such talent 👏
Cheers Wilko say hello to Lee for me. 😔
OMG incredible. Best Feelgood clip ive ever seen. Odd clip, but packs a punch.
The same year as I saw them. So mesmerising and dynamic on stage. Seen hundreds of bands since, but these guys were special.
Greatest English band of the mid seventies...Listen to the 1974 album down by the jetty...you will not be disappointed 🎸🎸🎸
Of course, although Down By The Jetty is actually from 1975...
When people say that the 1970s was a miserable decade, I'll just point them to this and say "When I get my time machine finished, I'll take you back to the summer of '76. You won't be saying that then!"
Brilliant! I got married on 14th August 1976 while this was happening!!
Geoff Richards n
My condolences. 😋
How is that wife of yours doing, Geoff?
Fantastic show 11/10🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍
Many thanks for your comment mlleMaudD it was an interesting gig but sounds good,great memories thanks again big Figure
This is the Dr. Feelgood I know and love... Thanks, Mr. Figure. Subscribed!
THIS MEN...REALLY FEEL THE BLUES IN YOUR SOUL.....WILKO IS A BIUTIFUL CRAZY MEN....
I have seen the Feelgoods before the Punk explosion and they knocked my head off.
Great band and unfairly overlooking ❤😅😅
They make me feel good !!!!
Seen them many times, great band.Need something like them now.
Una gran banda en estado puro. Larga vida a los auténticos Feelgood. R.I.P . Wilko / Lee.
Amazing bunch of guys !!!!!
Jesuz thats some great harmonica....wow.
I saw Dr Feelgood the same year as this video at Leicester De Montford Hall. One of the very best gigs I ever went to, just full-on energy from start to finish. Only Motorhead at their peak came close...
One of the best gigs I ever went to was at De montford Hall too, The Alarm back in 87 I think 👍
kickass band! they got some raw rock'n'roll energy which is impossible to find nowadays.
Nothing better ever came out of Essex👏🏻
Such a great, great band - much love from a sunny part of Wales - rave on Wilko!
"Oh Yeah" to all 3 comments!
What a band, every performance they live it and give their all into the songs, never seen a band live that vibrates through your body like the mighty Feelgoods.
No matter what i think, i will never be this fuckin' cool. Everything about this is massive.
Absolutely timeless.
Fantastic performance, inspirational.
