Saw them twice at Malvern Winter Gardens in the 70s, first time with Wilko second time without....you don't appreciate what is special until its gone, Wilko made Feelgood special and he was the one we talked about going home.
@@leeinwis To that end, I've been playing Dr. Feelgood, Ducks Deluxe, and Brinsley Schwarz in my college classes leading up to "The Birth of Punk" and you can only get there through pub-rock! Amazing how much I absolutely HATED 95% of the popular music of the 70's, but LOVED so many little sub-genres than got NO attention or sales here in the good ol' benighted USA!
@@ailurophile17 There seems to be this weird nostalgia for 'punk', but frankly it was rubbish. The good pub rock bands certainly went back to basics but they could really play. Whereas punk, in the UK at least was more of a social movement and the bands at the grassroots level were mostly beginners who hardly even knew how to tune their instruments, let alone play them. I was there: I ran a PA hire and recording business in London in those days. Punk destroyed pub rock.
@@davidhiggen3029 Of course my point of view comes from a couple of dozen of 12" slabs of vinyl 3,000 miles from their home. I always thought that both genres offered more of an attitudinal challenge in their respective heydays against the prevailing zeitgeist of the gawdawful early and mid-70's "classic rock" (they for some unknown reason call anything that came out between 1969 and 1970 by that misnomer) and that's why I embraced both, each in its turn. Thankfully both "genres" offered a reaction against pompous pretense and oh-so-sensitive singer/songwriters. And then of course there are the transitional bands and figures? I mean do Eddie & the Hot Rods qualify as pub or punk, or maybe even power pop. Actually, all those genres are sorta after-the-fact and I never really thought about any of 'em being anything other than the kind of rock & roll I loved all my life, coming from Bo and Buddy and the Everly Bros. and the Brill Building and the Beatles, Byrds, Hollies, Searchers, and a time that remembered the "& Roll" that somehow got lost when just "Rock" took over in the era of 15 minute drum solos. From an American point of view, that little "Mods & Rockers" drama between the pubbies and punkies never registered at all since probably only diehard Flamin' Groovies fans like myself (all 500 of us) had even heard "Don't Mind Rockin' Tonite," or "Surrender to the Rhythm.." And good luck trying to find an Eggs Over Easy, or Bees Make Honey album just to see if what you read in CREEM or TROUSER PRESS was really true. I never suggest to my students that pub and punk had anything in common musically since the early punk I liked was to me pretty much straight ahead garage band music and if the Who, the Eyes, the Creation or the Kinks showed up in some young punk bands bag o' tricks, then so much the better. What I consider pub rock always has more of a Tex-Mex feel and maybe that whole thing comes EXCLUSIVELY from Bob Andrew's organ! Hey, I still consider Graham Parker's first two albums the last little taste of pub rock, unless you consider Rockpile...) . I'm still not sure where glam fits into my little evolutionary excursion, though. Getting ready to play some Starry Eyed & Laughing, TTFN!
@@ailurophile17 I think the term 'punk' has somewhat different connotations between US and UK? In the US I have the impression it was more of a fashion and art movement, whereas in the UK it was a social and political response to financial austerity etc. As I said, I was on the ground in London at the time and had a front seat as it played out. What happened was that initially music venues started booking punk bands rather than the older pub rock outfits because they drew in much bigger crowds. Unfortunately the UK punk movement had a large component of violence and destructive behaviour. So in response to this, after a while a lot of venues just closed down and stopped having live music at all. Overall, not a win for up-and-coming musicians...
I was avid whistle tester, had to be home for the OGWT, really pissed off my girlfriend, remembers this performance, absolutely brilliant. BBC really lead the way with this kind off program, what was so great you really learned what band could actually play. Brought many albums on the strength of a bands performance on this show. 😊
Honestly, every time I hear these original band performances I'm blown away by The Big Figure, he's doing all the heavy lifting while sitting quietly at the back, no theatricals, just total solidity and rhythm.
They really were a great band, very tight all working it together, Wilco with his great spectacular guitar, and lee on leads vocals with all that charisma and controlled aggression and of course out of this world Harmonica thanks for influencing me and all those great blues rock sounds !
yep. Controlled aggression is an excellent way to put it. He has a powerful presence, I love how menacing he can be when Wilco is doing something mad in front of him
Great live band!! The whole band could seriously PLAY, & in Lee Brilleaux, they had an amazing frontman!! Saw them about 15 times in the period leading up to around 1977.... They were tighter than a proverbial 'gnat's chuff', to boot... Wilko & Lee r.i.p.
I just love the first minute of this video. Wilkos head seagulling back and forth with his unique and magical playing, mixed with Lee Brilleauxs angry front man persona. Just legendary. RIP to both. ❤️ from a fellow Islander xxx SS8 xxxx
Aged fourteen, this group nailed me to the wall. A harmonica Lee gave me after a Cambridge gig went South when I left home at seventeen, also my 'Speed Thrills' badge. Shame. Though somewhere amongst the detritus of my life should remain their autographs, a poster and a programme. One of the GOATs.
Loved the 70's music, I'm so sorry that I don't remember this amazing talent. Probably heard it in the radio, but in 1975, I was 6 y.o.! But later in my preteens, went back back and listened to 60's and 70's music especially British rock and punk.
😂Rock and roll, invented in America, did not become amazing as it is today, until the Beatles (from England) appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. 😅
1975 and these guys were already dressing with sleeker clothes and shorter hair that was to come with the punk explosion. As a kid back then, I recall hating the long hair, beards and flairs, so these fellas would have been cool to me. I only heard about them years later though.
yup one of the greats i grew up just a few miles away from Canvey Island and saw them on their local turf The Paddocks ( got my picture in the NME on that one ) and also at the Kursal Ballroom in Southend - amazing times as a 19 year old 🤗
MAGNIFICENT A true live band. Look out for the TOTP performance of Lights Out, where Dr Feelgood were promised a live recorded track would be overlayed by a totally live vocal at the attended studio broadcast. Lee sung totally live on the night....then the BBC knowingly played out the previous days' recorded vocal instead 😮
I graduated high school in 1971 and absolutely HATED the music that was being played on US radio stations. "Classic rock," yeah right! Wotta misnomer. That forced me to search for music I liked and thankfully I kept finding bands and artists I loved from Big Star to the Flamin' Groovies to Brinsley Schwarz, Ducks Deluxe, Daddy Cool, Blue Ash, Starry Eyed & Laughing and then in 1975, DR. FEELGOOD! I guess there were probably 10 other Americans besides myself who bought an import copy of "Down By The Jetty" which just blew my socks off, and then later in the year, the amazing 'Malpractice" which stayed on my turntable until "Sneakin' Suspicion" came out and replaced it. Wilko was perhaps the most mesmerizing guitar player who ever lived and I'll take him over two dozen Claptons and Pages and all those wankers any day of the week! It was amazing to watch the end of the last episode of the first season of "Game of Thrones" and see the credits listing WILKO JOHNSON! I thought, "Nah, it can't be!" But it was and probably like everyone else who's posted here, I kept abreast of his medical condition and am eternally grateful for the years he still had left in which he had a chance to provide some tutorials and amazing tales from his amazing life. These guys had 3 great albums (and a live one too) in them which is more than you can say about dozens of bands in the so-called R&R HOF. Will Dr. Feelgood ever get in? Right after Graham Parker & the Rumour, Jackie DeShannon, the Honeycombs, and Artful Dodger. I never bothered listening to Dr. Feelgood after Wilko left (I mean, what was the point?), but 48 years later those four albums are still doing heavy duty rotation on my new and improved turntable!
You missed out by not listening to them after Wilko. They did some more great stuff. If you get time, listen to the 1978/79 live album "As it Happens". Gypie Mayo was a great replacement for Wilko.
@@albertjanvanhoek294 I've seen the current lineup several times. Not as good as the Johnson or Mayo lineups but still better than no Feelgood at all. At least they're keeping the music alive. Also, guitar, bass & drums all joined the band 11 years before Lee died so they've got history with him. Saw that 80s lineup lots of times & always enjoyed them.
The amazing guitarist Nils Lofgren paid tribute to Doctor Feelgood in his song "Cry Tough", from the album of the same name, released in early 1976. "Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habit" is a line from that song. Wonderful tribute.
Back in a day (70's-80's), this band made people in Finland thirsty... Live in Tavastia, which is a rock club in Helsinki (Capital of Finland, for you lot) was sold out every time these guys played. The audience was/were completely wasted, no doubt about it. Outscoring every other band when it comes to selling beer & other liquids. This group remains to be the best and most entertaining band of this genre. What a wonderful R&B band, indeed. R.I.P. for Brillo and Wilko.
Great memories of seeing them at Sheffield City Hall in the late 70s. Of course Wilko and Lee took centre stage but this was a true band. The whole was greater than the individuals producing a unique vibe. The greatest thing to come out of Canvey Island for sure
Just as Van Gogh failed to paint in the style of the Impressionists and was almost forced to develop out of that influence an expressive style of his own, Wilco Johnson could not exactly copy the guitar style of one of the most important guitarists in the UK, Mick Green (of “Johnny Kidd and the Pirates”), so that he developed out of that influence his own highly individual style (with influences as well from the percussive guitar style of Bo Diddley and possibly the "claw hammer" technique on a banjo). “Down by the Jetty” remains one of my all time favourite albums: black and white sleeve and MONO: what more does brillant music need …
I have seen this band through the original lineup and it's various mutations ever since. Provided a vital source of reality for a teenager bored to death by prog rock and pop pap and waiting for punk to happen. But Wilko certainly did it right.
😂My rock and roll life started in '58 when I heard Stagger Lee by the great Lloyd Price. Also Lonely Teardrops by Jackie Wilson around the same time. 😅
You always hear about Wilko, but Lee was a great frontman. Great voice, great presence. Died aged 41. Shockingly young.
Yeah, I love Lee Beilleaux, he was a great singer AND perfòrmer, totally unique!😂 He will be widely imitated but never duplicated.😅
Lucky to have seen them live, alas not with Wilko.
Saw them twice at Malvern Winter Gardens in the 70s, first time with Wilko second time without....you don't appreciate what is special until its gone, Wilko made Feelgood special and he was the one we talked about going home.
Lee was just as cool as Bon Scott.
i am so sorry i never saw them live !! i really like Lee !!
NO OTHER BAND were like these guys!😂
RIP Wilko Johnson, he did it right, fucking superstar
Not dead if we keep their energy alive !

Bloody hell they were good 👊🏻
Wilko is utterly mesmerising - I can't think of another guitar player with such an intense onstage presence.
Early Feelgood with Wilko were amazing live, I was so lucky to have seen them before he left.
me to at leicester de Montfort hall .Tone@@bobstirling6885
@@bobstirling6885absolutely true. I really liked his role as the beheader in Game Of Thrones too!
Lee. Amongst the greatest frontmen ever.
Wilko Johnson's playing style was as unique as a Rembrandt painting - just beautiful .
Just great musicians, they all look so young and handsome.
Superb hair all round.
Musicians generally had fantastic hair in the 70s.
People slag off the BBC , but they got it right sometimes . .. .Old Grey Whistletest . . . . .👍
They WERE brilliant.. :(
TOGWT was a must watch back in the day.
Bob Harris was and still is a legend, and the programme was the only place to watch good musicians live.

Whispering Bob had his socks blown off that night.
Let's be honest here... it doesn't get any better than this
Totally agree bro. Saw them at Leicester Poly brilliant. Most important rock band of 70s without these not much owt happens after..

Crazy how ahead of their time this sounds while also being very blues rock oriented.
Amazing musicians and entertainers. They gave 100% all the time.

These riffs remind me of early Ska - pre reggae with lots of rock and blues mixed in, very unique sound
Здорово 👍 рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Dr.Feelgood - Mr.Wilko!!!
I remember Lee’s white jacket from other videos it didn’t look so clean in them😂😂😂

“Down by the Jetty” remains one of my all time favourite albums: black and white sleeve and MONO: what more does brillant music need …
The tops.
Tight..
Years as a great pub band homed their skills and made them tight, similar to the Stranglers in their pathway to fame.
Big Figure - superb!
Avery underrated band
The SAS of rock!
All fire
Yep
punk before punk
I have seen this band through the original lineup and it's various mutations ever since. Provided a vital source of reality for a teenager bored to death by prog rock and pop pap and waiting for punk to happen. But Wilko certainly did it right.

Nah. They were just badly behaved sometimes…..no labels in those days
Brilliant band ,I’d say fuelling on speed
They all look like they rushed to the Old Grey Whistle test from their jobs. Total authenticity
Wonderfully hypnotic, the music wasn't bad either
Hard to believe that Lee was 23 here. He looked as if he'd lived several lifetime, with at least one of those in prison.
Hey kids. It’s a real band playing everything live.
