  • i just like d it

  • I like it very much... but I don not find the letter of this song... Can anybody tell my how...??

  • The Feelgoods at their best who better?

  • Mitici,soprattutto Wilko con la sua gestualita' unica.Oil City Confidential miglior documentario internazionale al Torino film festival (Italy)

    Legendary, especially Wilko gestures.Oil City Confidential best international documentary at Torino film festival in Turin (Italy)

  • If you can get to Bath, UK on 16 November, the Bath Film Festival are screening OIL CITY CONFIDENTIAL, Julien Temple's terrific documentary about Dr Feelgood, followed by a live performance by The Wilko Johnson Band. Happening at Komedia in Bath. Unmissable!

  • I saw 'Oil City Confidential' on BBC4 a couple of weeks back and I thought it was probably the best doc on a band I've ever seen, even surpassing 'The Filth & The Fury'; made me want to go out and buy the albums. I actually know Wilko's cousin; she's got the same manic eyes and whenever I'm around her, there's always that feeling that something crazy could happen any second! Must run in the family!

  • remembering naughty rhythms tour with kokomo and red hot chilli peppers in cheltenham town hall - not sure what year - best gig ever

  • Wilko was at the Oysterfleet a couple of weeks ago signing copys of Oil city conf. I took my Telecaster down there and he signed it for me! Hes a real nice down to earth bloke. Top man!

  • Lee reminds me of a young Paul Weller with his guitar & short haircut - punk owes so much to the Feelgoods which has not yet been acknowledged

  • This is fab. Thanks for posting. I saw a little extract of Oil City Confidential and am looking forward to checking out the whole thing.

  • this is why i love my dad, i wouldn't have discovered so much amazing music without him

  • @feelgood38, I watched oil city confidential it was superb, but it ended too early for me i could have watched it for hours, I always loved dr feelgood,as do my sons, there all at uni now spreading the good word about the best band ever !

  • Thanks for all the comments regarding this video. Hope you have all seen Oil City Confidential, if not i believe it is on BBCi Player till May 2nd. Out on DVD on June 14th It really is a great film. I had a brief bit of input into the film but didnt get the onscreen credit i was promised. Maybe I will on the DVD. Anyway with a little bit of luck, time and the wind blowing in the right direction, something new will be coming to this channel soon.

  • I can't understand how i missed this group when I was 25 years old in 1975. Just seen a documentry of the group, |'m now looking for their CD's. simply fantastic.

  • im with you there!!! they are astonishingly brilliant!!! im trying to find all their albums too!!!

  • On TV tonight BBC 4 9 pm and other times during the weekend...Oil City Confidential...The Story Of Dr Feelgood.

  • I always loved the way Wilco moves around the stage.

  • remember this from november'75,loved it then,love it still,a wee treat of a song.

  • im a 18 year old who only found out bout these guys yesterday and i love dem!!!!!

  • @tato121 seeing them play she does it right on disco 45 in 75 was amazing .... nothing else like em and they played live no miming shit. .. glad I was 18 then and not now to be honest

  • Saw them in the Nag's Head, High Wycombe, in 76 or 77. Thought the same then as I think now - give me some real blues

  • this fucking rocks

  • Saw them when I was 15 at Clarences in Halifax. They did it the hard way and played all the shit clubs to get ahead. I now live in Greece and the young people here are now getting into them. How weird is that!

  • Being a teenager in mid 1970's and more than 500 miles from Southend I never really had an opportunity to see the Feelgoods until I went to the Reading Rock Festival in 1975. It's fair to say that they were the stand-out band on the first day and I've been a fan ever since.

  • 101ERS!!

  • The BEST pubrock band ever bar non. Ive seen them many times, but not since Lee died, I dont think it would be the same. The last time I saw them was at Brighton Top Rank Suite in 1990, I chatted to Lee at a small side bar before the show, he was drinking a double orange juice and gave me pat on the back as he left, great guy, thats the last time I saw him. I was passing Canvey Island a couple of years ago; I had to show my son the towers burning at the...late afternoon unfortunately.

  • You are right the original line up were the best R&B combo ever to come out of England. Wilko is still doing some good stuff and "Back in the Day" with his old mate Steve Hooker really strikes a chord with those of us that remember the 70's and that great Southend "Pub Rock" sound

  • I saw them at Reading's Top Rank in the 70's. Absolutely superb.

  • Este sábado en el Festival de Blues de Cazorla. Para no perdérselo.

  • what a band what a sound..wilko..lee,,wow

  • Wilko is still great and touring..now looks really manic with the shaved head. Yeah 15 years since Lee died..I bought him a drink once at The Grand in Leigh-on-Sea..always a gruff gent. Feelgoods still touring and a great band. Best thing ever came out of Canvey Island.

  • @fatanky Surely the best thing out of Canvey is the A13. ;0)

  • They were in that strange era between wank rock and punk rock. I adored this band. Still miss Lee.

  • It was called pub rock and Dave Edmunds was right there , along with The Flamin' Groovies in the states. It was us versus them; unfortunately there were a hell of a lot more of them.

  • seen them at the reading festival on the friday nite 1975

  • I was there also, but don't remember them at all. Eddie and the Hot Rods were there also if I recall. Weren't YES crap on the Saturday?

  • pure!"SMO'KIN" fuckin awesome!

  • My goodness but how handsome was Lee Brilleaux.

  • Lee also used a red Gibson SG, great accompanyment

  • R n B on Top of the Pops!!! Now THAT was something else. Great stuff, guys, miss you Lee -- this April marks the 15th anniversary of his death -- RIP, my friend...

  • Terrific live band. saw them in Newcastle in the mid to late 70's. This is my favourite single of theirs. As a DJ played this a lot to student audiences - loved it!

  • yes, I agree, I saw them too back in the 70's with Wilko.

    Pure Rock!!!!

  • I must agree with MariaCultrock1. I am very old now ! But I saw : "The Who" a couple of times e.g. the Isle of Wight, (absolutely stunning) and The Stones in 66 and 68 and 82; but the most exciting band I ever saw was the "Feelgoods". No nonesense, no pretension, all-out R & B, faultless.

    D.C.

  • Lee Brilleaux played slide guitar live on a few other tracks over the years. Rolling And Tumbling, Riding On The L&N, Hit Git And Split, Dust My Broom & Sneakin Suspicion.

  • perkele että Wilko tykittää.....

  • Comment removed

  • I think they have more of a following now than they did in the 70's

  • THEY RULED THE LIVE MUSIC SCENE;MUSIC PRESS FR'72-'76,PACKED SHOWS,THEIR 1ST ALBUM WENT INTO THE CHARTS @27; THEIR 2ND @17 & 3RD WAS STRAIGHT TO 1 WITH A BULLET. I DIDN'T SEE "THE WHO" DURING THE GREAT'64-'69 BUT FRIENDS WHO DID TELL ME THAT THE FEELGOODS HAD THE BEST LIVE SHOW EVER AFTER "THE WHO". THE PROBLEM WAS WILKO DID NOT WANT TO MOVE ON Fr '64 & THE REST DID. IT WAS LEE'S BAND;7 YEARS YOUNGER THAN WILKO; NOW LEE IMPRESSES ME MOST BEING THAT CONFIDENT,SMART;SUCH A UNDERATED HARP PLAYER

  • That's an outstanding video clip - I've never seen Lee Brilleaux play guitar before !

    I'm looking forward to seeing Wilko at the Bulldog Bash this weekend.

  • "we're all in the gutter,some of us are looking at the stars"

    top song top band

  • I forgot that Lee played slide. But then, I saw them like 32 years ago.

  • Didn't know Lee played guitar - very nice post - cheers

  • Lee always played the slide on 'Back In The Night'. I never saw him play guitar on anything else though and I must have seen them 30 odd times. :o)

  • I am confused, who is the singer? Wilko or Brilleaux?

  • WILKO CAN'T SING

  • nooooo that cannae be them on TOTP surely did they really sell out to that???

  • Genius. Saw Wilko last year. Actually shook his hand after and got his autograph. Best gig I've seen for 10 years. Jawdropping.

  • Great stuff indeed. Hopefully our friend feelgood38 will upload She Does It Right & Keep It Out Of Sight from the OGWT 1975, which no one on Youtube has it (only Roxette from that one is circulating).

  • P.S. thanks!!!

  • Amazing video - thanks for posting!

  • killer!!!!!!

  • stupendous awesome really top song from ace band saw them live in 75

    lifechanging how i miss em

  • Great to see Brilleaux on slide. A corker this. Thanks for posting.

  • Hi and thanks for your PM, but did you get my reply? I see from my sentbox that you've opened my P.S. post, but not the first, lengthy one, a reply to your nice PM... stupid youtube PM system again... so I thought this is the best way to check it - you may delete this post after you read it, of course. Cheers.

  • way cool, another rare vid of the original line up, thanks for sharing... is the OGWT '75 version of "She does it right" (short clip can be seen in that Wilko's lesson for the BBC youtube vid) circulating?
