  • Classic stuff!

    Check out gypiemalone channel for tribute to these guys.

  • They were actually a pub band. Despite getting big, they STILL played small gigs, in pubs.

  • pub rock ..........you can suck the back of my ball bag you cunt

    

  • Yeah ! Dr Feelgood was a really great guy !!!

  • You wouldn't want to meet Figure on a bad day would you!

  • How can You go back to lame ass radio shit after being exposed to THIS???

    I wish I coulda seen Dr.Feelgood and The MC5 together on the same bill.

    Kids - this is THE REAL SHIT.

  • Oh man, I remember me and my brothers always snuck downstairs to watch OGWT, we LOVED Wilko and Dr Feelgood. Thanks for bringing back the memories with this...

  • That's some highly caffeinated R&B - these boys must have polished off about 5 cups of Nescafe each (with Wilko doubling that). Being a Yank, I'm not overly familiar with Pub bands, but I'm growing to appreciate their style thanks to YouTube and all you fans posting these videos out there. That "Roxette" tune is s a real tough one to get out of your mind!

  • they are not a pub band you cunt,, they are a class act

  • "In some ways, the British phenomenon of Pub Rock in the early '70s wasn't much more than roots rock, since it basically consisted of bar bands that played rock & roll, country-rock, and the blues...If pub rock is anything, it is loose and unpretentious -- these were guys that played music for the hell of it. The members of the major pub rock bands -- Brinsley Schwarz, Ducks Deluxe, Bees Make Honey, Ace, Dr. Feelgood..." - Allmusic.com

    If cunts could fly, you'd be wing commander.

  • I think Lee and Wilko are EASILY the equal of John and Paul.

    And I think The Feelgoods would BODYSLAM The Rolling Stones.

    Word.

  • Yep - Wilko was a pretty good Mick Green clone back then.

  • @ivancarling I disagree. Although he managed to sound a BIT like Mick, by his own admission his attempt to copy his style failed and he ended up with his own style. Mick picked strings with his his fingers a lot whereas Wilko basically strums. Wilko was more manic in his stage style too. I saw them on stage together at Dingwalls once...Wilko is superb, but Mick was just the absolute best.

  • Great - thanks for posting this. Love Wilko's playing ... some Guitarists knock it, but just try playing as tight as he does without losing the feeling.

  • Show,, Show,, Show,, thanks Lee,,, thanks Band..I want to cry ... that time can never come back, God be with Lee... Marcos ( The Hobbies Band ) BRAZIL THANKS WILKO...

  • feelgood38.... thank you for posting this. I saw this on OGWT. Iw as a Feelgood nut and I'm so stoked that Oil city Confidential is available on DVD. Even if you didn't make the credits, you get massive cred and respect from me and all Dr feelgood fans forever. Thank you so much, mate. Outstanding.

  • 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!

  • @vinylosaur wish i could get there. I live in New Zealand now, but I will be there in spirit. Must get the DVD. I still love these guys. Consummate musicains.

  • Why oh why oh why did they sack Wilko?.....One of the most original and talented guitarists ever.

  • This band is just amazing. Really rockin'. They sound like TheHives but they came first so I guess The Hives sound like DR Feelgood haha. Great band.

  • razor sharp - amazing 

  • oh man...get the razors out...awesome!

  • I can't believe you apologised for the quality. The quality is top notch pal !! Thanks so much for posting !

  • Bad ass!!!

    thanx for posting this :)

  • Wonder where the guitar riff for "im bored" came from :) sounds like the riff at the start of this video, iggys is still cool though, just not as cool as brilleaux :)

  • Shit, this is good! Its never gonna be as good as seeing the feelgood live - I saw them in Southam in Warwickshire a couple of years back goddam it was awesome get them touring or presenting a guitar blues and rock show! - this is so cool and cutting like The Hives, Vines et al.. but when you see them live its crowd-management blues ahoy.. just awesome...

  • great man, love theese guys , they realy did understand that you had to be interesting and strange on stage ,,

  • If there's something that I like...it's Dr. Feelgood. Thanks for posting this video. It's priceless. Saw Oil City Confidential and thought it was excellent.

  • My favorite band, also. When Wilko left the heart was torn out of it for me. Lee was brilliant/Wilko is briliant, but together they were without equal. I have a question: there is a clip in Oil City Confidential (from the rock festival Au Theatre Antique D'Orange 75) where Wilko is playing, I'm a man...does anyone know if the whole 'Feelgood' set was recorded, and if it is available? Would be great to have.

  • Oil City Confidential was brilliant - Wilko was brilliant (what a great bloke) - i see him a couple of years

    back at the Blackheath Halls - am off to see Dr Feelgood at the same place in a couple of weeks - i know its a different line up but Steve Walwyn is great - Old father time keeps tickin` but the worlds a better place with the feelgoods whatever the line up.

  • 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.

  • @feelgood38

    A fantasic rockumentary :-)

    Re-kindled my love of the boys from Canvey Island as I 've wandered off on other musical journeys..

    Bummer when that happens with credits.

    Take pride in your contribution, fantastic film

    G :-)

  • @feelgood38 ty  mate for putting it on love this band

  • @feelgood38

    Utterly brilliant set here from our very best rock show.

    I asked the BBC why they don't repeat all the OGWT shows from the golden years of the 70s, but they just said copyright restrictions etc..

    I think they are afraid the standard of music has dropped over the past couple of decades, and if the youth of today actually see class rock bands they would drift towards it.

    Very few of the artists that appear on Jools Holland's show would have made it on the OGWT..not enough talent!

  • These are my new favourite band. What's the first song called?

  • The song is Keep it Out Of sight.

  • Saw them at the Pavilion, Hemel Hempstead in 75. Fantastic. Wilko was amazing.

  • Magic

  • just the way Lee introduces 'She Does It Right' fuck me he was one cool dude. i'm thinking of giving up on the rest of my music collection. like mtopper66 says, this stuff is REAL

  • @ThisIsBlake You are so right....I saw the documentary about this band last Friday on tv...I just thought, why listen to anyone else ?

  • ilove this band i wish i had seen them but i spent my money seeing assholes like gary the twat moore who treats is fans like shit saw him last year he was piss up swearing at fans playing to a backing tape gary moore is the biggest twat in music

  • thanks for raiding the loft folks-priceless! lfj

  • I LOVE Dr Feelgood..they make me want to have sex !

  • wilko is the king of R'n'B telecaster guitar!

  • Comment removed

  • I think the punks liked them coz they were unpretentious and a bit odd ball - nutty - different

  • So intense, just sweaty balls-to-the-wall brilliance. And *real* punk rock, not all the gratuitous shock tactics of a few years later--this is no-nonsense, from the gut, REAL. The real deal. They had what made any classic band brilliant, regardless of musical genre, from The Stones to Zeppelin to Jane's Addiction to Radiohead. White-hot, but completely unknown here in the US.

  • Lee - one of the best frontmen in rock and roll and fucking ace harmonica player

  • Pure rock 'n' roll gold. The Feelgoods are finally getting their due with the release of the film and wider exposure in the media -about time. Hail Dr. Feelgood!!

  • Fucking Brilliant!

  • LUV THIS COOOOOOOOLLLLLL

  • a blueprint

  • get the first album down by the jetty - its in mono for f***s sake - play loud and enjoy!

  • What is the name of a first song ?

  • For me that is the ultimate music. No contest. I adore the sound, the attitude - everything. Cheers for digging this up. Don't know where else you can get "She Does It Right" from TOGWT. This is the only place I've seen it. Ta!

  • I've been listening and watching The Feelgoods for all these years and Wilko is STILL the only guitarist who makes me shout "How the fuck does he DO that??!!"

    Thanks for posting!

  • There is one other-Mick Green, who influenced Wilco

  • If you get a chance check out the film City Oil Confidential.

    Has anyone heard how Lew Lewis is doing in the old days he was Lee best mate (at least thats what they told me) I know Wilko was sort of keeping an eye on him but he seems to have disappeared

  • I am glad to see that Wilko is still going strong just listened to the Back in the Day EP and its great

  • Top class !! This is the best Feelgood line up...look at Wilcko go !!!

  • This is the killer music..i miss them and they sound!

  • check out the Feelgoods film that is being shown at the London Film Featival on Friday

    No need to miss the sound try BAck in the Day EP by Wilko and his mate Steve Hooker

  • I think I`m on another planet when I listen to this ... 100 %

  • Most of the time we were....

  • a a a a nphetamine!!!

  • This thing is bitchin'!

  • Wilko = Wow!! ...and the rest of the band are sh*t hot

  • for mine, the closest English R&B guitarist is Keith Richards ...maybe equal, but in the same league

  • what an effin set,,,,,unbelievable..Lee ..Wilko kill.......

  • This kills!!!

    Thanks so much.

  • rock me not seen this for years blow my socks off

  • wilko wilko wilko !

  • thanks for this gem!! never seen this version of "keep it out of sight".

    i was at a Lee memorial gig a while ago on Canvey. Big Figure & Sparko got up & played with current guitarist & singer & suddenly it sounded like the old Feelgood again - raw, beefy, full, aggressive, brilliant.... just a cryin shame Lee is gone RIP.

  • They are legends!

  • Lee's the man.

  • It's the big figure on the drums!!!!!! fig and sparko were the best partnership ever.

  • The whole group is a rhythm section. Even Lee! That's why they sound so cool today.

  • Wilko's the man!

  • A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E...overload....­..

  • cchavez1 - I have all the early studio albums but I honestly think Stupidity (their live album) beats them all. Loads more energy and atmosphere and the sound quality is excellent.

  • thanx i'll start with that then!

  • Thanks for uploading, great stuff!

  • anybody know if thier studio stuff sounds as good as this?

  • yep, sure does. check out Down By The Jetty.

  • i wonder if The Hives ever listened to these guys?

    would'nt be surprised...

  • The latest incarnation of the band just don't seem to cut the mustard.

  • Not as good as the original line-up, but you gotta admit they put on a good show.

  • brill,lee, and the boys casting spells on you ,

  • It is the Nick Lowe song which he wrote for them. His cut is good, theirs is superb. Nick wrote it with them in mind, as a songwriter for hire. I think it fits the bill. It is just such a tough sounding song.

  • The first song is "Keep It Out Of Sight", which is from their first album "Down By The Jetty". I've never heard Nick Lowe's version of the song, but on Dr. Feelgood's website the songwriting credit goes to Wilko Johnson. Either way, I think it would have been a big hit in the U.S. if Stevie Ray Vaughn had covered it.

  • What's the first song? Not heard that one before.

  • bands like this is how we survived disco in the 70's

  • they were a exelent band and yh they do beat all the bands these days. u get the ocasional good band today but these guys are brilliant.

  • Outstanding. It shows that the Feelgoods had it all: songs, chops and insanely compelling showmanship. They'd be superstars today. Would cut 99.9% of today's acts to shreds.

  • god, wilko is sexy

  • I'm new to the band...Fantastic! Don't worry about the visuals- it's the music-wow!

  • Comment removed

  • get back to dribbling over your Atomic Kitten videos!

  • Atomic Kitten...???

    I don't even have a clue what that is... but you seems to know.

  • I love Wilko's and John B Sparks advanced move routine. Stunningly good!

  • Great to see this again. I saw this line up twice in 75 - I was only 13 at the time. Wilko is still god.

  • Brilliant - they don't make 'em like this anymore.

  • This clip of keep it outta sight is a real find. It is a Nick Lowe song to order. "Make us something hard" was probably the request, drug dealing was the reply. Lowe has mentioned how their version made his demo seem very pale. Just a great osong and a great version in my view. In case you don't know Lowe was once their road manager.

  • FANTASTIC!!

  • A typical, edgy performance by Lee Brilleaux and Wilko machine-gunning away.

    Excellent !

    looking forward to seeing Wilko perform at the Bulldog Bash this weekend

  • saw wilko at bulldog bash ,highlight of the show.

  • i'm 64 (in australia)and i never heard the doc until now--dig it---thanks for all this---love it.

  • Awesome band!

  • Wow, complete one! Thx for posting this.

  • Wilko is the absolute bollocks.Superb

  • no frills, straight up, the best bar none

  • Everything you have listed is easy to find in most record shops or on line. how about buying the bands music if you love it so much Jimmy? That way maybe the guys that made the sound you "love" so much might see a few quid.

    Do you work for nothing?

    I'm sure Wilko and co. love having "fans" like you parisites.

  • To Jimmy 101 sign up to Soulseek, I managed to download all of the albums with Wilco

  • Anyone have Dr.Feelgood Mp3 albums with Wilko Johnson? I am looking for albums Down by the Jetty,Sneakin' Suspicion,Stupidity,Be Seeing You. I can´t find this albums, grrr....I love this music!

  • And what´s name of the first song? Thx

    "And what´s name of the first song?"

    - You can easily find all those albums on various torrent sites. As for the name of the first song in this clip, it's "Keep it out of sight".

  • Thx, I found it:)

  • "Keep It Out Of Sight" :)

  • Be Seeing You is with Gypie Mayo. Hard stuff, anyway. Buy it!

  • Whoever posted this video-

    Thank-you. I haven't seen the full footage since the night it was first aired, and it changed my life then, for better or worse. This band opened my eyes and ears to real music.

  • What a guitar player!!! Listen to it-- bass, drums and how many guitars? Yup, just Wilko...

    Thanks for the post.

  • No posts from anyone expecting poodlehair-rock illiterates Motley Crue? Lee is in fantastic voice on these songs, great to see this rare stuff around again!

  • One of the real best guitars all the time, i love Wilko, please, upload Dr Feelgood`s song in Youtube, thank you.

  • great rock n roll

  • Yes! Oh yes! Thanks for doing my request, cheers.
