Dr.Feelgood-Boom,Boom

[davidosler]

Never heard the Feelgoods bluesier than this!

[68blues]

If i had been at this gig, i would have headed for the nearest table, cleared it and danced on the bastard.

[dogs1905]

@68blues would there have been room for two?

[68blues]

@dogs1905 .....There most certainly would.

[mulukkujoonas]

wilko shoots like AK-47.....

[darioluzi]

Per Aspera ad Astra, fratelli e sorelle

[tumpeloable]

i like mucic

[kingharryannis]

The bleached laundry detergent cover version, lacks life experience the darkness that puts the edge on boom boom boom,this is more like pop pop ping.

[MrBubbasmooth17]

can anyone just dig on good music and not just pick at it? big fn deal if you or your mom danced like an idiot, your kids will say the same of you. just jam on it, sure beats teenie bopper bubblegum crap on alot of stations today

[spudcustardx1]

@MrBubbasmooth17

I got it,wish I had done it

[MrSkodaman]

@notsukutsu Strictly speaking Wilko Johnson wasn't the lead singer - he was the lead guitarist. Lee Brilleaux who plays harmonica on this track was normally lead singer. Sadly Lee died from cancer in 1994(?)

[harmonica74]

Class

[brapting1]

im 17 years old and i love this music ;)

[TheJoulupukki97]

@brapting1 Im 13 and I play this music in bars! ;D

[joinedile]

feelgood ,sttepenwolf ,stray cats,winter, oh man

[Pinin500]

Sounds pretty good to me compared to the crap spewing from the radio these days.

[dpw81]

Proper band.

[DerEchteBold]

what's it with the black and white crap guys?

there's just good music, not so good music and really bad music and you can decide which you like - no matter the performers!

(to me this one is rather good music! (even though "she does it right" is much better))

[1959child]

 im feeling sea sick...

[ThatAudioChocolate]

Im sorry, but we white people will forever never be able to dance ;)

[1960gal]

@ThatAudioChocolate LMFAO!!!! Have to agree with you.........but it was the 70s and we ALL danced like that!! Just think: most of us are parents/g'parents and just love winding our kids up dancing like we did back in the Day!

Funniest whities dancing vid has to be Little Richard giving it his all, with what looks like an audience of 55yr old.......middle class American TEENAGERS! Just so funny to watch.

Oh yeah, and I'm one of those white 'can't dance but do when I'm drunk' 50yr olds :)!

[rockhammer666]

@ThatAudioChocolate whats white people?

[armandin2048]

@PassionateGuitarist1 Frantic wanking is pretty close.

[3334109329KARL]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwao!

[alfieb2204]

Wilko...singing...I always thought he was a robot...just goes to show.....cracking group...need this kind of music today...none of this kids crap

[SoldierSide77]

The harmonica's great, but the singer makes this song about as white as humanly possible! Too funny

[dominickearney]

@SoldierSide77 Maybe, but Wilco's a guitar legend.

[andry1200]

R.I.P Lee

[tony671]

wilco a legend!!! the whole band where a breath of fresh air while "rockbands" were givein us 3 hours of spaced out shite, canvey r nb kings gone but not forgotten

[lukemanify]

this is Wilko. Got the original Ice on the Motorway album. Not a needle to play it, thogh.

[23468791]

you people, chill, have a bit of nostagla

[helltopay1]

What year anyone?

[Beaso]

Superb!



[videogamerkm]

Oh snap. We just got served by that rippin' harmonica.

Also, Youtube counts the enter key as a character.

[artcritchley]

shades of RSG 15 yrs later...

[plonkerfest]

oh thats the stuff. like the editin on the video, so it starts with the presenter wide eyed looking at you "boom boom!" class

[bluesy365a]

My LAST Comment Was For  ziggybin

[buchananstreet]

boring,dull interpretation : the ANIMALS  did this 20 years earlier with REAL impulse & fire

[chrisb1953]

@buchananstreet

and don't forget the original .... John Lee Hooker, the master.

[samoman92]

@chrisb1953 wasnt he wilkos hero?

[chrisb1953]

@samoman92 Probably.

[thedebtsettler]

@buchananstreet

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?...this is DR. FEELGOOD!!!

Canvey's FINEST!

[lagman50]

@buchananstreet 10 years earlier.

[ziggybin]

wilco is brill but the bass player is trying to copy

[bluesy365a]

@ziggybin

Nooooo he is not trying to copy they grew up together and still play together now and again that was his style the same as wilko had his style

[angrysamoan666]

Boring the old bastards

[MrLatiguillo]

joder q armonica ....lee,,, grande

[SamCeMar]

BIG !

[DimechDavid]

I think they mean Wilko has stolen Steve Hooker's moves. But he can almost play thatguitar as well as Steve Almost

[m0dsar3us]

Come on asshole, seriously?!

And, you've gotta mean John Lee Hooker...because Steve Hooker is an athlete.

But honestly...if you think this guy is better, or just as good as JLH, then you'd be fucking floored if you ever saw me play...

[marshall2150]

No, he means Steve Hooker of Southend-On-Sea, Essex. Steve Hooker came along AFTER the Feelgoods. Wilko was first and best. Gypy Mayo (replaced Wilko) was Excellent.

[geezzerboy]

Don't you mean, move over John Lee Hooker?

[mariacultrock1]

Thank you a man with a brain some idiot commeted that Spencer Davies wrote and recorded it first. Give me strength xx BTW Spencer wrote nothing it was Steve Winwood who wrote in the Specer Davies band Steve is a national treasure brilliant voice sublime so modest too, even Hedrick wated him in The Experience

[dpw81]

R.I.P.

[rundle1958]

Move over Ringo Starr

[1960gal]

checking my 'Favourites' list and had to view this one again.

I totally feel for Lee as a 14yr old, and loved Wilko's unique style. A style many have tried and failed to replicate. RIP Lee B x

[dpw81]

Absolutely fucking amazing.

[deadlift65]

I like the contrast between Wilko's aggressive way of playing and his almost sweet way of singing.

[mitcheureka]

elle est tres bonne cette version non?

[PerfectPudding]

oui, vous ne parle pase francais, et tu parle anglais sil_vous_plait?

[mitcheureka]

@PerfectPudding

Non je ne parle pas du tout l'anglais.

[Seanvampire]

Aww, Wilko didn;t do to bad. He can sing where it counts.

Dr. Feelgood is one of the greatest bands I have ever listened to.

I'm glad Wilko is still rocking

[feiz01]

yea man,,,check out the harp,,,totally foookin great baby,,

[joealanouf]

totaly me on the harmonica.

[DocDich]

@joealanouf are ya still playing ?

[Deuteronomy100]

Wilko.leave the singing to Lee.

[eckankarpaul]

spot on ,brother

[badzatelecaster]

Live legends!!!

[bluespower]

excellent

[Usurped]

Brilliant!

[Scoobydur]

Putain de bon groupe !!!

[chefdux]

Clair! Ca envois ;)

[masktheheretic]

This was written and performed first by the Spencer Davis Group, and tbh, was done much better... still love it though.

[quercus1959]

"Boom Boom" is a 1961 song written and performed by John Lee Hooker.

In 1961, Hooker's version peaked at #60 while The Animals' version peaked at #43 on the U.S. pop singles chart in 1965 (#14 in Canada). This version became one of the most recognizable songs from that time when The Animals added "shake it baby" to the refrain alongside Burdon's screaming "come on and shake..."[citation needed]

Many other recordings exist, by The Yardbirds, CCS (1970), Dr. Feelgood (1974) and others.

[tbcass]

John Lee Hooker, Then the Animals then maybe Spencer Davis.

[SavantSvant]

lol, you obviusly don't know shit about blues.

[impbr]

Oops, there shouldn't be an f in day. But i suppose if there wasn't an f in day there wouldn't be an f in night.

[impbr]

Great stuff. Wilko is pinging around in that little space like a ball in a pinball machine. I remember seeing them back in the dfay, or was it back in the night.

[bluedjinn56]

Merde ça fait du bien!

[warren2975]

zomg awesome!

[missmymissy]

That harp didnt make it....I hope he had a spare!

[gloubloux]

I hate the audience but I love this band

[sopleto]

ecelent, but too much harmonica (im a harp player). i love this band. this is rock and roll and please dont f..k of my rockandrollinmeheadband!!!!!!! I LOVEEEEEE THIS BAND

[nazareth4372]

you can never have to much harmonica.lol.

[johny063083]

この曲ブリローが歌ってんじゃないんだ！！！

[mouseskater80]

the much-maligned 'pub-rock' scene looks a whole lot effin better now don't it? all you fans of this punk edged R&B should get along to a JIM JONES REVUE show soon as, i mean it.

also worth checking out are the FATKAT band, they're in london next week and will be playing support to the HOTRODS at the half moon putney in nov!

[mariacultrock1]

Have all those dreaeful videos of the imposter Dr Feelgood gone...they seem to have disappeared from here anyway. thank God or whoever withdrew them....they were all horrible

[TerryTeadreg]

One of the greatest bands ever, pure genius.

This is the only music that has the right to be called R&B!!!

[1960gal]

hearing the Feelgoods, and this track in particular, got me interested in John Lee Hooker - I had quite eclectic - not to say a bit strange! - music taste for a 15yr old girl. Back then it was the Bay City Rollers et al for my mates (spew!)

[kaycee600]

those were the days! Wilko tearing around like the ball in a pinball machine. great to see, cheers.

[nazareth4372]

brilliant .now can someone tell me what kind of harp lee is playing.

i have a diatonic in the key of c but i cant make it sound like that.

help me brothers.

[mariacultrock1]

The song is played in D but Lee uses an A harp and cross-plays. He was terribly underrated as a harmonia play RIP

[nazareth4372]

thanks maria.

you are a babe.

i am off to buy one tomorrow.

your so right about lee.

bless you.

[mariacultrock1]

Pleasure. The last time I said something about Lee on the Feelgood area it spartked off an unpleasant - highly personal series of comments against me by one guy using different names. Now I know who it was his name is Gerry and he's a Wilko fan who thinks he's wilko friend (the worst). When i saw a message that there was something from the feelgoods on youtube my heart fell into my stomach BUT IT WAS U BEING FABULOUS SO THANKS DARLIN' And play your heart out. Luv MariaXx

[knobstick]

You're right about Lee playing cross-harp, and it's an A harp, but cross-harp plays that back in the key of E, which is also the key the song is in. I remember a music show called Meltdown that Lee and the boys played in the 80's, he looked great in a dinner suit and bow tie, really manic like some crazed doorman or dodgy club manager, great performance that was!

[mariacultrock1]

Thanks for the clarity err Knob, it was a long time ago and I just remember Lee's harps that all....I am a bit deaf now ...forced to go to too many Motorhead gigs to fill out the audience figures back then. Lemmy don't need anyone's help these days ....well maybe the odd Japanese girl or 3 but all his gigs sell out I'm happy to see - he deserves it more than any1 else in the unforgiving music biz.

[daveb143]

Spadge says it.......this is the stuff

[dogbottomley]

spadge 321,bang on the money,this band truly kicked arse.

[dbfkjmatt]

isn't this originally john lee hookers song?

[mariacultrock1]

Yes, this is an ironic homage to Mr Hooker and the only song Wilko sang (the only song he ever should have sung) He spoke it rather than sang it and it was perfectly placed in the feelgoods show at the time.

[flipomucho]

Sorry Maria, but Wilko also sang 'Twenty yards behind' (on the same album, 'Down by the Jetty').

... the only two songs he ever should have sung ;)

[scottyek]

He also sang That Aint The Way To Behave from the same album and I'm A Man on Stupidity.

[LandRoverMan]

Sheer class, no gimmicks, just talent.

Keep the faith.

[quizzz1951]

The true spirit of the human Soul!!!

[spadge321]
