DR. FEELGOOD - BACK IN THE NIGHT LIVE 1975 - VERY GOOD QUALITY - WILKO JOHNSON

[@astragreen]

Forget Wilco for a minute, this is Lee playing guitar, a rare occasion!..

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

Also Wilco using a pick. That’s a rarity as well

[@glennlilley8608]

Er? Every gig they ever did.

[@mattbates6887]

Lee Brilleaux, Wilco Johnson, John B Sparkes and The Big Figure, pure lengend. 👍 👏

[@pauldoman2276]

Takes me well back love it🤷🏻‍♂️ I was 15 🤦‍♂️

[@douglasfreeman3229]

Wilko looking bloody cool, as usual. Sadly I have just heard of his death. Another legend of music gone, but what a legacy he has left us. Thanks, Wilko!

[@williamrae9954]

Sat and watched the 2hr documentary on Sky Arts on Wednesday night without knowing of Wilko's death, did that hit me hard last night...my weird 6th sense again, I just happen to Google him and catch his obituary in the Guardian. I don't watch TV often, just happen to turn it on as the documentary was starting...greatest band never to make it! Lee and Wilko reunited!

[@davidsedlickas8222]

I remember watching this and thinking, I have found my music, the start of 49 years of loving R n' B and Blues.

[@infoscholar5221]

Wow before Wilko switched his scratchplate, great days. So long ago, now. RIP, Legends. Also, note, Lee is picking with his nails, and Wilko is actually using a pick.

[@BazColne]

Let's hope we never completely lose the raw sound of creative people actually playing.

Impossible, you just might not see it in the charts as much but.. so what

Absolutely brilliant, so tight, so together. No over-playing gimmicky stuff. Just pure class, all four of them playing as one.

Great tune. Just. Been see a tribute band last night. Bloody brilliant they were . Call em selves Dr realgood ..

Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they weren't a patch on the real thing ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

Saw these guys in 77 or 78 at the Cleveland Agora. Love them, i was suprised they weren't more popular in the US.

[@ronwall5429]

This band blew me away 🤣 RIP Wilko you are a legend

[@tankhalffull]

So few people realize the impact Dr. Feelgood had on R&R music.., plain and simple, this is the band that sparked the punk scene...

[@davidkeith9015]

Without a shadow of doubt I saw them live in 1980 what a brilliant live band

[@john111257]

Lee died on 7 April 1994 of lymphoma, at the age of 41, at his home in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Great performer

[@davidkeith9015]

Much respect to the brilliant Lee

[@barryjohnson2865]

I wish I hadn't "missed them" in my library of rock in the beginning.

[@LULUBELLEIII]

This band proved that you could look like a bank robber or a dodgy used car salesman and still have a number one album...

[@monjesenal7477]

LULUBELLE III lol

[@keithlloyd4254]

They could have had two heads & a forked tail as long as they kept playing like that.

[@kynoceph]

Or a dodgy bank robber trying to sell a crappy used car. Regardless they were awesome.

[@sonofbarnsey]

Or in Wilko's case, a undertaker!

[@BackToTheBlues]

I always thought they should've been in an episode of The Sweeney, playing a band suspected of robbing jewellers shops (or similar) after gigs. Only right at the end would it have turned out to be a gang using their gig schedule to divert attention away from themselves. That would've been a great show - can you imagine Wilko looking well dodgy and Regan and Brilleaux going head to head?!

[@harrydonaldson1965]

Absolute class, I was so lucky to have been around when they blew the music industry wide open!

[@MrJules8888]

Its 2017 and I love this band as much now as I did as a bouncer at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, in '77. One of the greatest good time English bands ever !

[@christopherrussell2611]

They were great - excellent British band feeling rhythm & blues. One of the best at a time when we were pretty much spoilt with a plethora of them - back then, back in the night! RIP Brillo & Wilkins. Love JaneR

[@juliebarker1312]

Fell in love with them when they released Malpractice (back in my college days (yes I'm an oldie)). I'm probably just dreaming here but I'd love to see them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@paulrous1670]

Are they Not ??? How has that happend ?? God bless lee n wilko ..

[@davidkeith9015]

To see them live was amazing

[@morganrieder6281]

In 1975, I was working in the oil fields of West Texas, listening to Merle Haggard and other country musicians, so I missed pub rock. Now that I've heard it, I love it. Brilleaux and Johnson are fucking brilliant.

[@bmosley4444]

[@markvincent1326]

This was Granada TV's tea-time music/pop show called "45". It was recorded at The Hard Rock Club in Great Stone Road, Old Trafford Manchester - next-door to Lancashire County Cricket Club's ground. The venue was short-lived - closed by the police due to drug-dealing problems, so I heard. It was then converted to a large B&Q store. "45" was a pretty good show - I attended a few recordings (a teacher friend of my Mum's knew one of the sound engineers there). Many of the acts would be lip-syncing, but every week, they would have one - occasionally two - main acts who would perform live, and perform a couple of songs. The live sound in the TV studio setting used to be brilliant - far better than most gig venues. Of course, the old TV speakers never did the show justice. :)

[@grantfryer407]

they were all blutty amazing..one tight band

[@michaelturner5443]

One of the most intense live bands of all time

[@justine_holloway]

What a look Lee had - so intense. He looks particularly good here. Fantastic band

[@fncz]

I saw them in Maryland at some biker bar in Maryland. Group was great, but the crowd was not pleased.

[@andywhite5808]

You would have loved them Shayne. Saw them at Chatham Central Hall in 1976. They gave everything and Sparko and the Big Figure were integral to the band and the sound although Lee and Wilko got the attention. Never quite as good beyond that lineup.

[@oldfatbastad6053]

The original line up is the ONLY Dr Feelgood. Sparko and his "bastard suit", The Big Figure banging away, Wilko like a demented pigeon and Lee, his trousers and ankles had a row again 😆

[@DerEchteBold]

He's great but what you see him playing isn't actually what you hear, with a little experience in guitar you can see how sound and sight don't really match. It's probably half-playback, as others mentioned, live singing with a pre-recorded music track. Anyways, he's doing a great job faking it though, I really mean it, that's not as easy as one might think!

[@daytona955joop]

Lee didn’t play lead guitar. He could clang in with a little slide when needed but he was the singer, the general, leading from the front!!
