Solid Senders Rare Performance 1979

[@TheHyacinth8]

Rest in peace Wilko. From Canvey Island to the West Runton Pavillion you moved us.

[@powerdavid6235]

Steve Lewins, the bassist here, also died a few years ago from liver failure. I knew him when he was living homeless on the streets of Amsterdam, begging for money to pay for his heroin habit. A sad downfall.. Steve suited the solid senders perfectly back in the day... RIP Steve.. RIP Wilko.

[@MsAlien911]

Well, wilkos gone, but with footage like this, he will not be forgotten.... Its rough n tight and I'm feeling alright. RIP Wilko

A rare chance to see Wilko in all his post Feelgoods glory. His guitar style changed radically over the years and here he's at his versatile best playing at level that justified his legendary status. Thanks for uploading this - a totally unmissable 40 mins in the company of the very best.

[@monsieurd.]

awesome ! Loved his choppy guitar play ! love you Monsieur Wilko !

[@TheDocRitchie]

i had a huge Wilko Johnson's Solid Senders poster on my wall at the time with him jumping in the air playing his telecaster but never actually heard them. thanks for the memories!

[@thefirststudentzero]

Rare performance = Rare gem!

[@nutcracker2916]

RIP Wilco x

[@mickbradley6588]

Shoot, I like this lots, and still using HH amps in 79.

[@justincrumpton1210]

Looks to be a 100L too !! I have one it was the last of the IC100 line and one of the most rare

[@markbrooks4471]

Wilko loved those all tranny HH heads, Accentuated his toppy sound he said. We payed with his band in New Zealand, he was playing through a hired AC30, sounded terriffic!!

Oh no god bless him 🇬🇧🍀👍🙏 Brunel university early eighties ❤

[@brianhiggleton3736]

Part of my growing up in Leigh-on-Sea. Pub rock was all the rage and Wilko was the driving force

[@doctorskull8197]

Great band!

[@gustavocaceres550]

Larga vida al Gran Wilko!!!!!!!

[@johncollings3848]

Brilliant thanks

[@olikane530]

[@johnmitchelljr]

The world stinks. Wilko is gone and I just found out. So much for the”news” media. Thank you.

[@rocketboy9127]

Thanx for upload - nice one

[@marky711]

Great vid, well found

[@koke-tm6bg]

ワォ！ カッコいい！！

[@andybenstead7240]

One guitar not like the ponce from U2 a change of guitar for ever song , ,a legend is Wilko

[@laurenteynard6397]

Okay.....mais hors sujet

[@paulmartin7737]

Anyone who says "Weapon of choice - Fender Telecaster with red pickguard so it doesnt show blood" and "What do I need pedals for, I'm not a fucking cyclist" has my vote. RIP Wilko, jam on with Mick G

[@psycho6275]

@@Bonepointer that river you mentioned I wonder if its like ours over here.. I live bout 2 miles from its banks. We call it the river or Big Muddy. It's got a couple more I'd say. I reckon THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI,,,,,,,Yep,,, thats right son,, HOME OF THE ONLY DELTA BLUES..,.

[@juanfernandez820]

Wilko genuino, inimitable. Hasta luego!!

[@mickjaguar242]

Solid.

[@keijotoivonen3988]

Gooooöd!

[@ailurophile17]

The hell with all those "classic rock" (biggest misnomer EVER!) wankers! Wilko's THE MAN!

[@colum8680]

The punks had NEVER MIND. THE BOLLOCKS.......WILKO was the BOLLOCKS

[@patevasarainen6626]

Good stuff after dr.feelgood 🎸😎

[@TheRockerxx69]

Saw him at the Marquee, August 1979, was the same line up??? I think It was different. Help me.

[@Ian-does-noise]

I first saw Wilko play in August 79 (twice) & he had a new rhythm section, Russ Strutter on Bass who's still active playing in the Southend area (i'm friends with him on Facebook) & Alex Bines on Drums who's currently drumming for the latest line up of Slade

[@gabbabrasil]

Amazing! Always dreamed of watching something by them! Who's the bass player?

[@VintageSG]

Steve Lewins

[@raygilbert847]

@@VintageSG Yeah. Saw them Nov 1978 at St andrews University. Steve previously played with the Count Bishops. Unfortunately, he passed, 2015.

rip Wilko Johns....no Wilko Johns no Dr Feelgood!!!

[@TheRockerxx69]

I think he had that ltalian drummer that time l saw him

[@MrHifihifi]

Is this from Rockpalast? If so, it's not rare & the sound quality is much better on Rockpalast which I have. Also the audio quality on the Solid Senders CD is terrible & should be remastered!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

Great stuff but not sure why this is a rare performance as they toured all over

[@beatbrat33]

Is that Alan Platt on drums?.

[@BackToTheBlues]

Yep, he played with Wilko in this band, and then again when Wilko and Lew Lewis got together for a while. I thought he was a great drummer.

[@beatbrat33]

@@BackToTheBlues yeah, good laugh too,shame he passed.

[@beatbrat33]

@@BackToTheBlues he played on a few tracks of mine, in Edinburgh, Mighty Reel studio.

[@vulpeish]

^ ^ I saw them at Reading festival in 1979 ......they were great! I think this is a pretty sloppy performace.....it is "pub rock" But Wilco.....what a guitarplayer! VVxx

[@pit2ryan3]

Same as Rockpalast 1979, with some songs in a different order?

[@rolandkobelbauer8280]

Wilko is a great guitar player, but a lousy singer...🤷‍♂️

[@pepedelgado2148]

That's what punk is all about

[@lewiscambronero672]

Lee brilleax is a pukka singer

[@andybenstead7240]

Better than Bob Dylan

[@tommaguzzi1723]

I've been saying this for years. His best work recently was when he got Roger Daltrey in for his last album when he thought he his cancer would finish him off.

[@grahamhale6047]

Was great with early Feelgoods but a one trick pony on guitar and should not sing ffs !!

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

Wilko did one thing but he did it better than anyone else. He created a unique style and nobody else sounds like him.

[@jasonloader8149]

I have Telecaster because WJ. - I fucking hate Gibsons - The Tories of guitar planet in my old warped mind. I’ve been playing it for 40 years now - nowhere close.

[@orchidcarpetcleaningrp6061]

Should have stayed with Dr Feelgood for a few more albums

[@richardelson3261]

Great backing guitarist and writer.... vocals are terrible

[@wayinfront1]

Oh dear. Horribly out of tune.
