    Just heard about Wilko and had to come back to watch this again. What a band they were. And what a musician he was. Everything about him was one-off: playing style, look, presence and sense of perspective and dignity.

    I was once at a Feelgood gig at Kennington oval, the Cricketers, and the band launched into Shotgun Blues...Lee beckoned me up on stage and took a pack of ciggies out, put two in his mouth, lit them both, passed one to me, and the two of us stood on the stage smoking while I tried not to whither under his gaze....he then leaned in, said, cheers mate, now back in the crowd....my friend Steve, and a lot of other folk where staring at me as if to say, who the hell is this....Stve said, what the hell, you don't even smoke.....I replied, I am not going to say no to Lee Brilleaux am I....after all he was a little bit scary....anyone else ever had a close encounter..

    Wilko fucking Johnson.. the world doesn't realize the guitar player we lost today, underrated player, but one of the biggest, so unique. Guitarist like Wilko, make you want to play the guitar and enjoy it, no effects, no insane tapping techniques, no high speed solos, just your guitar wired to your amp, and make music at your own.

      they never made it here in the U.S. so in my culture they're hugely underrated. I know they were successful in the UK an Europe, You're right about Wilko, but Lee on vocals and harp was fucking amazing. The bawdy showmanship on this is amazing - you can't teach somebody that. He comes out like a pervert who spent the night in the gutter and then hams it up profanely on stage. It's obscene AND hilarious! Man, what a band.

    I was in London in 1973 and went to a pub to see Status Quo....Quo had to cancel and the replacement band was Dr Feelgood, who I knew nothing about.
    I am now 67 and have seen a LOT of bands but I don't think anyone will come close to the sheer frantic energy pumped out that night by these guys. It's so brilliant to see them again at their peak with the original lineup....a very special kind of magic that their albums unfortunately couldn't quite recreate.
    This was a band that had to be seen live which makes films like this so valuable.
    Thank you for sharing.

      I agree with having to see them live. This video is a fantastic substitute though. I saw them three times while touring the U.S. In support of Malpractice, and was dumbfounded each time by their energy.
      Seeing this, I'd forgotten how good a harp player Lee Brilleaux was.

    I’m not even sure how this works. For those who don’t go that far back this is a historic document. Four guys, four chords, a noise that echoed simplicity, talent, aggression , energy and a relationship with the audience that belies ego and just wants to deliver. On one level, it’s not about fame or fortune it’s about the music.
    It’s about doing it for it’s own sake , getting paid and getting laid sure, but no pretence, no stardom, just the essence of a great, indefinable thing. As someone said, a few months later on a different subject, “ we mean it maaaan”. That’s what makes this special.

      I imagine Dr Feelgood as the English Blue Oyster Cult who were also way ahead of most other contemporaries but never got the proper backing or were just a bit too left field for the masses. Not trying to compare the two bands in any way musically, that would be silly.

    Watching this just before going to bed might the stupidest idea ever, it's like your daily dose of coffee. Well, how many Dr. Feelgood fans haven't watched that show/DVD at least 50 times? Everything is brilliant in there, the attitude, the sound mixing/recording, the editing, the performance etc... Wonder if Lee was on speed that day, you can actually notice his singing speeding up around the end of "I'm A Hog For You Baby"! Tight!

    Gotta add my bit here. I live in Manchester, and I think it was 1973 me and my girlfriend Lorraine went to see Lou Reed at the Palace Theatre , we didn't normally watch support bands, but we sat down in the seats early..Jesus when Feelgood came on, I was totally absorbed, and became an instant fan (Wilco's strut was magic) from that time on me and all my buddies watched them everywhere up here in the North. TOP TOP Band.

      Remember coming out of the Swinging Sporan in Manchester and through a large window with obscure glass in that you can only make out the figures I could see Wilko strutting backwards a forwards in his manic way and the the sound of course was brilliant and I was hooked couldn't get in to the gig it was a students only gig but I found out the name of the band and then followed them in the North west and was never let down by the Feelgoods.
