    I'm 59 and I've heard literally hundred of bands, from blues to rap to rock, and even a little classical. I've never heard of these guys until a week ago. I watched them on youtube and immediately bought every one of their cds on amazon. They just blew me away!! Wilko Johnson has now become one of my favorite guitarists of all time....

      Hey John, I’m in my late 50s too. I got this band via Wilco, and the amp he is using, a H & H British transistor amp. Which I have. Not much info online about them. Mark Bolan of T Rex , and Bauhous used them.

      He did Portsmouth Poly SU one time in early 80s,. I had the new *German* girlfriend with me, Marlene. We were propping up the bar when he came on & I said "Cmon Marl we've got to get to the front" "Why? We can hear ok from here". "No, the front. You need to see his eyes." 2 songs later she's screaming down my ear [put on your best German accent] "Dave I know you like him but he looks like he comes from an asylum!" She's been a Wilko fan ever since :o)

You implied that the Feelgoods were the first punk band. I don’t need to be a music historian to know the difference between RnB and punk - I’m old enough to have lived through that era and whilst I thought Dr Feelgood were a breath of fresh air to the music scene in the early/mid 70s, punk (in my opinion) destroyed it (in much the same way as rap has done more recently).

      @@333daveh5 Hmmm….you need to read between the lines a bit more intuitively, I think. What I was implying was that the Feelgoods brought a punk sensibility which definitely influenced many young London musicians at the time. These were as diverse as Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg and Ian Drury, who all acknowledged the influence of the Feelgoods on the punk scene. The fact that you don’t like punk is irrelevant.

    Like one person said he's worth TWO guitarists, no need for more!
    Always have liked the sound of one great guitarist carrying the song single-handedly - note the Feelgoods or Rush or Zeppelin or Cream. Always thought the Stones or Aerosmith could have dumped one guitarist.
    Just my feeling right now when listening to Dr Feelgood.

    A few years ago, I posted a comment on my discovery of Wilko and Dr. Feelgood, albeit a little later on in my life. The style of Wilko's playing made me an instant fan, and I have tried to keep up with him and his music ever since. " She Does It Right" is a staple on my playlist. So, when I found out today that he had died, I just want to say how lucky I am to have found his music. I don't think anyone can ever replicate his intense style. I am thankful for the opportunity to have experienced such a talented musician. RIP Wilko.

    Hard to get much more ahead of the times than these guys. I mean, even down to the way they're dressed. Plus Wilko's playing the guitar style that launched a thousand bands. That and they're a great band, one of the best ever.

    I 1st came across Dr Feelgood watching this TV performance in the mid 70's and it blew me away. Different from anyone else. I've been a gan ever since and was lucky enough to see the original line up before the split.

    Saw them a few times on the pub rock scene in London and notably at the Kursaal. Wilco was the man and stared the audience down. Plenty of stuff on TH-cam of Wilco explaining where his technique comes from, and also noteworthy that he survived terminal pancreatic cancer. If you like him learn about him. Credit to this show, despite the compere, for letting us see them live and not destroying the tapes.

    I don't remember this cringe-worthy TV show, but I certainly remember seeing Dr Feelgood at around this time. They came and played at our small London college just before they began attracting bigger audiences. They were absolutely amazing, with Wilko as manic as ever. A week or two later Ian Dury and the Blockheads came to play for us. It was a special time. Thanks for sharing.

      It's a strange thing. They seem to have flown under the radar of so many people who were already around when Dr. Feelgod came rockin' and rollin' around. It's amazing, really. Brilliant band. Unbridled, raw energy without getting lost in endless noodling. There's a reason why those guys - Wilko especially - have influenced so many people who found themselves playing punk/post punk just a few years later.
