Dr Feelgood: did they rock or what?

[spliff]

Oil City Confidential is on BBC 4, 23rd April, 9pm - and afterwards there's Sight and Sound in Concert with the Feelgoods and Ian Dury and the Blockheads, then the documentary on Stiff Records - 'If it ain't Stiff, it ain't worth a F**k'.

Serendipity. And unmissable.

[danny la rouge]

That was great. Really enjoyed it.

 

[butchersapron]

They could've followed it up with a live show where Wilko was actually still in the band though.

Yeah that was disappointing. Still ...

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm recording the live show. I did wonder about the dates.

 

[Divisive Cotton]

Oil City Confidential: Dr Feelgood

Wilko looks a fucked. I not seen him three or four years.
When was this filmed ?

Forgot to say I didn't know Dr Feelgood was that bigger band

Views on wilko johnson band ?

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Immediately pre-punk they were very big, at least in the UK. They'd moved up out of the clubs into the big theatres by about 1975. Then Wilco quit and they fizzled just about the same time punk started happening (from what I recall)

 

[spliff]

Oh right.

I needn't have bothered watching the documentary then really.

 

[Motown_ben]

I missed this last night but will catch it later thanks to i-player. good heads up thanks.

 

[Scaggs]

Didn't know much about the band so I found it fascinating.

 

[butchersapron]

I thought the first 90s minutes painted a really warm picture of a group of mates growing up and discovering the world together.

 

[Clint Iguana]

I missed this last night but will catch it later thanks to i-player. good heads up thanks.

On again tonight on BBC4 at 23:20 hundred hours o'clock pm

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

My missus is looking forward to this, she saw them loads of times at places like the Kursaal in Southend and the like in the mid '70s.

What a shithole

[Motown_ben]

Really enjoyed that, very well made and painted a great portrait of the band. I liked wilkos mad stare when he was performing. Does he still play these days, anyone seen him recently ?
