Wilko Johnson - Solid Senders (1979) - Paradise
Переглядів 71 тис.10 років тому
"Paradise", a song Wilko wrote about his wife, Irene. The Solid Senders featured Stevie Lewins (bass/voc) Alan Platt (drums/voc) and Lex Ray (piano, voc) replacing John Denton. Having an endless number of contacts, Alan brought Lex in on quick notice. He always knew someone, whatever/whoever the band needed. On Julian Templeman's movie "Oil City Confidential", "Paradise" was cited as one of the...

Wilko Johnson (1/5) - Rare Performance 1979
Переглядів 46 тис.14 років тому
A bit dark, this - we got the others brightened-up, tho'.. From Late-Summer 1977 through Spring 1979 the hottest Boogie band in the U.K. was Wilko Johnson's Solid Senders. Wilko has never played better Blues Guitar or Stretched Himself musically before or since. Seen here, the band is at it's dynamic best. The rhythm section of Stevie Lewins and Alan Platt with Lex-Ray's relentless piano ensure...
What a tight bunch, real rippers.
Thank you for posting this rarity. Loved the Solid Senders with Wilko.. I know the Keyboard player quit. ‘The Whammy’ was on a Live At The Hope & Anchor album . I saw them supporting ‘The Blues Band’ at the Birmingham Odeon.
Отличный пример, что важна подача и драйв. Браво👏
What a man?
Wilko on top form. Almost see the sparks coming off his guitar.
~ R.I.P. Wilko Johnson ~ It's ä shame that I never saw ya live :-(
The ONE the ONLY... Wilko Johnson. RIP
badass
RIP Wilko
Much condolences. Saw him in 1979, never forgot that performance. Mesmerizing.
RIP Wilko. A truly great guitarist.
Wilko at his best. Saw this line up at Plymouth blew me away
ソリッド・センダース!✨
Bo Diddley - The Godfather of all goodness in music - from WJ to Johnny Marr.
Love Bo Diddley, but he never played lead & rhythm at the same time
brilliant wilko,great style.
Love it!
When Wilko got kicked out of Dr. Feelgood, that had to be a grave mistake.
That's THE STUPIDITY!
I have to say Wilko Johnson's head and hair resembles a little bit of Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones!
I think he is the spitting image of Ser Ilyn Payne
Looks like mark zuckerburg on bass
solid senders !!!!
This was and remains my favourite Feelgoods/Wilko track. If I remember correctly John Peel said that he felt the same. So sad then that it was a part of Wilko leaving. To me, now it just seems so unnecessary. Would they have reacted differently if they'd known that the original line up would never play together again. The story goes that when Noel Gallagher asked Wilko to reform the original line up and play at Knebworth, Wilko turned him down because he hadn't spoken to Lee in years. When they all met up at Lee's funeral his wife told Wilko that Lee loved Oasis and would have done it in a flash. I wonder how Weller or Morrisey/Marr or the members of Slade will feel when they can't reform their respective groups because someone has been inconsiderate enough to die. My other favourites are Twenty Yards Behind, She Does It Right, All Through The City and Roxette.
Lee Brilleaux died before Oasis' first single was released and four months before Definitely maybe was released. Knebworth was two years after he died. Fake news.
@@cbturner Ah thank you. What a shame, I can't remember where I heard or read the story. Noel was unable to get Slade either, I don't think that's fake.
Rip, The Legend That Was Mr Wilko Johnson.
I sure hope to hell that Wilco formed an impromptu band on the GoT set and entertained the crew when work wrapped up . Oh, what a party that would to have been part of!
great three piece and then Wilko......genius .....real rnb
Bitch, bitch, bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep!
Amazing!
Every night you look so mean
Brilliant!
Could have made a great Feelgoods track,but this is a cracking performance too.
It was on Sneakin' Suspicion (Feelgood's 4th album).
Great playlist good find, loved the Solid Senders Album and Ice On The Motorway been a Wilko fan since Feelgood days and lucky enough to have been able to follow he's career. Top showman, performer, geezer and reaper dodger, long may he rock.
I think he's influenced by Bo Diddley.
Larz Gustafsson i
And Mick Green, don't forget!
I only read last night in Classic Rock magazine that his song is about Wilko's wife, Irene. Apparently, the last bust up between Wilko and Brilleaux was over the song. But the rift was deep and there long before and largely related to The Feelgoods' hard drinking lifestyle which Wilko was not a part of due to his own choice.
Mr. Steve Jones There are many quoted theories about Wilkos departure. Whatever triggered it certainly it was only a matter of time with Lee, Sparko and Figure being big boozers whilst Wilko favoured Amphetamines.
Amphetamines and Ribena. True.
Well, Les is dead and Wilko is alive, so there is a lesson to be learned right there.
Wilko told me the rest of the band felt the song was 'a fucking ego-trip.' I just don't think they really understood the meaning of it. Wilko had to write to a certain style for Lee, with shorter lines and more direct lyrics compared to a lot of the imagery in some of Wilko's later songs, and many of those later songs wouldn't've suited him. As Ferg Ranson says, it was only a matter of time.
@@LarzGustafsson It's Lee, not Les, you twat.
I love the bit where Alan Platt carries on All Aboard for 12 bars longer than Wilko thinks he's going to! I wonder if they kept it in the set as two fingers up to John Potter after he left the band on bad terms... That's a lovely flourish Lex Ray does at the end of his piano solo on Walking On The Edge. RIP, Steve Lewins, you were a bloody good bass player.
Great to see this and my good and much missed mate Alan Platt in his element.
fuck off dick
@@rm009z0858 Steve Lewins said Alan Platt used to say 'be of good cheer.' I liked that.
@@BackToTheBlues That sounds like Alan. Thanks for that, nice to hear. All my memories of Alan are of good cheer.
CP80 :) ...never got rid of ours
Brilliant :-)
I just found out Steve, the bass player with the Solid Senders and poster of this video, has died. Rest in peace, my internet friend, it was a pleasure to know you the little that I did.
@BackToTheBlues-- Same for me, it was at Southend Tech College!
VERY NİCE GREAT
P.S. I'll get more Rockpalast singles on next week..
It worked real nice, Keith I'm sure the Roundhouse tapes are all or most on YT, if not I'll put them up. Old SSs scrapbook arrived from N.O. (???) my g/f at the time did it - long story re; how came from there but...there's a bunch of pix'n'reviews, NME, MM, Sounds covers to use. Potter, of course, has done umpteen other recordings of All Aboard..
The Solid Senders were the first band I saw at a proper (non-local pub) gig, and they blew me away. Fantastic night at Reading Top Rank, and this vid shows just why.
Great version, serves as a reminder what a locked in groove this band had. I wonder if there are any tracks remaining from the gig that was taped for the free live LP with the Solid Senders album...
Thanks for that x x xx
Best version EVER!
love it
wilko ago go
Go Wilko!
I would have loved to have visited the UK in the lare 70's. Great music scene. I just started to get into the music scene in NYC at the time. we had a pretty good thing going on in the clubs also and I remember the Buzzcocks playing in front of four people in a this club called Hurrahs. great days for music. miss it all.
@allblue3 YW - going to do them again as individual songs incl.a couple of others. There was a tour which ended with four (thurs-sun) at The Marquee. It was summer and well sweaty - huge industrial fans on the stage which just blasted air at us. Lemmy got up one night, got crazy......
Rockpalast '79... yes! Thanks a million for this upload.
oil city riff master at his best..love ya wilko..
