- "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 reasons Wilko and Dr Feelgood became fractious, Lee being uncomfortable singing it. It's Wilko's style anyway, besides, he'd sung at least one song per album - same as Keith always singing one on a Stones album...
Shit happens.
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.
RIP Wilko. A truly great guitarist.
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.
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.
Much condolences. Saw him in 1979, never forgot that performance. Mesmerizing.

It's ä shame that I never saw ya live :-(
great three piece and then Wilko......genius .....real rnb
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.
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
love it
What a tight bunch, real rippers.
Отличный пример, что важна подача и драйв. Браво👏
Thanks for that x x xx
@BackToTheBlues-- Same for me, it was at Southend Tech College!
VERY NİCE GREAT
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.
Yep!
Amazing!
badass
solid senders !!!!
CP80 :) ...never got rid of ours
What a man?
ソリッド・センダース！✨
Could have made a great Feelgoods track,but this is a cracking performance too.
It was on Sneakin' Suspicion (Feelgood's 4th album).
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
I think he's influenced by Bo Diddley.

And Mick Green, don't forget!
Every night you look so mean
