And that, my friends, is the true spirit of Rock 'n' Roll. A rock solid rhythm section, a truly one-off guitarist, and a front man who looks like he'd rip yer eyeballs right out of yer head. Saw them loads of times, and Wilko's band as well. Absolutely brilliant.
I love this so much and agree with you all the way. Similar for me in Texas in the 70's seeing ZZ Top and SR Vaughn. My we were lucky (and I think I knew it at the time)!!
@@tcm6756 Well, that said it's never too late! Obviously he has passed now but Wilko was from my hometown in Essex and I've met him several times and played guitar with him in my local pub, all at the age 12 or 13!
They were outside my school often and played the haystack pub regularly on canvey - I wasn’t into them back then - but realised how good they were. I was into other music back then. Very underrated band at the time but well respected then and now in the music business
Saw them a couple of times at the Liverpool Stadium ( demolished '87 ? ) back '75-'76 . Those days it was about 90p . LOL . Hey , Chuck Berry at the Empire was only GBP 2.60 !
Only two good things ever came out of Canvey Island. The A130 and the Feelgoods. No band can compete when it comes to the sheer sweat and attack of a Dr Feelgood show. The boys are legends. Gonna miss you Wilco 😔

Great band, has all the elements you'd want driving rhythm section with loads of swing, guitar hero and powerhouse lead singer, all leaving everything out there on the stage. Such a pity the classic line up lasted such a short amount of time.
"Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" by Dr. Feelgood with Willko Johnson on guitar (a mid-70s live performance, remastered in 2005). Life affirming R&B at its very best. Happy birthday Wilko! May you have many years of music ahead of you!
My favorite part of one of his obituaries was when he said he liked blues but there weren’t any mules or cotton farms where he grew up, so he had to write songs with a blues background but incorporating the realities of his English life.
I thought the Stones version was good, but this tops it by miles. The tone of Wilco's Tele is spot on , and the band is so tight, and Sparco playing chords on his bass! . The big Figure driving them on. Total magic
Amazing band and a huge influence on what was to become punk with their high energy workingman's take on the blues blended with straight up rock 'n' roll.
My all time favourite band. Yes, I've listened to all kinds of other music over the decades and enjoyed inumerable other bands and revelled in seeing them live but, somehow, I always, at some stage, come back to this band from Canvey Island and for me Dr Feelgood always makes the world seem a better place....!
Not one mention in all these postings of Sparco and The Big Figure. We all know how great Wilco and Lee were in the band, but Sparks and the Figure were the engine room of the Feelgoods. They were the finest kick arse rhythm section in rock n' roll.
100% Agreed. Early Stones stuff was simply something else ( Apologies to Eddie Cochran fans ~ I'm one of 'em ) . Seen the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard Live back in the day,. Powerhouse performers all but Lee really was something else and then some. What a dynamic front man! My favourite live band by some margin. RIP oh great ones!
Wilko Johnson deconstructs Berry’s style, simplifying it and dumping all the cliches. Great performance also from Brillo and the others. RIP Wilko Johnson
Wilko is still touring, with Norman Watt-Roy and Dylan Howe. They are nothing short of brilliant. It is an amazing uplifting evening. Wilko is a legend. We are blessed that he is well and back on the circuit. Don't dither, buy a ticket and go. They are nothing short of epic.
Too bad I never saw Lee Brilleaux on stage. Last time to experience was maybe around 1991 at my hometown, Lahti, Finland but I missed it. Thanks Lee, Wilko and rest or the Dr. Feelgood for everything.
Oh my Dr Fleelgood so good Rock and Roll pure Gold nothing but wow Wilko such stage presence amazing definitely enjoyed these guys amazing luv this wow moment right there always 😊💯🎸🎤🎼🐈⬛️💛🌹🌹
The rhythm section was the engine of the band, with the Feelgoods a lot of people were focusing on Lee and Wilko as they were so visual and not appreciating Figure and Sparko

Can we take a moment the skill, brilliance and coolness of The Big Figure - an underrated drummer, if ever there was one.
RIP Wilko. This video demonstrates just what a showman he was.
Ah I hadn't seen that. RIP
So mobile despite having a lead on his guitar!
Alan
AMEN to that
Took ill same time as Mum,he managed to push nearly a decade more,he can be thankful for that...showman

When Lee died his suit went on touring for another 6 months.

LEGENDS FROM ESSEX....A BAND WITH BALLS!!!!!! salutes from TABLADA ARGENTINA 🇦🇷
So underrated, we were blessed to have them
Thanks from an Essex lad.
less is more,uncomplicated raw brilliance
Spot on
I love this. RIP Wilko & Lee wearing the suit they couldn't dry clean.
Rich.
Just what a rock band
Should be.
Low down & dirty.
Live & loud
Glad I got to see them.

Dr. Feelgood and Cold Chisel. That would have been some show.
Yes. I clocked them in the Firehouse in liverpool many moons gone. A fight started, but the band played on!

GOOD HONEST ROCK'N'ROLL
Saw this mob so many times , always a great show .
Ich habe Dr. Feelgood in Berlin Kreuzberg im SO 36 live erlebt.
Klasse Band gewesen 🌅❤️🙏
Rest In Peace Wilko - wherever you go, Lee is sure to be rocking his harmonica!!
Best version of Route 66 ever
Completely authentic music. I can't believe I wasn't into them in the 70's. Brilleaux is a fantastic frontman

Add Eddie & the Hot Rods
@Detroit1967 point taken but they weren't really in the same league as the Feelgoods.
The goldmine wasn’t bad either
Wilko Johnson and Lee Brilleaux are the coolest couple on stage ever!
True legends
Wilko was not essential - as Gypie proved. Wouldn't work without Lee...

These guys are rockin' and Wilko is so unique. Love it when Lee humps the floor towards the end, lol.
I went to see them at Bracknell sports centre in 1977.exellent band. And I swear that suit he has on . Is the same one
Proper music, proper musicians.
This whole concert is one of the very very best on youtube from any band.
A bygone era ... we shall never hear or see their like again.
Great band, has all the elements you'd want driving rhythm section with loads of swing, guitar hero and powerhouse lead singer, all leaving everything out there on the stage. Such a pity the classic line up lasted such a short amount of time.

Amazing how good simple, straight-up blues/rock ‘n’ roll can sound.
My favorite part of one of his obituaries was when he said he liked blues but there weren’t any mules or cotton farms where he grew up, so he had to write songs with a blues background but incorporating the realities of his English life.
Just discovered this fantastic band! RIP Lee Brilleaux.
If you like them, make sure you check out the Sensational Alex Harvey Band too.
Saw them many times in the seventies. Top band live.
@@YaoEspirito Sensational Alex Harvey Band were bloody brilliant!
RIP Wilko
Great sound , savage energy levels, class act.
This is what proper rock and roll sounds like, raw, minimal, loud.
Fella, you never spoke a truer word
Powerful, exciting marvelous band!
God bless Dr. Feelgood!
God ?
I thought the Stones version was good, but this tops it by miles. The tone of Wilco's Tele is spot on , and the band is so tight, and Sparco playing chords on his bass! . The big Figure driving them on. Total magic
Note Wilko playing his Tele through the much revered - now reviled - HH 212 "Valvesound" all-transistor combo. Great player, great tone.
Tone? That is a stupid description of sound that you parrot from other dummies. Tone. SHEESH.
@@Onemore59 Okay what would you call it?
@@MirlitronOneI think Noel Gallagher used one with a marshall valvestate on the first oasis LP and tour.
Was fortunate to see the guys live every week in alittle pub between Sheperds bush and Kensington High Street around 1972,amazin gigs.
and at The Lord Nelson on Holloway Road! :)
Allan Pickersgill wow, how lucky were you!!! I'd have gave my right arm to have seen them back then
Amazing band and a huge influence on what was to become punk with their high energy workingman's take on the blues blended with straight up rock 'n' roll.
Eddie & the Hot Rods followed
@@Detroit1967
They sure did and and like Dr Feelgood paved the way for punk in the U.K.
"workingman's take on the blues" As opposed to the bourgeois pioneers of the Mississippi Delta, or what?
@EatPieYes
In the Britisn context, it was compared to what went before. I wasn't talking about the original masters in the States.
@@bloodboughtbigphilr8266 Just to be clear, it was a joke. But that's interesting, I hadn't thought about it that way.

The show and energy are incredible. I first heard them at 14 and they still sound amazing. One of the forerunners of punk
Shame we don’t get music like this anymore 😢
The best version ever!
Eine Legende
Lee's suit! Apparently it was brand new at the start of the tour.he said he would wear it on every show without cleaning it ha ha. .brilliant.
What a beast this Wilco! RIP, my friend, thanks you for your music.
Wilko and Lee the BEST LIVE PERFORMER EVER AND EVER😢😢😢 MISSING YOU..
Absolutely raw masterpiece from one of the most underatted band from this island....
Not one mention in all these postings of Sparco and The Big Figure. We all know how great Wilco and Lee were in the band, but Sparks and the Figure were the engine room of the Feelgoods. They were the finest kick arse rhythm section in rock n' roll.
Well the engineers were always underestimated on all the ships, fleets, seas and the bands:) Cheerio Cliff
Well said totally agree
Was just thinking that
That's a great point you've made there Cliff, where would a Band be without a rhythm section
They're awesome. Seriously great rhythm section.
Heard many versions of this famous song, but surely this is how it's suppose to sound?
Wilko, one of my guitar heroes. RIP
this is actually the best route 66 you'll ever hear
that suit should be in the rock n roll hall of fame. It looks like his ford transit broke down on the way to the gig lol What a band!!
Agreed!
Both the band and the suit are too rock 'n' roll for the Hall of Fame
loved them both r.i.p. x
La meilleure interprétation de Route 66 depuis les Rolling Stones et Chuck Berry. Merci Wilko Johnson.
100% Agreed. Early Stones stuff was simply something else ( Apologies to Eddie Cochran fans ~ I'm one of 'em ) . Seen the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard Live back in the day,. Powerhouse performers all but Lee really was something else and then some. What a dynamic front man!
My favourite live band by some margin. RIP oh great ones!
wonder how many miles Wilko covered doing the back and forth during his live career....RIP legend
Superb.....
I think I've got an idea for a new detergent brand. BRILLEAUX!
Brilliant band, full of energy & stage presence. Fondly remember their first album coming out….in mono!
I saw them in Valladolid, Spain, late 80. Brilleaux smoked in spasmodic way many cigarretts. Unforgotable
I'll miss Wilko big time. This footage is absolute gold.
Wilko Johnson deconstructs Berry’s style, simplifying it and dumping all the cliches. Great performance also from Brillo and the others. RIP Wilko Johnson
Raw and authentic. My generation.
Those were the great days my friends

Fantastic ....wish I'd been at this gig ... what a band

Why didnt i go and see this band? just raw blues /rock amazing!
Absolutely brilliant. Iam glad I saw them live many years ago.

Love Wilkos style its completely flat out and full of passionate riffing.

In this year 2019. This works like nothing else still:)
Сильнейшие рокеры супер группа таких не много

Love Dr feelgood...I thought they were an Aussie pub band...🍻👍,top rock
My favourite version of this song.
They blew me away, the first time I heard them live (age 15).
I saw them in Cambridge England in about '85. The first time I saw and heard a harmonica played in anger. Great band.
Great version of a song done by early Stones. Both are fantastic!
True but they needed 2 guitarists - Wilko plays the rhythm and lead parts himself
@@gerrytaylor3432 Did the Who need two guitarists?
