last saw Dr Feelgood at the Heineken Festival in Sheffield, England in about 1991, they were brilliant, Lee Brilleaux was great to the end. what a sad loss.
Fabulous ..saw this line up of 'Dr Feelgood' in the 80's at The Palace Lido in Douglas which was once the biggest ballroom in Europe,now sadly demolished and relegated to being a car park,as expected the crowd went wild,still have photos of Lee Brilleaux smoking and drinking on stage that night ..🙂
The guitarist and drummer playing with Lee here are the guys who are still in the band. And the current bassist also played with Lee, though he's not at this show. And Lee said he wanted the band to go on after he passed. So how is the current line-up not Dr Feelgood?
@@stevebowness9435 No denying that. Guy is a killer guitar player! Is he still playing with the version of Dr Feelgood these days? I've watched a few videos of the newer lineup but they seem to lack passion. Drummer barely taps the drums.
I've just been to see dr feelgood and they were amazing. Played this at the end and it was great. shame there was no wilko johnson though. He was the dr feelgood.
Yes, true basically the band revolved round Lee and Wilko until Wilko left either over “technical” difficulties or because the drinking was getting too much for him for which I can hardly blame him. The only concert I saw I was pissed before it even started. So, can’t remember when it was or whether Wilko was in the band but have a vague memory of him doing his famous “duck walk”. But it was a good night.
That one telecaster that’s working well tonight. He even does cool little tuning checks at full volume with little pecks on the tonic note. Just makin’ sure.
Wasn't he a fired up rocker ? A very much missed great front man loved these a permanent reminder of great days that will only die when we've arl gone 💔 ❤
Leave a late show Still feel alive Want a place to go Round about five Down to the doctors Down to the doctors Come on down to the doctors Make you feel good all night Everybody needs a shot of R'n'B So come on down to my surgery Down to the doctors Down to the doctors Come on down to the doctors Make you feel good all night Eight bars on piano Down to the doctors Down to the doctors Come on down to the doctors Make you feel good all night Come here baby Ain't gonna do you no harm I just want to shoot Some rock'n'roll in your arm Down to the doctors Down to the doctors Come on down to the doctors Make you feel good all night
Lee’s last wish on his death bed was that the band should continue so it has, tribute band or not, they are continuing a very important legacy and hoping to see them in Liverpool in October but will be very much more sober
Much earlier on clubbing around with Wilco Johnson, they were extremely sleazy, greasy with dirty spotty clothing. It wasn’t that they didn’t care, they didn’t even know and had to be told for TV appearances. Not saying or denigrating Lee of course but when people have to tell that kind of thing it has to be pretty bad. I saw them in ‘74 and they actually smelled like they weren’t washing.
Sniffing at musicians before actually listening to them often prevents from unnecessary waste of time. AFAIK, Chaikovsky was smelling the best - give him a try.
