Wilko Johnson gets up to play with Jeff Chapman's Roosters at the Railway Hotel , Southend on Sunday 11th Oct 2015 Wilko - Guitar Jeff - Guitar & Vocals Chris - Bass Johnny - Drums filmed by Liesbeth - 11-10-2015
What a fantastic performance, great to see this rare footage. Wilko was a national treasure, seemed like he would go on forever so all the more sad when he passed away. Such a unique style, he made it look easy, and he was such a charming and modest man.
how can you not love this legend, you are going to be missed mr wilko Johnson, that's for sure ,thanks for making my life have a purpose, in your music 🎶
Great to see the HH amps at the back like he used in the 70s' . Much more like his spiky old sound too, unlike the more expensive Cornell amps he used latterly.
Wilko still is looking good and playing fantastic! God i miss playing down the railway, had some fantastic times down there with the boys, have gotta gotta gotta get down there again one day ❤
@@paulrous1670 That’s such a shame! Had many good nights there, such a great outlet for bands to meet, play and support the local scene and keep the railway thriving. Gonna miss it 💙 big time.
@@alfman0016 I went to Southend especially to go to the railway I'm about 3 hrs away and it broke my heart to see it boarded up and being squatted in 😞
Wilco has an autbio that is a great read for all booksters. I was first attracted to his playing visually...couldn't see how he could get all those notes with rhythm in that motion...but he does ese !
Me too .. I'm a drummer and wilko is the only guitarist that blew my mind everytime I saw him , appeared to hardly brush the strings and got such aggressive attack 😁
Gotta admit I got a tear in my eye, sadly missed Wilko fantastic, used to go to the Goldmine Canvey Island back in 74 , I was 17, saw Dr Feelgood in Paignton 2007, no Wilko still brilliant, tore the house down
The beautiful in the simple... Wilko always looked liked he just LOVED playing the guitar...and knocking the most fun out of a simple, sharp, sensible technique. (see 2:10) Young Guitar players of the world, take note... get out there and ROCK..! 🎸🌞thanks, Wilko..!
