Dr Feelgood.

In case any fans missed this film on tv the other night, I thought I'd mention it's on iplayer. Very good I thought, although they've got me on milk and alcohol.

wow, respect bro, that will take some beating

it was a fantastic programme, though Wilko's extreme quirkiness seems a bit stage managed

Just watched the film and they are the best band I have ever seen live. My two teenagers talk about moshing to bands but they have never moshed to Dr Feelgood in their prime!

Exceptionally good documentary. Visually, verbally and nostalgically. Really enjoyed it.

I saw both Feelgood and Wilko (separately) play live after they had split. Both gigs were excellent, although I'm not sure I can forgive Brilleaux for trying to steal my girlfriend off me in Kate's Bar in St Andrews after the gig! :evil:

When I got back from the toilet, the band had gone and she and her mate were in stitches having just turned down the chance of a hotel-room romp! 8)

This from Wikipedia:

"A film by Julien Temple about the very early days of the band, Oil City Confidential, premiered at the London Film Festival on 22 October 2009, and received a standing ovation. Guest of honour was Lee Brilleaux's mother Joan Collinson, along with his widow Shirley and children Kelly and Nick. All the surviving members of the original band were present along with manager Chris Fenwick, former tour manager and Stiff Records boss Jake Riviera and other friends and colleagues of the band. The film has its own Facebook page. Reviewing the film for The Independent, Nick Hasted concluded: "Feelgood are remembered in rock history, if at all, as John the Baptists to punk's messiahs". On general release from 1 February 2010, the film has been critically well received, with Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian describing it as “ ..a vivid study of period, music and place”.
