Wilko Johnson died today, they are one of the best live bands I have ever seen, they ruled the london "pub rock" scene in the 70s, a sad loss

As an American, I'd never heard of Dr. Feelgood but found out about them several years ago from a documentary about UK's pub rock. Have enjoyed their music ever since, especially the early period with Wilko (RIP).

Here are a couple more of their best videos:




This one is from about the same year as the one above (circa 1975, not 2005, obviously,)

They are new to me and I like it. I can't imagine where some of these Brits would be without all of this American influence I might also add.

One of my heroes from the 70's!

My eyes are bleeding...

Been playing his/their music a lot lately.

I never liked The Who but together with Wilko even Daltrey turned out good!

Wilko will never be forgotten!

Pub rock, as many saw it a precursor to Punk rock, Feelgood were at the forefront, along with Eddie and the Hot Rods. Had the privilege of seeing them, supported by the Hamsters. Great stuff.

I didn't realise he starred in Game of Thrones.
RIP
