Dr Feelgood at the Black Swan

Recommended Posts

I remember seeing the Feelgoods at the Swan in 1975 i think.

It was one of my favorite gigs of all time. They also played the City Hall around the same time.

Was anyone at the gig? and can anyone tell me the exact dates of the two gigs,as i'm writing a book about Sheffield in the 70s.

Cheers.

Went to the City Hall gig, where they were supported by Mink De'Ville, the Feelgood gig from the city hall appears on one side of a live album.

I was at that gig too, it must've been after 1975 because I didn't move here until '76. My friend and I went for a curry after with Lee Brilleaux.

It was definitely Mink DeVille supporting when I saw them, maybe they played City Hall twice?

The live album of a city hall gig is Stupidity.

 

One of the great live albums from anyone. Actually the only album of theirs that I now own.

 

It's sad to see a pub band of the same name still knocking about, with not a single member of the original line up involved. Can't be helping the legacy of one of the great British RnB acts.

Never mind still in the band-there's only Wilco still alive!Down By The Jetty is still one of my most played albums.Still sounds as good now as it did then.
