Dr. Feelgood: Live in Berlin, 1980

If you haven't watched Oil City Confidential, director Julian Temple's latest examination of 1970's England, do not delay any further. Temple's brilliant use of British gangster films to sell the story puts Oil City Confidential into the elite company of Rock Docs that transcend the stultifying "they were influential' talking head dynamic.





Of course, Temple also wisely honed in on a band widely regarded, even to their detractors, as a riotous live act. Now, thanks to Bandit999, you can witness some of that live fire from the Feelgoods, albeit sans the attention-grabbing antics of Wilko Johnson.

Tales from Dr. Feelgood (Comic)

While we had a great reaction to our posting of the Beatles (X 2), The Rolling Stones, the Ramones, Nirvana and the Dead Kennedys comics (see HERE), MRML is not planing on becoming a 'scan blog'. However, a reader requested the Dr. Feelgood comic, so now via the Dr. F Archive here it comes.

Now this item is a little closer to a tour program (but it rips off old EC comics, just as the Ramones comic posted earlier did) and demonstrates just how simultaneously cutting edge and unerringly retro this band was in their prime.

Being that I'm only a fair-weather Stones fan I've always had mixed feelings about the Feelgoods. Again, I love some of their songs (esp "Milk and Alcohol") but have never found that one album I need to know. Despite my mid-level fandom, I'm still chomping at the bit to see Oil City Confidential.

Let is know what you think of the Feelgood and their life in comics in the COMMENT section!
