SUNDAY

 

 

[carlosj]

Sunday gives me that FEELING. I'm in my 50s and I still sometimes get that 'going back to school tomorrow' feeling on a Sunday.

[grumpyhack]

I wish I were still in my 50s carlosj.  But this Sunday I'll be feeling the F5 button in the hopes of a resale ticket that would make an old man happy.

In the meantime I have to make do with classic Glasto performances I've seen.

He's another bunch of oldies showing that as well as feeling they can SEE.

SeeTICKETs

You have some other fingers to help with the F5 tomorrow, Mr. Hack. Let's hope it all goes to plan.

[grumpyhack]

GERTCHA

Hopefully I'll be singing this after a morning of F5-ing

Sadly another Grumpy Gonner but they were great fun live.

SLIP, SLIDING or AWAY

Just couldn't persuade the ticket gods to let me grab one.  This was a magical concert - though I've only watched it on video.

 

[grumpyhack]

FAR  Hard to think that this is over forty years old.  They were a great band live and much under-rated.

CLOSE

 

 

[carlosj]

But no CIGAR, as my mum used to say.

[grumpyhack]

Close but no cigar was a phrase used at Fairgrounds to punters who almost won the prize - often a cigar - but just failed and weren't perfect.

So a bit of FAIRGROUND Attraction.  Eddie Reader is still touring and may see her in June.

RIDE

 

[carlosj]

DONKEY wasn't for riding, in Shrek. Tenuous, but here's Tom Waits.

[grumpyhack]

HALLELUJAH

 

Another Grumpy Gonner, but still one of the finest performers I have ever seen live.  Sadly his Glasto appearance wasn't broadcast.  And I think this was also a Shrek song - albeit not the LC version.

RAINING

 

[carlosj]

I'm going where the WEATHER suits my clothes.

[grumpyhack]

RAIN

I remember Everybody's Talkin' from the film Midnight Cowboy which featured a stunning performance by Dustin Hoffman.  A real tear jerker.

This clip is from a great set by John Fogerty at Glastonbury - though why I post Glasto clips when I don't have a ticket this year I don't know.

HOUSE

Otway at his best with the big band

DOCTOR

 

[carlosj]

Feelgood.

Is this where the band got its name from?

[grumpyhack]

If you want a bit of pedantry, according to Wikipedia Dr Feelgood was formed in Canvey Island in 1971 by Johnson, Brilleaux and Sparks, who had all been members of existing R&B bands, and soon added drummer John Martin. They took their name from a 1962 record by the American blues pianist and singer Willie Perryman (also known as "Piano Red") called "Dr. Feel-Good", which Perryman recorded under the name of Dr. Feelgood & The Interns. The song was covered by several British beat groups in the 1960s, including Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. The term is also a slang term for heroin or for a doctor who is willing to overprescribe drugs.

The Feelgoods still perform but with no original members as far as I know.  Better still catch Wilko Johnson, especially if he's with Norman Watt Roy on bass, as that will give you more of a Feelgood feel.

oh and the link word is JOHNSON
