 :mrgreen: Taking the drink out of Dr. Feelgood was a self-defeating idea! Teetotaler and pub rock don't really go together. The Blockheads bassist, btw, is still in Wilko's trio today and has been for decades. Very good bassist.

Lee Brilleaux and Wilko never kissed and made up. By the time Wilko was up for it, Lee had died from cancer. Wilko has said that he regrets missing the opportunity. That said, even if Wilko had stayed on, I think there were inherent limits to Dr. Feelgood's mass appeal, I couldn't have seen them conquer the airwaves (once Wilko had left, they relied much on outside songwriters) and they were not made for stadiums in the Midwest either, there can be only one Foghat. Cult band/small national treasure was how far they could go.

They still exist with not a single original member, but I find a Dr. Feelgood without Lee hard to swallow. That said, the "new" guy can sing circles around Lee Brilleaux' one-of-a-kind, but obviously verly limited voice.

Having a limited vocal range hasn't stopped a lot of rock stars, starting with Chuck Berry.

Or Springsteen, or - heaven help us - Dylan, who I don't think ever HAD a vocal range.

Took me a while to find this. Richard Belzer in his standup days, doing his 86-year-old Bob Dylan bit, starting at the 40 second mark.

Not cherry burst but a natural Ripper. I believe this is the first time one has been reviewed on Norm's channel.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Sunburst fretless (?) Ripper with custom inlays (or stickers on blank board?)

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (drummer and bassist of Deep Purple, Jake!)

Thanks, Dave! It was a nice and fun gig. Strangely enough, with an audience of, maybe, 200 men and women from around 20 to 70 years of age, every one seemed to be enjoying themselves, no matter what age! That sure feels good!

Nice to see some live footage of a fellow Outposter.  :toast:
We need more of that!

Nice job.  :thumbsup:

Awesome, love Ralphe. I guess he's doing a show or two with Ponty in the Detroit area this tour.

Finally vid evidence of him playing a Gibson, I've been looking for something like that for ages! Trust Herr Fertig to dig out those fusion nuggets!  :mrgreen:
