Bassmonkey Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Had the pleasure of seeing Wilco at The Shepherds Bush Empire on Tues night. He was joined by Roger Daltrey, Mick Talbot (ex Style Council) and of course the magnificent Mr Norman Watt-Roy. The night was great but I could not take my eyes of Norman. Have seen him before but usually through a crowd of bodies whereas this time, I was on the balcony so could watch him do his thing with a perfect view. He works his @ss off. What a player. Big respect and obviously to Wilco. On the night my pals met up with Messrs Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond sporting a groovy tweed jacket and jeans look! Nice! Quote

leroydiamond Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Travelled to London a good many years ago to see Rush at Wembley and the following night caught Norman and Wilco at the Half moon in Putney. Came back home having been knocked out by Norman and Wilco . Rush.... Quote
TheGreek Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Only recently found out that Wilko appeared in Game of Thrones.. Quote

wateroftyne Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 It's 'Wilko'. Just sayin'. This is Wilco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B24la7sQsCw Quote
BetaFunk Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I loved the Feelgoods and they were never the same without Wilko that's for sure. I saw them loads of times in the 70s and what was great about those times was not only the music but that you'd just jump on a bus or the tube and you could see them down the pub. No queueing, no advance tickets, no rip-off prices for drinks you just paid your 50p for a couple of hours of rock, sweat and beers. Lovely. Edited February 28, 2014 by BetaFunk Quote

andyonbass Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Heard a couple of cracking tunes from the soon to be released Wilko and Roger Daltrey album on the radio this morning.Very reminiscent of the early feelgoods. Definitely on my shopping list! Anyone know if Norm is playing on the album? Quote

rubis Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yes I heard those tunes this morning too, I had the radio up so loud it was loosening all the dirt out of the wheelarches, cracking stuff, and nice harmonica playing Quote
fatback Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) And what a great presenter Wilco was on 'Oil City Confidential' (the BBC Canvey / Feelgoods story). Magic. Edited February 28, 2014 by fatback Quote

apa Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Couple of old fart rockers* going back to their roots at the tail end of their careers. Always a recipe for disaster! But not these two. Love it. Way to go Rog and Wilko A * Said with the utmost affection for two of my heros Quote
flyfisher Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 But isn't that the thing with musicians? As long as they remain physically able, their playing should really just get better and better, or at least not decline. I love watching a bunch of old muso's at the top of their game just having effortless fun playing. Quote

It becomes a reminisce rather than a meaning. This really only applies in the 'rock' world of course. The travelling wilburys where the epitome of everything I dislike about the 'going back to your roots' thing. Horrid stuff. You can see in fast paced angry groups later works - they mellow as is expected then when they do the early stuff its at the same pace as the later. Doesnt work. A Apology for derailment btw Quote
flyfisher Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 That's a fair point - I didn't really think of it that way as I was never into all that 'angry yoof' stuff. Quote

Rick Rubin, perhaps, given his sterling, stripped down work with Cash. Even Nick Lowe would have done a better job. And a shout out for the late Vic Maile for his production work on the first three Feelgoods albums [/derail] Quote
mike 110 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 He's playing some dates with the Quo Frantic Four this year . Quote
