Yes it´s the Julien Temple doc Oil City Confidential followed by a concert featuring Ian Dury and the Blockeads, Chaz Jankel as well as Dr. Feelgood.
After that there is a repeat of the Stiff records story.

Quality night in.

Well, a big thumbs up to BBC4 once again. That was a really enjoyable night's viewing. Wilco was a humble and likeable "host" in the documentary and what a geezer. He flew a fecking plane FFS!

Anyone else think that the band on the Sight & Sound gig afterwards - with Gypie Mayo, a decent guitarist in his own right - seemed completely lacking in confidence and energy compared to the one we'd just been watching?

The Blockheads footage was superb. I hadn't seen that before. And the Stiff doc was definitely worth a second look.

I miss the days when the music scene was full of characters like this lot.

Like was said on the film, they weren't the same after Wilco left.

Here's one for posterity.

Agreed it was an excellent documentary and also agree the the Sight and Sound concert was a bit of a let down with Wilko missing although the other guitarist did a good job it just 'wasn't the same'

The Blockheads gig was really good - I had only seen S&D&RR from that gig so seeing the rest of the show was a real bonus.

Oil City Confidential has to be one of the best rockumentaries I have seen.

It's been some years since I delved into the Feelgoods - probably a coupla years before Lee died I was quite a fan of their stuff but like a lot of R & B based stuff it has a somewhat limited lifespan on your turntable before you move on. Therefore, thanks to this great programme I am now 'rediscovering' the Feelgoods and it's great!
