Dr. Feelgood is a very underrated rock band (and a very overrated Motley Crue song) that has been tearing up the live scene since the 1970s. Catching a recent show of theirs only last year, it’s apparent that the band hasn’t lost anything.
Their music is typical late ‘60s rock, mixed with a little blues. If you could take the Stones and Zeppelin and roll them into one, while shaving ZZ Top’s beards, you’d have Dr. Feelgood, and their name is truly apt, as that’s exactly how you feel while at their show: Good.
Many of today’s shows have fire and smoke and flickering lights, but Dr. Feelgood’s live set is just a few stage lights highlighting the band members, and all four members playing the same music they’ve been playing for decades. Though with new band members over the years, even the same songs aren’t the “same.”
They’re classified as “pub rock,” but they have much more of a bluesy look and feel when they play. They have the energy of a legit hard rock band, and that certainly carries over to the audience. If anything’s “pub” about a Dr. Feelgood show at all, it’s that the atmosphere is usually that up-close and personal. They don’t play many huge arenas. You can find them doing smaller concert halls with tracks that fill up the space well, such as “Hoochie Coochie Man” and “Going Back Home.”
