Julien Temple, has done a very good job on the Feelgoods. I saw the documentary on TV so I pre-orderd my copy of the DVD when It first came out. The first part of the DVD plays fine but on the second part the picture breakes up now this has happend on the DVD that I got on Amazon and three copies from other well known shops. I don't think Amazon is at fault in this case It is possible that the prodution team accidently used some really bad DVD's which is a shame so that's why I gave it four star's Ps I would like to know if there are any decent copies out there to be had.This is an exceptional document that deserves to be preserved.

A mate of mine sneered when I raved about Dr Feelgood. Then he watched this, and now he's "obsessed with those Life On Mars-lookin' dudes!" Which is the reaction most people have.
I have listened to Dr Feelgood for over 30 years, returning to them periodically, always happily surprised at how well the music had stood the test of time. Quality is quality: simple as that. And now there is this wonderful film.
This is far most interesting than most rock docs, not just alternating shots of footage/interview ad nauseum. It's intelligent, HILARIOUS, moving, and a giant piece of work. I can't recommend this highly enough. I have spent 3 decades being occasionally mocked, enduring blank looks and head-scratching, and confusion with Dr Hook (??????!!!!) whenever I mentioned this band.
Maybe, MAYBE now my life will be a little easier.
If you think you know the history of rock and roll, and you don't know Dr Feelgood, you don't know nothin'. Time to fact up.

This is a dead-set 5-star job! I've loved Dr Feelgood from the start so this full-on insight is a real special, celebrating the band's straight ahead, no bends, style of R&B and the rootsy image to match. A brilliantly crafted film that portrays all this and so much more. Humour and pathos abound and in their interviews the lads come across as great blokes, salty characters.
Not enough to affect my 5-star rating but my copy has a rather disconcerting level difference between the under-recorded interviews and the very powerful level of the musical segments.
I know....it's designed to show off the band's live impact but I'd be happier with a more even sound level and crank it up for myself. Anyone else of the same view?
Whatever, it's a terrific film about a wonderful band. Congratulations to all concerned, 100% recommended!
