Dr. Feelgood On The Road: Maximum R'n'B
Andy Childs, ZigZag, February 1976
THE DRESSING room is a scene of semi-chaos and ordered confusion... packets of half-eaten sandwiches, cans of lager, guitar cases, cigarette remains... the usual décor. The lead singer, taller than the others with a constant 'just got out of bed' look on his face, has just donned what was once a white suit but is now a dishevelled, filthy, stained garment that looks as though it could have belonged to some South American gun runner.
