Stupidity

Stupidity is a 1976 live album by Dr. Feelgood that captures the band’s raw, high-energy pub rock and blues rock sound. Performed by the original lineup led by Lee Brilleaux and Wilko Johnson, the recording foregrounds Johnson’s choppy, percussive guitar and Brilleaux’s gritty vocals over a tight, driving rhythm section, delivering concise, R&B-rooted songs with a rough-edged live immediacy. The album is significant for documenting the band’s unvarnished stage presence and for exemplifying the pub rock aesthetic that helped set the scene for the British punk movement.
