"A rightly demanded encore saw him return to the stage with Dr. John joining them on guitar (another of his many talents) for a birthday rendition of 'Johnny B Goode' and 'Route 66' ending the night on an appropriately Rock and Roll theme. With an emotional dedication of the night to a fellow cancer patient, Wilko left the stage to huge applause and much cheering. Hopefully to meet up again with Mr. Daltrey for another round of recording. So that’s Roger Wilko and not out then."
That was part of our take at London's Royal Albert Hall back in September 2017, and on Monday, John Peter Wilkinson, better known as the legendary British guitar hero and founding member of the formidable Dr. Feelgood, Wilko Johnson, sadly passed away at the age of 75, and today's 'If You Want Me, You've Got Me' Video Of The Day, filmed at that very same gig, is dedicated in Wilko's memory.
