The Feelies were the reason that I started writing music in the ’80s. I was fortunate to see them at the 9:30 and a few other places, and they were as great live as their recordings were. I never really got into the Crazy Rhythms album, but the three following were and are some of the best songs written. Thanks.

Great story. Often there is value in spending a little time with an older person – and then the coolest stories and … Good thing, someone gifted you that book and Jon was still around

One of the few bands I would see every chance I got. I still do, saw one of the Maxwell’s shows and the 7/4 outdoor show. They have lost nothing, tremendous energy and spirit. Thank you Bill for being willing to do this again. I hope there are more shows coming, but I will take whatever they are willing to do. There are recordings of a couple of the recent shows up at http://www.myctaper.com.

Thanks for the great story. I just saw one of the reunion shows at Maxwell’s in Hoboken and it was mind-blowingly wonderful. It was as if these folks were playing for the last 17 years – super tight and in top form. Even the new songs fit right into the set. I can understand (some of) the band members desire to drop off of the pop music treadmill, but I hope the new songs the Feelies played point to a new recording in the future. And then maybe a few more shows?

Nice interview!

I’m actually traveling from Chicago to Hoboken for their July 1st show (I’m promised myself I’d see them live should a reunion including Mr. Million ever occur).

What a great article. Bill, I had the privelege, yes, PRIVILEGE, to see the Feelies in Virginia and DC 3 or 4 times, including a show where you openned for Lou Reed in DC. However, the shows at the now-defunct Library in Richmond, VA will remain strongly in my memories. You are missed, yet honored.

OS FEELIES SÃO A MAIOR BANDA DO MUNDO

Wow…does that bring back memories.

The Feelies were a remarkable live band. I interview them a couple of times in the early ’80s…at the house in Haledon (I forget if it was Glen or Bill’s). That quote in the article may have been from one of the things I published in NY Rocker. That was a long time ago.
