I never really saw Dr Hook until I found them here and I have been playing their songs over and over. I LOVE watching Ray!!! And Dennis has such a beautiful voice. I love the whole group. They are so real and down to earth and they look like their having so much fun onstage. I love it! Im so sad that Ray isnt alive to see how many people loved him. I hope we hear more from Dennis.
Oh I love Dr.Hook they are sooo awesome love ❤️ their music 🎶 🎶🎵🎼🎶🥰songs love Dennis his voice beautiful voice I listen to Dr.Hook CD always I love all the songs but my favorite one is Sharing The Night Together 🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🥀Beautiful🥀These Guy's were always so involved in everything that they felt close to and so creative in the music industry with us the fans and people in need. I love these Guy's so much they've been here for me and we've never met but my 1st Concert was Dr Hook I was 13yrs old in the 70s in Atlanta Ga!🥀✌🥀☝️
Love these guys. RIP Ray. By the way, the Australian song he's talking about is "Wild Colonial Boy" which they sang on The Don Lane Show, it's on RU-vid.
this is around the time dennis stopped writing fun songs and started going radio. The fin onstage stopped as well and that's why I liked them. The 70s dr hook is the best and they had so much fun onstage. One of the main reason why ray left the band.
ust watched the band's video of "Cover of the Rolling Stone" after watching this...and, whoa, in just a mere 7 years every band member looked so different, the long hair, bushy mustaches, hippie clothes, bell-bottoms, etc...were all replaced with a much more clean cut look. They were still a bunch of fun-loving, humble guys though....different on the outside but still the same on the inside.
I like how they said they work with "retarded" kids and no one freaked out. We have become way too afraid of WORDS in this country. People insist upon fixing the WORDS, yet continue to ignore the CONDITIONS. Like Carlin said (paraphrasing) "If we stop calling it PTSD and go back to SHELL SHOCK maybe the vets would get the help they need."
Never forget hearing them interviewed on (I think) London's Capital Radio c1976. They told how Alice Cooper once cancelled a show because his guillotine had gone missing, then of how almost all their own gear had gone astray once, bar one guitar, but they somehow did the gig anyway. Real troupers, born showmen.
My Uncle Rustle, more Tar; my Mom don't worry about it. Just fill the hole with Frosting. But as I wake up every morning I love the sound of the Bird's Picking @ my brain ...
:-) I never knew that a young Robin Williams was in Dr Hook! (see 01:02) - kind of a career synergy with his later appearance in the Peter Pan movie battling Captain Hook! ;-)
Cover of the Rolling Stone ,funny song,on a Dr Hook interview it was said that song was banned,it must be a petty deal,I still hear it on the radio,sound effects,too.
It's Me Again Margaret you took the time to Leave Me Lucille they finally found someone to George Jones who's gonna take their place and it's called Midland and public keys and Kid Rock and George Strait and does this and we'll get to the lightning Taylor. Strike that she's gone Hollywood hope I don't go Grove on the Rio Grande River I got to go or Thanks 🎇🎇🏆🎑🎈🎗️🎊🎃🎃🎁02+2+27=/1..=4+4=8080*65%
Dennis says as 'cliche as it sounds' we are all FRIENDS...but always fails to mention names from the band as it moves along through the years...sounds like money and legal shit wedged itself in between these Friends...sucks a bit in a way
Excellent band...too bad the Quality of their performances got a bit Sloppy when they got carried away with the drugs! a few Favorites - Medley, A lil bit More, Sharing the Nite together
Tony DeArco. Their performances never got sloppy when they smoked a bit of weed or did a few lines of coke or whatever they took. It made them funnier to watch and they in turn had fun. Can you imagine being on the road going from country to country for 300 days of the year for 13 years? Youd need to have somethin to “get ya thru the day”. It was more the drinking before the gigs that got them a little merry. A coupla bourbons in the hotel then standing under red hot spotlights makes anyone sweat. Alot of it was part of the act as well. Alot of it depended on the type of audience and even what country they were playing in. Sloppy, No f en way. And remember, everyone smoked a bit of gunga back in the seventies, and a hell of alot of performers were using a lot of smack too. These blokes as far as i know didnt. A bit of weed, a coupla uppers and a bit of grog. Good on em. They will always rock. And ill always be a fan. I always wonder if Dennis watches and reads any of these comments. Would be great if he wrote a story of the bands life from the beginning to now. Would love it he replied to my ten cents worth of comments. Come back down under, so we can hear one of the, if not the best singing voices and performers the world has ever seen/heard.
Billy was your dad? Wow you must have some great stories. He looked like such a character . Well you would have to be to be in Dr Hook @@clavesseptem7223
