You are so very correct. They were extremely talented. Their funny songs were awesome, and their serious songs were just as good. They clearly loved performing together.
They weren't just great entertainers, they were professional and brilliant musicians. They could joke and mess around without missing a note. Love them
What do you mean, 'no pretty boys'. Dennis is gorgeous & well, Ray is lot older than Dennis, but he was not bad looking when he was younger & had no eye patch
pure music no politics no bragging what they have no drama no complaining about how how there job is. there just a bunch of guys having fun making great pure music that doesn't get made anymore
Say what you want about Dr.Hook. You can't deny that they were a one-of-a-kind band that definitely knew how to have FUN! I really REALLY miss these guys.
in Catholic Church there's a saints day 6 January st raymond means of sinners and prisoners. so dreading 6 January always as I found out something that day.
If today’s bands would have as much fun as these guys did and put on a performance like this, they might stick around longer then 3 seconds. Sure do miss Dr Hook
Mom and I are still sitting here listening to Dr. Hook she's swaying with the music and singing, soon to turn 78 yrs. old, she raised six all of us on this music, wouldn't give it up for a million dollars!!
I am an old lady having a ball with this bunch, they had fun and could make beautiful music. Shame I had to get old and they die before I discovered them!
My father and his mates lived and worked on the railways out in the bush in Australia and it was hell doing such work. They often slacked off on the job, took ttheir guitars, harmonicas, slabs of beer to work and hid these in the forests as it was illegal to drink home made beer and moonshine on the job. They sometimes took me to work with them and they get quite drunk and sit in these old bark huts the men constructed to shelter from searing hot sun and I often heard them playing and singing this sing. They'd invent extra verses, dome of them somewhat lewd and crude. It'a wonder the fright trains could even run on the rail tracks which were in a state of desr3pair, fue to too much roll8ng in sweet baby's arms, instead of doing hard yakka, I suspect. But it was good fun.Though there were a few alcohol induced industrial accidents as a result, with men losing limbs etc.
Im only 32 and was fortunate enough to have parents that turned me on to good music (see above) and I'm pretty young to be saying this but younger bands need to take note...this is how you put on a show...
🖤🥀Beautiful! I've always loved this song and these Guy's I was fortunate enough to see them in Concert in Atlanta Ga in the 70s I was 13yrs old I've loved them all but when I saw them they were Amazing even tho the ppl unplugged the power of but us the fans were crazy and started yelling at the dumb asses & they turned the power back on. They thought Dr Hook was smoking marijuana and it was the audience lmbo but true so true🥀✌🥀☝️ 🥀RIP Ray Sawyer We Love You 🥀🕊🥀😲
Dr Hook were Brilliant - great voices and great songs. You never tire of listening to them. They had lots of fun. They really should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - shame they are not.
Can you name another band who had this much fun performing together? You can see how much they all truly liked each other. So many bands are so choreographed now that they look like robots. If you bought tickets to all the concerts of one band every concert would be identicle. Not these guys!!! It's so sad these guy will never be together on stage again. 😭 I'd like to say rest in peace Ray, but I know wherever you are you are having a blast just like you always did!!!!!!!!🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠😇
TOTALLY amazing group of friends just having the time of their lives and making the universal pleasures of our lives even better because they could and for that I THANK YOU GUYS VERY VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK LOVE YA
🥀Amazing song! Dennis is so lost on country music as I was growing up I was into Rock n Roll ect: but my Dad was lead guitarist & inducted into the Country music hall of fame and honor in 1987 singer song writer now I'd listen to country music at get together's family reunion but I was into other music. I was like an only child because I have 2 sister's that were older than me married having their own families b4 I was outta early grammar. Yep Dennis love 2 hear ya playing that harp it's priceless school🥀✌🥀☝️
That's the way I like it-Good ol times...R.I.P Ray Sawyer!!! Great music-Great Show...! Great time-I wos a Kid...Blues Harp-Is there Someone still playing in These Days?!?
🥀Beautiful🥀Some ppl thought they were a Carney act not me I love everything about them. Once you witness them on stage it's an experience you'll never forget. Dennis Loccoriere lead singer is still going Strong and I'm so thankful for that🥀✌🥀☝️
Are your joking me. Cant believe my ear bins… what I’m seeing is what every wants to see at a concert… but it’s coming to your home through U-TUBE OMG 😱 this is a band to be proud of as they were true to them selves and the listeners…..
This is for all the childish comments about how high they are : that was a major part of their act. Name of band is Dr. HOOK AND THE MEDICINE SHOW. They were amazing musicians and got a kick out of making people think they were stoned.
This song just breaks me 💔 we lost our baby girl 24/12/2019 , and I discovered this song and Ray's sorrow behind it , Thanks for recording it Ray, I play it every year in memory of all ' children ' passing away before their parents 💔
🥀Amazing Song I love it! 🥀Happy Birthday Dennis Locorriere and I hope you had a wonderful day🥀 I posted this yesterday on another one of yalls song's. God Bless you🥀✌🥀☝️
They may have been heavy into drugs (but who wasnt at this point in time) they are still a great band that deserved much more recognition than what they got
These guys never got the recognition they deserved. They were true musicians, singers, entertainers, etc...
U got that right for sure
Most of their hits were written specifically for 12 yr old girls
es verdad❤
You are so very correct. They were extremely talented. Their funny songs were awesome, and their serious songs were just as good. They clearly loved performing together.
@@nathandodge665good drugs dumbass they were the most versital band ever they could do every style of music don't confuse them with Taylor swift
Can't feel bad when these fellas are playing
Every single one of the band could sing lead equally well,they were all great musicians but most of all they had FUN!!!.
no - they had LOADS OF FUN !!! 😜
To me, it seems obvious that to act so crazy and yet sound so good musically takes tremendous talent.
You got that right!
@@carolcostello5695 ciao amico! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
Well said!
Gut spielen können viele Bands, aber um so perfekt schlecht zu spielen muss man genial sein 👍👍👍
Was für eine geile Truppe❤😂
So enjoying this today!! Whoever doesn’t enjoy this.. I don’t want to know you! 😂🎶❤️🎶
They weren't just great entertainers, they were professional and brilliant musicians. They could joke and mess around without missing a note. Love them
Stoned to the max, still able to remember chords and lyrics, and having fun! Everything a band should be. :D
As high as a kite and ten times as silly. I aint never seen anyone play a tamborine like that!
They did more drugs then any band back then!
@@homer1738that’s what they wanted everybody to think. You can’t do this if you are stoned. It an act.
Give this band a break! As I understand it they are Vietnam vets! Lucky to come home alive!....have some respect!xxx
Dennis locorriere can and still does
If Dr Hooks goal was to make the fans happy they sure did succeed in life and continue to do so
No prettyboys here. Just real raw talent. Entertainment. And downhomefootstompin. Music. Howd I miss this over the years.
What do you mean, 'no pretty boys'. Dennis is gorgeous & well, Ray is lot older than Dennis, but he was not bad looking when he was younger & had no eye patch
I don't think anyone could have more fun than they did!
pure music no politics no bragging what they have no drama no complaining about how how there job is. there just a bunch of guys having fun making great pure music that doesn't get made anymore
Dennis, I’ll always love you in that denim blue shirt 💖
i wasnt even born than and i mis those times
Say what you want about Dr.Hook. You can't deny that they were a one-of-a-kind band that definitely knew how to have FUN! I really REALLY miss these guys.
Yeah havin fun and makin money doin. They were the best
And they. Used real musical instruments. Instead of electronic gadgetry
And that Dennis. A real ham. Funny.
Ray loved music and put in his all for it ..the best band ever !!! Rip
No band ever had more fun performing than these gentlemen!! Ray will be missed.😧
rays never stop they just keep beaming on throughout
rays never stop they just keep beaming on throughout
Mike Leikam Ray and Bill both gone now. Both were great.
@@donnanash5057 thank you hope you didn't take to hard !!!
in Catholic Church there's a saints day 6 January st raymond means of sinners and prisoners. so dreading 6 January always as I found out something that day.
Great band. Very underrated. Really like their music
I don’t care if they are high or not.
That’s having clean 100% pure fun & they aren’t hurting anyone! 😎👍🏻
I feel the same way!
SO TRUE!!!
Amen! Love Dr Hook All my adult life nearly "69yrs of Uninterrupted Love"
🥀Amen to that🥀✌
Now if we can just get them into the rock hall of shame.
LOL.....Sooooo stoned, but never miss a beat. Still my favourite band, ever.
If today’s bands would have as much fun as these guys did and put on a performance like this, they might stick around longer then 3 seconds. Sure do miss Dr Hook
This is what the world needs more of right now!
Dr Hook band always so fun to watch. Sadly nothing in todays time like them.
Todays music doesnt compare to much of anything
Love these fellers!! We will never see the likes of them again!! God bless y'all boy's!!
That's what playing music is about, enjoy n have fun,n entertain
Mom and I are still sitting here listening to Dr. Hook she's swaying with the music and singing, soon to turn 78 yrs. old, she raised six all of us on this music, wouldn't give it up for a million dollars!!
Even when they were high as kites, they were superb!
Having fun performing live on stage. Wonderful !!!!!
I am an old lady having a ball with this bunch, they had fun and could make beautiful music. Shame I had to get old and they die before I discovered them!
I loved them, and still do ❤️🎶❤️🎙️🎸✨
Wow! I've never seen this before and it just adds to the greatness of this AWESOME band!!!
This is one of my grandfathers songs ❤ i love they covered it
What a fantastic bloody group loved them since I was 18 67 now.
Love these guys ❤️ thank you oh thank You thank You
Good old Dr Hook making another day AWESOME
You can call them what you want. I call them Damn fine musicians and entertainers
Zz top blues
Giod
Damn straight
Ray ,Dennis and the whole band know what having fun means.
Their big rock singers. they got golden fingers and their loved everywhere they go.

The 166 people that disliked this must be extremely miserable at their core.
Thay might be def
Ohhhhh they are lol

Are your joking me. Cant believe my ear bins… what I’m seeing is what every wants to see at a concert… but it’s coming to your home through U-TUBE OMG 😱 this is a band to be proud of as they were true to them selves and the listeners…..

are you stoned
I think maybe Billy really was sometimes
@@sharonsimpson4867 They all were but problaby not as much as they made out
They actually don't appear high to me in the least
@@angelika_munkastrap4634 Really? Look at Billy sometimes with the beatific smile
Awesome!!
This song just breaks me 💔 we lost our baby girl 24/12/2019 , and I discovered this song and Ray's sorrow behind it , Thanks for recording it Ray, I play it every year in memory of all ' children ' passing away before their parents 💔

You'll never find this kind of talent. In todays music.
Se nota que disfrutaban lo que hacían, por eso me encantan!... aún!
Good quality fun never goes out of style
They may have been heavy into drugs (but who wasnt at this point in time) they are still a great band that deserved much more recognition than what they got
Damn, what a performance. That’s absolutely awesome 👏
