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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
