Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - The Cover Of Rolling Stone | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@shadow1674]

Rolling Stone was a big magazine back in the day and to get the your face on the cover of the rolling Stone was huge😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@melliehobson8299]

OR your ILLUSTRATION!!!

[@davidlionheart2438]

"back in the day"??? It's still published every month just like it has been since 1967.

[@michaela8706]

They have other serious hits. "Sharing the Night Together", "Sexy Eyes", "Sylvia's Mother", "Only Sixteen", "When Your In Love With A Beautiful Woman". They did get on the cover of the Magazine but in Caricature form. Thanks and God Bless.

[@mikematusek4233]

This came out in the early 70's when $10K was great money. They had fun. Not long after this hit, and they were put on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Try when You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman or Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk.

[@lindseybrewer888]

The Rolling Stone was a magazine back in the day. If you made on cover you had finally made it.

[@kerrycronin256]

It's still around I believe

[@davidlionheart2438]

"back in the day"??? It's still published every month just like it has been since 1967.

[@laraismyname821]

They did finally get on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. But it wasn't their picture--it was a caricature drawing (like what you'd get done by a street artist at the beach). But you can still tell it's them. Rolling Stone is still around & still very relevant in the music world. They're just a little more online now. But they're still active.

[@terri2494]

Only three of the seven band members were in the picture. Also, the band’s name didn’t appear. Next to the picture it just says, “What’s-Their-Names Make The Cover”. But they did make the cover, which back then was huge. My guess is they weren’t the only ones who bought that issue for that very reason.

[@ed.z.]

Saw them live. Went by myself. What a party. The best time, ever. A true hilarious riot.

[@lorrainemiller688]

I saw them in concert during this era, it was a Freakin' blast-- if you know, you know! 😉🤣

[@Ol_Blue]

Brings back memories...humor made them a hit, and it got them on the cover! They actually have quite a few popular songs.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

it’s meant to be funny with that make-shift of a guitar solo. Ray Sawyer says, “Aw, that’s beautiful.” 😂 These guys had fun.

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

I believe the song was by Shel Silverstein. He was a good poet, song writer and some really good children's books )

[@terri2494]

Listen to “Sylvia’s Mother” next to hear a completely different side to them.

[@edprzydatek8398]

Absolutely!

[@rachelbrachman1510]

"Carry Me, Carrie" has always been one of my favorites.

[@charlesstraight5499]

The rolling stones are a band. The rolling stone is the music magazine a very major music magazine. Everyone in the music industry wanted their picture on the cover of the rolling stone music magazine.

[@Zeb-gb2uk]

Sylvia's Mother great song from these guys. Rolling stone actually relented and put them on the cover of their magazine but didn't actually put thier picture but a characture of them 😅

[@edprzydatek8398]

Yes, Sylvia's Mother!

[@wombatwilly1002]

You're picking great stuff.The Rolling Stone was the top Music magazine since the 60's and you were said to have made it if you were featured on the cover.

[@terri2494]

He just made me feel like I’m a thousand years old when he said that he had no idea what they were talking about!

[@edprzydatek8398]

​@@terri2494 I hear ya.

[@SnuSlavin]

Ray the singer went on to sing in Vegas....VERY EXCELLENT VOICE.....the guitar player went to Australia and was very popular there...

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

That audio is the studio recording. The video is probably from the Midnight Special. Someone did a great job mixing them. This band so much fun to watch. I love "comedy" music.

[@ed.z.]

A magazine was a paper publication. Available at every corner newsstand. A newsstand was a place to buy newspapers, magazines, gum, candy, cigarettes…. A corner was…. Never mind…

[@eraycer6860]

Lol

[@BridgetBailey47]

LOVE Dr. Hook !! I’ve been waiting for this! The Rolling Stone was a rock and roll magazine about all the favorite rock and roll bands. You knew you’d made it when you got your picture on the cover. You’ve got to hear A Little Bit More by them 👍 and soo many more! ❤️😍

[@l.l4456]

They really did get their picture on the cover of the rolling stone!

[@melliehobson8299]

Yeah, that's what he said!!! You'll NEVER tire of this one, promise! I got my poor old gray-haired daddy drivin' my limousine!!

[@melliehobson8299]

Rolling Stone is THE music mag.

[@827dusty]

"The Rolling Stone" magazine was almost entirely devoted to the Rock Band, and artist news of the day. Who was coming out with a new album and when, who just got busted for dope, or who was getting sued by someone for doing something crazy etc. It was actually a really informative magazine for us Rock fans, to get the inside scoop on the crazy stuff happening in the world of Rock music. If you got your picture on the cover of an issue, it could mean millions of dollars and superstardom. You could go from nobody knowing who you were, to everyone knowing you the next day. This is just a funny little song about them wanting to be on the cover, which after this song, I think they were.

[@BridgetBailey47]

It’s a fun song, they’re a fun group to watch. They had a good time on stage.

[@biggmaqq]

They finally did get their picture on the cover of the magazine after this song came out. They had several other hits. I especially recommend "Sylvia's Mother."

[@bobschenkel7921]

As a few others have noted "Rolling Stone" was a big time music/political magazine started in the 60's and I think its still being published today. Eventually, Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show did get their picture on the cover of the "Rolling Stone". As a drawing. Also by Dr. Hook: "Sylvia's Mother".

[@SaintDuck]

You're hitting a lot of my fav's lately. Great minds think alike.

[@827dusty]

What a great old song. It was partly serious, and part comedy. Great lyrics.

[@charlesstraight5499]

The rolling Stone was a music magazine and as a musician. When you're picture finally landed on the cover of the rolling Stone, you knew you had finally made it. And of course, they got their picture on the cover of The Rolling Stones. Many times they're a very good group and wait till you're dig into a bit. They got some really cool songs..

[@AP-gb3eh]

Spoofing the whole Rock band superstar crazy. They were a great group that had a wicked sense of humor

[@philowens7680]

It's a great satirical song. They were a great band. This is a typical performance.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

They finally did on the Cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. It’s still in circulation.

[@melliehobson8299]

The long and short of this was Rolling Stone afterwards put a cartoon illustration of them on the cover!!!

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

I Got Stoned And I Missed It is another great funny song. But Sylvia's Mother showed how they can really sing it's a beautiful song

[@27thangel23]

Greetings from Canada.Try "Sylvia's Mother" by them. Great tune. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

[@jlcutright0723]

Saw them in concert at Knott's Berry Farm around the same time this was recorded. Fun memory!

[@leannmiller7153]

Google Rolling Stone magazine, the covers are absolutely iconic.

[@timbeatty8411]

I'm going to buy five copies for my mother. That always made me laugh when I was a kid

[@scottjw0219]

Ray Sawyer was Dr. Hook. Dennis LoCorriere was the guy on the acoustic guitar.

[@melliehobson8299]

This is a funny but wonderful song. Very tongue in cheek. I'm a visual artist, so I sing, "gonna see my ILLUSTRATION on the cover of The Rolling Stone!!!"

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

Omg it was a huge magazine for Music if you got on the cover you know your made it. This song got them on the cover😂😂

[@billofalltrades2633]

A great band! Great song lol great reaction! Rolling Stone Magazine

[@LanetteKardokus]

this was a big hit that my grandma wouldn't let me listen to =in the 70son the radio

[@rickthoma6428]

Fun band.

[@tchampagne1494]

Rolling Stone magazine is still an important magazine today, but back in the day, it was a magazine dedicated to music news. And some relevant news of the day. Rolling Stone I understand did a cover with them as caricatures.

[@lindseybrewer888]

They have a lot of hits. My fav is A Little Bit More. They have a wide range in their songs

[@diannthomas5653]

I loved your reaction. Haven’t laughed so much in a while.

[@hibhibb5429]

These guys are Awesome!!! "Sexy Eyes", "Sylvia's Mother", "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" "Sharing the Night Together". Dennis Locorriere is the singer with the long beard mustache, George Cummings is the lead guitarist with the bass voice (also founded and came up with the name of the group), Ray Sawyer is the singer with the eye patch. They're all Incredible! Ray suffered an eye injury after he was involved in a car accident. He sadly, passed away in 2018 (82). RIP Ray.

[@melliehobson8299]

Embroidery on your jeans was SUPER HIP in those days!!

[@beeseewill2407]

Dr.Hook was a fun band.They had some nice tunes."Sexy Eyes","Sharing the night together".They had that special sound.

[@shadow1674]

Far out you made my day you make me laugh😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

You are getting it ,bit by bit.....it's a classic ! LOL :)

[@ivansavoie3190]

Sylvia's Mother should be next. Great reaction

[@JivebunnyFerris]

Rolling Stone is a magazine that prompted bsnd

[@julieford8788]

I think they sang this on The Midnight Special at some point.

[@JonasLindberg-iy8hn]

I like you Graet personality

[@gregroberts8240]

rolling stone was THE premier magazine for all things rock and roll. being on the cover was like making the cover of time magazine!

[@jeffdennison3347]

Rolling stone magazine that every band knew they made it when they were on the cover.

[@loribochantin9257]

Rolling Stone is a magazine and to appear on the cover was fantastic.

[@kengunter6903]

That was a great reaction.

[@Laura_Martin42]

One of my favorite groups, I even saw them in concert! Carrie Me, Carrie and the Queen of the Silver Dollar are favorites of mine.

[@rachelbrachman1510]

A few more hilarious songs by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show...."Get My Rocks Off", "I Got Stoned and I Missed It" and "Freaking at the Freaker's Ball". These guys were absolutely fabulous!

[@philchurch1115]

Thank You for taking me back to High School, heard that song many times in the mid 1970's.😁

[@craigwells3655]

As with most clips, they're miming to the studio version, which may have taken many takes to get right. Brilliant energy,though and smart lyrics from a group that doesn't take themselves too seriously.

[@Karen_in_Canada]

This was a great kight-hearted song that everyone knew all the words to. Great for singing around a campfire type deal. It was just fun. And everyone knew the magazine Rolling Stone.

[@allensanders5535]

Rolling Stone was a big magazine of you's you back in the day and i think it's still being published. and yes this song got them on the cover of magazine 131.

[@crackers562]

Dr Hook also had many great serious numbers

[@jmweed1861]

I Saw All the Great Bands of the 60s and 70s Live, but the Best Concert ever was Dr Hook. It was hard to tell who was more High, the Band or the Audience? They were actually All Great Musicians, but they had Fun playing live. This is a "Spoof" on the Glamorous Life of Rock Stars...The Rolling Stone, was the Premiere Rock Magazine, getting on the Cover was Big Time,,which they eventually did...try the following songs by Dr Hook: I Got Stoned and I Missed It, Everyone's Making it But Me, Sylvia's Mother, She was Only 16, Queen of the Silver Dollar, Freaking out at the Freakers Ball....

[@cyrilmauras4247]

A happy product of the hippie generation with a southern tint!

[@SuperVonKiller]

Check out Dr Hook doing Carry Me and Sylvia's Mother from Shels houseboat... They're high as kites but still perfect in their performance! Amazing to watch!

[@karlsmith2570]

5:32 Basically, Ace, they'd wrote this song as a way of showing their goofy side

[@pegajense]

😂😂😂We all laughed when this came out 😂😂😂

[@karlsmith2570]

Hey Ace, in answer to your question about the title of this song Rolling Stone was a magazine that centered around the music and entertainment industries

[@johnpatton7533]

they were very drunk for this performance and most lol. After this they did make the cover and the drawing of them had the caption "what's their name makes the cover" lol

[@vellaropedart9190]

Greatest guitar solo ever!😂😂😂

[@Brandi6666]

That mofo said, ah thats beautiful😂😂😂😂

[@markowens2766]

Not confidence, they just didn’t give a shit.

[@melliehobson8299]

@markowens2766 oh, I think they did. Just as illustrators still do to this day.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The hat guy Ray Sawyer sadly passed away. Try Levitate, Let the Loose end drag, i'm a millionaire. They had a lot of fun.

[@williamabrams9882]

Pretty good song!

[@sirmister4411]

The have some great tunes. Give them some more time on your channel I’ll watch it. I still listen to them all the time

[@Howdyall]

If you can react to their Midnight Special performance singing When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman, you'll love it!

[@mamared56]

One of the funniest songs, ever!

[@jrobb3823]

Big time back in the day. Check out Sylvia's mother

[@sidneycrossley7802]

Look up the video with covers of the rolling stone magazines. Profound.

[@debraschiro6234]

Oh I love that song but if you want to hear another song from them try Sylvia's Mother it will make you cry but thanks for the blast from the past😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@billy9497able]

This is a fun song by them but they do make deeper music like “Sylvia’s Mother”

[@charlescampbell6148]

When music was fun.

[@bumperu]

Sylvia's Mother.

[@SnuSlavin]

Do "Sylvia's Mother"....more serious song and got plenty radio play..

[@GeezerTony]

Sylvia's Mother............

[@tandaknights9047]

“I got stoned and I missed it”, “Penicillin Penny”, “ Acapulco Goldie” so many questionable and funny songs

[@allendixon7700]

I want a party with Katie man.Katie could kick a bucketn

[@allendixon7700]

It's wonderful wonderful.We just like the single matter crackhead

[@bowtiefidenine]

Check out Donovan song Mellow Yellow 😊

[@michaelthornton311]

I assume you can tell how musically inclined the band is to understand the guitar "solo" was a deliberate joke. Also, the "teenage groupies" and "indian guru" were calling out other popular bands of the era.

[@jeffdennison3347]

check out the covers yourself as they are on the internet

[@funkmeisterB-5000]

3:13-LOL..You got all hyped up for the sloppiest and shortest guitar solo in music history!

[@bella-xp7qd]

I think they were making fun of the magazine. Rollling Stone magazine was huge back in the good times. They eventually made the cover, but it was in caricature and not the whole band. A few years before the band's formation, Ray 1:28 Sawyer lost his right eye in a car accident; Sawyer wore an eyepatch that made him resemble the Peter Pan villain Captain Hook, which served as the inspiration for the Dr. Hook moniker.

[@allendixon7700]

I'll take this Katie girl Katie.I'll tiger, you know.Yes, sounds like my kind of woman there.Now yeah.Yeah.It's doing it wrong.Surfaces like a single mother crack at it probably by now

[@dougellis8904]

This is not the soundtrack from this live video. The audio is the original recording over dubbed. The are crazy if you watch the actual live performances. A lot of live band videos are being butchered by people over laying the record versions. You should realy dive deep down the Dr. Hook rabbit hole to actually enjoy them.

[@Shabenn]

That guitar solo got ya! Check out Sharing the night together, if you haven't already.

[@davidlionheart2438]

He's seriously never heard of Rolling Stone magazine, one of the biggest, most important, most popular magazines in the world since 1967. THE magazine of the music industry and he's never accidentally seen it on the shelf in a grocery store or book store or anywhere they sell magazines. Never even heard it spoken of. Jesus H. Christ.
