Behind The Vinyl: "Riverboat Fantasy" with David Wilcox

[@butler-macdonald8351]

It's 2023 and I'm going to a David Wilcox concert this weekend. Life truly is a riverboat fantasy lol

[@steve-from-toronto]

David Wilcox was so unique, so different from any other Canadian acts at the time, it’s amazing that he was Canadian. Was big with the Grade 12/13 and university crowds back in the 80s. Guy looks amazing for his age.

[@scotti.6433]

Stop saying "was", he's not dead you know, in fact, he's got a daughter who's quite accomplished also.

[@79tazman]

Wilcox is bad ass I only saw him once and got hooked I gotta see him again because he does a great show

[@visualdragon]

David Wilcox is the reason I play guitar.

[@kelseykciuk7809]

He is truly inspiring

[@richardthompson6366]

David Wilcox is the reason I like to hear David Wilcox play guitar.

[@applythesalt4461]

I have this exact Vinyl, has all his best songs! Took a while to find. My dad loved David wilcox, I love him, my daughter loves him, and I hope that carries on. This is music

[@twentyoneHz]

Def a grail of a record!

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

I was handed a cassette in the mid80’s Loved this ever since

[@Bonkrr]

A total national treasure that never gets the respect he deserves. Incredible guitarist and simply "Too Cool".

[@imannonymous7707]

I love this! Thank you for highlighting a Canadian treasure. One day he will get the respect he deserved all along. He took the blues and made them his own, in fine fashion...thats Rocknroll baby! Good choice people

[@sameoldeh]

David Wilcox,unique voice & so many great songs. See him perform if you get a chance people.

[@michaelelliot2966]

I have seen him four times all in Kitchener at Blues Festival and he never disappoints Me each time I saw him he was just incredible each time better then the last I saw him by far one of my personal favorites

[@fazooleq1523]

I think I wore my cassette out repeatig this song. I love David Wilcox. My wife and I saw him at a small venue in Niagara Falls - man he was so much fun. I've been trying to find him in concert again ever since.

[@roguewarr4662]

i'm in my 60's now and still love to play his hits ..hooked from the 80s ..live in florida now ,and it's a shame how little he is known her...but his songs put me back to my toronto hamilton ,sparrow lake days .

[@bradstoybox8811]

He's a great writer and performer who I'm going to see again this summer cause he's still rockin and putting on a great show! Kemptville Live people!

[@marleyorange]

Cool guy. Have seen him play several times but this is the first time I've seen him interviewed. Thanks

[@damonhines8187]

Such an innovative and interesting artist. Fascinating man.

[@talon1706]

I saw David at The Knob Hill Hotel in Scarborough Ont, late 70's. Then at The Nags Head North bar, just north of Toronto Ont. in the 80's. Had a great time. Great music.

[@wildbill1726]

Thanks for such a large part of the soundtrack to my life, Dave. Truly

[@jasman1515]

My all time favourite song! Thank you David!

[@tomhawley1961]

this man is awesome....

[@shanestephens4728]

I’m going to see David with my father this summer, very much looking forward to it ❤️❤️

[@walter041]

Thanks for sharing this video Dave. I saw you play many times in and around St. Catharines years ago. I always loved the way you loved your guitar and it loved you right back. Perfect companionship you have with your guitar. You played the Welland House ( it's gone now... burned down a few months ago) in St. Catharines a few times and they were all great parties. Hope to see you again in the near future. Peace, Walter

[@julienmgastonmercier]

What a frickin beauty! Love this man to death!

[@johnnyb1897]

David Wilcox is why I party.

[@mediaINTELLIGENCEca]

Never had a better time in my life. x 600. wouldn't miss him, for years. Love him still.

[@lonewolf5896]

He played at Tonys East back in the 80s....Sent a note to him to wish Happy Birthday Buzz.....he broke out a song he made instantly....Ah I didnt get a buzz.....priceless....

[@talon1706]

I saw him play at The Knob Hill Hotel. Not far from there.

[@lonewolf5896]

@@talon1706 Ran with the Choice ...the Knobby was a ...lets say dangerous place sometimes...😜

[@lonewolf5896]

Also ...smoked doobies with him on the Q-107 cruise ..the Trillium boat with ol Scruff too....

[@rickwheadon2896]

Seen him twice , last time couple years ago in Oshawa. Still kills live fun times

[@gtownsparky]

Nags Head North - 1980 - 83 worked there. I would not miss a night. Looked after band room between sets. Very beginning I use to sit and chat with David before his evening in banquet room later to be main stage. So talented. David reborn!!! 👏👏👍👍

[@talon1706]

I was there to see him around that time. I worked in Thornhill at the time and went there after work. It was a great show. Great bar too.

[@aliasbandfanclub3357]

Dave's music was so much fun..... drinking beers in Northern Ontario with your buds

[@NowellHolmes]

I don't know why, as in; for one reason specifically....but I have always loved this song.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

David Wilcox is a national Treasure and "Layin Pipe" is one fo the greatest bangers of all time

[@mikeohagan2206]

He had his own unique sound, and was great live.

[@elderguy]

Just wanted to say you made a lot of my nights watching you at the Knobby! Zoot suit and big stache..... Those were good days 🙂

[@kelseykciuk7809]

I love u David !!! Ur my favourite male artist ever !

[@captaindunsel2048]

God I love this guy.

[@jamesbond9873]

I want those speakers!

[@MrROTD]

Wow my little cover band did some of Davids tunes , most everyone liked the music even if they never heard his songs.

[@johnnybrown7222]

Saw David Wilcox many

[@caribouwho]

“…and… a little companionship… some supplies…” brilliant

[@michaelelliot2966]

Anytime that intro comes on I'll always smile a shit eating grin like 😁😁😁😁

[@79tazman]

That's how we kept our beer cold was a netted type bag we would load up with beer and hang in of the side of the boat and it kept the beer warm all day and the ice we used for the fish and if anyone came around no one would see any beer anyway been up to Lake Muskoka many times and know some people with cottages on that lake go up every summer to get away from the big city. Looks like David is going to be up to Lake Muskoka this summer in Bala for two nights too

[@mrceleb2006]

Proud Winnipegger...and a die-hard Jets and Blue Bombers fan!

[@rokitman5753]

The best!!!

[@MacTeee]

Wilcox...you are amusing!!!

[@bobbyhulll8737]

Weekend party music ... all weekend at the lake

[@petewalton5068]

I seen him play about 5 times

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

Did you do a lot of takes recording this Dave, was there a lot of punch ins and doubled guitars. That intro sounds like three or more playing harmonies, really gives it a horn section feel.

[@jamesmckillip7360]

Super-cool dude.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

May 24 soundtrack. I'm old

[@sidobeef]

It's a shame you don't play this song on regular rotation.

[@SteveHansonInTransit]

Indeed. Shame on Boom 97.3 FM for not playing more David Wilcox. Wilcox is easily one of Canada's greatest guitarists and arguably one of Canada's greatest songwriters.

[@BillyTheBassAssassin]

what a fuckin beauty.

[@foursticks100]

Low down blues in a laundry basket 🎸

[@freddrog4689]

"Some supplies" lol

[@jhonhall928]

Canada's James Spader.

[@rollenabout9404]

Check him out on my channel

[@vassa1972]

Never heard this one before
