Dr Hook - "TV show from Australia"

The Don Lane show from Australia
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.
The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook.

Oh man, does Dennis put his heart and soul into every performance, but on this one he is just superb. He and Ray were something special.

What a great bunch. They must have had a blast together.

[@stevet5379]

You could tell in an instant that these guys absolutely love what they do. They were good, damned good, and had more talent than most bands even dreamed of. How could their fans not love them, you just had to.

[@JoeBrito777]

I grew up with them. Me & my sister got several dances to go with their songs.

Man, the more i see and hear from or about these guys the more i like them.

[@danielmauro6576]

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show truly were a group of guys who had fun on the stage, did great performances, and loved people. Look at the humanity of Ray and Dennis as they go into the audience to meet that person.

[@SouthernKat]

It comes out in so many of their videos how Ray was such a great encourager and truly loved people. The way he hugged the people in the audience was so touching. RIP Ray It's sad that most of them are gone now. 😥

[@paulacurran3978]

He was such a natural entertainer and never failed to recognize his band members and the audience. I feel honoured to have seen them perform in person and to get Ray to sign my album cover.

[@thomasdbrady3696]

Just beautiful

The Beat Goes On.

[@luziferlindemannvonstrombe6495]

I can remember as a child begging my mother to stay up late every time Dr Hook was on the Don Lane show (which was a lot) they were always so entertaining and clearly had a passion for life and what they did, even today I have their greatest hits loaded up in my car stereo and it always takes me back, THANK YOU for posting this great memory xoxoxo

[@carolynmorris3472]

Omg what's a brilliant group❤

[@joan9357]

So much wonderful music 🎶 ,it takes me back to all the good times in my life, God I hate getting older .💓

[@tedclark8178]

I had the good fortune to See Dr Hook in a small venue. Ray could have made as a stand up comedian

[@nodozz2]

Pure class...

[@hirdy6]

Whenever they came on 'The Don Lane Show' they would take over, not because they were domineering but because they were THAT good.

[@jimajams7080]

hirdy6 and so well loved

[@rickyferguson2362]

Ray, loved life and all in it! In today’s world maybe we should all take a lesson from Ray on how to treat others!! Ray u r missed my friend! But u will shine on in your music!!

No smoke and mirrors, great performance

[@Dr.Catacus]

Real musicians playing real music. You really had to be there. 🎶🎶🤠

[@phlushphish793]

Those guys had so much fun!

[@shanty4590]

The most down to earth bunch of guys you’ll ever see as the superstars they are. So great to see these archives as they were. As I wasn’t around to see them its so refreshing to see how these guys act on a sofa just like they do on a stage. You can never excel greatness to its optimal position. ❤️🥰

[@janiceleflar5479]

I like some of their music, however; I wouldn't pay a nickel to see them ever again. They were so messed up, filthy dirty, didn't remember words to songs nor how to play songs. I was so disgusted, I left!

[@sandymartyn5410]

He could sing anything and he did,,even in the land down under xx Ray and Dennis just made that guy's day xx

[@OZROCKFAN]

I remember watching the Don Lane on this particular night. What an absolutely beautiful version of this song. I sat there and couldn't believe how well they did it. I never ever thought that I would ever see this version again. It gave me goosebumps. Thank you so much for posting this video on you tube.

[@redwandennaoui4508]

I swear I remember the time they were on the Don Lane show,

Jack Donahue (1804 - 1830) was a bushranger in Australia between 1825 and 1830. Known as "Bold Jack Donahue" he became part of the notorious "Wild Colonial Boys." Jack Donahue, also known as John Donohoe, was born in Dublin, IRELAND. After being convicted of intent to commit a felony in 1823. he was transported to Australia in 1825.

[@Shadow74342]

+Bobby English cheers for that.

[@bobbyenglish7956]

+Shadow74342 Yo Bro, From the Old Sod! We fought the BASTARDS for 800 years and we continued the fight in Aussie land, where they sent us for stealing a sheep! Never forget, the DNA/BLOOD that flowed through the veins of John Donohoe - it was ROYAL BLOOD, compared to the CRAP that flowed through English veins!

[@trysometenderness7466]

They were so F'n great!

[@stickyfingers69]

...they made other appearencies on TV in Australia but 'The Don Lane' show was on at night and was the highest rating show at the time so they chose a great place to introduce it to us all... you have a magnificent channel fruRonja... keep up the great work... cheers.

[@glen7318]

Billy just can't stop dancing....

[@DirkjeA]

Ain't the original Dr. Hook anymore, so many have passed. Watch the BBC interview video where Dennis Locorriere states there is never going to be a reunion because it had to be a seance, for some important members have passed away... Anyway, they had their official farewell tour in 1985, so which tour do you mean?
