Dr Hook - "Medley"

From Don Kirchner Rock Concert 1976
Thank you so much, Linda Vidal for song info:
The first song is "Earth Angel", followed by "Devil or Angel", then "For Your Love", and then Billy sings "Daddy's Coming Home Soon" then "What's Your Name?"
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.

Great shows

[@gypsy8961]

Dr hook and the medicine show, had more talent, in a single bead of sweat, than most performers of today, could ever dream of having. Even when goofing off and playing around, they were absolutely amazing.

Yes they should

They’re not? Insanity!

[@lindadawson5928]

These guys were THE BEST, they sing RAW, unlike todays artists, they need ear pieces etc, they cant sing..dr hook can sing anything

[@philbrown1474]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more vocal talent in a group (band) by so many different guys. All these guys could’ve sung lead for just about anybody. Dr. Hook was magic in a bottle.

[@charlottedickerson6675]

What a wonderful, talented bunch of young men these guys were. Dennis is still playing for us. We are so lucky to have him.

[@glargard]

[@vinceuzelac8113]

No band had more fun playing then these guys. Every single one of them has talent. Greatest mash up of all time.

I love listen ing to them and watching them. Love you ❣️ Guys so much. It is 2am in Las Vegas and l am with The Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. 💕 You Guys

[@sshms414]

Agreed when I was 14 I couldn't understand why my mum was going to shows when thet visited uk. I thought it was gross she was so into Denis. Now here I am 45 yrs later drooling over a young ray wishing id seen them live

[@doloressanders3824]

That's my sentiment exactly. If every band would get along like they do you wouldn't have the breakups . Love to watch them perform.

I must be crazy. So were they. The best music ever. Great musicians, great lyrics and great singers. I love Dr. Hook and i always will for the rest of my days. Thank you so much for having the opportunity to see them here on this channel.

[@christinenoneofyourconcern4280]

@rebelfrom1944 ,the shit that they put out today is not music and the ones that run the show are pushing the crap of today because of what it does to our bodies. Todays crap runs on a different hz. Have you ever noticed how when listening to todays crap ,one doesn`t feel good? I feel anxious and very upset when the noise they have today is played. If you actually do the research you will see what I mean.

Another great performance. So sad the drummer died of cancer in his early 50's. What a marvelous voice ! Your not forgotten here on KZbin . Thank you

[@msvitles]

Every one of the band members was vastly talented. Billy Francis with that lovely deep voice and the keyboards, and his deadpan, John Wolters on the drums and singing background almost every number, Rik and Jance on their slots guitar and bass, and even the rotating spots, all made up the medicine show. It would have been incomplete without any of them, especially Dennis with the magic vocal range, and Ray's bluesy strut... They were magic.

[@jh5881]

You're kidding..... right??

[@jeffpearson5581]
