As a fan of the group this is a must buy. Let's just say the guys were having fun. I think they should buy a copy as well because there is no way they remember it all. It shows a fun time with some crazy guys. As a fan of the music, this could be two fold. The crazier songs that the group put out are represented superbly but if you are looking for the beautiful melodic voice of Dennis and the guys singing some of there great ballads then you will be left wanting as they cut short the heartfelt Silvia's Mother and don't get to most the rest either because of how early this was filmed in their career or because the party did not call for it. Lastly, this was definitely filmed for Europe don't think it would have been shown in the States.

This is a good view of the band. Their antics, their music and the enjoyment they got from entrtaining. A good album to own if you are a fan of the Dr.

If you like early 1970's Dr.Hook and the Medicine Show and the theme of "On the cover of the Rolling Stone" you'll like this. I really enjoyed Ray Sawyer's triple Alabama yodel. It's a bunch of guys having fun and celebrating rock & roll. I just wish it was longer, but it's definitly worth buying and watching.

oh this is awsome dvd buy it u will luv it too! i play for it for hours at a time! debi!

It really is this simple. They are a throwback to when music was fun and not so pre-packaged. It was a thrill to see them as it is a thrill to watch them again. What is more thrilling is listening to them and letting yourself go with them. No pretensions; just great music and a great time.

the most entertaining footage of any band i have come across. hopefully most of you know that the band was shel silverstein's performance pimps....decked out, ready to boogie, and raucous in their jubilee. the unpretentiousness makes you want to dismiss any band who took/takes themselves and their music too seriously...one of those "careful, you may pee your pants from laughter" sort of deal..so keep a diaper handy.....shel's pimps....glorious!!!!!

wow, what a bunch of NUTS! they are so druged up they can't even sing, but i did like it in some ODD way, some of the songs were good. boy they are whacky as hell!!! i don't know if you want this dvd or not, it's a toss up of freaky hippies and out of there minds weirdos!!!i don't know your quess is as good as mine.

I love dr hook i think this dvd of them is great as i seen them live when they came to australia quite a few years ago and would like to find more of their shows thanking you j. rayner

This is good stuff!
It's fun, wild, real, and playfull.
It puts a smile on my face and is certain to make you happy after a long day in the office!

Worst Music video I ever bought. Set in a studeo instead of a live audience. Band members were stoned out of their minds. Sound quality was terrible, performances were terrible . . . . save your money!
