Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - At the freaker's ball 1974

[Gorwel84]

Now THAT'S a song about inclusion if I ever heard one.

I think we need some more Freaker's Balls out there to help get this world calmed down.

Hell yeah! Search "Dr Hook and the Medicine Show Live" on Amazon and the first dvd result is this concert. a 45 min appearance on German TV.

[computerdoobie]

Does anybody know name of this venue or if a full video of the concert exists?

[passionofpersephone]

The goings-on described in this song sounds just like an event that's held in New Orleans every year, "Southern Decadence."

[mellou60]

[WilllieMaysHays]

[danielthomasslade]

@WilllieMaysHays not enough warts!

[SouthernRose2]

@WilllieMaysHays Nope the guy in the cowboy hat is Ray Sawyer and the one with a whole lotta hair is Dennis Locorriere. If you look dr.hook up on wikipedia it tells all about them.

[SouthCoastMackem]

Quintessential Dr Hook before they became massive - excellent comedy songs performed with a smile and a twinkle in their eyes. Mind you, they were pretty damned good when they started having hits and becoming more mainstream . From the pen of the late Shel Silverstein, who wrote or co-wrote a lot of their early work. If you like this, check out "Roland The Roadie and Gertrude The Groupie".

[lc44906]

Fantastic! LOVE this song & this band just flat out rocked too - stoned or otherwise. Wish I had been old enough to see them live in their heyday.

[thyum18]

they were probably high but i figure they were on acid too because they were known for that on some of their older albums

[SelfMinusI]

@thyum18 they were known for just kickin it with all the mindwarping wonders available! harumph!

[Ditch2012]

I wish I could get that high and still function.

[kohogoalie46370]

The audience is hysterical. These just don't look like people who would be going to see this show.
