[bulbheadmyass]

He is as good as ever. THis video is wonderful.

[justinhaIochamp]

Is there a list of the tracks on the DVD?.......thanks for this video Dr Hook remains one of the greatest bands of all times..

[robertvamoldo]

@justinhaIochamp - YES u're right.I love them after 41 years.

[ladyfuschia]

Damn you, Mrs. Avery!!!! Damn you to hell!!!

[2dogsaf]

wow Dennis still sounds the same after 40 years great voice

[lucie408]

i cried...so sad!

[In2TheNiteLife]

Dennis is from my neighborhood!...never came back... lol

can't blame em!

[fergaldev]

I only heard this song a few months ago, and i just cant stop listening to it, such a brilliant tune and great performer, music like this is hard to find now

[dangerouslydead]

Shit, I'm cryin'....

[gttdkt]

My opinion, Dennis's voice and talent is second to none. Spend some time listening to him on YouTube, and you will see what I am saying. And that includes Elvis and Sinatra. I'm not talking about charisma or his stage presence or name recognition. But his beautiful voice and delivery. Dennis never misses a word or a note. Perfection.

[lisbethmobile]

Wow

[denniswilsonfan]

he is a rare talent, he feels the song in his heart and relays that to everyone who hears it. love this song, brings back childhood memories, I think everyone in my family loved Dr Hook, Dennis pulled us all in, kept us laughing, and feeling his pain. Thank You Mr. Locorriere.

[pontybach01]

went to to see dennis in cardiff was his post cool tour was awsesome

[yourroyalcrankiness]

nothing has change in his voice at all, good old timer he is, still rockin

[pontybach01]

went to see dennis in cardiff earlier this month was amazing

[kevmare1]

Awesome.A easily recognizable voice.Unique

[totalpackage003]

3 of the major power chords turned into a classic...A progressive song that keeps the listener riveted to Sylvia's next saga..

[rich88b]

Dennis is fantastic live -- I saw him the other night with Andy Fairweather Low and both were brilliant! Plenty of old and new songs!

[rich88b]

I went to see Dennis Locorriere and his band along with Andy Fairweather Low the other night and both acts were FANTASTIC!!! Loads of all the old hits plus new stuff too! Go and see them if they're playing round your way!!!!

[rich88b]

I saw Dennis and his superb band last night and he has so much energy and enthusiasm and did all his old stuff and lots from his new album.

Appearing with Dennis was the equally brilliant Andy Fairweather-Low and his Low Riders and the whole evening was utterly fantastic and I can't wait to see them all again!!!!

Go and see them if they're down your way as they have another 36 dates to do!!!

[mrjazzy1700]

So great!!! So sad Ray is still trying to sing this. he can't sing it

[mrjazzy1700]

Wonderful! Dennis rocks!!!

[sukes58]

i have the dvd this was taken from i saw it in the local pound hsop and thought what a bargain so got it and it is great

[Rory2326]

Was working at Glastonbury Festival a few years back, Sunday Lunchtime, this bloke had never heard of walked on main stage with a guitar, and wow! Transfixed an ever growing crowd with a fantastic acoustic set, this song being the highlight, a fan ever since.

[TheSpillo66]

Super genial

Grüsse an helem

[caverndaze]

BRILLIANT SONG and he still sounds good!!!!

[rich88b]

I LOVE this song and Dennis is touring from Feb onwards with his band so that's great!

[RHL1978]

Nice

[norriedee]

Try N Grab Accapella Version

[TheBamaKid1962]

Just not the same without the eye patch! Still damn good though!!!!

[skirtles1]

Fantastic live version of a truly great song. Sung with emotion by a performer blessed with one of the greatest voices ever recorded. Thanx Dennis.

[RMYak54]

My sister Diane played this song over and over when Dr Hook came out with it. She was killed in an accident a week before her 14th birthday. Whenever I hear it I think of her.

[thegman00]

Great Song but i think Sylvia`s Mother is a Slut !!!

[perothing]

One of the most emotional singers i know of. Enjoy it still as much as i did almost 40 years ago.

[metapenguin1]

The only one who could cover the inimitably brilliant original version -- is the man himself.

Succeeding decades of your living add layers of pathos to what you felt at ten and twenty (take it from me -- I'm sixty, and feel it yet), and he lays them on lovingly here.

[Chelleypop]

When was this from ??

I Grew Up Listening To Dr Hook (70's)

Last seen Denise play in 1992 :-(

Awsome Voice xx

[MagnumPEI1]

OMG, how long ago was this cause he looks so young...anyhow Its a great song from a underated band,,:)

[MsDinkyDee]

love this song, when i was 14 i went to their gig, he asked me to stand up and dedicated this song to me!!!

[dallas941]

i love this man

[paulio11270]

can anyone tell mem if this guy is still alive, or passed away. brilliant.

[OhSnapItsSylvia]

this melts my heart

[ThePeterpuss]

If this song and performance doesn't choke you up...you're not a human being... Great video, thanks for posting.

[Builder99]

[Builder99]

[simwnt]

Good memories coming back after listening to this again.

[michaelamiles]

Great songs Dr Hook. I have posted MY VERSION of 'years from now' would like your comments guys, pleeez.

[042058]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[SHASHABOOEY]

DAMN, he still sounds great. "Biatches and mad love." How funny. My man, why don't you let the grown-ups talk now !!!

[kjf666]

BRILLIANT

[pmul246]

Dennis has still got it. He's good all by him-self.

[jdh023]

Dr. Hook is one of the most underated groups of any generation. I have had more "mad love" because of these guys than any other group. Pop it in and the chicks start dropping their panties. Mad props to this wonderful band. Three songs into any album and the biatches think you only love them.

[simmone1974]

Agree Dr Hook is one great band. But gee you must be really bad if you need a band to get "mad love" most guys get it by themselves...

[allalongthewatch]

Just got in from seeing Dennis at Buxton, Brilliant night, He sung all the classics including Syvia

[senorspark]

Kudos to Dr Hook for some classic tunes. But, let us not forget the great Shel Silverstein who gave us these great lyrics (this, Cover of the Rolling Stone, etc.

Anyway, thanks for posting this song - I love this song

[paulio11270]

beautiful ,second time i have listened to this song just come back from pub, little drunk going buying his album tomorrow.must be getting old.

[maggiev0805]

How lovely thank you for posting. Brilliant and a very special time of my life. x

[Celestino51]

one of the best version of this song I've ever heard...

Thanx for sharing...

[Wwerner25]

wow...the eyepatch guy wasn´t...???

[Audioforge]

The eye patch guy was Ray Sawyer...

[Audioforge]

The eyepatch guy was Ray Sawyer...

[MondoBeno]

Everybody thought the eyepatch guy was Dr. Hook.

[coopermania]

Absolutely brilliant !! Sylvia's mother was a huge hit when I was a boy, and to this day, I never tire of listening.

Amazing voice Dennis, love it :)

[kidbuck33]

its to bad that time gets everyone.dennis is still great, his voice still great. but i want to remember him as the fun and good time young person he always was in 60s and 70s.

[tylersragdoll]

One of my favorite Dr Hook songs, thanks for posting.

[PlasticNerd]

Sweet, Thanks. 5*s.

[auntbegg]

I saw Dennis and Dr Hook several years ago at the Idaho State Fair. Dennis sang this song a cappella; alone on the stage. The most awesome moment I have ever experienced at a live concert. The audience was so stunned that there was several minutes of complete slience ater he finished, and then thundering applause. God, I miss their music

[choke000666]

I can only imagine! Sounds like ya had a good time to say the least lol!

[leitrimboy]

I was 12 yrs old when this was released in the UK and my Mother absolutely hated it. I loved it and it's still one of my all time favourite songs. It has to be Dennis singing it, though. No one else comes close to the emotion he puts into it.

[jalen784]

where did you find this video? great.

[ClassicStudioT]

[choke000666]

F-ing awesome!

[JDocBurns]

GOD DAMN that was XLNT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Littlewolf57]

What a fabulous performer he is - to say he moves me sounds trite, but I've always had a thing for him and his heartwrenching voice.  Love him still!

[nita270640]

dennis is dr hook, plain and simple

[klaaske50]

Love this song- there are many good versions of it but Dr Hook will always be the best. Dennis still sounds good but he's still only part of the band.

[tinkertaylorjm]

great song sound is still brill anyone got THE BALLARD OF LUCY JORDAN LIVE would love to hear it

[dickbagay]

great song. sad song as sad that the original band is not with him. hu hu, oh ya- no more 3 min coz of mobile phone. time change.

[OneRareRuby]

This is such a great song. I'm so glad this was posted so we can all see how great he still sounds!

[HamEggChips]

yes, I like

[HamEggChips]

Jolly nice!

[HamEggChips]

Great stuff, thanks!

... and hey, that's the multi-talented Mark Griffiths (Griff) on bass! session man extraordinaire, played with everyone who is anyone! :)

[lisahose]

Hi Dennis Are You Married?

[tatipacbran]

good on you dennis, sounds very good still!!

[sevfeb1951]

It's from the Hits & History UK tour 2007

[1BarefootCowboy]

Is Rod Smarr still touring or recording with him?

[FreakersBall]

Lets hope not.

Dennis is much better without Rod`s influence.

I beleive this is from Dennis love songs some years ago.

Dennis had so many good new songs in the beginning of the 90thies, to bad he did`nt have a record deal just then.

[arfing1]

Thanks - this was great to see. Such a beautiful song.

[edwindonald]

Thanks for the post...Dennis Locorriere the top talent of Dr Hook....Thanks again Jimbo
