Why do this guy's fans have such pathetic little egos? Maybe brain damage and poverty from all the drugs. I don't see the other Wilcox's fans saying anything bad about this guy. They just enjoy the music. Let the head banging resume.
While I understand your desire to distinguish between this musician and the "lame American folkie of the same name", but using "lame" is rather lame in itself. Listen to David Wilcox, US folkie, sing "Night Watchman" or "Eye of the Hurricane". Lyrics that deep are hardly the type you would get from a "lame" songwriter.
a true talent.......fell in love with his music and guitar playing from the first moment I heard this guy! I remember seeing him live in 1987 at he MCA, Toronto.
there are many many great guitarists and singers on both sides of the borders.It gets kinda stupid and cliche when it turns into an american/canadian pissing contest no matter what the subject.This is the first time I have heard this person entertain.My stepdaughter steered me to his music and he is good ,but there is no reason for the shit stirrers in here to be starting shit.Good music is good music no matter who is doing it.
Best show I ever saw at a small bar called "Spanky's" some 25 years ago, held maybe 100 people.....what a party that night. Gotta luv a mucsician that comes out in the crowd and enjoys a beer with the fans!
He used to be so nervous on stage. I saw him at The Chateau in Cobourg, Ontario in the late 80s and he was so pissed he passed out after a couple of songs. He was still genius though.
It's apples and oranges folks. This particular David is an absolute nightmare on guitar and a Canadian icon. It's a crime he is not massive outside The Great White North.
An energetic entertainer. Fine to tap your feet or dance to for a while. No comparison to the American D. Wilcox, however, when it come to musical & poetic talent. This guy is mere meat & potatoes as opposed to a gourmet meal. Good for the musically challenged average Joe type who simply cannot grasp the depth of the American Dave W's artistic creations.

I love how Dave feels the noise he makes. You can see it in his eyes... every note he bends... comes from inside. in 1977... I was just a little nothing in my mommas belly..... she saw this guy at LuLu's. Apparently... it was the first time baby kicked... and didn't stop since..... found me a guitar and big ol' boner for the blues..... Thanks Mr Wilcox. For those about to rock.. I salute you. Seen you 5 times.... and everytime.... you bring the party.
hey this little scrap is getting me all worked up. Wilcox,s twisted lyrics are the best. I woke up this morning i saw trouble walking like a man i said hello trouble give me your right hand. i coulda had religon on this very day but the women and the whiskey around me would not let me pray. i love that stuff.maybe folkie is alright but dont bash my favorite guitar player. and the deep sound that guitar makes classic rock blues
@BigDaddyDishrags son of a gun i guess you are right. o well. Thanks for posting the video. saw him live a few times around 1990. good time ....great shows....memories kinda hazy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@qqq3825 you're just being ignorant to good music.. this guy is still pretty good, but musically the american david wilcox is a better songwriter and IN MY OPINION a better musician
@cd871 Just another american puke be you. This guy is the shit. That folky american wilcox guy is just a fag. This is Canada, Family, summer, party, patio and beer..... that other guy.... prolly fingers small animals.
@bigbobloggins david wilcox (american) is a high quality musician.. i listen to this song and all i get from it is moonshine beer and being drunk.. i listen to eye of a hurricane i listen to a message of ones search for a solution to addiction. IN MY OPINION, i think that american david wilcox is a better musician
@cd871 the american wilcox will never compare to the real canadian bluesman the only thing close american that i can think of is george ''through-good'' LOL
This is a great song and I love how this video captures the energy of the live performance. I have the album. It was given to me by a Canadian friend. We traded David Wilcoxes. The thing I want to say is that the American David Wilcox is not lame. He's one of my all time fave folk singers. But he is a folk singer. This David Wilcox is a rocker, down to the tips of his toes. I love them both and I would never dare to compare them. It's not even necessary.
I would love to see him live. I am 19 and have been listening to his music for about... 3 years now. Since I'm in college I can actually see a show without my mother breathing down my neck about those 'crazies' that come out XD
@Jeffabrams69 haha, yeah, I'm going to be looking for concerts later. I'm just finishing up my final year of volunteering in the Philippines, but after mid-July I'm back in Canada so I will look to see if he has anything then. Hopefully he does since I'm missing another one of my favourite bands right now (damn people don't come to Canada :( )
I think that David Wilcox is a great singer, song writer and guitar player. He is a gifted musician that I feel has been under rated for years. He's a true performing artist.
Enigmatic,Honest,Unique & Relentless; Only an "Act of God" or the inevitable course of nature cessation of all vitals will stop Mr. Wilcox from performing. David has entertained scores of individual fans, countless shows, over even more toasts of draft beer pitchers. Like a free spirited, lighter side emphasis Doppelganger to Canadian Countrymen N.Young & G.Lightfoot,; he has carried out the Timeless Troubadour Tradition: Telling Tales, Painting Smiles & Providing Indelible Good-Time Memories.
My first vrush with Dave was as a youngster in High School, where he was scheduled to play at a student end-of-year dance. He was too wasted to go on. I thought that was the greatest thing ever and started to listen to his music. His tunes were a staple at any Ontario bush party and bar. Legend. Great video.
My canadian girlfriend turned me on to this last year,before that i never heard of David Wilcox and Im 48 and rocked all my life,but hes good.Put me on a boat with cocktails on the river and i can deal with it :)
I remember watching him perform at a bar on Woodbine Avenue just North of Steels in Markham. Just an amazing singer. This music reminds me of some pretty wild days in cottage country in the eighties.
Eary 1990's louisville ky - we had a 10ft cband satellite dish, watched much music on the canadian satellites, made some vhs tapes of videos, favorite is david wilcox 'laying pipe" - couldn't order that stuff at the local record dealer cause i tried
saw him a bunch of times starting back in the mid 80's-he alawys put on a great performance no matter what condition he was in-the acoustics on this video dont do his talent justice
I'm 17, and I've been listening to this guy since I was in diapers. I regret I couldn't have seen him in concert in his younger days. No doubt one of the best Canadian artists ever.
David Wilcox is not an international rock star, not does he strive to be. What he is, is a Canadian rock icon who continues to tour and rock well into his golden years, appealing to new generations of fans. Seen him many times, in several venues across the country. He's not trying to be a superstar, just himself, and he's adored by legions of fans, much like the Greatful Dead. A true legend.
I have to disagree with my esteemed colleague; Wilcox is unique!! While lot's of us hack musicians can strum along to the chords in his songs, there's almost no one that can write lyrics, compose music, play all the riffs, licks, fills and solos while entertaining a crowd the way he does!! I don't know if you're a musician/guitar player, but I wouldn't criticize Wilcox until you have rocked the house 4000-5000 times over the past 30-40 years and sold a few million albums to boot!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Don't mean to burst your bubble but this guy is nothing more than ten million other bar players. He's ok but don't you think that he could have matured lyrically and musically beyond the party song crap? Come on.
Opened for him on his Breakfast at the Circus tour. If you think he is just like other bar players you really have no musical knowledge. Thorogood or others that do this type of music could wish to be as good a player as Wilcox.
you think he's old?? Check out Levon Helm, the drummer for 'The Band' He's still performing to this day after surviving lung cancer. Thats what makes legends. As long as they can hold a guitar they're still rocking.
I agree with jimmythegoy.......he prolly does look better than you with your face ripped off, maybe that would keep it from saying stupid shit on youtube aswell!....he's a fucking god in music, looks dont matter....its the music that counts u dick. grow up.
honestly,,,i never said he was bad, hes good, but calm down dude, dont shit yourself, and if ur trying to prove a point try not to swear so much makes you sound like an idiot and seriously, if i had my face ripped off wouldnt u would hope that his face would look better than mine, calm dude and stop crapping you pants over petty shit
crappin my pants over petty shit? lmao. thats too funny. im not crappin my pants over it, im just saying that just cuz ppl dont look the way u want them too doesnt mean u gotta judge them. ahhh so many stero types in life...its pretty gay. oh and did i offend you when i swore?? if i did im sorry i have a bad potty mouth, but i kinda like it. lol no hard feelings man dude...dude man.
I'm actually really attractive with my face ripped off, so I think I could give Wilcox a run for the title of "Best looking with competitor's face ripped off".
Dave should get a whole shit load of Junos! The thing is, he's not dead, he's still rocking and he's still recording new material, so he doesn't qualify for any "Lifetime Achievement" type of award. It will be a hell of a shame if all he gets is some post humus award when he's gone... he deserves a lot more than that - he really is a treasure!!
Saw him probably 40 times between '79 and '83. I always thought he was better in the smaller club settings when he still played his old Strat and never played the same lick twice.
you're in for a rockin good time!! Somebody turned me on to Wilcox when I was in college over 20 years ago (I'm getting old), his music has been a constant in my life ever since. See him live if you can (especially if you are a guitar player!!)WILCOX ROCKS!!!!
It should have nothing to do with Canadian or American. What it comes down to is do you like rock or folk music better? I prefer to rock the fuck out.
M y highschool had a chance to have him preform a concert but he wanted Jack Daniels in his dressing room (Among Other things)and b\eing a caholic school the student council changed their minds. It would have been a great concert.
Lol forget the war over whether the american or canadian david wilcox is better lol. I am Canadian, but I enjoy both artists music pretty much equally.
20 year old canadian from barrie ontario, and i must agree...DAVID WILCOX is the best ever....if u ever get a chance to see him live take it....i see him every year in stroud and it kicks ass
i like this song but whats funnier is the canucks and yanks almost starting a war over which david wilcox is better. i should write southpark creators with a new story for an episode.
His bass player in this video used to live up the road from me :)

I have to disagree with my esteemed colleague; Wilcox is unique!! While lot's of us hack musicians can strum along to the chords in his songs, there's almost no one that can write lyrics, compose music, play all the riffs, licks, fills and solos while entertaining a crowd the way he does!! I don't know if you're a musician/guitar player, but I wouldn't criticize Wilcox until you have rocked the house 4000-5000 times over the past 30-40 years and sold a few million albums to boot!
Respectfully..

Don't mean to burst your bubble but this guy is nothing more than ten million other bar players. He's ok but don't you think that he could have matured lyrically and musically beyond the party song crap? Come on.

Opened for him on his Breakfast at the Circus tour. If you think he is just like other bar players you really have no musical knowledge. Thorogood or others that do this type of music could wish to be as good a player as Wilcox.

you think he's old?? Check out Levon Helm, the drummer for 'The Band' He's still performing to this day after surviving lung cancer. Thats what makes legends. As long as they can hold a guitar they're still rocking.

I don't see what that's got to with fuck all. Wilcox rocks-- and he probably looks a hell of a lot better than you would with your face ripped off.

hopefully david wilcox would look better than me if my face was ripped off?
xr40 2 years ago
I agree with jimmythegoy.......he prolly does look better than you with your face ripped off, maybe that would keep it from saying stupid shit on youtube aswell!....he's a fucking god in music, looks dont matter....its the music that counts u dick. grow up.

honestly,,,i never said he was bad, hes good, but calm down dude, dont shit yourself, and if ur trying to prove a point try not to swear so much makes you sound like an idiot and seriously, if i had my face ripped off wouldnt u would hope that his face would look better than mine, calm dude and stop crapping you pants over petty shit
xr40 2 years ago
crappin my pants over petty shit? lmao. thats too funny. im not crappin my pants over it, im just saying that just cuz ppl dont look the way u want them too doesnt mean u gotta judge them. ahhh so many stero types in life...its pretty gay. oh and did i offend you when i swore?? if i did im sorry i have a bad potty mouth, but i kinda like it. lol no hard feelings man dude...dude man.

I'm actually really attractive with my face ripped off, so I think I could give Wilcox a run for the title of "Best looking with competitor's face ripped off".

Dave should get a whole shit load of Junos! The thing is, he's not dead, he's still rocking and he's still recording new material, so he doesn't qualify for any "Lifetime Achievement" type of award. It will be a hell of a shame if all he gets is some post humus award when he's gone... he deserves a lot more than that - he really is a treasure!!

Just great, seen him earlier this summer with some lame other bands... Wilcox blew them off the stage
He's getting old now, you can tell he's done WAY too many drugs in his lifetime.
Haha

Saw him probably 40 times between '79 and '83. I always thought he was better in the smaller club settings when he still played his old Strat and never played the same lick twice.
Best guitarist Canada ever produced.

It should have nothing to do with Canadian or American. What it comes down to is do you like rock or folk music better? I prefer to rock the fuck out.

M y highschool had a chance to have him preform a concert but he wanted Jack Daniels in his dressing room (Among Other things)and b\eing a caholic school the student council changed their minds. It would have been a great concert.

So Sorry :( To Read Your School Missed Out On What Would Have Been A GREAT CONCERT :)!
David has always been known to have J.D. (Among Other things!, on his rider
So Sad your student council could not see past that! He Is A Great Canadian Performer! ~XoX~
