Since the last time I saw Dr.Hook they seem to have gone with a more off the cuff performance, rather than a set playlist. Performance was great, but they should go back to having a playlist and not playing covers of other bands. We Love Dr.Hook!

I had heard great things about the performance Dr. Hook / Ray Sawyer had played here in Calgary in the past but was very disappointed in the entire concert. Ray Sawyer's singing for the most part was off key and at times painful to listen to. The band was good.

The concert was fantastic. At 73 Ray Sawyer can still put on a great show. The venue is a great place to see a concert. I will definetly be seeing other shows there.

Great Show!!!!!! This guy is 73? Wow. Still has the voice really good energy, played the songs everyone paid to hear. The cover songs they did were amazing as well. This guy is what an entertainer should be, He shook hands with the crowd after the show, and said he hoped they played all the songs we wanted to hear. Classy guy. Unlike bands like April wine and Trooper that didn't seem to care what the crowd wanted to hear and did no encores. Overall great show really enjoyed it thoroughly.

I've never seen Dr. Hook not even in their 'heyday' but in the 70's. My wife had seen them back then and had all of their LPs.
It's wasn't too bad but I'm afraid Sawyer can't sing as well as he obviously did (and it only makes sense as all of our voices get ravaged by Father Time). Some of the vocals were almost 'painful' to hear.
The backing band were very good. They are excellent musicians.
My wife said she was disappointed in that they didn't play 'all' Dr Hook songs.
I went in not knowing too many of their songs but when they did do their Dr. Hook songs I found myself saying 'Hey, I remember that one!!'.

Sound was terrible, way too loud, could not hear the music or the lyrics most of the time. We left at about a half hour into the show. I have always liked Dr Hook, his music and lyrics. I looked forward to seeing him in a live performance. I was disappointed that is didn't sound anything like the Dr Hook CDs I have. Just a loud noise the made my head buzz. The audience was mostly an older age group, why treat us like that.

He's a little older (but aren't we all) but still has good energy and lots of fun. Problem was the periodic screeching of the sound system. I thought sound systems should be much better than that. Maybe the bands should lower their volume a little so they don't drown out the singers as their voices aren't as strong as they once were and the instruments just don't age. This has been a problem at many venues. But even with the sound problems Ray still Rocks!

It was was one the best show I have ever seen. I'd been waiting to see Dr.Hook for more then 25 years and I was not let down in the least. My husband really enjoyed the show as well and we would go see then once a month if we could!

After seeing the show and getting a warm fuzzy feeling watching all the oldtimers (me included) get lost in their memories I found little else about the performance enjoyable. The music was way to loud, and singing was replaced with shouting. There were long periods with nothing happening. I realize that "Dr Hook" is getting on but it is not nice to leave a performance with a ripped off feeling. The venue was great and while it was a first for me it won't be the last. I will just be more selective and do a little more homework before buying tickets.

After watching Tom Cochrane smoke the stage non stop with only two backup players at the PNEI don't believe it is age that is the issue.

I was impressed Dr. Hook sang every song with ease and confidence just as though he were back in the 60's. Loved Sylvia's Mother and some other old great songs he wrote. It was fabulous and worth every penny!

The show was relatively short by pop group standards and seemed to be even less so when they stopped after having performed for just under one hour. Thanks to a standing ovation by a very responsive audience, they returned for an 'encore' which lasted for about 30 minutes. There was no intermission and I liked that. I prefer a good, strong performance featuring the songs which made a group popular, regardless of the duration of the show, rather than a long, draggy one. The only complaint I have relates to the sound system. The music was loud but less clear than it could have been, especially with regard to Ray Sawyer's vocals. And, there was feedback from the mics on more than one occasion.
