Not the lame American folkie of the same name, this is the Canadian rock guitar legend Werther’s Original, Hard candies, 1,139 g (40.1 oz) amzn.to/2zDJB0g
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
plat zoo Winnipeg on the 80s and still love all you music. you are are an artist David. thank you for all the years of music and fun you have brought me
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!
I saw him many times in the late 70’s early 80’s. I will never forget that experience. Amazing live music, great friends and most importantly I lived to tell about it 😋
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.
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.
Saw him years ago in Toronto at a very cold open air forum near the lakefront. Luckily we'd brought hot chocolate spiked with Creme de Menthe and a big blanket. Got lots of requests to share! Great show!
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!!
Maysey1, Us Wilcox fans are happy to welcome a new fan- 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!!!!
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.
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.
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 :)
What a great performer.. seen hin in the 90's at LuLus in Kitchener.. was so shit faced they had to help him in to the stage.. still performed like the legend he is ....
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.
Saw him quite recently in Hamilton, Ontario - Absolutely tremendous show. Upset that he didn't do the bearcat, so to speak, but he made up for it with an immaculate rendition of the above listed song. In fact, the only terrible part of the night was when he was followed by uuuuuuuuuuugh Kim Mitchell.
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
before i moved to the states we lived on Oakville and did that drive, Did you ever catch Jeff Healy, Burton Cummings, Aprilwine, or rush to name a few who played at the oakville waterfront festivals? great shows good times,
As great as these videos are, it would be great if someone could dredge up some footage of his younger days in the late 1970's-1980's when he was at his energetic peak. He held almost every Southern Ontario Bar's Alcohol Sales Record! People used to schedule their plans, vacations, even weddings! around his appearances at local bars/ clubs/festivals/hockey arenas/private parties, etc. Such was, and still is [ to a lesser extent ] his influence over a fanatical fan base. A true original.
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.
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.
When I first started going to concerts as a kid I was so disappointed I'd listen to a album and then see them live and it was a huge disappointment there was fireworks and lasers but none of the bands sounded good live and then I seen David Wilcox no special effects just talent over the years I've must have seen him 10 to 15 times and he was always amazing even the times when he really wasted they propped him in a chair to play because he couldn't sit up let alone stand still but was a amazing show
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 Cheers 5*****
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 don't understand why one person needs to criticize the other David Wilcox from the states because he has the same name. Is that necessary? If anyone knows anything about the "other" Wilcox they will certainly know that he is the far, far from lame. If fact, he has more depth to his soul then any other singer songwriter out there.
Thanks for info. American friend here from June 16th until 23rd. Want him too see David Wilcox. Checked tour site & can't find anything. If anyone knows where I might find Wilcox on those dates, please let me know.
oh People this man as a party partner would send you quaker, not only could he party but that guitar of his is voicless but telipathic, ever want to go strange in introspection, David Wilcox can send you, But theres a price to a good weekend, Its called Monday morning
For one thing, this explains why I was a little confused the first time I heard the "folkie" guy, as I'd heard this one first. But frankly, this song is not much different than the other DW, in attitude or lyrics. It's just electric. I like 'em both. Why the hating?

I just nicely heard "Riverboat Fantasy" again for the hunered'th time, and I NEVER get sick of it!
I saw him many times in the late 70’s early 80’s. I will never forget that experience. Amazing live music, great friends and most importantly I lived to tell about it 😋
Saw him last night at Hugh's Room in Toronto. Finished with Riverboat Fantasy. Great night! Thanks David, you rock. A true Canadian legend.
OMg, he's so awesome....No one interacts with an audience like David WIlcox.....and those facial expressions, the best!!
STILL LISTENING !! STILL SO GOOD !! YOU ROCK DAVE !
Wilcox tunes are a must for every party. The live stuff is so the best!!
David Wilcox Rocks... How amazing, this son has been in my head for nearly 20 years, this guy is so amazing ! Love everthing this guy delivers !

Canadian rock at its finest for sure makes me proud to be Canadian

Canadian blues Icon got to love this man saw him live and it was always a great intimate show
This song is just a pure thing of beauty and I love Dave's hilarious faces. What an iconic axe slayer.
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!!
Have not had the chance to see Daiv live, but have been listening to his music for 20 years !!! Thanks so much for this video.
i've know about david wilcox from radio for years...years! but never knew how he looked like :)

His albums are good, his live shows are great!
And his guitar playing is legendary!

Saw him quite recently in Hamilton, Ontario - Absolutely tremendous show.
Upset that he didn't do the bearcat, so to speak, but he made up for it with an immaculate rendition of the above listed song.
In fact, the only terrible part of the night was when he was followed by uuuuuuuuuuugh Kim Mitchell.

He's getting old now, you can tell he's done WAY too many drugs in his lifetime.
Haha
