Hi BertiWooster,
I saw him in concert here in the UK about 5 years ago! He toured on his own and he was absolutely brilliant. He was witty, very friendly towards the audience and was on stage singing for 3 hours, I have seen the programme you mention with him and his band but he was better on his own... I can`t understand why he wanted a band with him this time.
There are some great video`s of Dr Hook on youtube.
