Dan Aykroyd Jams With The Band | Letterman

[@johncornell3665]

Dan is a great guy. A very talented man. Thanks Dave!

[@bobbyrne9697]

Dan Aykroyd -- inscrutable yet lovable. He's also a demon on the harp! Damn!

[@morbidmanmusic]

quite average.,

[@ignorecorporatenews]

Dan Ackroyd created and wrote the entire script of The Blues Brothers movie.

[@HOTD108_]

Apparently he created an entire cinematic universe, where each band member had their own movie, but John Landis and the studio insisted it be condensed into the one movie.

[@edmundobungo1106]

I think that was a good decision by them tbf. Worked out pretty great! :)

[@clifftanton8385]

Great harmonica player one of the best period get Briefcase full of Blues listen to the whole thing you will not be disappointed 😊

[@RobertClaeson]

@@edmundobungo1106 I would like to have both.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

I actually SAW the Blues Brothers with JOHN Belushi LIVE in concert!!

[@brianwaldo2642]

That is a treasured memory for sure. I can just imagine the energy and excitement you must have experienced.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

@@brianwaldo2642thx They played The NY Palladium 1980 or 81.

[@eddellinger1780]

I just found an LPcopy of 'Blues Brother - Made in America', at a local thrift store! Recorded at the Universal Amphitheater in Hollywood. $3 in mint condition! 😉

[@THX-vb8yz]

That would have been a fantastic concert.....

This gets a w for WOW!!

5:45-5:55 that so-called "little transition" was like a superhero transformation, ranks right up there with Clark Kent changing into Superman

Dan can do it all and do it brilliantly. Great to see this!

[@ComeAlongKay]

@SagaciousBoothewhat a weird statement.

[@JDL0427]

Oh my this one single segment is an act in 3 parts. Ackroyd was born to perform.

[@Plassou]

He's amazing.. a hat and a pair of glasses.. and he's Elwood Blues. ❤️😭 The Blues Brothers movies absolutely changed my life as a kid !!

[@ScottMcMaster-er4xj]

Elwood J. Blues can still bring the house down!!! Someone get the man two pieces of toast and a glass of water.

Sure do miss John and Dan together...Rock In Peace John.

[@3RTracing]

30 years ago this appearance was recorded and it is as good today as it was back then. As a horn player AND drummer I had two different occasions to do clinics with Lou Marini, aka Blue Lou from the Blues Brothers Movie and band.

[@cathmcfarlane-noble2087]

Thankyou Dan Ackroyd for all the fun, smiles, entertainment. You do get it right. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@judyt787]

Dan, you are an icon and I’ve always adored your wit, music, and humble soul. Plus, you’re a sweet Canadian 🇨🇦! ❤

[@ComeAlongKay]

Yeah I haven’t generally seen the Canadians are nicer thing usually being true. There’s a strong passive aggressive sentiment there usually. They’re kind of like people from Wisconsin mostly.

[@ComeAlongKay]

The ones who are nice I don’t know if that’s immediately because they’re Canadian. Also their politics are horrific they’re like verging on dictatorship after years of terrible voting.

[@thegreyoutdoors7860]

Sweet?..try living near him

[@jimmyjames2022]

In the pantheon of Dan's comedic roles, leave us not forget the weird "Nothing But Trouble" 1991 (with Chevy Chase, John Candy, Demi Moore, Valerie Bromfield) where Aykroyd plays a 106 year old 'Judge' of a horror house. Pay attention to his nose.

[@ericmarin6454]

Damn, almost forgot about that movie. 😂

[@BobbySacamano]

That movie is insane. I begged my Old Man to rent it when I was a kid, and he absolutely hated it. It was an ongoing joke between us, and eventually became our "it's soooo bad it's good" movie.

[@jwrpodcast]

Two of my idols in one place. Thank you!

[@jorghimmrich4878]

The sound is fantastic. One and Only

[@thefrontpage]

This is just awesome. Thanks, Dan!

[@robertalf454]

I hope that Dan Aykroyd is gonna play Elwood Blues again in a third Movie!

[@colinlongman2889]

Really talented bloke writer actor great dancer

[@giannigunn5247]

They don’t make versatile talent, like Dan Aykroyd anymore. This guy can do it all and he’s great at it off.

[@lexkanyima2195]

He's a total package

[@richlrn64]

Absolutely phenomenal

[@frankcross6958]

if only belushi was alive in 94 they woulda brought the house down dan was pretty amazing on his own tho

[@PakRT48]

7:12 I'd like to believe Belushi was dancing along in spirit next to Aykroyd

[@texasghosthunters2058]

Greatest story teller ❤️❤️

[@janeltranmer2284]

Of course, fantastic to see Mr. Aykroyd. Thank you! Did anyone else hear Anna"s last line to Mr. Aykroyd? "Let's get arrested!" Ha ha! What a little anarchist. Aykroyd was right, though, she turned out to be a super successful actress.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Would have missed it if you didn''t mention it, hilarious.

[@TraitofSiNN727]

who's Dan Aykroyd?? I though it was Elwood Blues.😆 I met Dan once when he was releasing his Crystal Skull vodka at a LCBO in Ottawa such a nice man. Elwood Blues is my idol to the blues.

[@sidewaysdesign]

I met him once in Toronto on the street; such a gentleman.

[@TraitofSiNN727]

Maybe this is because a book involving the making of The Blues Brothers came out yesterday. I know because I bought the audiobook on Audible last night. UPDATE: I forgot about the new Ghostbusters movie.

[@kstepko]

The new Ghostbusters movie is coming out: that’s my guess.

[@eddellinger1780]

Paul Shaffer played in the Blues Brothers!

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

In the blues brothers 2000

[@UniversalExports23]

Danny is always the nicest, entertaining, and coolest cats you would ever be lucky enough to have in your life. Dan Aykroyd gave me my start in the business and I will always be eternally grateful for his generosity and kindness. Every time we hang out, it's like 35 years have never passed and still remain in awe of his quick wit and thirst for knowledge and adventure. Danny is a blast and will always love him like a brother. ( no pun intended ) 🕶️ 👽 👻 🗿 🔭 🛸 😎 😂

[@thefrontpage]

True story: Years later after this, in the 2000s, I was an extra on many days of "Veep." One day, after a particularly long day on the set in D.C., I was leaving the building where we filmed that day, and I happened to be leaving at the same time as Anna. It was late, and it was dark in the parking lot, and she hesitated before walking out the door to her car. She didn't have a bodyguard, security guy or assistant. I introduced myself as one of the actors, she said she recognized me, and I offered to walk her to her car. And I did! I waited until she started the car and drove away, and then I walked to my car and went home. That was my special time with Anna. I saw her again on the set on another day, and she thanked me for walking her to her car on that previous day on the set. So I had some special moments with Anna. I miss working on "Veep"---everyone was so nice. Those were special times.

[@jerometeo5369]

Like Dan Aykroyd's performance in Ghostbusters and The Blues Brothers, not to mention he was the writer in both movies

[@antoniojones6256]

Fantastic performance!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

After this, I must watch the Blues Brothers play Rubber Biscuit. 😊😊

[@Bigfoot-px9gj]

When I was a smart ass teenager in my thirties, a friend of mine went to Aruba and brought me an Aruba t-shirt. One night when I was good and loaded, I got a permanent magic marker and above the Aruba logo on the shirt I wrote _"What do you want for nothin',"_ and below it I wrote _"Biscuit?"_ So it said _"What do you want for nothin', Aruba Biscuit?"_ :)

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

When he introduced Anna I was expecting Gerard Mulligan to walk out.

[@allendracabal0819]

She's 43 years old now. That is utterly shocking to me.

[@jeffyoder8105]

Yeah Aykroyd and blushing were able to turn a SNLskit into a movie franchise that made them richer and famous than either probably ever imagined could happen and actually made SNL even more popular than anyone thought possible 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤😊

Dan comes on and plugs someone else's book. Legend.
