David Van Tieghem on "Late Night with David Letterman"

[@AntnyXO]

Last night I was watching Pose FX Season 1 Ep. 7 Titled “Pink Slip” and His music/track “These Things Happen” was in that episode,, Had to find it! IT’S AMAZING.

Thanks!

I just showed this to my son [this is the year he might start band instruction] as an example of how I understand percussion and percussiveness. I watched it on MTV or some other channel back in '82-'83 and was forever fascinated.

Thank you!

It may have been a long time ago but music is timeless and yours has amazed me for so many of them, I am enormously grateful for your incredible talent.

[@DavidVanTieghem]

Thank you!!

I've listened to your music in what I guess I'd call my most personal moments alone with my thoughts and feelings. When I saw this reply from you tonight, it felt surreal. ' Strange Cargo' in particular is an album I've listened to countless thousands of times, it's one of those works I count as a perfect match for the way my soul works. How odd for you to be the one to say "Thank you" to me, when it is you who gave that music to me. I've worked in movies and TV and I've met a lot of famous people but this little note from you is so exciting because...well, you're David VanTieghem... that's another level up. The music we bond with in a personal way is magic and those who create it are magical beings. Never in a million years did I ever expect to read something you wrote to me, Thank You.

Thanks!

This makes me so happy. I was entranced by DVT playing with Laurie Anderson and played These Things Happen and Safety in Numbers every day for months. You're an amazing talent. Thanks for posting this stuff!

[@DavidVanTieghem]

Thank you!

I totally saw this the night it aired! I am old.

[@GebbzSteelo]

this is incredible !

[@HaloSvevo]

great video! three things amazed me most: the deep warm sound of that balloon, making music with vibrators and your glasses. very nice!

[@marcomanzardo5146]

What a fantastic musician! I knew with L.O.L.O. when I bought "Casino", released in Italy in 1982 by Expanded Music.

[@SynthAddict]

thanks for sharing, never saw this clip - I stared watching Letterman a couple of years later on the west coast - the dildos are classic first saw you in Laurie Anderson's Home of the Brave and really enjoyed your solo stuff like the Safety in Numbers album with Tony Levin and Ryuichi Sakamoto

[@DavidVanTieghem]

Thank you!

Genial DVT !

Late Night with David Letterman got away with a lot of stuff I would normally have expected to get censored. The vibrators here, a joke about shrunken heads where Will Lee said something the audience couldn't hear but Dave repeated "The feeling from the band is we'd all like a little head," Robin Williams doing a Señor Wences impression and having his hand say "Do I have to swallow?" and Joe Cocker being the musical guest and Dave saying, "Cocker? I hardly even know her."

Hey, it's the captain of the football team!

[@mikrophonie5633]

It's Peter Gordon's Love of Life Orchestra, not Robert Gordon.

[@DavidVanTieghem]

Actually, I also played with rockabilly singer Robert Gordon!

[@noidea26]

i found it really odd that he didn't even spit out the film container when he ducked behind the table
