Gregg Allman (and Redd Foxx) on Letterman, November 18, 1987

[@dongiller]

Folks -- please read the description beneath the video for an explanation on the botched beginning and Redd Foxx's interruption. That way we can hopefully stop the incessant misplaced outrages and theories.

Good correction on his part though. Imagine how bad it could have been if he had continued playing in that key. It would have been the funniest episode of letterman ever

Greg was a class act. In every interview he was respectful and very humble. His talent far surpassed his problems with drugs and alcohol which he eventually overcame. God rest his soul. Miss you man.

Ran into Greg in Macon, Ga at a convenient store off exit 6. Amazingly, no one else was there except for a couple of Huddle House customers. Greg was filling his Harley and was saying he needed to ride with me as a joke because I bought a 12 pack. I walked over to the pump and shook his hand. I never acknowledged that he was a superstar and after a couple of laughs we went separate ways. Just a humble and kind man that was larger than life who felt like a friend to everyone.

I have a friend (deceased) who ended up in rehab with Duane in CA. He was reportedly pretty introverted. I guess there are stories of him being cranky (chris robinson has a funny one). My buddy said he was a cool guy - I'm thinking any negative stories were due to him being "not well" (in withdrawal) My friend said he told him about the good old days of 90% pure white heroin... lol

Was fortunate enough to see Gregg Allman and Friends at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach around 1999-2000. God had to have been the Blessing behind it because my Army buddy flew in from California and I told him and my wife at the time that we were going to take the camper and go to the beach.

Weve lost a lot of the greats in rock the past few years but Greggs death cut me deeply. Its still hard to believe hes gone, along with Tom Petty, Eddie Van Halen, Glen Frey,Tina Turner, Aretha, Prince, so many others. Thank God we have the legacies of their music that will live forever. And thank God for the concert that awaits us all one day when we join them in paradise! R.I.P. rockin' angels

Redd Foxx and Greg Allman . 2 og's of their craft!

[@tedkier3264]

What a true class-act! Greg stepping aside and turning limelight over to (walk-on promoter) Redd Foxx ..with dignity and grace.

[@MelissaThompson432]

@@oldpanamacitybeach It was obviously planned. Paul knew to launch into the S&S theme; and Gregg's attitude was like, "there you are!" I know Gregg wasn't especially shy, but with the Allmans it was always about the jam, so I can't see him caring about a little chat. When you're jamming, you hang loose, and Redd Foxx could hang loose, so it was cool. On the other hand, you'd never catch a guest with a cigar nowadays....

Red just took over. What a guy. Thanks Red, always the self absorbed prick.

[@anthonynelson9136]

@@larryhinze8658 I gots to agree.

[@sblack48]

I think Gregg was quite shy and hated interviews. He was probably very happy to have Redd take over. I wonder how they knew each other?

Larry Hinze ha. Your the prick..

[@michaeldean9338]

Wow! Thanks for this, Don! I remember watching this episode, (some of you need to check your misplaced anger, and learn about that particular episode's festivities.) Gregg was such a major badazz! Such a big loss in the world of Blues and Rock. (RIP, Gregg A. and Foxx )

Letterman said that the next night he was having on Carly Simon and Hunter S. Thompson. Jesus Christ, we'll never see days like that again.

My very favorite interview of Gregg Allmans was the most recently on the show, "The Big Interview with Dan Rather". Each season airs different musicians every Tues night on AXS TV (24/7 music channel). Which BTW is a great channel. I think there's been 4 seasons so far with maybe 5 or 6 interviews in each season. He looked great, his thoughts clear, he spoke of the projects he was working on. He had found a new zest for life without the alcohol and drugs, had a women he loved and that loved him, he seemed happy and excited to do new music and then suddenly not long afterward, I hear the news of his passing. Dan interviewed him in Greggs home. I I'm sure he feels grateful to of had the chance to interview him just before he passed. If you haven't seen this interview, its a must see. Only Dan Rather and his true interviewing skill would ever find the right questions to ask people to get them to express thing they would of never thought to share. One thing was for sure, he definitely got rid of that terrible dentistry in his mouth seen on this YT video. Things looked much more natural in interview with Dan; day and night. Such a big loss for all of us music fans.

[@harrywinslow3946]

Pretty much my favorite show on TV now is The Big Interview. Dan Rather is such a master interviewer that he makes me sit and listen to people who I thought I didn't like, but found out I was wrong.

[@la196]

@@harrywinslow3946 Been following Dan Rathers Big Interviews since the beginning. Like you mentioned, there's people you would have set them aside but suddenly with Dan's interviewing skills, he discloses a part of that person you would have never known, and it's usually a very positive part of that person. Amazing! Here's the line up as of April 2020 for this latest run of interviews: April 15: Huey Lewis April 22: Debbie Harry of Blondie April 29: Don Felder formerly of the Eagles May 6: The Band’s Robbie Robertson May 13: Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson May 20: Don McLlean

Did anybody noticed that the Guitarist started his intro a1/2 note higher than he should have? i caught it when Greg Allman came in on his lower key on the into and the Bass Player looked back at the Guitarist in acknowledging the error

[@midshoreweb]

It's fun to watch Paul's reaction as they start, he's smiling and nodding with the intro, then Gregg starts in the right key, Paul looks at Gregg's hands, then at Sid as Sid corrects and Paul kind of shakes his head at Sid and kind of sighs at the audience - all in the space of 5 seconds. Fabulous correction and performance! Thanks for the upload.

[@reginaldinoenchillada3513]

Great nostalgia. For me, the genius of Paul is how he can always fit in with what everybody else wants to do. Dave, redd, Greg, Paul, am I missing any other legends on this clip?

[@assignmentearth2899]

Fun to see Redd Foxx and Allman,...but the thing I take away from every clip I see these days of Letterman's old show is just how damn good Will Lee is a bass player. He just adds something extra and special to everything he touches. Would love to have Will Lee playing Bass for me. I miss Paul and that band.

[@billmcnabb1037]

I saw ABB 6/16/1971 in Birmingham, Alabama and as a young guitar student I found Bass that night. Berry laid it down. Opened my eyes. Next day my dad purchased a Epiphone black Les Paul custom bass with case and 4x10 Randall amp from the local music store. I was 13 and discovered RockNRoll 🎸 I’ve been to Rosehill Cemetery more times than remember & the Big House backyard shows. Love love love Macon, Ga. It’s 2 1/2 hours east of me. Thx for uploading the video. It means something to us old brothers of the road. 🍄
