John Mayall on Letterman, June 21, 1990

And to think that this was the great music we used to listen to! How low have we come today! Mr. Mayall, such a personality, such a legend!

[@rogerbixley6911]

Such a great guy. I first saw him in 1966 in Leicester England

Many thanks for this. I did not see it when it aired, but it's great to see Mayall get on US network TV. He's in fine form and of course, he's ALWAYS got a great band. It's always great to see blues music of any kind get a wide audience. It would be more popular than it is if more people were exposed to it.

Good segment with John Mayall's music getting some U.S. television exposure.

This shit came out at a time before I was even born, Anne here I am, watching as if the only there is to watch. His showmanship is sublime.

[@FRANKIESIXTOES]

[@dongiller]

Wow. Thanks letting us know.

[@renhoek3851]

I wonder who that guitar player was, he's fantastic

[@dongiller]

That's Coco Montoya. I should have mentioned that in the description. Will do that now.

[@bytoriasnowdoggy]

Dig it!

[@adamjosephelkhadem873]

Unrelated to this video, but was "Weird Al" Yankovic ever on Letterman? I'd be interested to see that episode if it exists.

[@dongiller]

Nope; he never appeared on both Late Night and Late Show.

[@AntonioBarsanio]

No doubt Britain is a very beautiful Land but the weather would get me down. CLoudy days are important and necessary but all the time? It can lead to depression at least on me it would. No wonder John Mayall moved to California.

[@ibberman]

So Peter Green was just someone from Fleetwood Mac, not worth mentioning.

[@dongiller]

Mac; Fleetwood Mac.

[@michaelsullivan231]

Only the best of the best got the chance to play with with John Mayhall
