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

Gregg performs "I'm No Angel" as Sid Mcginnis makes perhaps his only mistake in his 31-year run on Dave's shows, starting the song a half step higher but correcting himself as soon as Will Lee and Gregg come in.
In the next segment, Gregg begins to chat with Dave but is interrupted by a "surprise" walk-on by Redd Foxx.
Redd Foxx was the last of several other "surprise" walk-ons throughout the show's hour: Christopher Reeve, Willard Scott, Susan Saint James, Peter Allen, and a joke walk-in by Biff Henderson.
Gregg had sat in with the band, and he was keenly aware of that night's "surprise walk-on" theme, so he was fully prepared for Foxx's spot.
I uploaded another Gregg Allman appearance on Letterman, which includes two music performances and one full interview, here: • Gregg Allman on Letter...

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 know your brother was waiting for long time to see you again and, well Dicky just had to join. Guess he knew y'all would be Heaven's house band and just couldn't let the show go on without him.

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. Well that Saturday I said "let's see who is playing at the House of Blue". Low and behold it was Gregg and Friends. What a concert and what a Blessing it was.

A Redd Foxx walk-on after Gregg Allman reels in the guitar player starting in the wrong key and the last thing Letterman says is "tomorrow we'll be coming to you from a Times Square hotel with Hunter Thompson and Carly Simon." Go ahead .. tell me this generation will have something like this to look back on in thirty years.

You are quite right. Gregg is one of a kind but I've always known that those of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's got something musically that probably no other generation was going to see. So miss Gregg and Duane and I hope they are happy where they are and loving their time on the other side with the rest of their family... :-(

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.

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

Fabulous correction and performance! Thanks for the upload.
