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...

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.
sorry Don but you and I both know damn well we are💒🎶🎤😮😮😮😮 preaching to the choir🙄😉😂
I read the description after watching. I thought the key change was intentional. They didn't miss a beat correcting it.
Classic and classy Redd and Gregg
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

0:34 Paul notices the wrong key...
Great clip Don!
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.
what an amazing encounter!
Wow❤
Great and humble
In Boynton Beach Fla Derek and Susan came into the Fish Depot bar n grill and hung out and partied with me and my friends until the bar closed! They were awesome and fun.
How cool!! Can I as what year was that?
Met Gregg at a dive bar looking at the Saint Augustine Bridge of Lions. He wandered in and sang ~5 songs with the house band, with maybe 15 people inside. Very down to earth and softspoken. Great vocals...
Saw him do a solo show in 90s In a small but very popular venue in Southern New England Just Gregg,a stool ,a guitar. He was😃👍👍 absolutely SUPERB‼️‼️🎶📻🌜✨🌌✨🌛..REDD FOXX I ALSO ADOOOORRE!!💙
@@veronicagallo2035 which venue? Asking as a Rhode Islander
I can't imagine what you must have been feeling. Like holy ....!
I am as Green w/envy-As the Incredible Hulk!
Man! What a blessing to have heard in that intimate setting! Lucky dog You 😊😊😊
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.
Wait, he said something? Did I miss it! Haha
He kicked alcohol heroine cocaine and cigarettes all at one time. That is legendary
@@WellseeTheend
And Cher... Don't forget his Worse Addiction...😉
I miss him too. It really hit me when he passed.
The best voice ever. Class act. ML&R
I cried for 3 days when he passed. Still crying today over Dicky passing a few days ago. Greg Almond was the most soulful white boy to ever sing a note!! Almond Brothers is and always will be my most favorite band and Greg, is my most favorite male vocals of this entire life time. R. I. P. Gregg! 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. I love you all 3 soooo much and can't wait to hear y'all when I get in!!!
It’s extremely painful when our favorites pass away. I loved the almond brothers band. I wanted to point out one other soulful singer… His name was Cory Wells and he was in the band three dog night he passed away approximately six or seven years ago. I hope the hell there is a rock ‘n’ roll Heaven somewhere out there. ☁️⭐️🌫
Oops… Should be Allman
Cry over people you don't even know or how to spell his name, come on now.
Almond..😂 or was it peanut, or pistachio?
Yeah, I cry every day for old Gregg, Dwayne , Dicky. When o when will it stop
There it goes again. Sob, tear, sniff.
The Allman Brothers band was a musical gift we all got to enjoy. It is ridiculous how good those guys were
Nothing like Django Reinhardt!
I got to see them live back in the 90’s. This is when it was the original members, Allen Woody on bass & Warren Haynes in place of Duane of course. It was an awesome outdoor concert.
Musical horse shit is more like it
@@ehthomas3511 ur nuts
@@ehthomas3511 Not your cup of tea, mate? That's alright. Stick to what you like and disrespect what you don't. That's your way, is it?
Gregg was such a cool dude. Redd Foxx bursts in and Gregg was cracking up and it's clear the two were friends. Rest in peace to both men. Awesome video.
So cool that they knew each other. Maybe he knew Duane also. Redd Foxx. A former long haired Hippie. I can see it! Rip to Gregg and Redd. Big fans of both.
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
We just didn't know how good we had it .
MAKE IT Dude, you’re SO CORRECT
We did have it good. I told my sister in her early sixties now, getting old sucks but boy did we get lucky with our generation of music. There will always be some new talent, but hard to beat 60s & 70s music.now please send me back 😁
So so true. Now, where is my time machine? :)
Brian Dubois not true, not to this degree .. at the time i probably would have agreed with you, which is why the OP said we didnt know how good we had it
What I wanna know is....how did it all get lost to more of it???
Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.
@maxx mabemwe it does fly.... I tell my kids all the time..... just be busy being a kid...... don't be in no hurry to grow up....... I would go back in a heart beat the good and bad times
@maxx mabemwe I'm tick-tocking to 70 this summer. The 70s seem like yesterday.
"We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we choose. We'd fight and never lose. Those were the days, oh yes those were the days". Indeed.
@@brianbullivant4753,BRAVO!✌
@@michaelgaynor6866All thanks and praise go to Mary Hopkin. I have read of varying claims as to the songs origin, but remember her version from 1969. Damn, I'm old!
gregg stood in no ones shadow,one of the best singers in rock history,and having a brother who is definitely one the best lead guitarists to have lived,whipping post and one last silver dollar did it for me,RIP YOU GENIUS YOU
Greg was such a cool guy. Modest, laid back. A real gentleman.
Read his autobiography. See if you still think he's a gentleman.
He laid Cher. What more can we say.
@@sartainja "Laid" is a nice way of putting it 😏
@@sartainja and, was a bad father to their son.
@@katystarr3257 Which means he admitted he was no gentleman. He was a badass though.
I noticed this show aired on November of 1987. My folks were in Vegas in September of 1987, and I remember my mom telling me she saw Redd playing a slot machine there. My mom went up to Redd and asked him if he was Redd Fox, and Redd replied, "yes I is."
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. 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.
RIP to both Redd And Greg. 2 Legends in music and entertainment history. Great job thanks for posting.
If we could only hear him sing live one more time!!!
Hear his music. He never dies
Maybe you can! He,s no Angel !,I loved him too,I liked Duane Allmans Midnight Rider, it was slower!
I swear I didnt know he was gonna do it!
He’s signing with the Choir of Angels, in a loftier place….
I’m 62 and God I miss those days of TV
2:18 love Gregg's natural howl. Love Gregg Allman, period.
Redd saying "my hair used to be that long"...priceless!
😂 I was struggling to picture it. Then I recalled my (caucasian) mother’s unfortunate foray into the afro hairstyle in the mid 70’s.
So badass solid so f ing cool
Two giants, Foxx and Allman. Man how I miss the old David Letterman!
My God you are SOOOO right.T.V the way it use to be.R.I.P to both Redd Foxx and Greg Allman.
Letterman on NBC was the best. He was good on CBS but his NBC days were classic.
It was the best back in the day.
Fuk yea early Dave the best
@@don62snodgrass
Absolutely right!
The NBC time period was magic... new, fresh, exploring quirky fun, and the call-backs were legend.
I had just hot a state of the art STEREO tv from RCA. Few shows were in stereo,... but that stereo LED coming on, right when the Late Show started, awesome.
Musical performances that were killer, w/Paul and the Most Dangerous Band... tight, pros.
Night after night, the heyday.
What a voice. Him and his brother and the allmans band gave birth to the 1970s.
Wish we could go back to this day & time...😊
Before cell phones
What a voice. Most singers only wish they could sound that soulful.
Redd foxx with Aunt Esther was the best comedy EVER!!!!!
You ever hear any of Lawanda Page's comedy albums, she was just as raw as Red or Richard Pryor was in the late 70's
They were great together. In real life they loved eachother as great friends. I've seen an interview before with red talking about their friendship and he said she was a wonderful woman
Redd, not red
“You fish-eyed fool”‼️ Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son
@Hope Diamond Watch it sukkah!
Greg giving a standing ovation to another legend. Classy.
Greg seemed happy and healthy and clearly having a good time and Red Foxx was in wonderful spirits and health as well. If you have never heard Red Roxx do his real act, then you are missing something special.
He's bloated from booze
Gregg seemed like a cool, quite guy. Awesome voice and talent. He will be missed greatly.
He had but eventually beat his demons. He was, at heart, a Southern gentleman as this video clearly displays.
He did a movie whose name escapes me where he played a badass drug dealer. He was perfect for the role. He was great in it. Damn wish I could recall the name.
Rv4 Guy The movie 🎥 was called "RUSH" starring Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh . That was a good movie and I agree Gregg played the part perfectly. It came out in 1991.
I don't know I'm a northerner but when I travel through the South I was kind of taken back by the people down there there's a certain coolness about all of them it's a shame that the North and the South had so many well or maybe one thing that we just didn't see eye to eye on to Shane we tried to kill each other
@@arlenmargolin1650 MEDIA
I miss those days the simplest of things and we were happy.
Me too. Baby Boomers had the best generation. Never to be duplicated ❗✌️💖🤙
We lost Gregg Allman today at age 69. RIP, 5/27/17 He had quite the career.
Thinking... it's not often a Superstar like Allman, comes back years after their peak commercial success, and scores a universally solid hit such as I'm No Angel...
Good stuff
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.
That show’s here - ua-cam.com/video/7sOcCl1IjMs/v-deo.html
Pretty cool how quickly the band adjusted to starting out in the wrong key, didn't miss a beat! I'm sure it was the bands mistake Gregg knows what key he plays his own song in. And I must say his vocal on the song was flawless! One of the greats!
Ya, I was looking to see if anyone else caught that. It sounded like the Bass player screwed up. Greg looked over at him,.. and the Bass player was sort of smiling sheepishly..
It was Sid the guitarist, he starts the intro in the wrong key
Sid started in the wrong key lol
They both died right around the age of 70, these two had a great connection, two legends on that stage!
So glad my I was raised on this music .
Strong memories will never be matched . At that time , I was too young to really appreciate all the good times like I relish now . We still jam his music and always will as there are no Musicians like Duayne & Greg Allman ... RIP but the Music will live forever ...
I'm so damn grateful I got to see the Allman Brothers so many times. Such talent, I miss them live so much but they left us all a BEAUTIFUL LEGACY...RIP 💔
Gregg's a good interview. He was valedictorian of his high school. Very thoughtful guy. Too bad he didn't get to show it.
Had no idea! How very cool.
Most likely his own request
Not
@@spencerbali9225 surprised he didn't give his seat up to redd
Yep. He was going to medical school when Duane talked him into giving the Rock and Roll thing a try.
R.I.P 🌷 Gregg Allman May 27th / 2017 Safe Journey Home 🌷 Duane and Gregg together after 46 years. .Rockin ' in the Heavens ✌❤ Never Forgotten 🎧✌❤
Addylicious Joyal And Mama A. RIP Gregory
Addylicious Joyal , I read in Rolling Stone Mag that Greg shot Duane in the foot so he would flunk his physical after he got drafted. What a great little brother.
Michael Oedy I understood Gregg shot his own foot, not Duane. It was Duane's idea. Gregg read up on the anatomy of the foot and picked the best spot. Just what I read.
Michael Oedy interesting. ..Just glad Music lives Forever and the Memories too 🌷👍
brenda gans , you are correct. Duane was exempt from the draft in 65' because he was the eldest son. Gregg did do it himself. Duane called the ambulance before Gregg did it,....sort of daring him. Great story.
I bet everyone knew where they were when this song erupted on everyone's radio!! RIP GREG ALMAN. YOU WERE A TRUE LEGEND
that ole Georgia boy sure could tear it up... R.I.P. Greg
Krazy Rock, that good old Georgia boy could sure SNITCH on his dealer. To save his own bitch ass! He's a no shamer!
@Laverne Johnson no he was not.....born and raised in Macon Georgia
@Laverne Johnson
"Molly Hatchett" and "The Outlaws" were from Florida.....2 of my fav Southern Rock bands......
@@olderthanyoucali8512 All "dealers" should be snitched on!
Born in Tennessee. Moved to Florida when he was a kid
"Come and let me show you my tattoo." Loved this song!
Gregg and Duane
riding together again
R.I.P. BROTHERS
THE ROAD GOES ON
FOREVER
amen brother r.i.p. midnight riders
& Dickie Betts
I love the Allman bros. Band too bad more young people don’t know about them.
@@jrdebossar Dickey Betts is alive but yes the road goes on forever and long live the brothers of the road.
Don't forget Barry Oakley driving that Rythm
To be born with that voice is uncanny. I heard him during a tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd. He sang Tuesdays Gone with the Wind. He made it greater.
Is that on UA-cam I'd love to hear it
When they recorded "At Fillmore East" Greg was only 23 years old. He had the voice of an old Bluesman twice his age!
Wow, that’s cool.
RIP Gregg Allman. We loss one of the GREAT ONES.
Like he said, I'm no Angle. Who of us are.
THE ONE AND ONLY
🌟🎸🌟REST. IN. PEACE. BLUES. MAN!!!!!! You are dearly missed🌟🌹🌟
Thx for uploading this. Letterman was more polite than usual;) Gregg was a gentleman as usual, and great performance. And Redd, one of a kind . Bless them all
Both these guys were class acts.. 2nd to none in their field.. May they rest in peace in never be forgotten Amen 🙏
I was a young man just getting started in life, when first saw you perform this song. Time sure flies by fast. Godspeed, Gregg. RIP
I have grown to enjoy seeing (hearing) great and well known musician's make a mistake, it is a reminder that they are human. In the age of auto-tune and plugins, I love the imperfections of an actual human performance. They got back on track like the pro's they are, and did a great job with the song.
Yeah, but that was pretty bad lol
Lucky enough to see them. One of the best concerts I’ve seen. No bullshit.
I grew up in Pasadena Maryland, one night a friend says Gregg Allman is playing down at a Club not far from us! Back in the day,I hitchhiked there as fast as I could......sure enough he was there! It was incredible. ✌
Saw the allman brothers in nassau colisiuem circa 1975 I was around 16
IL never forget it what a band and of course Greg's great voice
Allman smoking at the end and the Sanford & Son theme intro playing during the appearance of Foxx...good stuff!
Thanks for including Redd Foxx. He was really something.
Gregg you are a rock n roll angel now, and you are very much missed.
It looked like Gregg really enjoyed Redd crashing in on his facetime with Dave...and oh how I love to know how Redd Foxx and Allman got to know each other...I bet that was one helluva party!
Same here, Gregg is so laid back and soft spoken, Foxx is so opposite.
A LOT of drugs, women and alcohol.
What an era of TV gone...

Gregg Allman is an absolute legend. Can't believe that they pushed Red in so early. Should have given Gregg a few minutes to speak after his excellent performance.
I am very offended by your transphobic comment... it's Greg Allwomxn, you silly goose!
I wanted to see more Redd Foxx and not be tortured by that shitty song.
@@shawnkessel8202 oh come on now that was uncalled for.
Gregg already spoke with his music. Red is a comedian on a comedians show. It wasn't an accident.
It was a running gag they had that week. They’d have 1 person and another from a completely different form of entertainment would do the interview.
Always loved this song. Gregg Allman a classic, nope a musical legend.
Me too
RIP to the Southern Rock legend. THank you for your songs brother.
classic. beautiful. funny how greg waves the cigar near redd and he almost goes to grab it like a joint being offered. or maybe he was just avoiding getting burned. saw greg at a table one morning at the chateau marmont in Hollywood (maybe a year before he passed).. he was looking dapper and hangin with a beautiful woman. Crossed paths with him briefly in the lobby and I said thanks for all of it man. He just nodded politely. We need the spirit of both of these men in our world now. thanks for posting.
Greg had a real passion for the music he felt. He was great at making you feel what he felt. His music would reach down into your soul and pull out that laid back feel to life. He is missed.
Redd Foxx and Greg Allman . 2 og's of their craft!
I seen interview with G.A.son Michael ask ed him the best thing about his Dad said he was a true SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN, it shows right here.
Loved his Music, Soulful Southern Voice, Great American Music !!!!!!!! Long Lived Gregg Allman
RIP Gregg Allman what a good time you provided to young and old rebels.
I'm one of the last
I remember seeing this live...my freshman year of college! Sid Mcginnis was great and covered his "goof" really well. Great and sad at the same time seeing Redd Foxx and Gregg Allman...loved both of them and really miss them.
Rip in peace Gregg, feels like I lost a family member.
I like the way Will just casually turns towards Sid. Too cool!
Got to see The Allman Brothers in the 1970's...The Eagles were the openers, leading with their first hit record, Witchy Woman.
Their first hit was Take It EZ but who's counting
Where was that show? How really magical!
does you eagle's roots come from seinfeld? they had better albums before that.
I really miss late-night talk shows you can watch and be entertained by them
Some are still like that!!!
RIP Gregg Allman. Thank You for your music.
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 )
Loved that fellow Southern Brother.RIP Greg and give Duane a hug for me.
Very few voices in rock music I would call legendary, but Gregg's is one of them.
Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Greg Allman, Elvis Presley, just to name a few. Of course, it's only relative to who is listening, as we all hear music differently. What you like is what you like, so my legends might not be the next guys legend. What's important is to listen to all you can and find out what touches our soul.. Peace🤘
@@MichaelHutchings607885 man, I must be such a moron to have forgotten so many great singers, lol. In all seriousness, my comment wasn't meant to be interpreted in any kind of way other than what it says, very few. That could be 5, 10, 25 singers, all I am saying is Gregg had an incredible voice, nothing more, nothing less.
@@charlesdjones1 lol . No dude, I didn't mean any disrespect to your comment. You are completely right with what you said, I was just thinking out loud I guess about the great singers I've been blessed to hear in my lifetime. Sorry if it came out as a diss to your comment. Was just carrying on the conversation. Much peace to you bro, you have great taste in music.. 👏👏
thank you for uploading this
When the ALLMAN BROS landed on the music scene, a Totally different genre emerged & Ruled!! Loved that band..RIP THE GREAT GREG ALLMAN!!
This was on my birthday and the Corvette I bought is 1987 also. A great year and so sad we lost Redd Foxx and Gregg Allman.
Love the look on Paul's face "Oh shit, that was f*%ked up." The guitar recovered quickly. Gregg Allman never even flinched.
Gregg is a live playing pro. Shit happens, ya just keep going like it didn't. lol
Gregory Larry 10-4
ron rasberry I was thinking the same thing. Gregg was like, nope, follow me kid. God Bless Gregg Allman.
the whole band looked back at him..lol....
Gregory Larry
I have watched this 20+ times and I cannot find the part where the guitarist messed up.
Gregg is AWESOME. 💞
What a true class-act! Greg stepping aside and turning limelight over to (walk-on promoter) Redd Foxx ..with dignity and grace.
@@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.
@@larryhinze8658 I gots to agree.
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..
I was 21 years old, and playing lead guitar in a thrash metal band in 1987. Great memories. And Redd Foxx wearing leather pants... you gotta love it!
You can't say that and end it there! What band?
Your music will always have a place in my heart. Rest in Peace, brother
I remember that show! Greg Allman was great. Red Foxx is such a hilarious comedian. Go check out his old albums if you get a chance.
Gregg will be missed by fans all around the world...R.I.P. man..
One of my favorite song's Gregg Allman & Redd Fox one of the best comedians.
Such great memories of the old LETTERMAN show.they were the BEST
R.I.P to both GREGG ALLMAN and REDD FOXX.
Man! Great to see these two guys again. A couple of "greats" in their own ways. Brings back memories.👍
Wow. I'm gonna listen to a lot more Greg Allman. Great voice and artistry. Wow.
I heard Queen of hearts on a local radio station of Gregg Allman. I have never been a fan of this band but I was blown away and I just purchased slip away from him great song
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.
Like scars in fine leather.......... : )
Thanks for posting that , big Gregg Allman fan ,nice to see him again and Redd to .
Short but sweet, one of my favorite musicians
and one of my favorite comedians of all time
wish this video was an hour long.
Wow, just found this...what a throw back.....thanks!
Greg was a true gentleman from the south and one of the great ones from a gone by era
many thanks don giller, priceless is this capture of true icons.
Both legends. Rest in peace.
Greg. Your FRIENDS MISS YOU...I grew up in Macon Georgia,. saw your shows and miss You...
Love the Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman just has a one-of-a-kind voice! It's just so unique and so awesome! ❤️
what a treasure to see- Earlier in life Gregg had the looks of an altar boy- and gifted with this bluesy raucous Voice- are u kidding me? dave always brought on such incredible musical talent- i am gonna push this over 2 million views- real Quick
God!!! I miss those days those two bros and a whole gang of others made me laugh and soothed my aching Soul!!! Now I cry and my Soul is gone I swear I'm no Angel
god bless this great gift to music love you and brothers forever Derek carry the torch
Always loved his voice and this band.
Beautiful music!
Fantastic 😅 I've given my Allman brothers music to my nephew and niece! They luv it in a few
Love The Allman Bros......got to see them along with The Outlaws in Lincoln Nebraska back in like 1979.....my first concert.
Allman smoking a cigar on Letterman= Priceless
I could listen to that voice every day. 😍
So letterman from the early 80's. Right after I got back from overseas and realized how far behind we were left. The kind part :)) I like that that moment in time at the Azores. I'm a better person today more relaxed. 1983-1984 loved a new arrival. My son is more well rounded and educated than if I were a part of that time.
