I was up late last night watching Zevon videos on youTube. There are a lot of good Letterman performances, spanning twenty years. They had a good friendship. It was very moving during Zevon's last visit. He had terminal cancer and told Dave, "I may have made a tactical error by not going to a physician for twenty years." Then, at Dave's request, he performs Roland. I'd give the links, but youTube is blocked at my state job.

Just about to queue up Hendrixs' Valleys Of Neptune

I want to hear what you think... please

WOW...just finished the entire album, absolutely stunning....Lover Man and Red House made the hairs on my arms stand up.....this album makes my setup just shine....I cannot wait until my sub is in next week....I will play this again when the wife and kids are out and set the beast free! Hendrix will always be the undisputed heavy weight!

Yeah, that's how I started listening to him. I did always enjoy when Zevon would fill in for Paul.

I took out my dusty Blue Man Group "Audio" DVD-A the other day, spin it using the Oppo BDP-80, this is the 1st time I play the DVD-A with my Axiom and the SVS sub.....

Man...how a lot of things I've missed out using my ex-gear...playing close to 75db, sitting 10 feet from the M60, I still can feel the power of the drum beat and soft massage on my feet....wonderful....

until the 6 songs, my wife came back and had to soften the volume, but I felt no "ummmph.." and shut off the player...

for those of you who had this DVD-A, go listen to it tonight :p

Doc, because this is worth the while sharing, here are the links to his last appearance with David Letterman....

Zevon and Letterman, great stuff!

@CV: I liked how they always kept a Paul Shaffer lookalike in the wings just in case something went wrong. Then they added the Zevon lookalike.

@RickF: Thanks! Apparently Warren was to have been the fist musical guest when Late Night premiered in Feb, 1982, but it didn't work out one way or another. He finally got on in Sept '82 and the rest is history. He was the only guest on that final show, right?

The Cars....song after song of great music.

Rhapsody on the 3808 this a very nice 'new feature'. I wonder if I will feel the same once I am forced to pay for it, probably not.
