Note: Dr. John sat in with the World's Most Dangerous Band throughout the February 3, 1988, show, but he had no separate performance. Rather than put together the seconds-length bits from before and after each break, I omitted it here.
Dr. John is probably the most underrated musician in mainstream American music culture. A master piano player and arranger. Who else could turn Silent Night into a jazzy R&B arrangement. If the only records in my music library were Dr. John’s, then I would consider it a very complete collection of great songs and talent.
oh, yeah
Man U miss Mac he was a GREAT MAN and we had something in common which was we both lost a Daughter and I met him down on Bleeker st on the L E S of Manhattan and he helped me so much during the grieving process of the loss of my Daughter and he always had wonderful words of wisdom that were so warm kind and Spiritual and I will never forget his Friendship and he has a place in my Heart! RIP MAC!
I had the honor of meeting and talking with Ms. Sippie Wallace quite a few years ago. Magnificent lady, one of the great experiences of my life. I was also privileged to meet and talk with Dr. John a few times, and I've never been the same again. Absolutely one of the hippest, deepest people I've ever met.
Anyone who doesn't dig Dr. John has no music in thier
soul.RIP,Mac.
I had never heard of him but I now like him.
I miss my friend so much. I’m glad I can at least still watch him perform, thanks to RUclips, but I sure do miss those crazy conversations!
Someone missed a bet by never compiling a Dr. John dictionary -- the words, expressions, and aphorisms he created -- apparently spontaneous, out of thin air -- were an art form in themselves, and we'll hever hear their like again.
Dr John was the first musician of my first concert ever in 1972. He opened for Alice Cooper during the "Schools Out" tour. I remember him coming out in his full New Orleans voodoo regalia. Right place at the right time!
I saw him on that same tour. In Orlando 1972. Amazing performer.
There will never be another. Thank God we still have his music. What a persona, what a talent!
i wasnt born until 75. wish i couldve seent mac back then. i did get his autograph at airport in denver. my copy of louis armstrongs bio. fitting. thanks nite tripper!
larry, any time you were fortunate enough to see Dr John was the right p;lace at the right time. I had at least 50 of those right times, with sippee, Bonnie, The meters and the nevilles. He was a class act and different than ANYONE else. He4 was the tripper that made MANY of my trips enjoyable ones. Hell I dont know what NOLA Jazzfest will be without him, except not as good.
Lucky bastard!
Met his half-brother on Gentilly Ave. after leaving the Jazzfest for the Stones performance. Quite an honor!
Awesome that Dave let The Doctor do his thing on national T.V. Rest In Paradise Dr. John.
R.I.P to both B.B KING and DR.JOHN.
RIP Mac. Man he's the whole city of New Orleans all by himself here damn!
Incredible talent. RIP Dr. John.
The first one alone deserved a special award. Amazing.
Dr. John, my favorite 9 fingered guitar player, lol, now that’s a story to hear, had a finger blown off in a pub and became a piano player! Lol
But still played guitar too....😘
Damn it, why did he have to die! Someone gave me a Dr John DVD about 12 years ago. I've been a fan since . I love this guy for both his piano and his vocals!
if only he could have lived forever like everyone else
I think he got old!
The legendary Dr. John playing with the truly great Paul Shaffer? Now that HAD TO BE a mutual admiration society - two musician's musicians. And Sippie, Bonnie and B.B. to boot - Thanks Don, this is fantastic!
the Doctor along with The Fess is the heart of Nawlins soul..........and Sippie was great...we've lost so many of the greats.Charles Neville too
The BB King performance in 1999 is for the ages...so much soul between 2 people
Sippy Bonnie Dr John now that's Blue's Music at it's Best!!
Mac had been living in Mandeville, La. for awhile, before he passed. Maybe a $250,000.00 home. His health had been going down for some time. He was a humble man. We miss you Mac.
james sholtz 💔
we love you
Just thanks. Thankyou. The world's nonsense fades away when the Doctor plays... 😘
Man you can say that AGAIN!
I am part of the crowd that has been, up to now, unaware of Dr. John's artwork. As late as I am, I am now aware. Count me as a fan in perpituity from tis point forward. God bless you.
Love the old music they'd play on the show. Sure miss Letterman & Dr. John.
Dr. John is a legend, not just for his music, but for the eternity of our human species.
I forgot how much he liked to spice up Christmas, lol
😄.
Ha!, I used to play guitar with G-Love & Jeff (special sauce). . It seems like a lifetime ago, or another planet altogether. Maybe I shouldn't have quit.
I would've jammed with Dr John on David letterman, lol
Jeff plays so great. (Drums)
I miss him ...
I guess Garrett still plays his music.
I'm sure he does
Thanks for collecting all this in one place, dude.
Thank you for this collection man. You're doing your part in keeping the Doc alive!
Seeing Dr. John perform with Charles Brown was my favorite moment. That was special, among a bunch of special moments. I love this. Keeping it in my saved videos.
My fav continues to be "How come my dog don't bark when you come around?"
Barbara Brauer "super blue blade adjustable stainless steel will cut you both ways comin' and goin'"...
One of my family’s favorites as well! Hilarious!
Don, been viewing your amazing work for awhile now. Just thought I'd drop in to say thank you and my sincere sympathy for the collective lose of another great, Dr. John.....some of the sweetest, finest tunes I ever danced, romanced, drank and fell in love to...Not necessarily in that order!! God Bless you, Doc! Sacha Littlefeather
Thanks!!
Thank you Don.
Godspeed Dr. John....
best grandma ever!
Thank you for compiling this! Dr. John lives on forever through his vast musical legacy. Farewell gris girs man.
Love all the Xmas songs and styles, especially the blues.
I bet Paul was in heaven with Doc AND Charles.
Great compilation, Don. I especially like the call-out to Darlene Love @ 21:04, followed by Paul playing “(Christmas) Baby Please Come Home.” Wonderful foreshadowing of things to come.
Letterman introduced me to many artists, Dr. John was one of the first. So thankful, great clips , thanks for sharing
Good lookin' out my brother. RIP The Mighty Night Tripper.
Great post. He was the real deal. Put on a tight show at Tipatina's back in the 90s in spite of the fact that he didn't own nor could perform many of the songs he was known for. Does anyone know if he was ever able to buy them back? Many musicians have with go fund me.
So glad i got to finally meet you Mac . I waited 25 years and walked with you to your car and you asked me to hold you snake cane . That and seeing you live made my musical life complete. I keep playing piano and singing your tracks in my set 😎
Thanks so much for posting this! Awesome!!
Amazing trio of folks !
Oh My God! This Is great!
So funny how Dave is so nervous when he first introduces him and so comfortable when he does last.
Professor Longhair taught the good Doctor well!
And then the Doctor taught Jon Cleary
Dr John soaked it all up like a sponge. I dont think The professer actually taught him, he just let him experience it and soaked it up. My life has been better for seeing them the many times I was lucky enough to do so. Jazzfest wont be the same, and it is the best venue and concert in the world as far as I am concerned.
Thanks much for posting this.
Thanks for putting this together. It’s always a pleasure watching the good doctor do his thing. Music for the soul!
Thank you, Don.
Thank you very much for this! RIP Mac
Thank you so much, Donz!! This is incredible! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Such joy he spread through music will live on ,hopefully forever, thanks to you, in part.
Thanks for putting this together, Don!
Thanx for showing us this dude!
Thanks for this, I never watched letterman ( or much TV at all) but I DO love Dr John. RIP
in the fullness of his years..
farewell
Fantastic! Thanks for posting this..

That final piano break on "Such A Night" was sweeeet!
