- Taped at Radio City Music Hall January 18.
“I remember Dave took me up on stage during one of the commercials and we looked out at the audience of 6,000 people, and he said, ‘Gaines, you’re never going to see something like this again’ and, of course, I haven’t.”
- Barbara Gaines, May 19, 1997
First, the interviews:
1. Katie Couric on "The Today Show," aired in two parts on February 5 and 6.
2. Al Roker on WNBC's "News 4 at 5" (previously called "Live at Five") and "News 4 at 11," aired February 6. Others have uploaded a truncated and reduced video version aired on a local affiliated news channel. Here it's full as it originally aired, both the content and video size.
Then the broadcast, featuring Bill Murray and Bob Dylan. There are other uploads of this show, but this version is in stereo. I edited out a short Stevie Wonder clip during the music highlights reel, because his full appearance on another upload had been blocked.
Plus some extras scattered about. Some of them come from previous uploads from others that have since disappeared. I would credit the sources if I knew who they were.

Feels like this should been THE series finale to the the NBC "Late Night" era.
When it comes to pure Letterman enjoyment, I always turn to Don Giller to satisfy my taste for Late Show/Late Night. The "official" Letterman youtube channel, with its high-quality clips featuring Dave's talented staff, amazing guests and phenomenal band, is all well and good. But give me two-plus hours of just one running gag, actor or musical artist, and I will sit here playing endless rounds of solitaire as one video after another lights up the screen, until a glance at the clock forces me to drag my sorry ass to bed. Thanks, Don.
As somebody who grew up with 2000s Dave on CBS, an iteration it was still a joy to watch up until like 2008ish for me, it's great to finally have a good source for what you'd call "prime" Letterman. I guess I'd say around 2008 because once he'd run out of cheap material for Great Moments in Presidential Speeches the ship started to take on water for me, I'm sure that's at least 8 years last the sell by for most folks.
I had this on tape and probably watched it 100 times. Gold!
See, what Dave and Paul understood was that the music makes a show like this. The smoking big band going in and out of the breaks, setting up and paying off the bits - truly amazing. They even covered for Bob Dylan and his anemic performance.
I never saw or heard of this before. It was so good!
Wow the band was on fire in that 10th Anniversary show!!!
Thanks for this, Don. I’ve never understood how NBC could have looked at this show with these massive, enthusiastic crowds, and picked Leno over Letterman. What I didn’t realize is that when the 10th anniversary show aired, the decision had already been announced.
WNBC's Anchor Team became Legendary. They had a realness and chemistry which them enduring. Thanks for sharing.
I remember telling my mom how much I loved David letterman 25 years ago when I was a kid and she told me she never really liked him that he was a bit of an asshole or how he treated some of the guest....I was actually surprised cuz I'd never seen anything from him but greatness...but I cud see as I got older how he flirted with some of the guest was a little much but so were the times if everyone still over all David Letterman has always been a Legend I really wish I could go back to 1995 to 1997 and just watch David Letterman again...I use to sleep on the couch in the living n stay up late to watch it I remember I was in grade 5 I was tired everyday in class thinking of David Letterman 😁🤣
Thanks, Don.
My brother and I were there, pretty close too. We were on the right side aisle maybe 20 rows back. Great show. The band he put together that night was incredible. Funny, I can't even remember how we got tickets. I guess it was through the mail. Thanks for posting.
was in high school, auto recorded this on vhs to add to my world wide pants collection, great show this was. thanks as always for bringing back what i lost. peace.
I stayed up to 2 watching this last night. Laughed more than I've laughed at any show of any kind for last 5+ years.
I was there! Or was it the rehearsal show. I think it was the rehearsal show.... Thanks, Don!
Those first 10, boy oh boy what a show. Thanks Don.
this dude was (I know he’s alive) the best and no one comes remotely close
If you look back, with the right kind of eyes, you can still see the high water mark.
I remember when I first watched this, it seemed as though Mavis Staples was there to serve as Dylan’s gibberish-to-English interpreter.
Wow, whatta closer! Thx, Don & Dave!
