Do some research before you make pronouncements. Read Crystal Zevon's book about Warren. Dave Letterman was Warren's most ardent fan and true supporter. Warren was eternally grateful to Dave for this.
Paul Shaffer, the creator of the idiotic musical intros for Fun Facts, Will it Float and Smalltown News, among others. Great band. Lousy conductor/amateur comedian. I feel sorry for the great talent in the band that has to be fronted by such a jerk as Shaffer.
What a refreshing relief from Shaffer!! Would that Dave could dump Paul and find someone who isn't just musically gifted like Paul, but also able to contribute something useful and humorous to the show, without being an obnoxious interruption like Paul.
I wish someone would post his performance of "Genius" on Letterman done on his last appearance. It was the only time I ever saw Warren conduct strings. I knew he had written a symphony and had conducted an orchestra but never got to see it till then. I have it but I just have to figure out how to upload it!
I remember this. I still have all the old appearances of him from Letterman on disc. The next appearance is funny too because not only does Dave have someone who looks like Paul waiting in the wings but he also has someone who looks like himself and Warren too. Hysterical!
LMAO @ the "spit take".lol Every Warren Zevon fan should read his biography, by his ex-and-only-wife, Crystal Zevon. It's titled, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead".... I loved this guy back in the day and after reading his story, I love him even more.
Thanks so much for posting this. I didn't know WZ had been on letterman so much until his last visit on the show. I've loved his music for ages. Mostly listened when my husband would put something on in the car. Then I heard he had cancer and was so so sad. Anyway, I'm glad I can see the old videos now because I missed out the first time.
Jesus, could you imagine Warren visiting Leno? "Well, Jay, all I can say is, enjoy every sandwich." "Hey, Warren, that's great. All the best. Here, it is, folks, Warren's tribute alb...Sorry, got a little confused there. See you tomorrow, everyone, when my guests will be Richard Gere and the Dancing Itos!"
Warren was one of a kind and truely missed in this world. Thanks for posting this video... his relationship with David Letterman was important... Warren said that David Letterman was the best friend that his music ever had. I miss his presence in this world.
R.I.P. Warren....and Hunter while Im at it

interesting...during that time that paul was "on vacation",there were a string of rapes in nearby beach vacation areas of the upper east coast.
at that same time paul schaeffer was photographed enjoying a pina colada and staring at a scantily clad young boy playing in the sand.
that young boy was later found bound and bleeding from his anus. police say he "smelled like fruit, booze and cum".
schafer refuses to comment, other than, "i was in toronto, and besides-it happens all the time".
