While on tour, The Everly Brothers and their band appeared on The David Frost Show on May 16, 1972. “Session pro Waddy Wachtel, who’d been asked to join the Everlys’ touring band by then-bandleader Warren Zevon, remembers a slightly more upbeat ending to the Everlys’ first era. 'When I took the job,' he recalls, 'the guitar incident had already happened and people were telling me, "Look, don’t try to get them together, because they hate each other. Just don’t try to mix them up." Within a week, we had the both of them up in our hotel room every night after the show, singing and playing. I’m sitting there, and it’s the Everly Brothers in my room, and it’s the most incredible sound you’ve ever heard in your life. That’s when Donald showed me the open-G intro to "Bye Bye Love." I’ll never forget that. It was like somebody slapped me in the face with a wet towel. On stage we’d been doing the songs all slick and wrong, and I hated it. So I asked him if he’d let me teach the band the right way to play the songs, and he agreed. And that’s how the tour ended.' - Rock Foundations: The Everly Brothers by Dave Simons (Acoustic Guitar magazine, August 2000, No. 92) ------------ MUSICIAN [Magazine]: What sort of gigs did you play with the Everly Brothers? [Warren] ZEVON: Well, that was what was real strange. They played a sold-out gig in Albert Hall, and it'd be just like A Hard Day's Night. They'd send us out one exit to be trampled, so they could get out to their limo through another exit. And then a week later we'd be in an oyster bar in North Carolina playing to three people. And the best thing that I learned from them, and always admired them for, was that they always sang the same, which was as well as they could, which was incredibly good. We had chills all the time; I'm sure Waddy would tell you the same thing. We were real proud to play those songs every night. Because they're great oldies, and they sang them as well as they could. That was real impressive. They didn't get along with each other, and that was real understandable. And I stopped feeling bad about not having made it before I was twenty, from seeing that you didn't really have anywhere to go. The saddest part is that individually they still sing better than anyone else, except maybe dead Elvis- they really do, each individually- but I don't know, their name is Everly Brothers. People are used to the cake with the frosting, and they're reluctant to give an ear to half the recipe. The other great but sad part is that they're the kind of guys who would do the set and then go back to their rooms and play their guitars all night. ... MUSICIAN: Even before thinking of yourself as a songwriter? ZEVON: I thought of myself as a composer first. But, yeah, I've always been coming up with kind of circuitous arguments about being a songwriter. "No, I'm not a songwriter, I'm a composer who occasionally writes lyrics and sets his liner notes to music- which is all bullshit too, I realized. And I realize now that I really am a front man, and that Waddy is a much better bandleader. And that kind of happened from the first time Waddy and I worked together in the Everly Brothers. I was the bandleader, but when the four of us started working together it was evident that Waddy was so gifted at it that, hell, they didn't need a piano player. ... -Musician Magazine - circa 1982 - Warren Zevon Interview Portions of the article at the Waddy Wachtel web site ;void(0)) ;void(0)) Photos from the 4/22/72 show at Pius X Grade School, Milwaukee, WI (Photos by Rich Zimmermann) --- More Waddy Wachtel with the Everly Brothers: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 19th Annual Music Masters Concert Tribute to The Everly Brothers 2014 Don Everly guitar presentation ceremony by The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation 2015 Everly Brothers "Harmonies From Heaven" Documentary 2016   ...
