Cleanup necessary[edit]

Section headers need to be wikified and renamed so they aren't POV. Discography needs to be wikified as well. Rhobite 01:52, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also the tone needs a lot of work. Parts of the article read like they were written by Sancious' publicist. Wasted Time R 04:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article is considerably better now, if not great, so I've removed the cleanup tag. Wasted Time R 22:10, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wasted Time, Thank you for the improvements you have made to this page. It looks much better now. Feel free to improve further if you wish. Djln --Djln 00:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

David Letterman Band, both on NBC and CBS[edit]

I know from being a longtime viewer that Paul Shaffer has had David Sancious sit in with the band for decades. But that's original research. Anybody know where we can source (and add) something about Sancious' connection to Letterman, Shaffer and the Letterman shows? David in DC 17:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

Discography needs cleanup. Don't remember seeing him on every one of those Peter Gabriel albums.

Silence? or Improvisation?[edit]

On Sunday, December 14, 1980, during the ten minutes' silence organized in memory of the recently murdered John Lennon, Sancious performed an extended improvisation based upon Lennon's Across the Universe.

Was he making sounds? If he was making sounds, how was there a "ten minutes' silence" ??

Or was this a silent improvisation, a la Cage's 4'33"?

Clearer wording, or some explanation is needed here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 23:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1972-1974[edit]

The timeline of Sancious's activities circa 1972 to 1974, when he was evidently shuffling back and forth between Richmond, Virginia and his native Jersey Shore, is unclear in the article as it currently exists, and it doesn't necessarily match up with the timelines in related articles such as E Street Band. One thing which previous editors may have overlooked is the simple fact that Virginia and New Jersey are not a huge distance apart: only 300 miles and 6 hours' drive time. It is entirely feasible that Sancious was working in both states at the time. On May 31, 1973, Springsteen and Sancious appeared on a local Richmond FM station, and between songs, they both indicate that they had been to Richmond many times in previous years.^[1]Timothy Horrigan (talk) 20:44, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
