PJ was not on Letterman during the Ten/VS days?

No they did SNL but the first true Letterman performance was Hail Hail for No Code. Although Ed did show up in the early days to sing a few lines off Black.

I remember when they did SNL in I believe 93. But wow weird they didn't do Letterman until 96.

How did we six pages in without this being posted?

Love this song. Love this performance too.

Right around this time, this new thing called Napster had launched me from Pearl Jam fan to Pearl Jam fanatic. I was a freshman in college and super psyched about Binaural (I was also blown away that I has access to five or six of the Binaural songs before the album got released.) and this Letterman performance. I really had not watched Letterman up to this point.

About two years later, I'd be seeing the debut of "Save You" on Letterman for PJ's two-song sting on the show.



You can hear my asshole 20-year-old self yell right after Dave says, "Jaaaam"

foo fighters will be on tonight, should be everlong.

I wondered if they'd make an appearance.

You missed the first word in the thread title, Stickman.

First time I've heard of these guys, this is quite good.

Separation Sunday is a must album.

This was actually quite a solid performance. Dave still sounds pretty good when he isn't punctuating every second line with "COME ON!!" or "OH YEAH!!".

Bob Dylan sure was acting stand-offish at the end of his last performance on David Letterman. what a douche.

I've been working my way back through this thread's youtube clips in order, y'know - just for shits and giggles - and I just have to say that this performance makes me so goddamn happy.
