I'm with you. Letterman lost a lot of his edge over the last decade, but the shows these last few months have been fantastic.

I'd say if anyone has lost some edge its burt

I can't stand him. He was lazy and boring fo rmost of his CBS stint. But it was nice after he announced his retirement and started having on old timers and people he wanted to have on, regardless of the ratings. Its unfortunate that his show only stopped sucking when he decided to quit.

I'm still edgy. Or maybe I'm mellowing out.

It's sad how fandom can cloud judgement...

I'd say it's pretty damn depressing

well that was really nice...its hard to be exited with a song like Betterman, i mean i love it but im really tired with it...but i thought it was really nice and Ed seemed so into it.
I realize he is now the rock star icon everybody wanted him to be in the 90s and thats nice. I really like that.

Big applause here for him.

the cbs orchestra wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy outperformed eddie

Got some if you need it

Not a lot

Just...some

that performance was a solid #2, heh.

Yeah, that was nice.

The performance was fine by me. I always enjoy when someone from the band is on tv. And I try and view PJ more from an outsiders point of view now, which is hard bc we know so many details, have heard so many performances. We have a very skewed viewpoint. From that, the performance was fine. Guaranteed 98% of people watching were thinking, "woah awesome, Eddie vedder! This is so cool!" And it wasn't a performance for us, it was a performance for Dave and his band. And they seemed like they were thoroughly happy.

ugh.

has ed taken up smack? how does he find it so hard to keep in time with a song as simple as better man? it seriously looked like he was struggling to play guitar at all. that was even worse than when they played mother on jimmy fallon and ed didn't know the lyrics.

if you can't sing any more just give it up dude. stick to the lower-register solo stuff.

Is the wrong guy retiring?

That's the irritating thing is that his slower, lower stuff can be so on point (eg. solo shows)

Gentlemen,

I'm back and I'll be honest.... that performance. That one. There. It brought me.. back. I'm back on board. Ed and the Letterman band , they brought me back. But, mostly Ed's amazing performance of Betterman. Wow was that good. Amaz----zin'!

Count 1 for the "five star rank" in our scientific poll.






































oh and for the haters...

I hope this doesn't make it onto the Christmas single...

Wait.........should I watch this or not? Maybe I should just listen to it.

Watch it with the sound turned down. Like we used to watch Baywatch.
