His statement about not taking live music for granted really rings true right now.
-
"I used to have a tv show"...he's really humble to put it that way. Like, yeah Dave, you had THE show. I love Letterman
-
To a band who was just more than a band , they were part of a movement!! And to have David Letterman induct you into the rock hall of fame is priceless!!
-
I'm so glad he was the one who got to do this. He absolutely loved Eddie
-
I know this is about Pearl Jam, but can we give a hand to David Letterman who is still so damn funny at 70 years old, loves the best music, promotes it, and you can feel his passion for that era of grunge alternative rock.
-
A band that dont even need an introduction. Well deserved. PJ have been a huge part of my life, and always will be.
-
saw them in 92 at the MTV music awards here in L.A...what a show .Pearl Jam..Nirvana..Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Crowes...what a line up
-
I love that Dave plugged Warren Zevon's induction, and Eddie played a Warren Zevon song for him when Dave got the Mark Twain award.
-
I love how Eddie's wife was crying when she heard Dave read the letter
-
"Live music is a gift." And theres truly not many bands better at giving that gift than Pearl Jam.
-
Anyone that hasn’t seen the letterman episode when he can’t stop humming Black. On air. Than Eddie bursts thru stage and told him to finally stop the Black obsession lol
-
Cant find a Letterman
-
"Playing guitar is kinda like fishing, fishing for songs." Eddie Vedder.✌ 2017
-
Great band. Pearl Jam is one of the best bands to ever grace the earth.
-
I’ve probably watched this fifty times and I will watch it fifty more. My comedic and musical heroes being friends is something you can’t get everyday.
-
I'm Staten Island... to me dave is a NY God.... we ran home in time just to catch his groundbreaking shows... 1980s were the best.... big up Paul Shaffer another NYC legend
-
THANK YOU DAVE! Warren Zevon absolutely deserves an induction. Easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time and he goes ignored. Fantastic of Dave for the shoutout to Warren. And big congrats to Pearl Jam as well, very deserved.
-
Dave Letterman is a national fucking treasure.
-
That might be the most respectable and deserving standing ovation I've ever seen. You'd almost think Dave was inducted himself. He's a great lover of music and seeing him sit beside my other idol Jimmy Page during Led Zeppelin's tribute, was a shocking treat.
-
David Letterman pretty much sounds like everyone in 2021. Can't express how grateful he is to be out of the house, and what a gift being able to experience live music again truly is (and not take it for granted)
