[saml]

any clue if they are only performing or will be featured as a guest also?

[Tzar]

from what i have seen, most music stars on there perform..
but.... why letterman? its almost as bad as Leno and his huge chin

[Justin]

they'll talk politics

[Brougham234]

"why letterman? its almost as bad as Leno and his huge chin"

You are joking right? Dave Letterman is a genius, he changed everything about Late night television. Leno is joke, he should not be allowed on TV, granted he appears to be a nice guy, where as Dave can be an asshole sometimes, Leno is just plain unfunny.

[tpk]

they'll discuss politics? isn't dave republican?

anyway yeah he is smart though. cool to see them there cause they haven't been there in 10 years.

[OmahaBeastieFan]

I will have to watch it!

[dee_bee_76]

This is cool news...the B-Boys on Letterman in NYC on album release day. Last time they played Letterman was the Summer of 1994. Most likely it'll just be a performance of "Ch-Check It Out" and that'll be all...but it'll still be nice to see.

[paulb]

tight! ill be taping that!!

[b-grrrlie]

Thanks Trond E!

Usually Letterman is being shown one week later here so have to wait until the 23rd. I don't think they'll be talking with David at all, just doing the stuff they do the best!

btw Beasties were on Letterman with Elvis Costello once (played Elvis' Radio Radio), but don't know the date. Anyone know?

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

they should've done conan.

[OmahaBeastieFan]

as long as they are on tv

[dee_bee_76]

They did play with Costello, but it was on a SNL 25th anniversary special in September 1999.

Dave Letterman is a rabid anti-republican.

He makes it a point to show a clip of George W. doing something embarassingly stupid on almost every show.

Dave Letterman is a rabid anti-republican.

He makes it a point to show a clip of George W. doing something embarassingly stupid on almost every show.well yeah but he and most other talkshow hosts make fun of all presidents and president candidates. and also there still are quite a few republicans that don't even like bush.

anyway i have just always seen him as a republican. so i am wrong?

[alexandra]

they should've done conan.
now that you mention conan...i rather see them at letterman's :P

[BCNHF]

Conan is the best...Especially how he reacts to the crowd...

[PhatPat]

Actually, the episodes for letterman air the same day they are taped. I may make an attempt to get tickets to see it in person.

[countrymikedj]

conan is the man with his string dance

[b-grrrlie]

Actually here in Sweden the episodes are shown exactly one week later. :rolleyes:

[DforDustin]

I hope they play something else besides Ch-check It Out. I'm gonna be pissed if they play the "hit single". They usually just play whatever they want on TV. It was nice to see them do "Live at PJs" on Letterman back in the day.

[kyle]

Someone gonna record it and chuck it on the web for us Australians who are to poor to have pay TV?

[OmahaBeastieFan]

Yah It would be nice for them to do a different song but hey I still think at least they are one tv

[Rodie]

Conan fucking rocks. Although anyone else notice his musical guests are almost always shitty?

[nickhead]

Someone gonna record it and chuck it on the web for us Australians who are to poor to have pay TV?

channel 9 screen letterman late at night and for the most part they're current episodes. it's likely to be on wednesday night here due to the time difference. in sydney this week, according to my tv guide, letterman is on channel 9 at midnight on tuesday and 12:10 wednesday

[saml]

Conan > Letterman > Leno

It's possible that they'll get some interview time after their performance, that happends sometimes.

[flea nut lance]

conan doesnt always have shitty music guest he usually just has lesser known ones likei know he was the first to have 311 deftones jimmie's chicken shack eagles of death metal he has had queens of the stone age


if you only like hip hop almost no late night people have that

conan is the funniest

letterman was good back in his day now hes a cranky old heart attack man senior citizen daddy

[OmahaBeastieFan]

311 representing Omaha, I am a big 311 fan too

[ASHLEY]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
CANT WAIT...........Wish I was in NYC right now...

[BeastieBau]

that was fucking awesome. I loved the coming out of the subway and walking down the street and rapping video style. Brilliant- just plain old fucking brilliant (y)

[blackalicious]

what song did they do?

[BeastieBau]

ch-check it out

[silver]

I'm still in shock. One of the greatest live music performances I have ever seen on tv. And Dave loved it!

[GZNUTZ]

That was a great performance. I bet those people on the street are still cleaning out their draws. Am I mistaken or was that D.J. Hurricane acting as their body gaurd? (Just kidding) By the way what is D.J. Hurricane up to these days? Anybody?

[splatter-house]

Incredible performance, the best yet.

Just ripped the video and uploaded it to the hub. You can get it off the user 'maestro' when i'm not online. Enjoy!

[cj hood]

awesome performances both on mtv and letterman.......old school mca.......movin about on stage and having fun........cool shit.......now i gotta scour through the boards lookin for some mtv behind the scenes stories.......

[Monsieur Decuts]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

MCA was rocking his old school "i'm going to fall over but....ooooo...i just caught myself at the last minute" stage style. I love that shit

[Castaneda]

that performane last night was kick a$$! i loved it! :D:D:D

[El Rico]

WOWOWOWOOWOW!!!

Only the Beastie Boys can do shit like that, coming out of the subway rapping live on NYC. ONLY THE BEASTIE BOYS!!!!!

AMAZING !!!!

[Bernard Goetz]

I loved Letterman's spiel on the Beasties' career. Something like "The thing about the Beastie Boys is they're dangerous. And they're here, and then they're gone. And it's like Phew! (wipes brow) and then they're BACK! The Beastie Boys! And then Phew, they're gone again, and then BACK!"
Perfect.

[alexandra]

WOAH! :D (y)

[DCBBFan]

I think I recall Letterman in the 80s when he kept delcaring that "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm fighting for your right to party"...or something like that? Fun performance. I need a fisheye lens.
