Less Talk, More Music: Beastie Boys on “The Late Show with David Letterman”
All I’m saying is this: if you think you know of another talk-show performance that starts out in a more awesome manner than the Beastie Boys rapping their way up from the subway, down the streets of NYC, and into the Ed Sullivan Theater, I’d damned well like to see it. Until then, I’m gonna presume that there is no such animal and just tell you to sit your ass down and ch-check this shit out…
Did they record the street-level part beforehand (i.e. not live) do you think?
Either way that’s classsssssic
In my heart of hearts, I want to believe that it was 100% live. But the truth of the matter is that I do not know for certain.
Aw, HELL YEAH. That is the best Letterman performance ever. Aside from Drew Barrymore showing David her tits.
