Wow, four rhythm guitars compared to two sure makes a difference. Love this version. You can tell the Foo Fighters really enjoy playing this song especially with Joan. Most rock bands respect this song as a classic.
+scott sailer so damn TRUE ,i mean look at the difference between this and with the blackhearts ,i think the first original blackhearts are much better then the new ones ! with the foo fighters it is electric !
The 4 guitarist in this video have been in the following bands: Scream Nirvana QOTSA Them Crooked Vultures The Germs The Adolescents Nirvana The Runaways The Blackhearts No Use For a Name Me First & The Gimme Gimmes That's an impressive CV.
My favorite thing about the Foo Fighters is that they are clearly fans of the same music I love. If I had their talent I'd play with all my heroes too.
Thanks for posting this. Maybe the single most blistering rock and roll video ever put on RUclips. When you look at either male OR female front "men"... in the entire history of rock and roll... Joan is in a class by herself. Nobody like her before and nobody like her since.
I was never into the Foo Fighters too much when they were popular, but since then, that damned Dave Grohl has impressed me. Everything I see him do is impressive, including his brilliant Ice Bucket Challenge video. And of course he's a Rush fan. To see him on the same stage as Joan Jett is like seeing Einstein come together with Ptolemy. OK, that's a totally shitty analogy. It's an amazing confluence of talent, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
What do you know Ronda Rousey's entrance in both the UFC & now the WWE? I don't care if you're a big UFC fan but can't stand the WWE or are a big WWE fan and can't stand the UFC - Either place which you prefer this is "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's entrance at whichever you prefer heck if you don't like the UFC or the WWE this is just 1 flat out awesome song!
Do you have any video of the rest of this Late Show? Earlier in the show was the funniest Top Ten list I've ever seen, and I'd love to get to watch it again. Thanks!
Joan is a rock legend for sure. She always sounds great. But having the foo fighters as her band was killer.
Wow, four rhythm guitars compared to two sure makes a difference. Love this version. You can tell the Foo Fighters really enjoy playing this song especially with Joan. Most rock bands respect this song as a classic.
My neighbors loved it so much they threw a small couch through my window so they could hear it better!
Underrated comment 😂
😂
Her and Dave rocking out on guitar together is kick ass
I don't know why people are saying anything negative about this, this was pretty close to perfect and this was live in a small studio!
damn right..
Never knew they did this. Absolutely electric. RIP Taylor
The Foo Fighters backing up the legend Joan Jett.....Everybody on stage with big smiles.....Hardcore Rock n Roll.....
Look at how much Taylor is smiling. RIP Legend
Pat Smear looks like the happiest man on earth whilst playing this song.
I love how Pat just loves being on stage. You can see its his happy place.
Joan has always needed a great backing band! the Blackhearts are good but man listen to the energy with a band like the Foos!
scott sailer Sorry, but WTF are u talking about? Please explain.
It needs no explaination. The black hearts are good, but with the Foo's behind her, it goes to a next level. You may not agree but hey its ok.
It's cool
I thought the same...to me the original Blackhearts were the best...in the last few years...meh...but yeah the opening I was like whoa...
+scott sailer so damn TRUE ,i mean look at the difference between this and with the blackhearts ,i think the first original blackhearts are much better then the new ones ! with the foo fighters it is electric !
I feel like Taylor Hawkins has more fun performing than any other drummer ever.
and he's really fuckin' good too..one of the best..
The guy from Def Leppard only has half as much
Josh Freese has more fun
Reni is the best drummer ever and you only have to watch him to realise he has more fun than any other drummer 🍋
Joan is still the best damn female rocker out there. Legendary Rock Goddess.
Didn’t knew how much it will hurt me to see Taylor in an old video …
joan jett playing with pat smear about 30 years later after producing The Germs' album, she's awesome
Joan still sounds great live, at 53 years old. Dave sounds good live, but it's easy to hear who the the better singer is.
Joan’s a better singer, Dave has better stage presence imo. But both terrific acts.
dave vocal line in this video were so much more difficults to do than joans
@@JohnnyMaiaaa Fair point dude....
@@JohnnyMaiaaa Please, his vocals suck, as usual!
if you don't like this, we can't be friends
Don't act like that.. lol
@@iwasdxbeforedxwascool9020 hell yes act like that! This way amazing!
This gives me chills everytime i watch it
One of the best performances I’ve ever seen on the Letterman show!
Joan Jett is everything I want to be.
me too and im a man
Me too if i was a woman haha
Keep the number of moving parts to a minimum, crank it to 11, and drive that truck straight at the audience.
James Daniels That, my friend, is an AWESOME analogy!
punk rock
Saw her with the Runaway's when they opened for The Ramones in Orlando. 1978, I believe. My ears are still ringing.
Joan is still fucking awesome wow great performance
best version!
The 4 guitarist in this video have been in the following bands:
Scream
Nirvana
QOTSA
Them Crooked Vultures
The Germs
The Adolescents
Nirvana
The Runaways
The Blackhearts
No Use For a Name
Me First & The Gimme Gimmes
That's an impressive CV.
Nothing like four guitar players in a band.
David Letterman was the last of the great late night talk show hosts
My favorite thing about the Foo Fighters is that they are clearly fans of the same music I love. If I had their talent I'd play with all my heroes too.
Rock & Roll at it's finest
Excellent! I would have loved to have heard her play this with The Ramones as well. I've always thought she'd be a great Joanie Ramone.
there's so much energy in this. i love it.
I don't think there's a person in the world that loves their job more than Dave. (Possible exception, Pat Smear)
Love how Dave is head banging as he’s playing 🤘🎸
Who wouldn't kill to be part of that lineup, playing that song on Letterman.
Awesome! Looks like they're all having a blast!
This is impressive. The understatement of all time..
i love them so much
So glad I found this....I was in the crowd for this Late Show performance and I've been a Foo Fighters fan ever since.
Wow great performance
J.J. defines R & R!
Dave is a old head banger! Respect. Love the Foos n Joan too!!
Not a headbanger.
Thanks for posting this. Maybe the single most blistering rock and roll video ever put on RUclips.
When you look at either male OR female front "men"... in the entire history of rock and roll... Joan is in a class by herself. Nobody like her before and nobody like her since.
This is amazing! Love Joan and the Foos! and together wow!
Joan is ALWAYS fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!
You can NEVER have enough guitars!
This is actually a studio quality pwrformance. This rocks!
Nothing better.
Awesome, wish Foos would do more punk! I know it’s where they came from and I think I saw Pat smiling on this one! 🤟🏻
Omg I really love this song.
I saw this live on tv. It was something.
OK now I'm a Foo Fighters fan.. This is bad ass..
Totally Awesome and look how happy Pat looks :)
Trish McGlynn Nate Mandel looks great with long hair
Love the way Joan Jett looks at Dave @3:11.
OMG THIS HEAVEN........
This song needed more guitars. Awesome cover.
I was never into the Foo Fighters too much when they were popular, but since then, that damned Dave Grohl has impressed me.

The combo we never knew we needed 🫡
Gave me chills!
53? The Rock is strong with this one
This is in such a different context after reading Daves book. What an awesome guy!
Damn this is epic live performance ever!
RIP Taylor
AMAZING 5 GUITARS
Bad Reputation on Steroids, love it....

Wow! I'm officially going to be the guy who says that new bands can't play like this. Stop, you know that it's true.

What do you know Ronda Rousey's entrance in both the UFC & now the WWE? I don't care if you're a big UFC fan but can't stand the WWE or are a big WWE fan and can't stand the UFC - Either place which you prefer this is "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's entrance at whichever you prefer heck if you don't like the UFC or the WWE this is just 1 flat out awesome song!
Awesome! BTW I wonder if Dave Letterman still got a crush on Joan.
Fuck yeah!!!!!
Look,it's Crystal Meth Santa without the beard
HOLY FUCK
Bad ass.
Hey, Dave didn't ask the drummer if those are his drums.
FUCK!!! That was excellent!,!
SO FUCKING SICK!

FLYING!
Do you have any video of the rest of this Late Show? Earlier in the show was the funniest Top Ten list I've ever seen, and I'd love to get to watch it again. Thanks!
