Cant find a Letterman
Bravo! Your comment is very underrated.
His statement about not taking live music for granted really rings true right now.
Especially when you're stuck having to make your own at home. Pots, pans, and rubber bands, just don't do the trick.
Amen brother...
Speak it, Sean. No truer words.
yup, virtual concerts don't hit the same
Wrote my comment before I read yours.
Pearl.jam.is.a legend...... My favorite band of all time! We perform one of thier song when i was 17......... Now im 45 but still i heard thier song my blood flows alive!!! Bravo eddie. And band mates deserve to be a hall of fame
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
Link?
Yes, it was AWESOME!

Did he???? I hvnt seen it. That comment just made me smile .
That was one of the funniest moments on Letterman. Love the guy and he's hilarious, but the sheer "what" that I uttered at my TV was followed by one of the single biggest laughs I had. I'd be lying if I said tears weren't streaking down my face and that rarely happens. Cheers to Dave, Eddie, and the band. So wonderful.
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.
Also a nod to Andrew Wood. Pearl Jam formed after his death. Mother Love Bone would've been the greatest of the big four.
Soundgarden and Alice In Chains were the best of the big 4.
Not a Letterman fan, but, onthis occasion, he nailed it.
No, he's a fucking tool
@@thomasdaniels6824 How so?
@Johnny Bravo
Pearl Jam is pure Rock & Roll!
Stone Gossard & Eddie Vedder
said in a early interview they
listen to Led Zeppelin. Grunge
& Alternative Rock they're not.
Being formed in Seattle with
musicians from local bands
was it. Also they are still
touring after 20 yrs.
Dave Letterman is a national fucking treasure.
National fucking wet fart
"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!!
@@gregnormal5 yes I'm a big fan of pearl jam. Thank for asking. Happy Easter Greg!
@Greg Normal well I woke up with Evenflow in my head...different songs for different days. Gonna be a nice one today!
@@gregnormal5 I'm from PA and you?
@@gregnormal5 From Pa and you?
@@gregnormal5 I can't get away from the phsyco
I love how Eddie's wife was crying when she heard Dave read the letter
I love how Eddie's wife was. Period.
_PS: Just kidding but couldn't stop that coming..._
I suspect she gets very emotional every time she re-realizes that she married a legend and an awesome human being.
@@shinigami146 Eddie is an icon
dave reads the letter, man
did you love it?
Dave's got excellent taste in bands and boosted many careers. He's insightful, intelligent and KIND.
what the shit ? you must be really young....try to watch some of letterman's old shows back in the 80s, he was a prick
It's crazy how many careers in entertainment in general he's helped. Comics, bands, actors....I know Norm Macdonald LOVED Dave and felt he owed him everything. Came on to do the last comedy set for Daves last episode even (and you know it meant a lot to Norm as his voice broke twice when he almost started crying and had to stop to compose himself and was in tears by the time Dave came over to hug him, which is probably the only time I've ever seen Norm break "character"). It's worth watching and very sweet, also sad being that Norms gone now.
Dave was driving and heard hootie and the blowfish on a local radio station and and told his show to find them and get them on the show
I agree when it comes to music. I have friends that were signed and played on the Letterman show. He may be insightful and "intelligent." But he's known to be kind of a dick and his intelligence is selective.
Him and Paul.
That was awesome!... Alice in Chains NEEDS to be in the the hall of fame! No one can make Layne Staley's voice and Jerry cantrell's guitar!!!!!
I agree with ya, but they never won any MTV or any awards at shows and I kind of like that. Only 1 was WOULD and that was for best video... these award shows are BS anyways
AIC (with Layne) was 17x the band PJ was. Life is criminal.
@@splinteredspace3469 The awards shows are, but this is a bit different. And if the awards shows are BS (which I agree with), why the fuck are you bringing up the fact they never won anything as if that should keep them out of the Hall of Fame? It's a little different than awards shows and would be a nice thing to do. But ultimately it's pretty meaningless too. Nobody has ever said "That band was awesome"..."Well yeah, but they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" as if it's somehow a judge of talent or how much fans love them. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that whoever profits the most from the rock and roll hall of fame is NOT a musician. Probably someone or someones that none of us have ever heard of who doesn't give a fuck who does or doesn't get inducted, just as long as they can keep collecting $$$
@@dollydagger7502 no it wasn't
They will as long as they were mainstream famous
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 Abbruzzese was the main reason I enjoyed @Pearl Jam #DaveAbbruzzese #PearlJam
I'm so glad he was the one who got to do this. He absolutely loved Eddie
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
"Playing guitar is kinda like fishing, fishing for songs."
Eddie Vedder.✌ 2017
Nirvana : 2014
Pearl Jam : 2017
Now all we need is Soundgarden and
Alice In Chains induced into rock and roll hall of fame and the rock hall will be set with all grunge greats!
You've listed my personal faves. Agree. It's time for Alice in Chains.
Mudhoney and Melvins are millions time better than PJ, SG and AiC
1985cactus Nope. On par. Love all you listed, but in my eyes. not better.
1985cactus Mudhoney most certainly is not. They’re ok, but give me a break
What a dumb comparison.
Real shame that Dave Abbruzzese was left out of this. He was a key part of arguably the band's most exciting, creative chapter.
Obviously, Dave had great rock bands playing on his NBC show. But, when his CBS show started in 93, there was a musical revolution going on. Dave did so much to promote all those new bands!
Moses inducting pearl jam into the rock and roll hall of Fame what an honor.
A band that dont even need an introduction. Well deserved. PJ have been a huge part of my life, and always will be.
Great band. Pearl Jam is one of the best bands to ever grace the earth.
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.
As a fan of Pearl Jam since 1991 I cried
"Live music is a gift." And theres truly not many bands better at giving that gift than Pearl Jam.
stp was better
letterman's induction is classic
When we go to a concert nowadays we're the old farts. But you know what kids? We've seen 'em all live. Alive, drugged, at their peak.
Don't piss on people's night
And Layne Staley of Alice N Chains, Chris Cornell, and Robert Plant also
Letterman. He is utterly unique. And the letter Eddie wrote to his son, I have an entire new respect for him.
Johan LA it's in the video y'dummy
ZZ Top needs to induct Dave into the Hall of Fame
wasteland70 made me cry.
Johan LA is that a joke?
you searched the internet to find information about the letter but you can't be bothered to watch a 15 min vid? The proportion of how much you care about the letter vs the effort required to find out would make for an interesting graph
It’s clear Dave and Eddie are buddies that’s what makes this so genuine
God how I miss Dave😥
She dreams in color she dreams in red, can't find a letter man.
Unoriginal Name oooohhh CAN'T FIND A LETTER MAN!
Don't blame it on yourself... just blame it on the Letterman
(yes yes it's not Pearl Jam but I couldn't resist)
Yesss
is Ament an Amish ?
wtf?
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
13:15 - Every...I MEAN EVERY...Dad in the room BAWLED
I'm not a Dad and I bawled my eyes out.
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.
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.
best induction EVER! I wish Chris was here ,sound garden would have been next.
0vr fl0ater They should have been inducted years ago. Around before Pearl Jam.
That he mentioned Warren Zevon… good stuff!!!
By far the best induction of the best band ever.
Except he barely mentioned everyone besides Eddie
@@thekayes3364 Well yeah, who else would he mention? .....I'm just kidding.It's not easy to write a speech like this and of course he's gonna talk more about the guy that's the most well known by a long shot, the guy he's known for decades and is the one that is always interviewed, etc.I'm sure you know all that though, right? Of course you do, you just wanted to find anything to try and bring someone else down just because you're a miserable loser. Thats why you found someone who clearly loved it and chose them to reply to. You should write Dave Letterman and tell HIM your pros/cons and how he can improve, I'm SURE he'll get right on it. Or just stop being a bitch and go talk to people like this in the real world, I bet that'll work for sure!
The man has class. Best Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ever.
dave has always been known for his sarcastic attitude. you can really see how much he care about these guys. especially Eddie. that letter at the end was great.
Idea by the show author and composer. A pure ironic critic to their ignorance of their success creator, who wished once to receive a letter with a guitar, but never did. playing violin projected on Letterman's son (similar age of the composer years ago) was a metaphor for playing First Violin as author anyway.
Probably the the lovliest, funniest induction so far
The fact that you have David Letterman, a talkshow host (which I do not say in a demeaning way), inducting you, not just one of your fellow artists, and you managed to have impressed him enough to do so pretty much tells you all you need to know about them.
Also pretty sure everyone has that "du du du du" moment once in a while, I sure do have it every single time I see them play live still! One of the best bands ever, nothing but respect for them musically and from a humanitarian point of view we could go on for ages and ages really. They are an example to all of us.
We need STP and Chains in the Hall...So good...So under appreciated
So when is Soundgarden gonna be in there? All the founding grunge bands deserve to be in there. It's a shame Chris Cornell won't get to see it
Vote for Soundgarden class of 2020. Check google on how to join the fan vote
Who's fault is that?
Chris obviously didnt give a fuck about the hall of fame, he also wont see his kids grow up. He fucking killed himself.
Big Mike well, that was negative.
@@nicestrat technically, Hall of Fame voters
I never realized how many times Dave had PJ on his show. Many many times. Best person to do this induction for sure.
Its so cute to see eddie and his daughter ♥
By far the best induction ever. So heartfelt. And the letter written from Ed to Harry is why they are one of the best bands to Grace us. Great musicians and ever better human beings!! Long live PJ!!!
Five years later, and they still haven't listened. Warren still hasn't been recognized. I'll be excited again when he and Dick Dale are put in. Cheers to Dave, and hope the wish comes true soon.
I hope no one ever forgets Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone. Because without him and the band before. There would be no Pearl Jam.
I do remember him and he was a lot better song writer than pearl jam anyways
Yeah as I was watching all I thought about was Andy and how he would loved be there and deserved
Landrew
Ever listen to malfunkshun?
YES, I love David! I love Pearl Jam but jeez when he mentioned Warren Zevon. David Letterman is my hero!
I didn't realize Zevon wasn't in the hall of fame. Travesty.
That was the most passion I've seen out of Letterman in many, many years.
.
98 year old ladies
Watching My Next Guest Needs No Introduction and this, it's pretty clear that he's learned a lot, has a lot of regrets, and has become a much more humble man in retirement and parenthood.
2:50 - Watching this in 2021. Truer words have never been spoken.
Letterman is one of the best comedic minds of all time...
I was 8 when ten came out. My older brother had it, I'd sit outside his room listening to it while he was listening to it, I wasn't allowed to listen to it but I didn't care it was amazing. Jeremy was the first rock song I wanted to hear over and over and over again, that, heart shaped box by nirvana, no rain by blind melon, last dance with Mary Jane by Tom petty and the heartbreakers, I was barely ten, but those were the songs that got me through a lot of bullying and made me want to sing and play piano. Music is magical.
Sounds like we had the same upbringing
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)
Letterman better induct Foo Fighters. Thats his favourite band. Him and that band have a love affair
"He" and that band...
@@tripjet999 He and his elite handlers.
Where is any music?
just everlong
Foo Fighter SUCK! Seriously, they are America's Nickleback with a nicer frontman.
I sawwhen Letterman first had them and was astounded they did his show, since it was after the Tonight Show
My first concert was Pearl Jam ‘96 in South Dakota. Someone dropped a dude with a beer bottle across the head and Eddie stopped the show to call them out.
It might have been me given I heard someone encouraging another to hit me as I passed by shortly before.
The U.S. needs help. Thank you Eddie for standing up for so many people.
✨✊✨
Dave will be there to induct The Foo Fighters too... he loves those guys.
Foo Fighters suck.
Balboa Baggins no u
@@BalboaBaggins that's your opinion
@@BalboaBaggins cool
@@noahhugo5075 Him and me, and i am here to pollute this suckfest from david suckerman.
Pearl jam are a great band. I'm glad they got in, but Dave Abbruzzese should have gotten in with them. He played on two of their biggest records.
Absolutely!!!!!!
@@srpdesigns Abbrulutely!!
He was there when they got famous and helped propell them to fame yes...
More like one album and a few songs on another album.
He wasn’t on TEN
No one can belt out vowels better than Eddie Vedder. Pure genius.
I feel a sense of gratitude that my wife introduced me to a CD in 1981 called Ten. I was so blown away by the songs, lyrics the entire experience of blasting this music in my ears changed me profoundly and all these years later still blown away by this group. I have listened to there music every single day since 91 during my commute to work Ventura to Santa Barbara on my prize possession my 59 knucklehead for 32 years! Yesterday was my last day to jump on my bike and commute 29 miles to work as I am now officially retired at the young age 61. Filled with emotions wondering what this next chapter will bring but one thing that won't change is my love for this band. I'll still jump on my bike their music blasting my ears my bike vibrating under me , not a half bad life. Thank you Pearl Jam for 32 years of keeping my company during my commute. I'm a lucky man because my wife and 5 daughter's will surround me thru my retirement and for certain pearl jam will be playing in the background😁👍. Here's to the next chapter in life and my upcoming golden years, yep I'm a lucky man👍. One love ♥️
I meant 1991 obviously lol.
Some of my fav frontman Chris, Layne, Scott, and Kurt have all left. Only Eddie's left now 😔
LADIES and GENTLEMEN, you just watched the greatest (unscripted - no looking into the camera) RRHOF induction ever recorded! Way to go, Dave, and congrats for having gotten "out of the house"!. Keep it up! LL
The Ten album changed my life.
Ode to live music, Letterman absolutely crushed it. Greatest American band. Pure joy.
When he spoke about Black I knew this was coming.... I did that endlessly. What a tribute! Thanks Pearl Jam and Eddie you really led the band to a path of eternal beauty. Damn I am still humming Black as I am writing this.
made me cry. and I'm a jaded old fucking teacher.
Love and miss Dave Letterman! Come back !
If human's are still around and listening to music two hundred years from now, there music will still be played.
Haven't been into Letterman too much recently but that was one of the best speeches I've ever seen.
how much class can one ask for in one clip.. I miss David Letterman and I miss good music like Pearl Jam
I spy Geddy Lee. Hey, this was a beautiful and heartfelt speech. Letterman loves music and i loved how he came down on stage with each and every band and shook their hands and meant it. Pearl Jam deserved this induction and so did Dave.
Flip the hat A
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I Love you guys and Eddie souch!!!!
Much so much ! Sorry Rock n Roll Grunge Legends , Musical Legends 🛐🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦🖤🖤🖤🐈⬛🐈⬛🐴🐴🐆🐆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You never know greatness until it's being missed, great to see you David & Pearl Jam.
Maybe one day Alice In Chains will be recognized
They damn sure should be
AMEN! !!!
They should be man, IMO that was the band from the 90s
They really should. I think they were the greatest grunge band.
If we look at those three bands and what Grunge has been and still is today here is what we can tell about it:
Soundgarden and Chris Cornell were and remain its vivid brain
Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder were and are its pulsating heart
Alice In Chains and Layne Staley were and are its tortured soul
We can have our brain blown away, our heart broken to pieces... and yet we still survive. Just take our soul away from us and we are damn dead, dammit!
Hail to Grunge's Finest and Greatest...
I miss watching Dave every night so much & remember how much he LOVED PJ & having them on! You could always tell who his favs were!!
"Dont get live music for granted." Yep, 2020 is here.
2021
Leave it to Dave to offer such an insightful and genuinely heartfelt induction speech. He is a true fan.
SOUNDGARDEN AND ALICE IN CHAINS BELONG IN THE HALL OF FAMW IDGAF WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.
OGGOAT_ _ Fuck yeah
Your right, and I'm fucking pissed because not one time did Ed thank Chris yet Matt was SG's drummer, it shows who truly loved and appreciated Chris in my opinion.
They were better then pearl jam and nirvana
Soundgarden and alice in chains that is
Of course
Dave loves PJ
The nicest band around, about time
When it comes to playing live, Pearl Jam is one of the few that never disappoints. I had them on my bucket list of bands I had to see at least once. It was 4th of July and they were in NJ. Across the river in Philly, they started shooting off a ton of fireworks. Pearl Jam accompanied that with "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" THAT was intense. Seen them a couple more times after that. Still incredible.....
Their early/First Bonnaroo performance was such an amazing show - I mean I knew it would blow my mind but I was transformed during that show. I have been so devoted to Pearl Jam as one of the most talented musicians now, ever...
This band means the world to me. Helped me get through so much. Truly deserve it. LEGENDS!
Eddie does right after this RIP and one of the best
My band, beforre everrything , fame, all, were my band, still today, thanks Pearl jam
....and congrats to PearlJam. They made a great impact on my generation, and I Hope their hard working and honest aporoach to music transcends, and passes on to the generations to come.
I've seen this video a couple of times just out of motivation, and I still can't figure our why someone would dislike it, Eddie Vedder and David Letterman, such iconic personas
Can’t find a Letterman
Letterman is a true broadcasting genius. What a pause he has here. Beautiful stuff.
2017: "Oh my God what a gift live music is." - 2020: "What is live music?"
My lord, I miss Dave!
David was classy giving a shout out to Paul Schaffer
yes he did.. he is a good soul
Warms my heart they’re given their flowers 🫶🏼
Congratulations PEARL JAM ~ THEE GREATEST BAND EVER ~ ALL THEIR MUSIC IS PHENOMENAL AND HAS TRUE MEANING & QUALITY MUSIC THROUGHOUT ~ I AM THEIR BIGGEST FAN....LIVE ON FOREVER PEARL JAM & LEGENDARY EDDIE VEDDER,MIKE MCCREADY,JEFF AMENT,STONE GOSSARD & THEIR GREAT DRUMMERS OVER THE YEARS WITH DAVE ABBREZZEE (SPELLING???)

Dave deserves more from us. If you see him on the street say Thanks Dave
🎂Dave Abbruzzese 05-17-2022
Eddie still looks like he did when I was 14 I’m 35 now. I remember listening to them at blockbuster music on the headphones. That was in San Jose, CA.
Eddie's family is sooo beautiful
Short, rich, rockstar marries a pretty woman and has photogenic children. It's a classic tale at this stage.
shit this theater thats no MUSIC THATS SHIT
TrainInVain Eddie Vedder is and has always been gorgeous. What is your point?
ohwellwhateverr Calm down fangirl
Tony- Atkinson No problem Tone
They were my top 5 best phenomenal and legendary grunge rock band of all times and the remaining should be deserved inducted into the rock hall of fame. 1.NIRVANA 2.ALICE IN CHAINS 3.PEARL JAM 4.SOUNDGARDEN 5.STONE TEMPLE PILOTS THESE TOP 5 were the GOD'S GRUNGE ROCK
