Following their first performance of “Everlong” on The Late Show with David Letterman 15 years ago while the host was recovering from open-heart surgery, the Foo Fighters (Letterman’s self-proclaimed “favorite band”) returned to close out the program with the same song. Watch their bittersweet, tuxedo-clad set below, interspersed with historical footage from Letterman’s 33 years on the air and topped off with a healthy dose of pyrotechnics.
It’s not easy to upstage the Foo Fighters but an all-star list including Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, and Barbara Walters came close as they counted down David Letterman’s top ten last words. Scroll down for that clip.
