    His statement about not taking live music for granted really rings true right now.

    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

    "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!!
  • @stusux
    "Live music is a gift." And theres truly not many bands better at giving that gift than Pearl Jam.
  • @Jackferrett6781
    I love how Eddie's wife was crying when she heard Dave read the letter
  • @patois12
    I never realized how many times Dave had PJ on his show. Many many times. Best person to do this induction for sure.

    Letterman.  He is utterly unique.  And the letter Eddie wrote to his son, I have an entire new respect for him.

    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's got excellent taste in bands and boosted many careers. He's insightful, intelligent and KIND.
  • @franzbeck3177
    A band that dont even need an introduction. Well deserved. PJ have been a huge part of my life, and always will be.
  • 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!

  • @gumpcard
    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.

    Great band. Pearl Jam is one of the best bands to ever grace the earth.
  • 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
  • @JohnNoirSmith
    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)

    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.
