Please list your favorite musical performance(s) on the David Letterman show

This was from a special music-only episode of Late Night which aired on a Friday instead of Friday Night Videos. Other guests were David Byrne (plugging Stop Making Sense, which opened that weekend) and Boy George's mom. In his monologue Dave said, "Let's get a few things straight. I am not Rick Dees. I am not counting down anything."

Only occasionally see stuff on Letterman but thought this was awesome:

i'm convinced during her solo you can hear someone whisper "wow"

Thanks everyone, can't wait to watch these tonight...

bat for lashes and belly vids are terrific

Oooh I can't wait to watch these all later.

Pixies jamming out with Schaeffer p classic tho I can't remember right now what song it was.

Oingo Boingo - "Nothing Bad Ever Happens"
Talking Heads - "I Zimbra"

thought this was an impressive edit

oh god YES I remember that, it basically reignited my interest in Sonic Youth

i don't really care that much about REM but Pitchfork's recent REM retrospective had a great clip of their first TV appearance playing "Radio Free Europe" on Letterman.

I remember that, it mighta been the week I saw them on the Murmur tour.

1987:

Apparently Cher, experiencing a comeback, was quite annoyed at being shanghaied into this performance.
