We all love David Letterman here at the Rec. You never really know what to expect from his show, including the live performances. He has always allowed artist more freedom than most late night T.V. shows.
This performance is no different Letterman allows a great rap trio, the opportunity to do something a little different.
Here is a performance by the Beastie Boys, from 2004. The song was their current single at the time, Ch-Check It Out.

Man, this performance is mind-blowing from just a technical angle, let alone as a good rendition of the song.
I just wish this album had been as strong as the idea behind it.
The Beastie Boys know how to bring energy to a stage, street, broom closet, etc…
Maybe David Lee Roth should lose his wheelchair and have a consultation with Mike D about what makes a good performance.
Great pick Eric.
