[@Frank_Cohen]

Difference between Letterman and Leno is that Leno would never have some like Mould on the show. Letterman's always loved music, always willing to showcase artists he simply thought were bold and brilliant.

[@timnanos516]

+Frank Cohen That, and I also think it helped that Paul Shaffer was there to make great suggestions.

[@Frank_Cohen]

+Tim Nanos So true. I missed that. Thanks

[@timscott8703]

I agree 1000% !

[@Theruffin]

I know it's been 3 years since your post, but I completely agree. The quintessential example of this is Warren Zevon. What dave did for him and he did for Dave is just amazing.

[@davidmatheny1993]

Letterman probably helped introduce a lot of folks to the underground/indie rock scene or stuff that would eventually become mainstream success over the years. He was the one network show to have R.E.M. on for their first album, and I believe the only late night to have them on before Out of Time became a worldwide hit.

[@pdbordelon]

Such an under-rated song writer and guitarist - sheesh he is a sonic BEAST!

[@davidschmidt6013]

I'm glad I lived long enough to see short-haired, short-bearded, bespectacled rockers providing the main power of the song....

[@edwardgiovannelli5191]

Mould was always a short haired power-providing rocker, though not always bespectacled perhaps.

[@darrenp1549]

Workbook and Black Sheets both changed my life...

[@shethingsd]

Workbook changed mine. For good, bad, and ugly. I love Bob for it.

[@BurningtunaDC]

I need more cello in my monitor. Love Jason and John as the rhythm section.

[@emmanueljauneau9548]

greatest songwriter of the decade

[@tankdrives2]

Well said,completely agree.

[@duncefunce1513]

Which decade?

[@nielsbie8922]

All decades form 80

[@kennywowie]

hardly...not when Richard Shindell is out there, or Kishi Bashi.

[@duncefunce1513]

@@kennywowie yeah, you can't beat Kishell Richibash

[@jimm9051]

Bob Mould is simply amazing

[@CardiffBoy1927]

Workbook: one of my favourite albums :-)

[@MK-jh6cq]

CardiffBoy1927,my favourite,from Bob is Black Sheets Of Rain...

[@jstohler]

Workbook never gets old.

[@shethingsd]

It was my first introduction. Still holds my heart. My ex-husband brought this to our first date. Other albums and shows, but this still makes me have feelings.

[@DaveHayesMusic]

This performance fills me with life and the desire to live...and to rock :-)

[@toddteragawa3191]

I miss OUR hometown Bob! growing up in Minneapolis in the 80's was incredible! seeing shows at First Ave like Husker Du, the Replacements, the Pixies, so much incredible music happening then paving the way for music today

[@bangkokfed]

Bob is from New York not Minnesota.

[@stevemandl5140]

husker du was the rival band of the replacements

[@SethHurwitzwriter]

I just saw Jason Narducy perform this song as an acoustic encore!

[@campbelltron]

Alison Chesley on the cello, yeah!

[@AndySalinger33]

campbelltron right on! She's done so much in the studio! I caught her live a few years ago opening for Sleep. The girl has the goods.

[@fattypneumonia]

Helen Money ftw

[@brianmclendon1647]

So good!!!

[@DjWellDressedMan]

Bob Mould @ Horseshoe Tavern / Toronto - May 3 & 4, 2016 - Wont miss this!

[@georgh.4750]

Bob Mould is surely THE left wing 80s youth Punk hero in West Germany. I don´t know why he never comes over for a solo concert, for it would be sould out for sure.

[@waltercannon4700]

Bob Mould has lived in Berlin since 2015

[@MrGreglarry]

When is CBS going to invest in a soundman to mix the band for on-air consumption?

[@kennywowie]

ha

[@6789drummerdude]

This is the best version of this song

[@geoplaten337]

Amazing performance, thanks for posting it.

[@lqr824]

I got this in college in 1990 with the Columbia Record Club "14 CD's for one penny" deal. I liked Husker Du but probably preferred this album. I've lived abroad since graduating and didn't realize shows like Letterman had people like Mould on. Also I totally wouldn't have recognized Mould, frankly back in the day I never knew what my favorite musicians looked like.

[@user-os1tc8bd7y]

Damn. That's good stuff.

[@vidaljacques6505]

un guitariste prodigieux ,unique ,un son électrisant

[@faunaflage]

Jon Wurster!

[@scottyb83]

Killer cello solo!!!

[@lofisounds]

This is a gem.

[@jimmybass375]

Listening to this makes me so nostalgic for the 80's. So much incredible music.. pixies, replacements, sonic youth.. I won't even get into all the punk rock from that era, as that would take more time and space than we've got here. Makes me sad for kids today. Auto tuned pop crap that spouts nothing but a celebration of stupidity; champagne, fat stacks, gold chains, bitches. Just fucking sad.

[@OdeToTristan]

I love you man. I miss the days you could take a board downtown, pay 5 bucks, see a bunch of local bands with the likes of Bad Religion, Descendents, 7 Seconds,Exloited, Black Flag, Husker Du, etc. Sometimes the venue would have a half pipe and one creepy guy that everyone knew was creepy and you didn't feel bad about letting him know you would kick his arse if he even looked your way. Course back then we weren't scared of everything either.

[@NickHarman]

+James Binkley Yeh we all end up sounding like our parents 'music was better when I was a kid'.

[@duncefunce1513]

Fat stacks and bitches are pretty good

[@kevinmuzerMetalMind64]

Soul Asylum

[@kevinmuzerMetalMind64]

Husker Du

[@codpiecemcduff3421]

actually better than the radio version

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

Just superb

[@elmoblatch9787]

cello? I have never seen a cello in a power trio. Doesn't really work here, but love Mr. Mould.

[@ShaneKennedy1969]

There's four people playing.

[@kennethduchnowski]

Love it!

[@generidgley2900]

Philly Boy Roy on drums!

[@gibsondrummer]

Malcom Travis original Sugar drummer , is so much better

[@smaze1782]

Husker Du was one of my favorite bands of the 80s. Awesome music. Drummer looks like a full sized Peter Dinklage.

[@iamthevillain]

that's jon wurster...show some respect

[@jimmybass375]

tyrion..

[@misterdave2108]

Genius!

[@nickferraro3837]

Legend. Minnesota legend.

[@georgeredhawk1996]

they ought to crank up the big violin too

[@michaelbelsky139]

❤

[@GreenbeanFloyd]

oh, damn! thats Helen Money on cello!

[@billymont7]

+QuadropheniaBrosef Lol I was like who? I was thinking it was Alison...so I googled and realized yeah, same person. I met Alison back when she was with Verbow. She was very nice and Jason was cool as shit too. Not too many "rockstars" actually talk to you, they just answer you, but the both of them were really quite awesome. Sadly, I haven't really kept up with either of them and I never knew she developed a stage name.

[@hpccswk]

Check out Jason's new band Split Single

[@spnhm34]

Welcome to the world of Bob Mould. My eardrums haven’t been the same since I saw him with Jon and Jason in 2014

[@stevenfoellinger3163]

So many dont know , shame

[@toddarmitage887]

Phillyboy Roy behind the drum kit!

[@GenileTYN]

TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY.

[@JessicaClariceElsener]

Jon Wurster is the best at drumming and drum things.

[@MK-jh6cq]

no dude....not the best...;D

[@birdfightt]

how about that tom brokaw?

[@Jackferrett6781]

What a guy and also what a guy

[@codykennedy3015]

wow i didnt know peter dinklage drums for bob mould!

[@tinfoilhatter]

+Cody Kennedy dinklage? oh yeah he gets around!

[@tinfoilhatter]

+tinfoilhatter also drummed for toad the wet sprocket!

[@tinfoilhatter]

+tinfoilhatter haha!

[@NaturallyNathalie]

+Cody Kennedy , Thats Jon Wurster on drums....did I not get the joke?

[@georgeredhawk1996]

Cody Kennedy Lololol . Superchunk drummer .

[@crushsatan]

I wonder who the people are playing behind him. Must be a dream gig for them.

[@Lazymaven]

That's Jason Narducy on bass and Jon Wurster on drums. I don't want to downplay the greatness of Sugar, but this is easily Bob's best band ever.

[@neurochunk]

Wurster plays drums for Superchunk too.

[@elsquibbs]

neurochunk Narducy is now Superchunk's traveling bassist. I always thought Jon Wurster is Superchunk's secret weapon.

[@dmanonbass]

+crushsatan +1. One thing that always distracted me on old Husker albums was the drumming. I won't go into it but being a drummer...it just was a weak spot. This is a great band here. Jon is a fantastic drummer and Jason is amazing cover the low end and complementing Bob's vocals as well. As a three piece these guys cover a whole lot of sonic spectrum.

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

+elsquibbs Jason Narducy pops up in the weirdest places, too. He's featured on the first episode of HBO's Foo Fighters Sonic Holidays show, the Chicago episode. It turns out that Narducy was in a Junior High School punk band called Verboten with Dave Grohl's cousin Tracey Bradford. On a summer holiday visit, Tracey and Jason took young Dave to his very first punk rock show... how's that for a butterfly effect?

[@millyandspam]

Great job Bob!!!...Question: When you or any other group for that matter preform on on Dave's show, SNL etc... Do end up playing a few songs or a set for the audience or is it just one song. I have always wondered?

[@edthri]

If you ask Jason Narducy on twitter he might answer your question (@SplitSingleband)

[@margioh4264]

shows have specific timelines. bands only perform the songs the TV audience sees - unless it was a "Live on Letterman" performance - which is like a mini concert in the Letterman studio without anything else. Re: SNL, bands just want to relax at the after party and not perform as far as I've seen.

[@edwardgiovannelli5191]

I never was Letterman live, but I have seen Stephen Colbert, who does the same show in the same studio, twice. They had a band on one of those shows and they only played the one song that was put on the air. Interestingly, Stephen introduced them incorrectly and they got about 15 seconds into the song and stopped and the singer asked if they could re-do that. Colbert came back out on stage and re-did the entire intro and they played the song through. They didn't play anything else and the audience was ushered out right after. None of that made it onto the show that night, only the smooth (corrected) into and the song. It was a pretty cool experience.

[@Jackferrett6781]

RIP Hannah Baker and Alex Standall

[@jinxyblue6873]

Alex didn't die, he tried to commit suicide but survived

[@Jackferrett6781]

JINXY BLUE he should’ve died. No one in the history of firearms has ever survived a gunshot to the head

[@Jackferrett6781]

Bob Mould is Bob Bald

[@3jacov3]

wasn't this so loud it chipped paint off the ceiling of the studio?

[@74tsheridan]

Jacob Harrison No Bob waited until the next year to really fu%#ing rock out.

[@renatoangelotaddei6286]

Pavement

[@ellavaderknows]

That was a dead audience. Gave Bob a golf clap. It's Bob f'n Mould, you simpletons.

[@cocoygranada9403]

SIGNATURE AUDIO

[@Mike_Greentea]

Bad audio mix. Drums are too loud

[@gustavmarie]

Something kinda Whoesque in this version.

[@BenGamingShorts]

That poor cellist.

[@pranky4]

Sounds like a mess, great song though

[@grahamtaylor3093]

With Bob’s songs you can construct them so many different ways, over the years this album has given me Reggae, Ska, Country and Heavy, Heavy Rock variations of every song. They stay in your head, what more could you want. Fabulous.

[@Kae6502]

Mono? wtf?

[@MadMax31577]

The new band is better then Grant and Greg, imo.

[@urusoimi]

poor Bob, stuck with those...those millennials as the band...ewwwwwwwwww.

[@HomoChomsky]

URUSOIMI, do you really think Bob would appreciate the bullshit you just left on that comment?
