Welcome to the Letterman KZbin Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

One of the greatest bands ever! Now I would like to see please the late show where "David wants to listen to the Eagles"

[@TombCat]

I remember that. Paul made a call - at one point I think he said it would cost $250,000 to play two lines of a song IF they got permission. It was a funny interaction. Dave was not letting it go and Paul looked like he knew what was up. Don Henley is famously litigious, even here on YT.

Keith moon was the originator and undisputed king of hotel trashing and taught joe walsh everything he knew about hotel trashing!

[@lloydbraun6026]

And that is behavior that should be lauded? How about the teenage girls they passed between each other?

@@lloydbraun6026 nobody said it should but it was the way it was then! I actually dont know whats worse! The debauchery back then or all the whiny live in my parents basement till im 30 SJW's now days! Both are disgusting!

[@jshepard152]

If Vince Gill singing Eagles songs isn't a greed tour, I can't imagine what would be.

[@MovementGraffiti]

@@jshepard152Vince sounded Awesome covering Glenn's leads at MSG this past September. Eagles sounded top tier. Glenn was definitely missed though- No one can do harmonies like him.

[@billb.2673]

Yeah, I'm sure it was a lot of fun for the minimum wage workers to clean up after a bunch of millionaires. Ha Ha. Very amusing.

Seriously. If I did that I'd be ashamed to admit it.

@jshepard152 I did it and I feel terrible about it.

[@EyeTunz]

Why trash a hotel room? I don’t get it.

[@EightPieceBox]

Joe Walsh was wasted. Glenn and Don were just a-holes. Go find the documentary History of the Eagles. The first half that goes up until 1980 is the best documentary of any band whether you loved the or hated them.

[@mikemccool7575]

@@EightPieceBox I hate the Eagles and admit that was a fantastic documentary

It's something to do to alleviate the boredom.

You werent around during that era! They all did it back then!

@@juliebryne2903 It's true. Go search for Keith Moon stories! Even The Beatles wrecked a bit of havoc.

Technically, they were “Eagles”, not “The Eagles”.
