Dave had THE best music, bands you rarely got to see on tv then.

Frankly, this is one of the best songs ever and this live performance is truly and plainly amazing.

Frankly one of the best power pop albums of all time

Several weeks prior to this performance my girlfriend and I went to the old RCKNDY music venue in Portland, Oregon to see Soul Asylum with the Lemonheads and the Jayhawks. My girlfriend was all giddy about seeing Evan Dando perform. When we got there the Jayhawks were already onstage and we made a beeline for the beer garden. While I was waiting to place an order she tapped me on the shoulder with some urgency and whispered very loudly in my ear: “Oh, my God! He’s right behind us!” Sure enough, standing at the edge of the beer garden with a brew in one hand and a cigarette in the other was Evan Dando. He was bopping his head to the music with the loopiest grin on his face and as Jehovah is my witness, wearing the same outfit that he wore on Letterman- complete with that brightly-colored faux-fur parka. She even bummed a smoke off of him which he gladly gave up and continued grooving to the Jayhawks. Later on the Lemonheads tore up the stage with a stellar performance that help set the tone for Soul Asylum. True story. Honest.

This was such an incredible time to be alive. Right before music got really bad and the internet. The end of an era. Letterman was the best.

"Right before music got really bad and the internet." Yet here we are viewing it on the internet watching it. And thanks to You Tube we can again see great stuff like this. But yeah, Matterhune, I'll agree that most modern stuff is disposable cr@p. My now 75-year-old father calls the 1990s "The last great era of music" (secretly he liked Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.) Some good bands emerged in the early 2000s: White Stripes, early Coldplay, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie, Vampire Weekend, Cage the Elephant, etc. But much of today's stuff makes atrocities like "We Built This City", "Disco Duck", "Escape, the Pina Colada Song", "Kokomo", "Don't Worry, Be Happy", and "We Didn't Start the Fire" seem downright tolerable.

Evan was blessed with a great smooth voice - one of the best of his generation.

definitely in the top 10 performances on the geek's show.

This is my all-time favourite version! What a great time in music ‘92 was. Letterman had all the best bands on weekly. I saw Nirvana in Melbourne Australia in January ‘92 and for me that was where it all began.

Dando is a stoned out fool! Love it.

The test of time. This song endures. One of the best since the birth of rock and roll. And I'm so old my first rock song I ever heard was I Want to Hold Your Hand. The first thing on the radio that got my attention was Hey Jude, in 1968. Dando is fiercely underrated.

One friend knew some girls from a town over, we went and picked them up. Another friend had a brother in college radio and put in a tape. First song was the first time any of us heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. We drove around, 3 guys and 3 girls in my big Olds and listened to the song over and over all night and life was never the same again.

Killer song

how many acoustic guitars does one song need? apparently 1, 2, 3 and then the additional electric rhythm, so . . . many. many, many, MANY acoustic guitars all doing the same part. I can imagine the sound mixer just going "What. How many you want? Three? Three big-body acoustic guitars . . . all doing the same part? And where do you suggest I place these guitars in the mix? Just everywhere? Check. Gotcha. It'll be great." moderation and musical temperance -- not something the early '90s were famous for. probably beats Cyndi Lauper, though. (though not if she's doing _Time After Time,_ that song fucking rules, man!!)

December 1992

These chords were quickly ripped by Dave Grohl and Courtney Love with Learn to Fly and Awful

It is a shame about Ray. Sad stuff

I had this song on a constant loop when it came out and it is still in my top 10 favorites. Evan was in top form vocally in this performance and it's the best live version I've seen on KZread. The only downside is Paul Shaffer and the band ruined the moment when they tried to sing "Raaaaaaaaaay" between verses. They sounded like a bunch of kids going through puberty.

They were dragging it out intentionally... even Evan was singing it that way. It's art.

Ever wondered about the magic behind "It's A Shame About Ray"? Get the inside scoop from Bruce Robb himself as he details the recording process in a fresh interview on "Produce Like A Pro" shot at #CherokeeStudios kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGeTp8qFqZbPobw.html

Always an interesting moment when you get on Letterman but your drummer and guitarist aren't needed. 😬

She is married to Paul Simon who wrote Ms. Robinson, so kind of teasing him by eluding his wife is a great/better song writer. Plus Evan really respects female singer/songwriters.
