[Old School Hound]

One of my favorite performances from the last thirty years occurred on David Letterman's finale  on NBC in 1991.   Letterman was leaving NBC for CBS after eleven plus years doing Late Night. Conan was taking over David's show and Leno had been hired to take over for Carson on The Tonight Show (much to Letterman's dismay). The one guest that David had always wanted on the show in that time but couldn't ever make it happen was Springsteen. Guess who shows up on his last show at NBC?  

  Most performers would just show up for the audience and just mail in the performance.  Not  "The Boss."  He proceeded to tear the joint apart with a riveting and memorable live performance, even jumping on top of Schaeffer's piano near the end.   One of the great television moments in the last three decades.    Oh, how I miss those Glory Days!!!  Enjoy!!!
