David Letterman’s Most Memorable Moments

David Letterman’s Most Memorable Moments — There have been so many incredible moments that have occurred on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman.’

Here, Paul McCartney plays atop the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater for ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ on July 15, 2009. It was almost like January 1969 all over again, as Paul McCartney took to the top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater for his performance on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ – a performance reminiscent of the Beatles’ iconic rooftop performance 40 years on top of the Apple Studios on London’s Savile Row.

It also harkened back to another moment 45 years ago when the Beatles made their first American appearance at that same Ed Sullivan Theater.

Aptly, McCartney played the same song that his old band performed three times on top of the Apple Studios, ‘Get Back’, fittingly followed by one of his new songs, ‘Sing The Changes’, from his latest album, ‘Electric Arguments’, much to the delight of the assembled fans on the street down below, before chatting to host Letterman about that first US appearance and his relationship with the late Michael Jackson.
