Video · Watch Eddie Vedder Serenade David Letterman With 'Better Man'

Eddie Vedder teamed up with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra for a rousing, fitting performance of Pearl Jam’s “Better Man” on The Late Show Monday night as David Letterman began his final three-night stand as host.
As Letterman noted, Vedder has taken the Ed Sullivan Theater stage numerous times since Pearl Jam first appeared on The Late Show in 1996, even once trying his hand at comedy (“I think that will probably be the highlight of the man’s career,” Letterman cracked). Vedder’s riveting performance on Monday, however, undoubtedly earned a spot in Late Show lore.
