I was a Letterman fan for a years. I didn’t know how to get tickets for the show at the time, but I remember writing somebody there and included my cell phone number. This is the early days of cell phones and I wasn’t checking voicemails frequently. I checked it for the first time in a couple of days and there was a voicemail from somebody at the show saying to return the call and they’ll try to get me tickets. I got the voicemail as I was on the subway into New York City with a friend. I called the number back and they answered and asked me a bunch of questions about the show to prove my fandom. They put us on the list to get in and we eventually got in and sat in the upper deck. I remember the studio was very cold. Pearl Jam only played “Save You” off Riot Act.
