I've watched this a million times. This is one of my favorite live performance of any band during that era, and this was seriously one of the best eras for rock.
Glenn Marshall record companies nowadays purposely put out shit with generic monotone beats with no soul... they don't want people with passion and thought... they want everyone to enjoy and follow shit like Flo Rida
One of the greatest moments in television history. The night L7 stumbled out of The East Village, took a cab to midtown, & destroyed on Letterman. Nirvana on SNL & L7 on Letterman, 2 watershed moments in Rock History. Letterman- "Gee, I hope they're not falling in with the wrong crowd. heh heh heh."
My country is declaring a lockdown.. and it's not easy for an older lad..to go outside... But I'm fortunate to have this track in my pandemic playlist.. Much love from Philippines ❤️
Sweet edgy Suzi; Smart funny Donita; sexy as hell Jennifer, I saw them last night and it wasn’t a blast from the past, it was the REAL THING. They came onstage with their guitars, and one sound guy, and just played. I LOVE THESE LADIES!

Paul Schaffer is no laughing matter as a musician himself, but he is one lucky man to have been there to watch and play alongside so many great bands that visited Letterman. My personal favorite Letterman performances mostly come from Foo Fighters and R.E.M., but a few others come to mind that always played well like The Black Keys.
What a great performance. On live national television, which is always so unforgiving with loud bands' sound. And Letterman. What a patronizing bastard.
Letterman was the one who personally picked the bands to be on, so I wouldn't call him a bastard. He was the only late night host who would ever have them on at the time.
I remember when this aired... yes, I'm that old... and saying, "Why is Letterman's band playing with them?" L7 could have held their own without any noise from Paul Shaffer's band of norms.
BobWa6913 look at them, they're having a fucking blast. Forget the Paul and his guys were silly tv personalities on a goofy late night show. Strip it all down and they were musicians. Musicians like to jam together. I bet Paul Schafer and The World's Most Dangerous Band were stoked to play with L7 and I'd be be willing to bet L7 was having a blast playing with them too. So yeah that's probably why, because who wouldn't want to rock out with some bad ass heavy chics live on t ?
I love them they the most talented and most beautiful female grunge rock band in history:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:XI love you,Donita Sparks,i will marry you:X:X:X:X
Those are the old Longboxes. CDs originally came in boxes that big so that they'd stand out against the vinyl. Fear was since CDs were considerably smaller they'd get overlooked/stolen
@Nightsurf59 Check out the video of Dinosaur Jr playing "The Wagon" on Letterman back in the day, Lettermans house band guitarist tries to upstage J Mascis (God), J was not going to let that happen and at about the 1:40 minute mark J lets the most unholy, amazing solo rip.... Making lettermans guitarist look like a complete amateur. It's one of the best Dino Jr/Mascis moments ever captured on film :)
I’ve been smoking pot since I got off work hrs ago but this live version is so damn good. They all play very well and in time together. The lead singer’s voice is very raw with a sort of sexually ambiguous tone. She also sound sounds sort of like a male billy Armstrong at times. The one in the wigs backing vocals are so sardonic.

remember when 90s bands knew how to rock? L7 were awesome
Glenn Marshall record companies nowadays purposely put out shit with generic monotone beats with no soul... they don't want people with passion and thought... they want everyone to enjoy and follow shit like Flo Rida
You saw what Nirvana did when the show insisted on a back track?
L7 still are awesome!
They still are!
Early 90s rules
1:35 Crazy tone matching, sounds just like the studio version
the world needs more Donita Sparks. or even ladies just like her.
Yes sir! Im tired of these ladie macho man hunter bitches! We need some punk rock chicks man! Haha
***** Lol
Well... I think Donita Spark and her friends are some kind of " macho man hunter ". So ...
@@selenelacaze9883 really? What makes you say that eh?
@@dyr234 wtf is a ladie macho man hunter bitch!??
Look how happy Paul is at 1:01! So good.
totally!!!! what a catbirds seat he had, shit, he say in w/ EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
Remember when bands performed live and didn't lip sync?? this is so raw and cool !!!
How it should be!
Live an Raw
wow, so you are very young, because it was not to much time ago since artists sing live on TV ¬¬
Still play my L7 CDs...great times
I agree
Jennifer's going crazy! Letterman was great for giving alternative bands a shot

One of the very best performances EVER of Rock ‘n Roll on television! So raw and so much fun!
I loved _every_ thing about L7. Pure rock stars. Especially Donita.
Just rocking out......0 fucks given. I miss the 90s.
My country is declaring a lockdown.. and it's not easy for an older lad..to go outside...
But I'm fortunate to have this track in my pandemic playlist..
Much love from Philippines ❤️
DEE PLAKAS!! Unmatched. She's a beautiful monster on drums.
I keep watching this and I don't get sick of it.
Return me to the 90's.
I love drugs, cried watching letterman’s last episode on acid ...good times.
Me too, specially during Foo Fighters when they were showing all those old clips
WHICH WAS HIS LAST EPISODE?
Apresentação maravilhosa !
Com o áudio soando perfeitamente...
Muito bom o vídeo.
L7 pra sempre !
Rio de Janeiro-🇧🇷
I think L7’s drummer had the most fun. 🥰
I remember going from Los Santos to Las Venturas thru the long railroad by listening to this song on Radio X... Damn those memories.
2024? 🤘🎸
The Queens! Went on mainstream tv and destroyed it!
The best music and the best times.
LOS SANTOS GOOD MEMORIES MAN
Great performance, plenty of energy that album from start to finish was real good, still is.
I love this song. Looks like their concerts are a blast.
Best freaking band ever! I miss them so much. Thanks L7JETT for the multi L7 uploads!
Nicolas Denommee They're touring right now Nico
Donita sparks is so hot!! I have a major crush on her
still kickass awesome in 2016
How have i never seen this?!?!? Talk shows wouldn't let this awesomeness within 100 miles of them now..
I saw them play in Hollywood. My friend flaked out and I went by myself. Great sexy show!!
LEGENDARY performance!!!
Punk rock pra ninguem botar defeito!!! Amo vcs L7
Sweet edgy Suzi; Smart funny Donita; sexy as hell Jennifer, I saw them last night and it wasn’t a blast from the past, it was the REAL THING. They came onstage with their guitars, and one sound guy, and just played. I LOVE THESE LADIES!
Maybe the best Letterman performance ever. And the house band added to it.
I need to find a donita sparks one day,cos that chick man..damn!

Co się dzieje, co jest
W każdym mieście i w każdym miasteczku
Hamowanie stylów jest planem
Mają nas na dłoni każdej ręki
Gdy udajemy, że jesteśmy martwi
Gdy udajemy, ze jesteśmy martwi
Nie mogą usłyszeć żadnego słowa, które mówimy
Gdy udajemy, że jesteśmy martwi
(dawaj, dawaj, dawaj, dawaj
dawaj, dawaj, dawaj, dawaj)
(dawaj, dawaj, dawaj, dawaj
dawaj, dawaj, dawaj, dawaj)
Złączyliśmy stoliki
Nie były ani moralne ani większościowe
Obudź się i poczuj kawę
Lub po prostu powiedz 'nie' indywidualności
Gdy udajemy, że jesteśmy martwi
Gdy udajemy, że jesteśmy martwi
Nie mogą usłyszeć żadnego słowa, które mówimy
Gdy udajemy, że jesteśmy martwi

Jennifer Finch = Flea (female version)!!! hahaha

Banda show .
São Paulo/ Itaquera. 2019.
This is most 90s performance ever haha
pyroseed13 not exactly
It's pretty fucking 90's though.
L7 was one of the Best rock concerts in Stuttgarts Röhre i love donita
ótima banda feminina!!!!!! L7 eternamente .....
Induct them to the hall of fame already.
I love them.
Some Debut! Welcome David, and welcome world to L-7, Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply:: God loves Donita.
What a great performance. On live national television, which is always so unforgiving with loud bands' sound.
And Letterman. What a patronizing bastard.
Letterman was the one who personally picked the bands to be on, so I wouldn't call him a bastard. He was the only late night host who would ever have them on at the time.
Funny thing is a couple of them were already in their 30s by this time. "Neglecting their studies" lol
You don’t understand comedy or sarcasm.
Love the "Honey Bucket" sign on the bass cabinet. I'm pretty sure I've still got one or two of those signs packed away somewhere.
Omg I wouldn’t have noticed that! Representing the PNW in the weirdest way lol
Love these girls
he best guitar orintated band of all fucking time hands down and fucking thmbs up
The nineties.
wow cds in a box, i wish the 90's would come back
limited edition version. came with a bandana
The way they ended the song was chaotic greatness.
I remember when this aired... yes, I'm that old... and saying, "Why is Letterman's band playing with them?" L7 could have held their own without any noise from Paul Shaffer's band of norms.
The house band used to play beside the guest band. Very weird, I don't know why.
BobWa6913 look at them, they're having a fucking blast. Forget the Paul and his guys were silly tv personalities on a goofy late night show. Strip it all down and they were musicians. Musicians like to jam together. I bet Paul Schafer and The World's Most Dangerous Band were stoked to play with L7 and I'd be be willing to bet L7 was having a blast playing with them too.
So yeah that's probably why, because who wouldn't want to rock out with some bad ass heavy chics live on t ?
That house band sprayed muso shit on everything.
I don't think the house band ever had so much fun!
The house band also played with White Zombie. More Human Than Human.
@1BigSonicBoom1 they are gorgeous in torn jeans and scruffy hair... man i wish we could rewind time
L7 had some rockin songs..
Ikr. I think that they were so much better than the other grunge bands like nirvana,breeders,pearl jam,stone temple pilots and Hole.
why is this the first time Im seeing this?! so mad
I TOTALLY AGREE, i cant wait til next wed
Sparks hair 😍😍😍
Let's start a revolution! We need this raw fucking music now in 2019 🤘
The bass player is so cool
Hell yea...Jennifer rawks!!!

Fucking awesome
I love you ❤❤❤with Love friom Russia

It must have been louder than fuck in that studio.
A great song that goes good anywhere IMO. "Easy listening"
Excellent and gorgeous
gimme a punk rock chick any day...they're the sweetest, smartest, funniest, realest, bravest people I've ever met.
men can't see a woman playing an instrument that looks like this
Paul was having so much fun!
Those are the old Longboxes. CDs originally came in boxes that big so that they'd stand out against the vinyl. Fear was since CDs were considerably smaller they'd get overlooked/stolen
Such edge. Wow.
WHERE ARE THE 90´S ? GIMME AGAIN , PLEASE GOD!
that was fun!!!!
wow great performance! ..and funny critics afterwards... lol
@L7JETT Nope, their name comes from the Classic Lab series "L7" Bass-amp.
Paul having a great time back there. Love it!
This is the sanitized, American version of this song. Check out the British performance on The Word in 1992. A whole different experience. 😂
...jam out with your clam out!
@@ColAkula It went out live! Rock 'n' roll! 😆
These ladies seem to be really having a ball. As they should be of course since it is their birthright to rock this hard.
Before backing tracks they had live bands that would back the actual band up
_😍L7(L4)pickin up CA coast Boy Scouts😍_
Bonita is so fd up makes me miss the old days sometimes lol
@cnavaro88 means "Square" check how L7 looks like an square if you do with your both hands "L" "7"
Danita, I went to H.S. with her. Partayed a bit with her too. Wasss Up
