Joan Jett performs "Road Runner," then chats with Dave for two segments. This has been previously uploaded by others, but the version here is in stereo.
Letterman was even more fun back then! Or maybe it's because of the great Joan Jett. I wonder about the look on that guy's face when he found out he missed that call!
Starting at 4:57 you can hear noises from either the band or backstage. At 5:08 Letterman pointed behind him and said there are some "backstage problems". Watching it again I guess her guitar player was shouting the answers to his questions maybe before Jett can? Letterman seemed bugged by it the rest of the interview. He ended the vid by saying maybe he can get his job in Indiana back but I guess that was about the failed phone call.
Ah -- _that_ fist fight... :) Sorry, this interview wasn't fresh in my mind when you asked about it. Just replayed it. Still have no idea what happened. You may be right that it was her guitarist who was shouting something. But I don't have any inside info on this. I know that this was an odd show -- not much was going right all night, and the failed, time-killing phone call just added to it.
How did I miss Joan Jett. I am 77yrs and only heard her name before this week and am seeing her on Letterman. I am timetraveler in love. She was incredible. I was never a rock fan until now it's October 2022. She is on my playlist at last.
@Paul Whitcomb Paul loves Del ? Does that mean you're bi? I am a straight male. I have no problem with bi women unless they want all their men to be bi too. I have no intention or inclination to rub against another man. Get my drift?.
Hi Dan. I discover "new to me" bands every day. Nothing wrong with that! Here's another great performer, less known than Jett but also important: ua-cam.com/video/8Bh0vW3PPnI/v-deo.html ( Chrissy Amphlett, The Divinyls.)
I LOVE HER SMILE!!😍

I love her everything
I won a pair of tickets to her show on the Pier around this time. She was awesome.
Joan Jett is beautiful
I hate myself for loving you.
I love rock n roll.
I love the guests that run out like there's a fire alarm at the end.
I miss staying up late on school nights to watch stuff like this on TV.
I miss the old hosts. These new one's are all politics.

Duane the Wildman forever regrets that he didn't pick up the phone and talk to Joan Jett! Too shy!
How do you know?
How cool is she?! 😛
Her laugh is cute
Joan was good actress, Light of Day was good film, wish she'd kept acting in movies
Great bit Dave. SMFH.
Doesn't hurt to be beautiful either.

Do you know anything about the "fist fight" that happened backstage?
First I've heard of it. What happened?
Starting at 4:57 you can hear noises from either the band or backstage. At 5:08 Letterman pointed behind him and said there are some "backstage problems". Watching it again I guess her guitar player was shouting the answers to his questions maybe before Jett can? Letterman seemed bugged by it the rest of the interview. He ended the vid by saying maybe he can get his job in Indiana back but I guess that was about the failed phone call.
And finished with "fistfights backstage". Was still rattled
Ah -- _that_ fist fight... :) Sorry, this interview wasn't fresh in my mind when you asked about it. Just replayed it. Still have no idea what happened. You may be right that it was her guitarist who was shouting something. But I don't have any inside info on this.

What are you talking about?
I wonder if Dwayne the Wild Man is now Dwayne the Mail Man...
❓
She welcome to call me anytime!!! 😂

W.T. ....... Where have you been 🙃
@@williambyham3674 I am over her already.
She sure knows how to get people moving!👩🏻🦰🐕🐕❤️🍸🍸
I remember watching this live and
never forgot that line "You look like
a kid.." " I am a kid!".
.
.
This period was when Joan was at her hottest IMHO. Her hair, clothes, etc.😘
That letter < TikTok/Instagram simping on Joan
Hot from the get go . Never married?
Love it! Even though it's staged as f*ck. Well, that's television, I guess.
Joan had nice legs. She should have showcased them more.
Agreed
