This was another Paul Shaffer's band performance with some visitor's. Letterman was into rock music but he never let the bands play their own music. It didn't matter what form of rock music (the category is broad) the visitor's would be forced to become a member of the Paul Shaffer band. It sucked.
I think it might have been a union thing. If there was live music on broadcasts, it had to be played, at lease in part, by the union musicians the network was required to hire, or something like that.

Man, that keyboard is amazing. I saw They Might Be Giants live the other day and they technically haven't really changed
I just saw them in April for the first time and it was stupendous! Seeing them at a small club in San Diego again tomorrow night…can’t wait!

For TMBG, it was less of a problem, since there were only two of them anyway. They kind of needed a backup band.
