Makes this Wisconsin girl who is currently living in Norway choke up a bit, too. I love the band name 'Husker du'... it's great and a clever play on words, if you know Norwegian or Swedish.
As it is to have a VP pick from Minnesota who has expressed his love for the Huskers, the 'Mats, Prince, Dylan and the Minnesota scene. A surreal time indeed!
Yes, letting go of the 8G Band "makes no sense at all", absolutely. Thank you for the music. And a thank you to the NBC executives who made this decision, I guess the song is dedicated to them.
100%. Emmy-nominated late night band gets let go? This feels personal. Like someone in the band made a comment to some random Suit and he didn’t like it so he unilaterally decided to cut everyone out of spite.
@@marcopaulo5052 they say it was budget cuts, but it's never budget cuts. In 2022, NBCUniversal generated a $39,2 billion revenue so I don't think the shareholders would profit that much from the band's dismissal. I think your version is more likely to have happened.
@@thomastaipliadis8533 It doesn't work that way. Late Night is a 12:35am show. Its revenue is driven strictly by ad dollars. Ratings for all network shows are in the toilet, therefore advertising $$$ shrink. What NBCUniversal makes as a whole has no bearing on any one particular program. Ex: If an item at McD has poor sales, it's dropped from the menu, regardless of how much $$$ they make from everything else on the menu.
@@thomastaipliadis8533 Have you seen the ratings for shows in the 12:35am time slot? Late Night's ratings for the first quarter of 2024 were down 19 percent from the first quarter of 2023. Be glad they don't replace the show with a half-hour game show or a news magazine.
Bob Mould, the Man, the Myth, The LEGEND!!! Hüsker Dü, happiness in Song, this is a fitting end to late night bands. This should be on TV every night!!!
Wasn't expecting to burst into tears when they showed Fred playing, I miss Grant so fucking much. Fortunately for the world Bob is still rockin. If anyone needs me, I'll be listening to Zen Arcade for the rest of the afternoon. So will my neighbors. 🤘🧙♂🤘
Wasn't expecting that rollercoaster of emotions you just put me through, tearing up yet again, but laughing out loud with your last sentence!!! Thank you for that, brother 🙏🙏🙏"What's Going On?" with NBC...
if you have a minute, then you might like my music, I found Bob aged 12 and he changed my life in so many ways, that I can't even list. Listened to candy apple grey today, and the "grandma she got sick..." still makes me cry, bob is a god!
This song isn't just nostalgia -- love the message and the energy in this performance... Matches the mood of this occasion. Thanks, 8G Band...Fair winds and fresh muses!
Very cry, very emotion. Absolute coward move for NBC to cut the house band from the Late Night franchise. Seth Meyers gave them a great week and an honourable sendoff worthy of the 8G Band. Shame on NBC. Farewell to Syd, Seth, Eli, Fred, and live house music on Late Night.
Bob Mould is such a hero to me. Amazing songcraft, iconic guitar sound. Invented alternative rock, pretty much. Still underrated, somehow. He should be playing arenas.
My mom was always by my side watching Seth's entire show, and the joy & energy The 8G Band always brought - "jumping" Eli in particular - made my mom joyful herself... Shame on NBC for doing that!!! My mom passed at the end of 2018, yet Eli & the gang made a still very tough & difficult mourning somewhat bearable because of that memory! ...and if I'm crying right now writing this, it's not only because I miss my mom, but also because The 8G Band was THE best, coolest, edgiest band on Late Night!!! 💔💔💔💔...BTW thank you to Bob Mould for such a great send off (or is it eff off?) and thank you all my fellow Jackals whose comments today made me feel less alone ❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹Today, we Jackals are howling like Wolves...
@@loganswiss6903 Very sorry for your loss. Even six years later, it’s amazing how certain things will bring up memories of loved ones. It’s good to have those moments to hold onto.
@@jjunture Thank you so very much for your sentiment 🙏🙏🙏I was very emotional yesterday (a quality I most admire about Seth's character) and very upset too... so much so that tragedies in my life overlapped and I wrote 2018 instead of 2022 (sorry) I'm surprised I didn't wrote 2016 because the tragedy of that year (election) is what made my mom & me to fall in love with Seth, having had the most heartfelt, genuine reaction to that nightmare of a day... Anyway... I may have no family left, but this pack of Jackals is the next best thing 😌😌😌Thank you again, have the best of everything life has to offer, and take extra good care of yourself 🙏🙏🙏
I grew up in Minneapolis and saw Husker Dü and Bob whenever they played 7th Street Entry and at more than a few South Minneapolis house parties. The Minneapolis underground music scene from 1974-1984 was a freaking blast. So many great bands and performers (Prince, The Tyme, The Suicide Commandos, Willie and the Bees, Huskers, Replacements, The Suburbs, Steve Kramer and The Wallets, Soul Asylum, Curtiss A, Babes in Toyland among a host of others) in totally accessible venues. Tone-deaf network suits Killing off Seth's 8G Band Makes no sense at all.
Wow I didn't know that NBC cut this band for "budgetary" reasons. Late night shows and bands have a symbiotic relationship. What are they going to have when the show returns in September? A phone bluetoothed into the sound system playing royalty free music from Spotify? No wonder Seth was emotional. Terrible decision NBC.
Ahh.. great to hear Bob, sad the band is leaving. Go on tour! Just update the show with multiple wardrobe changes consisting of one legged, sparkling catsuits and I think the kids would pour in.
Fantastic performance! Nice way to express yourself. I'll be sad to see a live band go away. Especially after such a long time in such a creative space!
This is the first I've heard of the guest drummer program on your show, and honestly it sounds like such a gorgeous thing to spring from necessity. That seems to be a thread that pulls this show up - necessity bringing out the best in everyone involved. The crew, the band, the audience, and Seth. Never stop embracing change, it is the undeniable strength of this show.
It's a shame that not every part of Seth's Show is on TH-cam, you would've loved it, especially for someone like yourself, describing the Show so perfectly - sigh - Shame on NBC!!!
That's a lot of people for a power trio. Seeing him next month! I had listend to Husku, Sugar and some of his solo work growing up but I actually missed Workbook. Finally gave it a spin a few months back and have been smitten by it since.
I respected the hell out of, but didn't quite love listening to, the Du's. Workbook, in contrast, I really loved playing and listening to. I had just gotten a CD player and had it on CD in... 1990 I think... and I'm sure I still have it though I haven't physically seen it in well over a decade and might not have played it since the 90s.
This was so cool! Fred is one of those people you love and appreciate as more time passes. Still love the Prince and the Mac n cheese story. Great band! Great job guys!
Good observation! It was such a painful moment for all of us fans of the show, fans of the 8G Band, all of us Jackals, that I almost missed the point of how important Amy's role in all this was...
Dude this performance kicked ass! As a YT-only viewer of _LNSM_ for a decade due to my incompatible work schedule, this is the first time I've actually heard the 8G band proper. NBC, why tf would you let go of this band when the profits you make from _LNSM_ would moree than cover their compensation?
Bob played solo in Memphis in October, and I couldn’t have been happier. Most alt rockers (esp those not from the South) don’t bother with us, but not him! Hell, we need him worse than San Fran or NY do! Makes no sense at all! Plenty of Husker Du (and Sugar and BM) fans here! Love this lineup. I think they should tour and visit us!
The morons that decided to cancel this band need to be fired. Also, any other jackals get the impression that NBC is trying to suppress Late Night due to its dedication to the truth? LOTs of hiatus this summer. It also seems that I have to fight my algorithms to get the show back onto top of the rotation after a hiatus. Keep up the good work crew. We need you.
A Closer Look is probably the most important segment of NBC's late night programming. It's a bummer when the show is on break and they miss out on news
The Olympics happen every 2 years, (winter and summer intermixed) and shows have been pre-empted every time. Seth will be hosting a live "Closer Look Primetime" special on September 11 after the presidential debate. But some need to live in a world that can only be explained by unsupported conspiracy theories.
Fairly certain that's the thinking behind choosing that track (and it's a bop to boot). Been angry and crying every time I watch this tonight. Hearing my mum cry on the phone earlier because "we're not gonna see our guy [Eli] jumping anymore" isn't making it any easier.
Whatever exec suit thought cutting a Late Night band because of budget... needs to be forced to listen to this song on repeat for the next 5 years. They deserve the world for the dedication they gave to you and you showed them the door.
It'd also be cool if former band members including subs were featured on the album too. Obviously can't get all of them, but it'd be fun to include key ones like Marnie Stern and Kimberly Thompson.
I would imagine that they hired the band to record a bunch of bits to use going forward. Or maybe they'll just extract past music from the archives. And they have a lot of stuff banked from the pandemic era of the show.
@@gecafe Great observation! The show during the pandemic, on top of maintaining our sanity, brought an audience-sound-free great music from The 8G Band, back when the wonderfully talented Marnie Stern was still a part of it 💔💔💔

Hearing a Hüsker Dü song on national television in 2024 is surreal for a Minnesota boy like myself. Amazing job. The band will be missed by everyone.
Makes this Wisconsin girl who is currently living in Norway choke up a bit, too. I love the band name 'Husker du'... it's great and a clever play on words, if you know Norwegian or Swedish.
Perfectly said, fellow Jackal 💔💔💔
Yup!

The 8G band gets the final word. Outstanding!
This made me choke up. You all will be missed.
May the Rock Gods bless Fred for putting Hüsker Dü back on the TV!
The best talk show band hands down. This truly makes no sense at all. And to send it off with Bob just put highlights that fact more.
Bob Mould, the Man, the Myth, The LEGEND!!! Hüsker Dü, happiness in Song, this is a fitting end to late night bands. This should be on TV every night!!!
This should, indeed!!!
OMG......I lived in Minneapolis in the 70's and 80's. Husker DU are hometown GODS. This is So awesome!!!!!
This is pure fire. Bob is life, long live Bob.
Man, you could tell Seth was emotional. Definitely went out with a bang.
That's Seth's great quality, he wears his emotions on his sleeve 💔💔💔

complete agreement 🐾🐾
Great performance!! Bob still got it!! BOOO NBC!!
Great job guys. Superb musicianship and energy. Bob Mould is passion personified.
My favorite husker du song,brings me back to the days when college radio was everything
Memories of being a HS frosh listening to the local college alternstive radio station at 1am when "alternwtive" actually meant something
*alternative
RIP 8G Band. Thanks for all the fantastic music over the years! ❤
Bob Mould is such a hero to me. Amazing songcraft, iconic guitar sound. Invented alternative rock, pretty much. Still underrated, somehow. He should be playing arenas.
Minnesota is having a moment in 2024!
...and we are all grateful for it 🙏🙏🙏
Bob still rocking in his 60s with that energy, what a legend!
Not having this awesome band every night going forward makes no sense at all. ❤️😭❤️
This was really special. And Bob Mould and that very song (and 22” ride cymbal) helped make it even more so. Thank you, Seth. ☺️

Killing off Seth's 8G Band
Makes no sense at all.
Incredible music scene!!! Minneapolitans can and should be proud 🙏🙏🙏
If anybody hasn't heard Eli's band Girls Against Boys you are missing out.
The very great Bob Mould!!!
i can hear Grant Hart vocals in my head❤ rest easy
Love Grant, RIP
This was really great to see. The first live show I saw after pandemic was Bob Mould.
Absolutely Amazing, Thanks for Sharing 😊

it's gonna be like tom snyder whole over again
I saw Husker Du at the Irving Plaza in NYC 1984....blew my mind and my ears are still ringing from that night today! This is a great version!!
This is the greatest thing ever!
Ahh.. great to hear Bob, sad the band is leaving.
Go on tour! Just update the show with multiple wardrobe changes consisting of one legged, sparkling catsuits and I think the kids would pour in.
Perfect song. Big FU to NBC.
To the NBC suits who made this decision I hope you step on a Lego
I wonder if Fred Armisen ever had a fever dream in which he was a member of a late night show band, performing with Bob Mould 😂
Fantastic performance! Nice way to express yourself. I'll be sad to see a live band go away. Especially after such a long time in such a creative space!
I'm sad already 💔💔💔
I did not expect to cry listening to that 😢
You're not alone, trust me 💔💔💔

THIS is how you use music to send a message, one that will live on for as long as YT exists
You gotta thank boomers for that lmao 😅

Un-fucking-acceptable that this band was cut. It's absolutely insane. (Also: holy balls, this performance is everything everything everything)
Absolutely fantastic stuff🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amazing!!!
Makes no sense at all, asking them to leave. Love you guys!!!!!!!
Seth having Amy on the show was a good move...something to help lift his spirits on a very hard night.
Good observation! It was such a painful moment for all of us fans of the show, fans of the 8G Band, all of us Jackals, that I almost missed the point of how important Amy's role in all this was...
Damn, that is a killer band. ❤
This is where I learned to hang onto that d note through entire songs back in the 80's
Bob Mould is a god and this was amazing just wow
Just one song?! Something from black sheets of rain would be mind-blowing. I'll rewatch the video.
Hanging Tree live would have been cool too
A legend joining legends.
I got to see HUSKER DU in 86 & 87 at THE FILLMORE in Frisco!! GO BOB!!! ;P
OMG OMG MY FAVORITE HUSKER DU SONG!! Snare roll FRED!!
Fred's face at 2:22 is the face of a man very proud of himself. Good on ya, mate.

Oh man, what a indie rock wet dream team this is 🥰
Perfect description!!!
Like I said in the Corrections comments, I want an 8G Band album, preferably as a CD or some other format where the band gets all the royalties.
I'd buy it in a New York minute!!! Wonderful Idea, fellow Jackal 🙏🙏🙏

This song still rules in 2024
Guess NBC is just gonna play A.I music now. Its free so it must be good right? Right?
