Look! Live Music

There's no denying that NBC has been a clusterfuck of epic proportions lately but, in the past week, they've been home to a handful of great musical performances. First, on Wednesday The National debuted "Terrible Love," the first track from their forthcoming and highly anticipated album, High Violet, on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Then, last night, Pearl Jam was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live where they performed two tracks from last year's admittedly disappointing Backspacer that definitely played much better as live tracks, "Just Breathe" and the record's standout track, "Unthought Known." NBC, you may not know how to spend money wisely or how to get rid of cancer like Jay Leno, but you know how to book musical acts. So, good on you for that anyway. Check out all three performances below.
