Coming as an off-shoot to the popular Live on Letterman series that brought webcasts of Phish, MGMT, Broken Bells, & so many more bands, the newly-announced Legends of Letterman series will pay homage to The Late Show host in his final days.
So far only two bands have been announced for the series, as Mumford & Sons will play on May 5th and Dave Matthews Band on May 7th. Each will get a roughly-45-minute time block, starting at 8 PM, and the set will be live streamed via CBS.com and similar affiliated websites.
The Late Show recently announced the musical guests that would be performing on the actual show, which includes such luminaries as Mumford and Sons, Dave Matthews, The Avett Brothers, and more. Letterman’s final broadcast will be on May 20th, at which time Stephen Colbert will take the reins as host of The Late Show.
