Why does everyone think he'll play black?

Because his recent musical guests did the first song they performed on the show. And Eddie sang Black in his first appearance. But as a band it was Hail, Hail. And the CBS Orchestra plays that almost every week. So it could be that.

I was wondering of that was it. Ed played black solo his first appearance? I shall have to youtube that!

Edddddieeeeee! So excited by this news!

yea, it's great.. especially since pj started going elsewhere for late night appearances lately. there was clearly a lot of mutual respect over the years, and it's nice to see at least eddie paying dave one more visit.

how about hail hail?

Agreed, Hail Hail it is. Paul and the band play it all the time.

Eddie sang Black very briefly. It was an unannounced appearance.

Eddie Letterman. Haha!!

Guess it makes sense for him and paul shaffer to do black, given what has been going on, but it might be more apropos to play Goodbye.

I don't see him doing Black, but I guess it's possible if that's what Dave wants to hear. Who could turn him down?
Looking forward to Tom Waits tonight.

it will look pretty lame if he does a pearl jam song and the rest of the band isn't there.

The "some band" who did Zevon was the amazing Jason Isbell and his wife Amanda Shires.

Consequenceofsound.net makes good points re: recent guests playing the songs from their initial performance and the fact that 'Black' holds significance to the show, as it was part of Dave's "schtick" in the mid-90's. I'm sure it will be 'Black.'
From the blog: "Ed has performed on the show countless times over the last two decades, as a solo musician, with Pearl Jam, even accompanying The Who. In fact, Vedder’s first-ever appearance on the show, in February 1996, actually came as a surprise.
Letterman’s singing of the chorus to Pearl Jam’s “Black” became part of his nightly schtick — sort of like how he obsessively replayed Future Islands’ performance years later. Vedder eventually showed up to sing the song himself with the backing of Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra.
Vedder will reportedly perform again with Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra on Monday night. Based on recent appearances from Dave Matthews Band and Ryan Adams, which saw the artists revisit the songs they played for their initial Letterman appearances, one has to imagine Vedder will be there to sing “Black." Monday night’s episode will also feature Tom Hanks, who will be making his 60th (!) performance on the show. Bill Murray will stop by on Tuesday night for what is only his 44th appearance. No guests have been announced for Wednesday night’s finale, but CBS promises “an hour filled with surprises.”

Supercool Ed is one of the final musical guests.
