The Beastie Boys Perform ‘Ch-Check It Out’ From the Subway to the ‘Letterman’ Stage in 2004

During a 2004 appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the Beastie Boys exited the subway in New York City singing their new single “Ch-Check It Out”. They made their way down Broadway and into the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the show took place. They finally concluded at David Letterman‘s onstage desk.

Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D. make a classic New York entrance to perform their hit from “To The 5 Boroughs.”

A decade earlier, the band performed “Sabotage” on Letterman.
