Backed by Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra, Vedder delivered an intense performance of Pearl Jam's 1994 track, "Better Man", as a send-off to the host ahead of his final broadcast on Wednesday, May 20 after more than three decades in late night television.

Vedder broke a guitar string in mid-song on the track, which appeared on the group's third album, "Vitalogy." Pearl Jam are currently on a break from their world tour in support of 2014's "Lightning Bolt."
