I love the scream! He really lets go on that performance. It's really only the first couple seconds where it breaks into a scream, after that it comes more under control like on the album. On the album version, the strings are by our mutual fave Andrew Bird, who contributes his violin (and other stringed instruments) and whistling skills on a few songs. Those Boston Pops players really made it a striking performance on Letterman. Fun seeing everyone in tuxes, especially when they really get rocking!
