Pearl Jam will continue to celebrate their 20th anniversary tonight with the first of two appearances this week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Since the guys aren't promoting a new release, there's no telling what they might play. Though it seems safe to guess that they'll pull out at least one big classic hit, the odds are good that they'll dust off a deep cut or a cover song, possibly as a web exclusive.

Foo Fighters - Conan, TBS 11:00 p.m.

John Doe - Late Night with David Letterman, CBS 11:35 p.m

Tinie Tempah - Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC 11:35 p.m.

Pearl Jam - Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NBC 12:35 a.m.

Song Stories

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
