Bob Dylan closed the penultimate Late Show With David Letterman last night (May 19), performing “The Night We Called It A Day” from his album of Frank Sinatra covers, Shadows In The Night.

The performance was Dylan’s first appearance on Letterman’s show since 1993, when he played “Forever Young”, originally released on Planet Waves 20 years before.
