After getting banned from the network nearly 30 years ago, gave its first live performance on NBC on Tuesday. In 1986, the rock band was banned from the network for an infamous drunken performance on “Saturday Night Live.” On Tuesday, the band played “Alex Chilton” on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
“Our next guests are a massively beloved and influential rock band who are in the midst of their first tour since 1991,” Fallon said, introducing what was also the band’s first TV appearance in 25 years.
If that wasn’t cool enough, another massively influential rocker was on the show Tuesday night. Keith Richards stopped in to chat about his new children’s book, “Gus & Me.”
