In 2015, when Stephen Colbert was taking over The Late Show from David Letterman, someone from his team put out an invite: Pavement, who had not performed together since their 2010 reunion tour, should get back together to help inaugurate the new Colbert show. Pavement member Bob Nastanovich talked about the tentative plan on a podcast back then, but it never came to pass. Another Pavement reunion did occur eventually, starting in 2022 and continuing through some limited engagements late last year. And now, a decade after that initial invite, Pavement have finally played Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.
