On April 10, 1994, the Beastie Boys performed "Sabotage" on "The Late Show with David Letterman," a highlight during their promotion of the album *Ill Communication*, which was released shortly after, on May 31, 1994.

On August 4, 1994, the Beastie Boys performed their iconic track "Sabotage" on the "Late Show with David Letterman," a significant milestone during the promotion of their fifth studio album, "Ill Communication." Released just a few weeks prior, on May 31, 1994, this album marked a pivotal shift in their sound, incorporating elements of punk, funk, and hip-hop, while showcasing their maturation as artists. Notably, "Ill Communication" features the popular singles "Sabotage" and "Sure Shot," which illustrated their innovative approach to music in contrast to their early work. The performance itself was memorable for its high energy, exemplifying the band’s dynamic stage presence, and "Sabotage" has since become one of their most celebrated songs, often associated with the group’s legacy in bridging multiple genres. The appearance on Letterman's show was instrumental in further establishing their popularity in the 1990s, showcasing the fusion of hip-hop with mainstream rock audiences.
