Beastie Boys

In November 2004, when the Beastie Boys made their appearance on "Late Night with Conan O’Brien," they were riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, *To the 5 Boroughs*, which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant return for the group after a hiatus, showing that they'd stayed true to their roots while embracing a matured sound. Interestingly, *To the 5 Boroughs* resonated deeply with fans, partly due to its homage to New York City, reflecting their iconic status and love for their hometown. During the Conan interview, the boys humorously recounted their unconventional tour experience, which even included a dog show as part of their opening act—a quirky twist that perfectly encapsulates their playful approach to music and performance. This mix of audacity and loyalty to their origins truly shone through in that memorable late-night appearance!
