The break in his voice on "the horse kept running" is an articulation of pain and sorrow and confusion and surprise that is so exposed and raw that it just destroys me every time i watch this.
This is a great comment. I went back to that point after reading this, and it's true.
This has been on replay. Amazing
Springsteen’s voice is so affected. Don’t read so much into it. Cringe af
@@UnbelievablyGaucheI’m a Springsteen fan but you’ll find many die hard Bruce fans are cringe af
Honestly, is there nothing this man can't do. He puts his whole heart and soul into everything he does. The passion and soul he puts into every song he sings. He really is the best.🎼♥️🇦🇺♥️🇺🇸🎆💯%.
Even the sky is not the limit for the Boss!
I don't think I've ever been so drawn in by a performance like this. I feel like I'm living and breathing the song.
mistyblueeyes the power of Bruce
The moment at about 2:29 where Bruce and Sting both have their eyes shut, feeling the music, is so powerful it almost makes me cry every time I watch this.
Omg… I thought the same thing…
Thank you SO MUCH for catching that AND pointing it out!!!!! I double tapped to the left (10 seconds) for about 10 minutes... The silence in the song too at that moment. Chills!!!
Me too. Sure!
Love Sting. But this is just so....out of this world...good
Daring to to go for a four-quarter time and loading it with extraversion.....:-)
Listen to Johnny cash’s version
Cash’s version is cool.
Thing is, Sting’s version is better because Cash & Springsteen change it from the original time signature.
The original has a changing signature, 4/4 - 3/5 - 4/4 - 3/4 - 4/4 to give it a more of a “skip” movement.
Cash’s version is second because it is like an old man looking back at his past. This is trashy. You can see Sting’s face change at the “solo” moment because it doesn’t fit AT all.
@@AngelicusImmortus I know nothing about that. To me, Bruce lives and and breathe the song - like he own's it. He gives It a presence like something is about to explode. Sometimes a song is also about expression and attitude !!! What you say about Sting is just like your opinion. I don't think it's true. Look up the other version om yt that Springsteen does.
@@AngelicusImmortus Yes, but no - not really.
"I'm the President, not the boss, that's Bruce Springsteen." - President Obama
Venkata Putta you got it wrong too bud
Obama used to attend at least some of these events. Did Trump ever show up?
laoluu trump 🥴😤😤
@@laoluu nope...thank God his present would dampening the souls
@Venkata Putta more like if he shows up no one else will.
loved watching Sting's tribute to Bruce just a few minutes ago, and now this one awesome!
yes!!!!!!!
Done just that 👍
Same here! Algorithmus works fine lol
Seeing Stings face shows everything. A great Song, performed by the greatest Performer of all times. What an Experience !!
👍👍👌👌💪✊❤️🍀🇨🇭🇨🇭
And Trudy really responded positively at the end, as well.
OMG Sting! What a song and Bruce gave it his all. That song moved Bruce as well.
Now Ladies and Gents, this is what The Boss means.
I just watched Sting's KC performance for Bruce and what I found distracting was that Sting didn't know the words so he was constantly looking down at the teleprompters. Bruce doesn't even seem to have any. He looks straight into the camera and at Sting. So much more convincing. It does make a difference.
To be fair, The Rising has much more complex lyrics.
No pulled punches here . Bruce goes full throttle .
How are there 89 people who dislike this? This is the physical embodiment of rock and roll.
People suck sometimes.. their loss
@@flpuckbunny1057
You nailed it!!
Could be because Johnny Cash made the song famous. Some people can't handle great music.
They got lost on their way to xfactor.
Obviously Trump supporters and he wasn’t even a threat then. I actually think this song suits Bruce’s voice more. Great version
Johnny Cash, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, all performed this awesome song, just the lyrics perspective are amazing itself
Honestly I can't pick a favorite. All three are so different so so well done!
Absolutely stunning and moving version of this song. You feel the pain
Bruce made me cry with just a guitar solo and so much more. Truly what I look up to. Someone who can bring people and music to life.
Powerful with a stellar finish. The guitar solo and the choir coming in just made it soar to the heavens.
The unearthly force of the Boss.
Proof Bruce is the Boss, he takes a song to another level. Even Sting knew that when he walked on, and he started clapping!
Johnny Cash. Bruce Springsteen guitar is mediocre at most.
Love Sting... Love The Police..... But Bruce owns this...... Perfection.
Does this song make anyone else feel like crying, too?
Every time.
The most beautiful gift is the gift of friendship. They are their most beautiful gift to each other.
Great, emotional version, and blistering lead guitar
LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE!! Bruce is so talented.
This is absolutely astounding. His delivery is so sincere. Such conviction
Phenomenal! Such a great tribute to Sting...seems they are good buddies...also loved their live concert collaboration in Every Breath You Take which is just brilliant too!
I'm speechless!!! Incredible!!! Sensational!! What a power of man, singer and performance! Like forces ob nature!!! OMG!!! Thank you, Mr Bruce Springsteen, the only B O S S. Love
Never one of my favorite Sting songs until now.
Johnny Cash recorded a definitive version of this song that is tremendous.
@@sugarnap245 And... Gordon Sumner is Sting...
@@bilbobaggins3464 I should have known! Haha whoops
A great anthem against injustice.
What an amazing class. Tom Hanks, Lilly Tomlin and Springsteen. Wow!
breathtaking snipit of one legend honoring another. absolutely wonderful!
I wish he’d record this. Just amazing.
Both of them Bruce & Sting are my favourite singers & songwriters.
The BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ❤
WTF. Wasn’t expecting that. What a performance. The Boss kicked it out of the stadium!
Wouldn't that be a bad thing?...to kick the ball out of the stadium? No points are scored -plus..delay of game.
@@bossfan49 the phrase comes from baseball where if the batter knocks the ball out of the park essentially means he secured a home run.
@@sippy1sippy Yes...in baseball its a good thing, ("knocked it out of the park" is the phrase) but not in any other sport. And since you don't kick a baseball.....
In Rugby or Gaelic football you can score by kicking the ball over the crossbar. If you kick it so powerfully that it continues out of the stadium then you’ve...kicked it out of the...
It all depends on where you live and what sports you follow.
What a piece of music! An articulate, communication of a life’s message. Bruce’s performance transforms the words to the highest level. Absolutely a gifted and special performer living the lyrics.
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏✊🇨🇭
A few years before this Sting sang The Rising at a tribute for Bruce Springsteen in the presence of Michelle and Barack Obama with a full choir and that was great, but when The Boss returned the favour, he created magic and took the Sting song to a transcendent level. Incredible performance
A beautiful and very dark song that is so powerful and performed by a master. The guitar solo speaks of the cascade of emotions the shooter would have felt.
Brillant Song, brillant Interpretation. Bruce Springsteen and Sting...two Legends !!
You want the definition of masterpiece on a spiritual plain that can't be touched this is IT
Sting’s lyrics have always gone deeper than just about any artist save for a very select few. Beautiful moment and honor.
The way he unzipped that song at the seams and slithered inside it with such ease will never cease to amaze me. That was a masterclass.
Springsteen and Sting best singers in the world
Grand merci pour le partage ! "to BRUCE" : rendre le monde meilleur et tolérable en écoutant Bruce Springsteen & ESB
!!! They have been with me since 1978 - I am grateful for this long road with us, they have never let me down - Many thanks to Bruce for his genius and integrity - Ils accompagnent ma vie depuis 1978 - Je suis reconnaissante pour ce long voyage avec nous, ils ne m'ont jamais déçue - Mille mercis à Bruce pour son génie et son intégrité
La empatia y la emoción de Bruce es fuera de este mundo. El mejor..
It’s more a Bruce song than A Sting song. It just is!
Fan of both but Cash did it best
what I see here is a desperate Bruce suffering from depression, one of the phases, and giving it all, fighting this depression, going on stage though he might have fears, and then deliver what he did: an incredible sound performance, singing his heart out for his friend; and beating it with his guitar solo! - Depression is a disease which affects ap. 10% of all people. No thing to be ashamed of. - Bruce described it in his Autobiography. - I honor the man not only because of his music, but also for his will to life, to play against that illness. Love.
Exceptional performance & tribute ! Two Icons of song writing & performing !
It's a great performance. He's such a good singer.
Such a beautiful song. Springsteen's is my favorite version. He projects so much pain, regret, and grief in his voice. Amazing performance.
Legend plays for legend!
He does as the song was in his hands ! bravissimo Boss !
Lovely talented Bruce, don't ever leave us hunging here without you... ❤
What a rendition! The emotion involved! Bruce puts absolutely everything into it!
I never heard this song before. But wow. Poetry sung like a confession. Perfection.
Bruce did good but in my opinion Johnny Cash's version is better
Ya, johnnys is way smoother
@Judi: If you want to hear the poetic confessions of a condemned man, listen to Johnny Cash's version of this song.
I always thought this song could have been Springsteen. And lo and behold.....
I recall and had taped this performance honoring Sting, but I cannot remember if I got this song. I heard it in the past two years and I loved it. Both Sting and Bruce do it wonderful, but Johnny Cash does in in his Cash Style. It is clearly a song Johnny Cash does. Love all three versions.
Something Magical about the way The Boss sang this, that Guitar solo was heavenly!
Bruce Springsteen did a great tribute to Sting, two of my favourite singers love them both xx
Bruce absolutely nailed it
A LOT OF SONGS CAN'T BE DUPLICATED BUT WERE TALKING THE BOSS...HE WAS POSITIVELY FANTASTIC..
I wish he would have covered this and put in on Nebraska. It would fit amazing on that album
That would have been difficult since "I Hung My Head" came out more than a decade after Nebraska, but yes, it would have fit musically and thematically.
@@toolboxtraining right. Still cool!
Emotions in his voice, face, body is so surreal.
❤️❤️Beautiful! Great performance! Thank you Bruce Springsteen!❤️❤️
Sting and Bruce are best friends forever!
Grande Bruce Springsteen 💘
It's pleasure to see the mutual love and respect.
Best song ever ,Boss can that
i hear this song ever
Thanks for the love and support . I decided to take out time today out of my busy schedule to get close to my fans and know their thoughts towards my career and I came across you through my official TH-cam CHANNEL insight...
What a finish 2:45 brilliant goosebomps
What a great performance Boss
Wow, Bruce bist Du Super.Danke .Ich liebe Dich.❤🎸🎶🌹🦋
I love this song
Bruce did good !!!
And Sting is happy !!!
This song is good to listen to for depression
There's something haunting about this particular arrangement. Whew..
AGREED! I would buy an album/compilation of these performances!!
Tears in stings eyes tbh I think he loved it🇬🇧👍
This song resonates with in me, my brother's rifle/shotgun went off in my Dad's hand. As my Dad committed suicide, 1966. Me & my twin sister aged 12, little brother 10. "AND I HUNG MY HEAD" !
A great song written by Sting, one of the world's best musicians covered by 2 equally incredible musicians. Here's Bruce, the other version I'm talking about from the unforgettable Johnny Cash. All three versions are fantastic in their own way.
"Yes..yes"
6 months later still a fantastic cover!!
Love how Tom Hanks is so into it👌
It feels like a Bruce song. Great version of a great song.
Although I'm gonna say Sting sings it like he wrote it. More feelings!
Is there anything Bruce does not make his own!?
Sting is a very Goodman a very good performer and deserves all the honors fron sparkly Bruce .
Great performance
Love this so much…powerful and sung with such conviction. Absolutely one of my favorites!
OMG geht komplett unter die Haut❣️
" THE BOSS " !
What a song
Icon of rock.Briliant.
My favorite sax solo
Ohhhh Bruce!genioooo
Sting is one of my favorite Singer, Song writer and Musician. Usually when other singers cover a Sting song it's still not as good as Sting's version, but not in this case. It's as if this song was made for Bruce. He did an AWESOME job!!
Cash did some incredible Springsteen covers like "Johnny 99." I think Cash covered something like a dozen of Bruce's tracks. Cash was very special. "Highway Patrolman" was another special one.....a song so powerful that Sean Penn turned the storyline into a major Hollywood flick called the "Indian Runner."
@@MattSmith-iq1ld , your dead right mate , Cash has done some terrific covers , including Tom Petty s classic, I won’t back down
I would've thought Bruce wrote this song. It's excellent!!!
Definitely feels like a Bruce song
Gregory Porter's 'It's probably me' is awesome, too.
Most of the crowd have never heard this song before. You can just tell. Especially Tom Hanks.
One of my favorite Sting songs
You forget that this is live by how beautiful it sounds
Sting
The Truest Officer
The way you did you got it brother!
