I love this song, powerful performance as always from Sting, and great support from the orchestra and the attractive lady at his side (Unsure of her name) , they all pull together so well you can feel the strength and devotion in their performance..... love it!
You know what I like best? This song's lyrics originally read 'I kept on running/Into the salt lands' - Johnny Cash's version changed it to 'south lands', and Sting keeps the alteration here. It's like he's saluting Cash.
Bruce Springsteen is ear bleeding torture but Johnny Cash nailed it. Stringbeen is lefty nut bag and a repulsive musician and person in my opinion but to each his own.
Sting is a GREAT singer-songwriter. Quite original & consistent. Johnny Cash is a legend in the industry. Listen to Sting as he speaks about Cash having covered his song. Sting felt vindicated. Comparisons? There are none. Cash, Presley, Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins -- you'll never see the likes of them again. Talk about careers that lasted a long time & influenced generations of musicians. Sting is only someone who can follow. Sting's version is excellent. Cash made it timeless.
Я снова открыла для себя песню Sting. Этот так близко к моему состоянию, когда твое " случайное или мимолетное" может изменить твою жизнь. Я написала такой сложный текст по-русски. Мне сложно перевести эту мысль на английский язык.
IMHO, fantastic rendition of a Sting song that I always enjoyed. The orchestral arrangement is a nice touch. Didn't know Cash covered it til I watched this clip, don't think the JC version is any better or worse but simply different as you'd expect these two artists' takes on the same song to be.
Enough already, both versions are gorgeous. I just love this version - beautifully orchestrated and lovely time sig - an English version of a cowboy song.
The original version is always best......one exception.......Johnny cash.........anyway, I love both artists......without sting, we wouldn't have the the cash version, which if anyone hasn't heard it...it'll make u weep........love you sting........love you cash(!)(!)
Fantastic! Debate as to who's version is best always ensues whenever the song is heard . . . Sting or Cash? Fact is, it's neither. Listen to Springsteen's.
I concur with those who say this is better than the original..Good version this..the orchestra adds to the overall feel of the song..the original was a bit too loud..though both the versions are on the louder side, this version personally is relatively more soothing..
Howdy This was nothing less than Spectacular a sheer Masterpiece my only question is this who are the 6 trolls who came out from under their Bridge an clicked the thumbs down Fantastic Thanks for sharing this wonderful work of art Stay Cool Rich
The Boss said by himself during an Interview, that he had to make it fit to 4/4 from 9/8 that he was able to play it properly... I love Springsteen, but Sting is the better Musician.
Whose version's better, you say? For me the point is: with a whole orchestra and big dvd production, how the hell they decided to use that guy on a lame keyboard right behind Miller, instead of hiring a nice pianist with a real tail piano? "Hey Gordon, we've forgot to buy a piano! And there's this keyboard player that comes with the orchestra. What shall we do with him?" "Put him on the fuc*ing keyboard. And place him right behind Dominic, so that the whole world knows how cheap I can be", said the man who makes you pay for the honor of collecting grapes for him, in his wineyard in Italy. Apart from this, I love this song.
Is this song in 9/8? It’s not grouped in triples so I guess it is more correctly 9/4. It it’s crazy. First measure downbeats. Second measure up beats. Right?
Well, that is the idea of having an orchestra to provide backing. And this is coming from a frequent orchestral player. I mean, isn't that the whole idea behind a concerto, or in this case a solo performer with instrumental backing?
Oh my god this is truly appalling...?! A simple song about something so raw and tragic....cannot be orchestrated into a Disney-safe piece of plastic trash. Yes I know he wrote it - that just makes it worse!!
whoever arranged this for the orchestra is an absolute genius
Bruce Springsteen does an authentic live cover at the Kennedy Center Awards honoring Sting!!
The song has peaked. This is the best version. Gorgeous arrangement and performance
Springsteen's version at The Beacon Theatre is shit hot crazy good.
Ten koncert to mistrzostwo świata, najlepszy koncert Stinga.❤
@@Eeza07Springsteen Kennedy Center is this song at the PEAK of its POWERS!
Stunning. Sting is a genius.
I do cry when I listen to this. It reminds me of how everything can come crashing down in a second and how I need to live life and be grateful.
I saw this masterpiece and I held my head high.
I love this song, powerful performance as always from Sting, and great support from the orchestra and the attractive lady at his side (Unsure of her name) , they all pull together so well you can feel the strength and devotion in their performance..... love it!
nah..sting put this song to another level. still respected his nine rythm and sang it relaxed. Sting wins!!
This is one of the greatest performances of a masterpiece by a true master at the top of his form.
i really love the beautiful 9/8 rythm
Hahaha Damn you sting! A country song in 9/8. Brilliant!
More like 9/4
god bless sting
So fantastic
Good thing Cash covered this song for him.
Wooh... Woooohh... It's just best version i ever heard
Stunning.
You know what I like best? This song's lyrics originally read 'I kept on running/Into the salt lands' - Johnny Cash's version changed it to 'south lands', and Sting keeps the alteration here. It's like he's saluting Cash.
I know this is an 11 year old comment, but he definitely says salt lands here
A fine song and sung as a tribute by Bruce Springsteen during Sting's Kennedy Center Honors.
Bruce Springsteen is ear bleeding torture but Johnny Cash nailed it. Stringbeen is lefty nut bag and a repulsive musician and person in my opinion but to each his own.
I see a few drummers and percussion musicians. Such a moving piece
Love Sting & J.C.! 🔥
4:55 just blows my mind! Thanks Sting!

Sting's career....Close to 50 years and counting...
Sting is a Master/Maestro.. Has been since 1983.
I don't know which version I like more. This is fantastic!
My favorite Sting song Second Only to Every Move You Make!!!
Crazy, cus that's not even the name of the song!

My song !!! Just luvit !!! 💜💜💜

Sweet sounding Maton!!! Great song!
Perfect performance
This is a good song. No matter who plays it.
That was Outrageously beautiful
Enough already, both versions are gorgeous. I just love this version - beautifully orchestrated and lovely time sig - an English version of a cowboy song.
The lyrics are epic.
The cash version is so much better it's hard to believe. And I speak as a huge sting fan.
Agreed. But with one exception. Imho Sting sings these lines 2:25 4:40 way better than JR.
***** Why can't someone have an opinion without you making it something gay.
***** LOL. You really suck at insulting people.
*****
xD
wutefuck this is hillarious
Bible Believer
funny your tounge is stripped gues you have no right to speak as a bible fan lol
Just hearing Stings version for the first time. Johnny sure made it sound like his own. But, wow, this is awesome. What a great song.
Sting t'es un amour
Gotta hand it to Sting, he manages to suck the soul out of whatever song he's playing, no matter how well written or atmospheric.
Still working on playing it in 9/8 time on the drums. A very unusual song!
fantastic...sting...
Just awesome.
Beautiful
yes- very beautiful.
oh man, that harmonica.... goosebumps...
well more like entire song = goosebumps but anyway
anybody else really enjoy watching the conductor at 4:54? :p
We saw him in MPLS MN. Great performance.
um dos melhores músicos...indescritível ...
I don't know who the female support singer is, but she is stunningly beautiful.
Her name is Jo Lawry.
The original version is always best......one exception.......Johnny cash.........anyway, I love both artists......without sting, we wouldn't have the the cash version, which if anyone hasn't heard it...it'll make u weep........love you sting........love you cash(!)(!)
Masterpiece
superb
I wish so bad I'd been at this concert..!
spine tingling
Love it!!
Fantastic! Debate as to who's version is best always ensues whenever the song is heard . . . Sting or Cash? Fact is, it's neither. Listen to Springsteen's.
True
+MartinBlanford Watch springsteens version!!! You'll forget this one..
Carson Mckee has a great version.
I agree!
Springsteen it s truly a gunsmoke song from the far west
I concur with those who say this is better than the original..Good version this..the orchestra adds to the overall feel of the song..the original was a bit too loud..though both the versions are on the louder side, this version personally is relatively more soothing..
a whole orchestra on 9/8 time. Tricky.
Orchesta, fabolous idea
Howdy This was nothing less than Spectacular
a sheer Masterpiece
my only question is this
who are the 6 trolls who came out from under their Bridge an clicked the thumbs down
Fantastic
Thanks for sharing this wonderful work of art
Stay Cool
Rich
sentimento puro...
R.I.P. Johnny Cash
The percussionist at 5:03
Sting....como lo hace, es sencillamente comparado con algo celestial.
I like Cash's version, you can feel the feelings by his singing
The boss makes a master piece of this... Sting did well writing it, but it was meant to be sang by the Boss Springsteen for sure
The Boss said by himself during an Interview, that he had to make it fit to 4/4 from 9/8 that he was able to play it properly... I love Springsteen, but Sting is the better Musician.

Apart from this, I love this song.
Esto aquí con mi cena por desgracia debo de hacer lo que me diga mí oncóloga.paco de ci❤
Kiss had an orchestra as well.
Shout out to John Travolta losing it drumming at 5:04
Sting wrote this. If you listen to Sting, he says so
Way much much better that song dont need all those instruments it takes away the entire song!!
Sting is an awesome singer song writer but I like how cash's version sounds I think its actually how sting wanted it to sound wgen he wrote it
Beautiful song. Did anyone else feel like the irchestra overpowered Sting's voice at times?
I like Johnny's version more... But this one is AMAZING...
No shit I thought cash wrote this. Well it's a great song played both ways
*Both versions are amazing but Ilike Cash's version more as it has so much gritty sorrow in his voice... a ma who knew he was dying soon*
No, I think Bruce Springsteen did a super job at this song. Sorry Sting but Bruce nailed it! Much love the canuck
You tell him Dio!
Johnny Cash's Cover is the best;)
That's it. I think J.Cash version rocks.
ab 1 minute und 20 sekunden wirds gut
Is this song in 9/8? It’s not grouped in triples so I guess it is more correctly 9/4. It it’s crazy. First measure downbeats. Second measure up beats. Right?
Does anyone know what kind of mic he uses?
who disliked this?
why
Johnny Cash made this song great.
I admire-sting for writing this great song but give me the johnny cash version less is more
Well, that is the idea of having an orchestra to provide backing. And this is coming from a frequent orchestral player.
I mean, isn't that the whole idea behind a concerto, or in this case a solo performer with instrumental backing?
August
I agree, but there is just one problem, it was a cover.. sting wrote this. great song . either way
Johnny Cash remade it with a feeling that sting can´t deliver!
Johnny Cash blew it out the water
who's the blonde woman?
It’s not your song anymore. Respect.
remade it? lol im pretty sure its Johnny Cash's song
The orchestra does nothing for this great song
Johnny who?
Oh my god this is truly appalling...?! A simple song about something so raw and tragic....cannot be orchestrated into a Disney-safe piece of plastic trash.
Yes I know he wrote it - that just makes it worse!!
I pity you.
Dude i commented on this video 2 months ago i think your a bit late to insult me LOL
The horns and orchestra distract from the simple beauty of the lyrics. The song, alone, with Sting singing and maybe a guitar would have been better.
This is pure Art, sting is an excellent artist. Enjoy, many other Versions of this piece of art exist.
Posiblemente
No, more brass is more better.
