  • Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder performs "My City of Ruins" for 2009 Honoree Bruce Springsteen, who wrote the song in 2000. In 2010, pearljam.com announced that Eddie Vedder's cover of "My City of Ruins" would be available on iTunes to raise funds for Haiti earthquake disaster relief efforts. The song entered the Hot 100 the following month, peaking at #92.
    The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.

I love this version though , because you can see the depth Eddie sings with , and the emotion that Bruce receives the honor of him performing this Masterpiece he wrote when his hometown of Asbury Park New Jersey was literally in ruins . The pain of the lyrics showing on Bruce's face are Priceless . It was like he could see the actual city he wrote about all over again ☮️

    So, two things. First, I absolutely love this. Second, it's not the complete version Eddie sang on stage that night. There's an audio recording of this that Eddie released for charity, and the song is about 30 to 45 seconds longer. Whatever TV station broadcast this cut out parts of his performance to save time for ... what? Another commercial? Oh, wait, sorry. It's all about money. I forgot.

    • @kevinw712
      @kevinw712 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you mean the performed song was cut short in the actual original television broadcast of this event, or this particular youtube clip here is shortened from what was first broadcast?
      because if it's the second scenario, I highly doubt that's somehow much of a financial decision. Although there also are a number of different possible reasons for the editing down of an individual performance for a finished broadcast piece aside from simply wanting to cram in more ad space. It could very well be that, the money, they also could've had some manner of camera equipment glitch during the song leaving them unable to maintain clean visuals the whole way. You still get Eddie releasing clean full audio, but video's fucked. Plus a producer has a whole slew of talented acts all wanting to fit into the same broadcast, even if you're keeping the same original commercial time, you just do little nips and splices wherever you can to make it as fair to everyone as possible. Granted, I have no idea if any other performer's times from the night got cut for broadcast in addition to Eddie. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were.
