They both honoured each other at their respective Kennedy Center Honours in the most beautiful way possible. Two musical masters at their absolute best!
I Agree.
So beautifully said.And true...
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
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!
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.
Springsteen breakin' into a guitar solo--wow! There it is. All that emotion flooding the stage.
This is one of Sting's most moving songs. Bruce did it justice,
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
They should have an album of the Kennedy
Center Honors greatest performances.
I agree
I return to this song from time to time, especially when I have not lived up to my own standards - patience, integrity, kindness. When I fail those standards, I need a dose of "I Hung My Head." Of course, the poignant poetry of the stories, both universal and the personal, is soulfully brought to life by Springsteen's rendition.
I love that Sting sang a Springsteen song at his KC tribute and Bruce did this one for Sting - I just love that
I understand n do the same but also remember to be kind to yourself.
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.
This is absolutely astounding. His delivery is so sincere. Such conviction
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.
Explosive, honest, Dynamic. This is Rock School. This performance grabs your guts and twist them until you burst out in tears of joy and defiance. What a great, great song by Sting and performance by Springsteen. Wauw!
Well said
"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.
How come Bruce can do other people's songs better than they can? Talent that's why.
He's one of best...omygosh!!! ❤🐿🍀🌵
Bruce is no Johnny not even close..
I love how much Sting loved this. Bruce makes this song iconic
Both suffering of severe depression, very inspiring
Lovely talented Bruce, don't ever leave us hunging here without you... ❤
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!
The passion illustrated in the performance was second to none …. True musical genius
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.
Regan Traphagen I don’t think they don’t understand what real rock and roll is all about! There’s the BOSS honouring his best buddy STING! The same way he did the honour in 2009 to the BOSS!!! 👏 👏 👏
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.
They sang at each other's Kennedy Centre Honours and both used gospel choirs
Both unreal
Lol you are old 🤣 indeed my friend it was beautiful
Powerful with a stellar finish. The guitar solo and the choir coming in just made it soar to the heavens.
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.
ridiculously brilliant. Trudy's reaction at the end says it all.
Exactly my take. Loved how she reacted.
Absolutely stunning and moving version of this song. You feel the pain
Emotion in his eyes when he plays and sing....respect Bruce. From France ✌✌
The unearthly force of the Boss.
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
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!
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.
Now Ladies and Gents, this is what The Boss means.
Whenever I watch this video my spine tingles. And you can see the moments where Sting's lips are quivering and he appears to be fighting back tears watching how his friend reimagined his song and revealed an inner power and beauty that quite frankly Sting himself wasn't quite able to tap into (especially on the album version). Sting wrote a great song about a doomed man coming to terms with his actions, but Bruce inhabited that character and gave it life.
OMG Sting! What a song and Bruce gave it his all. That song moved Bruce as well.
The BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ❤
I love the original but this version is what this song should sound like! You can feel all of the emotions and that guitar solo, chefs kiss!
Bruce is a genius, I have always loved his music.
💪💪💪💪👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇭
What an amazing class. Tom Hanks, Lilly Tomlin and Springsteen. Wow!
Goosebumps man. I wish they had played longer
He owns that song, just like he does any song he puts his hands on.
He doesn't own it, he doesn't own any of them. He lives them, and that is the magic.
Johnny Cash did a great version too on American IV
@@jesseberg3271 I think you didn't understand the meaning of "owns" in this case....
and I totally agree with Nancy Klein... Bruce owned that song... this version of his is hands down a masterpiece!
@@gustavotozzo Don't think you understood what Jesse meant either. Said he lives them, in other words puts himself fully into the song. Think they just used to wrong words. :D But doesnt matter, point is, its a beautiful version.
Johnny owns this song
A great anthem against injustice.
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
Absolutely fantastic
The Boss is able to sing EVERY song
And the great thing is: He does (nearly)
Hey Bruce, please call Your boys and
come back to Europe soon
I will be there for sure
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
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.
Does this song make anyone else feel like crying, too?
Springsteen and Sting best singers in the world
LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE!! Bruce is so talented.
Best guitar solo for this song ever. Holy crap! If a guitar solo makes people wince and sway at the same time. You're on the Hendrix Train.
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!
Great, emotional version, and blistering lead guitar
You want the definition of masterpiece on a spiritual plain that can't be touched this is IT
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 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.
I wish he’d record this. Just amazing.
Sting’s lyrics have always gone deeper than just about any artist save for a very select few. Beautiful moment and honor.
You forget that this is live by how beautiful it sounds
breathtaking snipit of one legend honoring another. absolutely wonderful!
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.
Legend plays for legend!
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.
I am awestruck! The best of the best, Sting and Springsteen. xo to us fans in the US and UK. Springsteen 1984 in LA at the Colesium and Sting at the Wiltern the next year. Blessed.
I love that Sting and Springsteen honoured each other at the Kennedy Center Honors, means a lot. I honestly didn't know about Sting's fondness for tv westerns, which he shared with Tom Petty, a big fan of Glen Ford films in his youth. Fabulous event -- the other Kennedy Center event that really moved me was for Sidney Poitier; when Jesse Norman sang Amazing Grace he was in tears. Wow these great artists and all-round human beings!!! If ever I give in to self-pity it suffices to watch something like this and be inspired.
The most beautiful gift is the gift of friendship. They are their most beautiful gift to each other.
Io nn conosco uno più bravo di Bruce Springsteen 💯💯❤️
OMG geht komplett unter die Haut❣️
Excellent excellent video and song my brother i just hung my head ever loving songs from my brother thank you for this video brother
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
Emotions in his voice, face, body is so surreal.
What a great performance Boss
What a rendition! The emotion involved! Bruce puts absolutely everything into it!
Exceptional performance & tribute ! Two Icons of song writing & performing !
oh my god what an extraordinary performance...not much more you can say
Only one word to this: WOW!!!
Something Magical about the way The Boss sang this, that Guitar solo was heavenly!
Masterpiece! The boss is the boss...
A fitting tribute to one of music's true genuises. Johnny Cash had grit...he sang about real life. You can feel the pain in his lyrics, the fear, the struggle... life of a man fighting for good but seeing nothing but pain around him. My hats off to Springsteen for putting that grit and feeling into the song.
he did this song wonderful, such passion in his voice, and he is great on that guitar !!! good job Bruce !!!!
La empatia y la emoción de Bruce es fuera de este mundo. El mejor..
Love Sting... Love The Police..... But Bruce owns this...... Perfection.
I love this song
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 KRplus CHANNEL insight...
He does as the song was in his hands ! bravissimo Boss !
One legendary pergormance for another.
Both of them Bruce & Sting are my favourite singers & songwriters.
Wow. Just wow.
He has thoughtful attitude and the outraged guitar. I can only wish that Springsteen had sung the entire song. Sting does write terrific lyrics.
You can find a full version of this here on KRplus. Bruder did "I hung my head" first for Sting's 60th birthday show, and it is even better.
Super schön 🎶 ❤️ 🎶
❤️❤️Beautiful! Great performance! Thank you Bruce Springsteen!❤️❤️
Bruce absolutely nailed it
A LOT OF SONGS CAN'T BE DUPLICATED BUT WERE TALKING THE BOSS...HE WAS POSITIVELY FANTASTIC..
When this generation of performers and musicians retires, there are no followers.
That's what I am afraid of.
Yes but, there will still be the albums to listen to and dvds to watch so all is not lost.
True and sad.
i keep coming back.
Wow Bruce, you do everything awesome.? Always more impressive than the last song.!Thats why I love you! You sing with emotion !😂⭐️
It's a great performance. He's such a good singer.
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.
👏👏👏👏Uffff que pasada de actuación, pone los pelos de punta y la cara de Sting cantando en el palco no tiene precio.
No suelo comentar actuaciones musicales pero esta no me pude estar😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love the drummer! He's on every show. But, he kicks a**!
That's Kenny Aronoff. He's the drummer on John Mellencamp's 1985 album Scarecrow.
Sting and Bruce are best friends forever!
