Bruce Springsteen - Chimes Of Freedom [ Live! ]

[UltraLiteSpeed1]

This is what the American Spirit really is about.....

Its about the People who make up this Country..

Not the politics at all......

[degree7]

@UltraLiteSpeed1

Not to rain on your parade, but three of these singers aren't even American, and this song is more about a worldview of the downtrodden than just that of America.

[autie1967]

Simplemente genial ¡¡¡¡

[jeffs666]

Great song. Great singers. I've always loved Bruce's version of this, but Tracy Chapman sounded fantastic.

[whimsy122]

Amazing lyrics and performance.

[whimsy122]

What a song and what a group singing it. Happy Passover everybody!

[Justice4Lennon]

Utterly beautiful!

Peace & Freedom to you all, it's there for the taking....if we really want it!

[Thereisonlythemoment]

Written by Dylan and covered by The Byrds, but this is a great cover by a very talented line up. This song is an Anthem for the disenfranchised and ill at ease souls who question their Place in the scheme of the things. A masterpiece by Dylan. Great Post.

[gsmakin]

really wish Tracy Chapman had done a complete cover of this.

[yann82334]

eternal...

[twosimon89]

youssou ndour senegalese ambassador

[greenylespaul]

Nice version, similar to The Byrds great version.

[bernyparis]

I dedicated it today to the Palestinian people.

[TruthinFilm]

@bernyparis there is no such thing as 'Palestinians'. That is just a name given to a group of Arabs in 1964 to give them some sort of legitimacy

[gsmakin]

@TruthinFilm Yes of course. If only you had a time capsule you could go back to 1963 and tell all these people just how illegitimate you find them.

[TruthinFilm]

@gsmakin LOL

You are a sheep

[bmarx01]

@TruthinFilm try 1948; please strive for historical accuracy

[aminahyaquin]

SUBLIME

[Martjie100]

Absolutely wonderful!

[metromio]

Saw these guys on hot October, Zimbabwe late 1980s. Amazing, but how sad and how different things are now. Hows about a reunion concert to shine a light on whats happening there!

[kclewis101]

@metromio I was there too. It was a sublime concert. Rode in a bus from Wits University for 28 hours almost non stop to get there.

[BobbyA1985]

Long Live Bob Dylan

[flevobirdy]

[flevobirdy]

[locojomo123]

I LOVE BRUCE!!

i saw him in concert about a month agoo, he was AMAZINGG

best comcert ive ever been to! :D

[jennensis]

simply the most moving song I have ever heard!!

[waterloo2003]

first verse out of lips of Tracy Chapman tears evaporated all over my face...good old days of 80's while pop shed the only beam of light to life...keep rocking you beautiful people and your smiles are shining forever in memory of our generation...flashing forever..so brilliant, so unforgettable..

[molly23gud]

i rember sting slagging Bruce off pre 88 !! Changed his mind pretty damn quickly after meeting him !! He'd been BROOOCCEEDD !!!!!

[Rinu0]

I would pay a hundred billion dollar for a copy of this whole concert.

[flevobirdy]

GREAt!!!  WHAT A VOICE have youssou n, dour!!!!

[jdxmas1]

Have watched this endlessly. Real magic, apart from Sting! That oh so brief combination of Tracy and Bruce is wonderful, and the piano...!

[ivpivivpiv]

To rockchick80s:

Come on! Dylan at Newport 1964...So much Dylan, Byrds were covering his songs with better vocal.

Via Bob Dylan!

[rockchick80s]

ivpivivpiv - Thanks for that l. I checked your channel - so you know your stuff. lol

[rockchick80s]

Always thought it was the Byrds song first and foremost but forgot its Dylans. What an amzing line up of talent. "For the Confused, Accused, Misused ,Strung-Out Ones and Worse" - most human beings can recognise themselves somewhere in that line.

[SamuraiFT]

Peter Carajo!!!

[bigbaywww]

C'est un bijou!

This is a jewel!

[yosefflumeri]

who is the black man¿?

[mouhamed80]

Youssou ndour from SENEGAL

[ivcabco]

Tracy Chapman

[sexycarln]

Horrible version of a great song. I love the boss, but what's up with Coco B Ware?

[borntorun015]

simply breathtaking. bruce you rock

[NewSoundMagazine]

WOW!!

[JGL71]

God, Springseen, Tracy Chapman, Yousou'n dour, Peter Gabriel, Sting, what a dream team

[briantedds]

I went to the amnesty gig at wembley in sept 1988, it was stunning

[Nanosaur12]

good

[richintalent]

That Verse about 'Each and ev'ry gentle soul trapped inside a jail' should be changed to read 'And for each and ev'ry Muslim soul in Abu Gharib jail'

[flauw]

gtfo my youtube

[richintalent]

i won't even dignify that with a response- I don't see YOUR name on it, pally-boy.

[trvr3]

no- it should read "and for every marine who gave their life so assholes like you could be free to say the shit you say..."

[exackerly]

Absolutely. This song will always be relevant unfortunately...

[Manicpanicanticant]

sting sings like hes tryin' to caff up his lungs :/

[XRaylroad]

Man, I like this song so much. One of the best things Dylan has ever written.

And the piano part is just amazing.

[locojomo123]

Stunning-what an ouststanding song for the inaugaration

[charliebrockett]

Doesn't get any beter than this.

I shall use all of my connections to try to get this played at President-Elect Obama's inaugaration ceremony.

This line -up blew me away

[ZimmieD]

Well, charlie, this song was sung by Dylan himself at the inaugaration ceremony of Clinton in 1993 after the Reagan regime. This land is your land wasn't to bad either, this time?!

[richintalent]

This was for Amnesty International, correct?

[guendel3]

hey youssou you adapted well to the song

[immortaltech3]

133333333333

[dsteding]

Timeless and inspiring... a true statement of equality, honesty, and artistry: rolled into a 5 minute thrill!

[rrossa68]

fantastic...simply fantastic

:-)

[rageagainstem]

great performance, but the 3. singer couldnt know the lyrics off by heart.. shame

[biaye2001]

Waw good job Youssou!! Thx to all the team great song

[cybercinglet]

He is the boss

[MyPoopShoot]

I can't believe more people haven't watched this.

It's a singular moment in time worthy of reflection!!

[Effemzik02]

Freshness brought by Youssou Ndour to this session. Thanks Nagadef !

[krisnebroso]

Absolute quality!! Excellet video. Enjoyed Gabriels's performance most. Although Tracy Chapman definitely put some real emotion into her performance too. ;-)
