@cathrasher1974 I hope you realize who Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen are. I won't resort to ad hominem arguments here, but post your drivel elsewhere. Have you ever listened to either Eddie's or Bruce's lyrics?
this was such a moving rendition of my city of ruins!! bravo eddie! did anyone else notice that bruce got a total of 7 performances that night, its more then any other.kennedy center honoree that ive seen, and bruce deserves them all!! no other artist has impacted my life the way bruce springsteen has!! to quote jon stewart " bruce doesnt just sing he testifies "
Listening to this song reminds me when Bruce, during a concert in Rome ( I've been there !), dedicated it to the people of L'Aquila, the city where I was born and I currently live in, which was struck by a damned earthquake on 2009 that destroyed almost everything, killed many people and injured many others.
So, hearing Eddie playing it, for me it is another proof of the greatness of this artist
Bruce had 2 b so honored the way Ed put the song together,.. N perfect vocals, especially at the end on the high notes,.. Bruce sed it was his fav,...
I almost think Bruce was saying "thats your song now" at the end, but the camera only catches the end of it. He said the same thing about Patti Smith when she did "Because the Night".
I pray for divine love to wash over your heart and soul and fill you with new hope,renewed faith, and
the knowledge that when it seems like everything has been reduced to ashes, that even in ashes there are vital nutrients for the soil to regenerate and bring about new growth. I believe in you Bruce Springsteen.
I just love how Bruce is watching Eddie sing his song with such a look of tenderness in his eyes. their mutual respect for eachother is just a beautiful thing.
@ruggs1996 I agree with you friend. Actually he is comparing this performance to the original one. Can any one sing like The Boss has sung? This is beyond imagination.

Well, I've already told you why.
This song deserves a much better treatment.
This performance is totally passionless.
He sounds like a guy who's only been playing his guitar for a couple of months.
I've heared better covers from amateurs here on YouTube.
