bruce springsteen legend of bigmacs

[peperenono]

magnifique!!!!!!!!!!!!



[willstarsz]

two people have no soul

[MLoPeZ23805]

So Incredible...I imagine everything he says as its happening..soul food truly..and Im Brown lol..this recharges me every time..so Humbling and beautiful..Im proud our President is there to see this btw...cuz Im a Marine..

[MrPittsSox]

this is ridiculously good...

[lalunadigiorno]

un grande artista che riesce ad emozionare anche Springsteen!!!!

[robsidle]

My friend Jayson Bowerman made his Wisenborn guitar! So cool to see it being played so perfectly and in such an incredible venue.

[67dwilkes]

This had me in tears. That was just beautiful.

[1MCOPE]

If you were moved by this, then seeing Bruce doing the whole thing live (on the right, 7 min 44 sec) will break you up. The cinematography is poor but the sound is excellent.

[motherocean24]

@1MCOPE I agree....how brilliant is this man? I'm sure you've seen Thunder Road live with Melissa Etheridge (check her out at the Kennedy Center here doing Born to Run too!) and If I should Fall Behind with Clarence that dear sweetheart. I used to love blasting down the highway listening to Sherry Darling when I was younger....Bruce has covered the gammut of emotions and does it like no other. Clarence will be sorely missed.

[trueindieproject]

The first time I've heard a Springsteen song rendered better than The Boss Himself.

Great job Ben!

Michelle Obama says "wow" at 3:04. Looks like the president himself was deeply touched.

I don't know of another American poet whose words can play with your emotions quite like those of The Boss.

[botanyboy2]

Amazing version of the song. He leaves out some verses of the story.

[DarkSheep91]

i love michelle obamas "wow" at 3:04 xD

[tessabianca]

@ioutioub You will have to look up Bruce Springsteen "I'm on Fire" and "philadelphia" are two of my favorites. He's wonderful!

[MichaelParentiOrg]

Thank you for the wonderful song Much appreciated Kind regards, MP friends

"Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice." — Michael Parenti

[bwells13us]

how could you dislike??

[whippingboy83]

No words to describe this...thank u Ben and thanks for uploading...

[joshuafernandez1234]

i listened to this song..

and thought it was only 1 minute long , i was completely mesmorized by this...

ben harper is one of the greatest live musicians.

who agree's?

[karma123]

I don´t think thi has anything to do with Haiti; it was prior to those events...

[VaughnAndCompany]

It looks like Bruce wasn't far from tearing up in this one. Great cover of a very under appreciated song.

[cedre23]

juste bravo, il captive tout le monde, il y a une humanité incroyable qui se fait sentir dans cette salle. bravo

[hemet92544]

1:50 Ben makes me drift off sometimes, too, Mrs First Lady :-)

[jillhbaudhaan]

who is the woman crying at 3:12???

[jimbobf1]

@jillhbaudhaan Maybe she missed her father, her children, a loved one or friend that has passed and this song brings back memories. There are millions of people that did not / do not have good relations with one or both of their parents and after some years realiize they want to heal wounds or close the divide. Maybe it brings back memories of one's earlier life. There is a good portion left out of these words but you can find the complete lyrics on line. May we all find peace.

[jillhbaudhaan]

@jimbobf1 I didn't ask why is she crying. I wondered who is she because the camera focused on her.

[MrPittsSox]

this is so good it's bad...so right it's wrong

[kuriaki71]

awesome

[joshandcarolerush]

Ben is just amazing. 

[ts7575]

AMAZING!!!

[whiteyy11]

could not hold back the tears on this one

[dmxsterryk]

musiluna: Not an asher guitar. It's a Breedlove lapsteel.

[SingPsalms31]

beautiful

[c8r4ng3]

Åh vilken musik!

[DerekJ3031]

So great.. Ben never ceases to amaze. I remember DVRing this haha

[hobo46]

AWSOME!!!!

[chrisbb33]

Why did they edit this song short Why...?

[Fuzigish8]

And more soul one cannot have than Ben Harper.

[carloceschino]

It's not seems to be an original weissenborn.

Some one knows what's the brand of this lap steel? at 0:11 you see that there is no saddle on it, the bridge have a different style

[musiluna]

@carloceschino

it is an asher guitar

[bowerboater]

@carloceschino Hi- the guitar is a Breedlove, built by me (Jayson Bowerman) before I started my own brand Bowerman Guitars. I built roughly 34 hawaiians in the four years of thier production at Breedlove. They are not currently in production of the style. If I'd known Ben wanted more traction on the back of the guitar I would have poured some sand on the finish coat on the back for him!

[ticknei]

Ben harper man very good song

[bhic84]

Semplicemente unico!!!La tua musica arriva al cuore. Grazie Ben

[pecne]

Ben Harper is fucking awesome

[ZEBRA2828]

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Absolute Chef d'oeuvre.

[floseul]

[colinhrichard]

@floseul DADDAD i'm pretty sure

[shademonger13]

@floseul open D i believe

[MattKirvan]

True music right there.

[BALZACHERTZ]

This is amazing, and Ben's recorded version of the song is great, but he cuts out a huge portion of the song, and it's most important lyrics, not sure why he did it this way, I assume time constraints.

[pliscopolipo]

M A S T E R P I E C E !!! Good job Ben !!!

[wrightherewrightnow9]

I love that Bruce is visibly moved by the performance. Bruce may be the Boss, but that was a stunning rendition.

[shademonger13]

wow.

[djcanfield4]

i think Bruce liked it. this is a very touching song to him. im sure he was glad to hear someones rendtion of it..... because this was amazing.

[steVenh00by]

angelavogt... first time I saw Ben was at that same blues Fest. This. Video. Is. Great. Love Ben Harper

[dyl8ed1]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angelavogt]

This is how I love to see Ben play... takes me back to the first time I saw him on his first Australian visit all those years ago... at the Blues Fest... that was one show in my life I will never forget. The crowd was silent, mesmerised and being taken on a journey many hadn't ever experienced before..

[TheMediaSaint]
