Bruce Springsteen & E. Vedder - Darkness On The Edge Of Town

[Elfulano]

4 people are doing it wrong

[subcomandantetroncos]

my favorite song, my favorite singers... hard even to dream, but its reality. Well thats the only good thing that G. W. Bush made. Ever.

[LSaro6965]

Two words....FUCKING AMAZING!!

[TheCreativania]

TWO IDOLS O.O....

[jackster1212]

I grew up in the Northeast, where Springsteen is oxygen... and this song from this album was one I listened to with my first girlfriend for hours in a parked car... Vedder came later, post-college and never made it high in my music rotation. But this is an exceptionally great collaboration.

[john9944]

Nice post. Eddie doing his best impression of the Boss. The harmonies almost sound double tracked. Just a note the new Eddie album of ukulele songs is great as is the new box set by the Boss.

[monkeypi6]

so im listening to this song while playing the computer game league of legends and when a new window opens it shows the logo witch just says "league of legends" it was positioned perfectly so it was just under bruce and eddie

[gustavito2525]

dos pedazos de idolos juntos,,, grande eddie



[ValidVikes]

two of my all-time fav's. thanks for this.. Is Springsteen's mic cutting out at times or is it me?

[rockr866]

dude i am amazed at what you posted i am adding this to my favorites bar yor whole channel. bravo from a bruce fan to another

[CallumJStewart]

1:18 - why does Patti get a spotlight but none of the rest of the E Streeters do? Bloody favouritism...

[SwingRiots]

@CallumJStewart Looks like Clarence does

[Point850]

when he sings yellow ledbetter thats what he does right? menu from a chinese restaurant ;)

[aaronmfenwick]

I think I could listen from 3:35 - 3:46 all day long. Gotta love em both, but the two of them together? Dang.

[aaronmfenwick]

@aaronmfenwick I meant 3:45-3:56. oops

[JJSHIZZ]

eddie was very respectful and gave the final scream to bruce :D.. nice performance

[joebev717]

Too much awesomeness to contain on the same stage

[RockPaperSmoke]

this gives me goosebumps

[Mohrrigan]

when you put greatness on stage with greatness you get this, pure greatness

[ElDud]

Eddie fucking rules and so does the Boss. One of EV's greatest attributes, among others, is that he respects the guys that came ahead of him and will always let you know why he is what he is. He's unique that he not only has his own thing, but can pay respect to the likes of the Boss and do it the way the boss does it, and maybe even better. This is proof positive in this video. What's fucking great about this video is the first shot of BS's wife and how fucking far stage right she is...tard

[kingofmilwaukee]

As a lifelong Bruce fan, the most important part of this song is the part EV sings from 3:13 to3:24 and he absolutely NAILS it! Great version.

[81mithrandir]

Bruce abd Eddie are the best songwriters of their generations!!!

[MrDjmacd]

Damm...I grew up listening to "Born to Run"....Eddie was probably still learning how to play Led Zeppelin. Great to see him turn into the entertainer he truly is. Kudos Eddie.

[youtubister]

The Gods must have been smiling when they put Bruce and Eddie on the same stage. EPIC!

[bapyou]

Bruce is always great. But I think his performance of this song at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ in the early 80s is mythic. Search for it. It's on YT. The song bleeds. It truly bleeds.

[eppeone]

To put it as simply as I can... The Greatest American Rock Band, ever.. E Street, forever..

[scrapplecheesesteak]

Damn,  this is amazing

[sdowd121091]

two rock legends of two completely different eras. springsteen and vedder will live in rock infamy forever, but for them to come together and play like this?? nothing short of epic.

[marinecormom]

You r soooooo right...just like when Eddie sang with Neil Young!!!!!!

[bgdaddykul]

different times, different lives, but together 4ever!!!!!

[hdc4890]

'till someday, they just cut it loose, cut it loose or let it drag 'em down, where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face...

[TomOwenM]

One hell of a song.

[albertzack]

is it a dvd?

[blackdogleg]

rock Bruce please never stop ROCKING!!!!

[djmcg07]

Eddie Vedder can sing a menu at a chinese resturant and make it sound amazing! Bruce + Vedder= ROCK N ROLL GODS smiling!

[TheSuSsMiesteR]

haha well put

[gotzou]

amen, dude

but I think rock and roll has no gods

rock and roll has dogs, in this case wise dogs

cheers n rockn'roll!

[drvrlvr]

YAY that was awesome!!!!!!!!!

[lisashenmaid]

eddie sounds great on that second verse, daymmmm

[dawso26]

awesome stuff, their harmonies seem a bit off. dont mind though coz these guys know what theyre doing

[freetocomunicate]

we all have strong points and weak points,ive watched the boss struggle to stay with eddie on betterman,please enjoy the music,why compare,its child like.now im being childish!!!

[poppypitbull]

I was there, awesome.

[U2JAM1984]

WOW!!!!I LOVE BRUCE AND EDDIE!!!!

[mothatrucka13]

two greats combined into a great song ...

LOVE THIS!!!

[kkwillsaveus]

I like both, but Vedder has nothing on Springsteen

[Tunnelof]

Great

[MahoneyReturns]

Eddie Vedder absolutely nails it respect!

[HCADW]

one thing that makes bruce so sexy is how he dresses.  I love his style, all of them

[rwk0965]

why r yall fighting over whether eddie vedder or springsteen is better, they both have tremendous respect for each other, and are modest enough that they would both probably say they appreciate the other one more than themselves, stop fighting and just enjoy the music

[thatgirl312]

Amen,

[skyneta1a]

@rwk0965 Because they are retarded.

[mc2k9]

bruce has actually sold 80million albums in the usa, and 120million albums worldwide,, no one comes close to him,, he will stand out in the musics history forever as a legend, the boss!

[DeathRattle66]

Holy shitballs, sweird, you need to gather yourself. Let me know when PJ releases an album worth a shit, other than 10. Bruce continues to make great records, along with the 7 or 8 classic records. And the E can play PJ under the arena any given night. Maybe Vedder can get a job as a roadie for the Bruce and the mighty E. I gurantee Bruce has sold close to 70 million records.

[drbike1963]

Knob!

[ohlordohmylord]

you're an ignorant...have you ever even try listening to any other pearljam records than 'ten'? I bet you didn't bother.

[00DeathRattle]

Ya, Five Against One, Vitology, and Binural, or whatever they were called. Look at their new song, its a flunky from the Ten days, re-released. The best thing they were ever apart of, was the Temple of the Dog record. You see, I know what i talk about OhL. PJ were a fabricated super band, induced by the 90's. Springsteen is a rocknroll profit, induced by the heart and soul.

[ohlordohmylord]

ok, so i guess it's just a matter of taste, although calling PJ a fabricated super band is a bit extreme. They were formed on bands like GreenRiver or MotherLoveBone which were no super band in a commercial sense of that word. But I understand that you just might not like them, and thats cool. Anyway, Springsteen is great.

[00DeathRattle]

I just put Bruce in very high regard. PJ was my fav. to come out of the early 9's. I liked them much better than Nirvana.  Besides songs from 10, I really dig songs like, "Courdoroy", "Glorified G", "Wishlist", "Elderly Women.....", My favorite was the cover of "Soldier of Love". I would take PJ over every band that has come out since 2000, that 's for sure. It's just the Boss, is well, the Boss.

[cecsix]

lol "profit". fruedian slip? I think you mean "prophet". you know nothing - PJ was not a fabricated super band, nobody had ever heard of eddie vedder outside of san diego, and nobody had heard of the other guys outside of seattle. hardly what i would call ingredients for a "fabricated super band." dumbass.

[radio19952001]

I hope your parents die.

[nimi1984]

????????????

[Dukabor]

if yours did..you'd have to move out of the basement?...what a horrible thing to say...

[TheEricaApprich]

hahaha, that is awesome, i also hope the same, but maybe we can wish that the its a murder suicide where the ailing father strangles the mother and then slits his own throat while laying in their coffin of a bed next to each other. that would be top notch.

[ellroy28]

i hope you have some respect some day.. until than FU

[kirby74192]

you can't be "an ignorant."  it's not a noun. You are ignorant.

[ohlordohmylord]

true...

[cecsix]

he's also done a ton more promotion/videos. i love springsteen, but he's a commercial rock star. he will be pimping his goods on american idol before you know it. record sales does not = talent. not saying bruce isn't great, just pointing out the fallacy of your argument.

[snakeweirdo]

No disrespect, but the old Radiohead was better, and so it goes for many groups. The 60's was THE period of music..

[jack83aq]

Wow, Bruce & Ed singing together one of my fav Boss songs (and one of my all time btw)!

They match damn well, i'd definitely love them to tour together!!!

[AbbeyKarin]

Oh my god, I can't believe they match so well. Im sure Eddie Vedder admires the boss.

[snakeweirdo]

Eddie Vedder is more of a boss then B.S. He has got a voice, Bruce is kinda mediocre, but good too... :P

[KleWdSide]

Hardly. I like Vedder, but he's not anywhere near in Springsteen's league. And I'm sure Vedder knows that as well as I (and many others) do.

[snakeweirdo]

Springsteen himself seems to disagree with you on that by the looks of the sweat on his cheeks everytime he sees vedder...

[KleWdSide]

He SWEATS all the time!

[highlifenow]

pretty good stuff. i can never get over how well ed or the guys cover other songs...probably better sound than their pj material. bruce and ed need to tour together

[yankeesfreak24]

no they don't i need all bruce and only bruce

[sausage4231]

they re good but no

[Rising727]

Yeah, Bruce is just in another league than Eddie, although Eddie's great too.

There's been a lot of cool guys. But there's only one Boss!

[snakeweirdo]

And that boss is John Lennon

[kerouac217]

Two of my biggest heroes

[dmp78]

have you seen pj live recently? it's almost impossible to find a live act better then them out there. now, their last couple of albums haven't been their best or most inventive (a little straight-forward), but, like with most of their stuff, the songs take on new life in a live setting. pj still brings it, and after this most recent tour, it's safe to say that they'll be doing so for a while. they should have a new album out in a few months, and i'm anxious to see where they go this time.

[electricdynomite]

wow. bruce and eddie. this is the best thing ever. peace & love!

[Mikemadchill]

Their voices are like a match made in heaven.

[12knicks12]

anyone else get chills when vedder starts off singing??

[TheDaneRasmus1980]

yeah at 1:44 Eddie realy prooves the fact that he's the only one that it able to over shadows The Boss

[metsfan5319]

step up his writing. you obivously havent really heard a pj cd at all.

[ET253]

two of the rawest voices in rock n roll

[drvrlvr]

step up his writing????? you know not of what you speak...

great vid btw

[bash8000]

this about the coolest thing .ever. ive been saying for years ed is A LOT LIKE BRUCE!

[caminofeld]

I never was too into PJ or Vedder, but seeing this...wow man, he is like a protege...the voice is definitely there and then some, now EV just needs to step his writing up and he'll be right there (into the wild soundtrack was pretty cool, step in the right direction). Ruling it! Rad!

[thefivesolas]

PJ and Vedder are not in the same ballpark as the Boss. Sorry, but it is what it is. I love the fact he is paying homage, but let's hope he keeps it at that and not believe he is on the same level... he ain't.

[GrafficGuy]

Couldn't agree more, sorry folks.

[snakeweirdo]

PJ has sold more albums than "the boss"

[KleWdSide]

Well, so has James Blunt & 50 Cent. So, what's your point? Now get fucking lost, troll.

[snakeweirdo]

Nah, James Blunt has no talent at all, and 50 cent is interresting but not music...

[KleWdSide]

I was proving a point. Just because someone sells more records doesn't mean they're more talented. Does Blunt sell more records than Bruce? Yes. But is he more talented and gonna be remembered 30 years later? Fuck no.

[conboy11]

Blunt and 50 have not sold more records than Bruce. Born in the USA sold more than Blunt and 50's best albums combined and Bruce has produced many albums and has sold well over 100+ million albums worldwide. He has more talent and the world recognizes it.

[Jay3039]

vedder's voice brings the haunting echo to which maybe the original version lacks

[rainsofcastamere]

God, this is like Roy Orbison doing a duet with Akon. :(

[Albizo66]

anything but man, anything but. i'll leave it at that.

[dutch555]

Do you have ears???

[Eeza07]

Might I add, this is fantastic!

[gathering25]

holy shit!!!! WOW!! GREAT this two Men singing this great song together!! THANX for the vid!!!!

[hilsey95]

#fuckin "A"

[randc47]

Would give my left kidney to see Bruce and Ed tour together!

[jleet24]

I would give both kidneys and die shortly afterwards to see these 2 together. I grew up with Bruce Springsteen because of my father and I got into Pearl Jam and love Eddie Vedder, these 2 peoples music has sent me through so many hard times. I basically owe my life to them. So it would be fitting end, seeing as I would die because of the lack of kidneys :)

[longneckshorty]

Who could ask for more?

As near perfect a gig as it gets.

Excellent,and thanks for posting.

I reckon Bruce & Eddie would do a sensational version of "Radio Nowhere"

[kleman6]

I reckon, Bruce & Eddie would do a sensational version of just about anything you got haha

[DOConROCK1]

Being from Seattle, & a BOSS fan, this is fucking GRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Bruce #1.

[santewells]

I wanna see Eddie with 58 years old making a world tour releasing new albuns doing good songs and singing in the same key

[bobbelibob]

When Eddie Vedder sang it gave me the chills.

[adrock1011]

wow... just wow... i mean can you expect a voice to not change in 30 years?... everybody's does... bruce still gives it his all... other people won't even challenge themselves though... billy joel plays his classic songs in a lower key to compensate... bruce still goes for it... voices change... period

[budibausto]

I love it but bruce really changed to much his way to sing. When he was on his 20 and early 30s was a way much better artist and singer, It's terrible when sigers change theyr voices so dratically

[Eeza07]

What, you think you're going to sound the same when you're 30 years older do you?

[gabers32]

What album is this on originally?

[deadends79]

The Album?

"Darkness On the Edge of Town", obviously.

released in 1978 by Bruce Springsteen. Possibly the greatest album ever recorded.

[cordawg32]

i agree completely

[huaracagrande]

two great american icons, eddie and bruce, damm this is good, eddie's voice has been touched by an angel

[bentonio07]

They sound aweseome together!!!

Love both voices!!!

[hrddrvn]

you go eddie vedder you truly are the man

[cottonbaxter]

Brilliant songwriting by Bruce. Cool job by Eddie Vedder too!

[nittyranks]

Good shot of Eddie and Roy Bittan.

[nymetfan2312]

genious

[wilsonjohnny2000]

you rock boss man
