Dustin Kensrue performing a powerful acoustic cover of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus live from the Carry the Fire tour at The Irenic in San Diego, CA on June 5. 2015. This was shot on a Sony Cyber-shot HX50V. Due to the lights pointing almost directly at where I was standing, there are lens flares in pretty much 100% of the videos. Also the color of the lights didn't really sit well with my camera, but oh well.

you deserve a better audience.

Crowd clearly had no idea they were standing in front of one of those most emotionally powerful persons of rock music. Dustin is raw poetry and wisdom.

@antonbrabant9929 6 лет назад

Grown men giggling at the fact that Dustin Kensrue is covering Miley Cyrus is really disrespectful. The man is poring his heart out through his art and what is a great song.

@saragoodwin7855 4 года назад

Their giggles are disrespectful, I agree, but it also goes to show that they were still moved. Whether they have the emotional capacity to handle it or not is another story ahah I bet they were fighting back tears during Dustin's strong ending.

@Bradfordlax9 9 лет назад

@btbrotherton 6 лет назад

It was only your least favorite song because of your own judgemental attitudes. It's always been a beautiful song, it just took an artist you deem worthy of your praise covering it for you to be able to recognize that. Try to recognize a song for what it is, don't let your own preconceived notions surrounding whoever wrote the song influence your appreciation for the art. Dustin clearly does not.

@DUDE10009 8 лет назад

I was actually at this show. He's my favorite artist hands down and to see him in a tiny place like The Irenic was a treat. When he started playing this we all (as you can hear) chuckled bc we were like "Seriously??" - before we knew it everyone was mesmerized and when he stepped back from the mic to belt out the song we all had goosebumps. His rendition was so powerful.

One of those few times where the person covering the song just outdoes the original artist so hard. Like Johny Cash covering Hurt, Wrecking Ball is now owned by Dustin

I'd *heard* this song a thousand times but I never *listened* to it until I heard Dustin sing it with his incredible voice. And now i understand it has meaning and emotion that just didnt translate through the pop rendition. I love it to pieces, and have been singing it for days,

Best Performance on RU-vid. Crowd thinks hes joking and realize this is a serious take. And it is seriously incredible. Im in nantucket and ill never forget where and when i heard this MASTERPIECE.

Dustin is amazing. I'm lucky enough to meet him twice. Long live Thrice!

@toedyhood1353 5 лет назад

He nailed the song, but more importantly, he saw through the preconceptions of “a pop song” and realized just how well this song was written. The lyrics stand alone, but most “mature” adults fail to even notice them while they obsessively gawk at the idol they’ve created in their own perception (i.e. Miley Cyrus)

@toedyhood1353 5 лет назад

Now, some are appreciative/reverent of their newly discovered alternative to the idol they deemed unworthy of their reverence, so they “put him high up in the sky”. The idol will always come down though, due to the nature of idolatry Meanwhile... the words remain unheard by those who lack the ears to hear them

@MultiUlviyya 8 лет назад

I always liked this song, the words , but never the way it was so poppy and mainstream. Now listening to this made me smile so much and cry a little cuz the style and the song were perfect for each other, thanks Dustin you freaking music angel

This is so good. You can really notice how in the first half, the people are giggling because he chose such a "strange" song to cover. However, in the last chorus the people start cheering because they just realized how Dustin managed to turn a song like this into a masterpiece by his voice and guitar alone.

@RipcordVids 9 лет назад

Because it all got lost on everyone when Miley made it more about her riding naked on an actual wrecking ball. The only thing stripped here is the song, and the best is how halfway through the crowd stops laughing and has their "holy shit" moment.

@tphillips1990 9 лет назад

***** I hated Imogen Heap when I was young. I heard Dustin cover her "Hide & Seek" song and loved it, to the point that I was willing to listen to the original. didn't mind it. grew on me rather quickly.

@larryjuicepop 9 лет назад

***** no. pop stars still suck. it took Dustin covering the song, which is not written by Miley but performed, for us to realize the actual power of the song. most pop stars deserve all the flack we throw their way if they're walking to the bank with a bunch of people's money.

@bradmerilic6848 4 года назад

He made a fantastic point. When you tear away alot of the bullshit of a pop song some of them are and can be really fucking good. I mean...most of those songs are written by some amazing studio cats. They're just sold to pop stars. This is a great example of what most of those can be when torn down to a simple chord progression and some really strong vocals.
