Sting - "The Rising" (Bruce Springsteen Tribute) | 2009 Kennedy Center Honors 

Perfect assessment. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed, but also where the autocue is..

@@julianramsay Lol exactly. I think he was reading the lyrics.

Call Sting❤

Thoughtful Seating for Dignitaries also makes the Flow Go Right ❤❤❤❤❤

If you are worthy Sting will come.

Sting never got repayed when he was honoured 😅

@@2manojpant He did - by the Boss himself. look it up

Didn't say "almost"... Magical it was... X

Could not have said it better. I could listen to this song over and over. Amazing job

I'm loving Mel Brooks.

This was certainly special

@jane rae got me through Covid 19!!!

Lol. Ego filled drunk that became another liberal, political pawn. Unreal talent but caught up in the Hollywood millionaire class that lectures middle America on how to live, act and vote. F off “boss”. Go buy your daughter any pony to store at your gated estate. Builds a wall at his house then preaches for no border for our country

@@tblightningbolt8902 you are a sad guy

Resting humble face!😂

To be honest i read this a couple times but I’m not sure what you’re trying to communicate here. I’m a pretty smart guy so it baffles me that 168 people apparently understood this somewhat nonsensical comment, yet here I am scratching my head?!

@@Hrdfrmhvns333 xD I guess I might have written it poorly. What I'm saying is, Sting does an amazing performance but Bruce receives standing ovation for it. That was the bottom line I guess. And also how good it must feel for Bruce for someone to sing his own song back to him in such manner as Sting can.

@@seanachiescourt6659 oh i gotcha! Makes sense! I agree! Must be a powerful moment for both Bruce and Sting, as well as all in the room

Your words touch my heart Uncontrollable 😢

Springsteen has a monologue in his live box that's like that.Not getting along with dad,fights over haircuts and a draft notice.Im usually in tears.

Agree wholeheartedly. The only President and First Lady in my 77 years I would have voted for a third time.

So true

@@haccou if you havent listened then try Obahma and Springsteens podcast , Renegades .. incredible and uplifting

@@nicholasbarrell4885 sending out to my friends as we communicate today!!!!!

Well said.

I hope your'e putting a great deal of blame on the POTUS in this videos voters and media partners. They took us down the road we are on today

No one.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

no one

Right on!

No one!!! Love from Switzerland! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭

omg same

Yes, that made me tear up. Great performance by Sting.

Watch Bruce Springsteen staying alive

Magnificent

this video really cheers me up, absolutely when Michelle Obama nudged Springsteen to indication her husband was going to lead a standing ovation -- goosebumps.

Every Bruce song has a choir. Sometimes it's just in your head. Often.

It was the same choir that sang behind him at the Inauguration in January

Ever humble, ever Bruce.

Facts

Ditto

Bruce is the best!! Love from Switzerland! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭

​@@ulrichwill496more or less like one ball of Sting.

Great song and superbly performed by sting.

Obama hates America ,,, I can't get with him.

yes

only just noticed is that shane fontayne on guitar ?

I watch this over & over and think to myself 'that was then-----this is now------what happened to us???'

@John Pouw Well I have seen President Trump during the September 11th remembrance service last year and both he and Melania were very classy, graceful and respectful. Besides thanking First Responders for their *heroic* actions, Trump ended up praising Americans in general who rose up to the occasion, donated blood, food and clothes and went searching for the missing etc. Not to forget thanking and Blessing our troops for their actions against Terrorism since. So you *know* it is not all black-and-white.

you're right: Michelle and Barack have the best class ever and like good music;

Sting's performance was beautiful, but the world itself was tormented by a horrible financial crisis that destroyed a lot of families and their homes.

Its still beautiful. We have to continue to hang in there and look to find the beauty: a child's face, gentle rain, holding the door for someone, offering smiles to strangers, glorious sunshine, animals and plants and the oceans. Hang in there. We're gonna make it.

@@2beinteresting financial crisis hit the most people who caused it on Wall Street. Sadly the people on bottom paid for it the most. But in US only. Wouldn’t call it a world problem I pointed more to divided world and social media that help to this every day. The world where politics, companies and radicals of all kind systematically grudge everyday Joes and Janes against each other

That ain't no cover he wrote that song

@@philipg1721 what? no he didn't

No, Bruce Springsteen did, of course!

Sting knows that and god love him has worked so hard to try to be the best version of himself. Personally dont believe in rock godz of any kind but this tribute helped me,

Sting also from very humble background, the Boss & Sting are two peas in the same pod to me!

Emm , I think that Sting actually is English and comes from Newcastle on Tyne.

@@mikerobertson2158 If you're replying to Kent Beery, which I think you are, he was talking about Bruce Springsteen not Sting!

Amen to that

Joe, Vote Blue

I miss him. But at least he is still with us.

This song is my ideal of what America is all about. Freedom, decency, and resilience. A beacon.

❤Awesome Daddy ❤

❤So Humbling ❤❤❤

Well done well done well done hallelujah

Já vi isto várias vezes e dá me sempre vontade de chorar.Porque será?

evelyn baron I watch Donald Trump leading our great country. By almost any measure, this is the best time to be alive.

They’ve been good friends for years.

@Venkata Putta 🙂

He wrote this in response to 9/11.

@@KoreyAusTex I know but thanks anyway 🙂🙏

@@KoreyAusTex he had already written prior, but released it in response to 9/11

But they didn't though, they gave it to Sting. You could hardly hear what he was singing.

@@CB-xr1eg you have some shit amount of wax in your ears if you didn't hear Sting knock it out of the park!

I'm feeling you brother. Same as that dear lady at 3:07

Ich sehe es auch so und gönne den beiden ihr Glück von❤ Herzen. Grüße aus Deutschland.👍🌼😊

What's the timestamp for this? I missed it 😕

His history as a musician encompassed so many different areas from let's kill Stewart Copeland through jazz though Elizabethan music .... of course I respect both musicians!!!!! If I'm not wrong I think Barack Obama and Springsteen have a book coming out Renegades which is not out in my library yet based on a podcast together. The way he humoured Seinfeld no apologies for not appreciating comedy ... about nothing ... Netflix comedians in cars with coffee etc. was hilarious. "You realize there are men with guns out there protecting me just in case you go slightly too far" I am paraphrasing big time will rent again to check it out, cheered me up. best wishes!!

@Tim Donofrio I hear ya and feel the same. I can't help but notice how the Obamas actually enjoy their lives. They're groovin' and singing along to music that we all have grown up on. I never in a million years would have thought we would go from that lovely First Couple full of life, joy, and grace; only to be slapped on the face daily that we have a first family now without an ounce of love or joy, and a big zero in the grace department! Could there be any starker contrast between an Obama White House with a loving and good family making positive contributions in just the way they interacted as a family and in their positions as POTUS and FLOTUS. Christmas decorations in the WH even look depressing. I guess we have to keep watching moments like these and remind ourselves to care about each other and our country because the people we pay sure aren't doing either. Peace!

God, don't you miss 2009? How did we get here? May 2020?
