Bruce Springsteen & Sting - The River (Live)

[@trumsolon]

Sting and The Boss puts on amazing performances, but the best thing about this version is the STUNNING piano playing by Roy Bittan. Simply superb!

[@gundikiner8508]

Sooo unendlich schön

[@sladjanaristic6405]

Božanstveno kvalju. Tvoj glas, tvoja usna harmonika i kao dodatak STING pa to je bogovsmi dobro. Bravo Brus. Volim te kralju moj. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️..

[@ldesaes]

This is an amazing duo. Bruce is open hearted, honest and spontaneous. Sting is mysterious, deep and ethereal. It's great to see the two combined: every possible emotion is expressed. Two major artists together.

[@soffezinha]

such an epic moment. thumbs up who thinks that Bruce and Sting are one of the greatest singers ever.

[@Poppelmonde]

What do you get if you put two of the best singers ever together on a stage ? This, Pure Beauty.

[@asburystan]

Roy Bittan! - the great unsung hero of Bruces's work! Awesome piano work! Never misses a note, watches Bruce like a hawk, catches every nuance, knows when to throw in a fill and a flourish - Genius!

[@muggins08]

Great version of a great song. Saw Bruce in 1985 at his biggest concert to date at the time. He played the intro to The River and the fans took over. 100,000 people sang it start to finish. Amazing! I have to say, one of them got the weather forecast wrong. Sting's wrapped up like it's -10, Bruce in his sleeveless number!

[@Finchen20001]

seit diesem Song in den 80ern bin ich unwiderruflich Fan von Bruce Springsteen! Einfach grandios und einer der besten Live-Musiker die ich je erlebt habe!

[@hernje]

Two living musical legends, together, singing a great song. And it was free. Thanks, KZbin!

[@youpeidiedel]

I can`t unerstand much of the lyrics-- but what intimacy and power comes across of these two guys!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

[@DoTheHustle27]

I think it's fair to say that Bruce is one of the few artists who sound better live than on their albums.

[@teoreticarka]

"...is a dream a lie if it don't come true..." I don't know, but I know that this song is special, and it changed me...For that, Bruce, I thank you...:) simply beautiful...

[@sladjanaristic6405]

Hvala vam na ovom briljantnom videu. ❤️❤️❤️.

[@sladjanaristic6405]

Hvala što ste pročitali moj komentar i što vam se svidja. ❤️❤️❤️.

[@H-mv2jp]

Two great friends and performers, they produce a memorable version of this haunting song.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PLANETDIOGO]

I was there that night on River Plate Stadium on the Amnesty Tour in my City of Buenos Aires!!! I remember that night perfectly! Incredible show!! unforgettable!

[@muggins08]

Great version of a great song. Saw Bruce in 1985 at his biggest concert to date at the time. He started the intro toThe River and the fans took over. 100,000 people sang it, start to finish. Amazing!

[@SaysHeToMe]

absolutely fantastic. thats what i love about youtube..you find these duets you never knew existed.. and they are unbelievable.!!

[@suzlady1]

Wow! What a blast from my past! I was sitting in the front row toward the right side of the stage. When Bruce came out on the stage before they started singing it was such a surprise to me, because he was literally right in front of me. The audience started to shout, cheer, and applaud. Two legends, on one stage, singing into one microphone one heck of a song, it was so awesome!

[@sylviaslydavis405]

Bruce was freaking handsome ugghh! Love his curly hair!

[@ExclusivelyReclusive1]

i honestly think this is the best performance of The River. Sting brings somthing amazing into this song and makes it better and more emotional.

[@Fattaru83]

I saw this concert on TV when I was 16 still I remember every note and even this pullover on Sting :) Ever since this song is one of my favourite. This tour was simply fantastic.

[@mwtillotson]

Oh man, that ending has been getting to me forever. Unbelievably fantastic.

[@Paulian2]

Es ist einfach unglaublich, wenn sich die wirklich GROßEN der Musik zusammen tun!!! Unbelievable!!!

[@lora180292]

Geniales los dos, PEro BRuce es el mejor!!!^^:P the boss!!!!^^

[@deelocoss]

Con mi bici de carretera y va a la playa de Castelldefels con el radio casette escuchando al boss,me trae esos recuerdos de adolescente,cuando la vida era bonita de vivir,cuando escucho al boss la mente se tramsporta a esos años los 87-88,un saludo a todos los amigos de la playa españoles y estranjeros que hice muchos.

[@DIANA64940]

Que barbaridad... de lo mejor que he visto y escuchado nunca. Sin palabras

[@fobt90]

I like these 2 artists more than any other artist. Great to see them collaborate with each other. Thank U for posting this.

[@2010SecondsAway]

This is INCREDIBLE.. Bruce guiding the band behind Stings back, slowing it down, without even looking, he just knows they fall in.. Class !!!

[@totito5411]

I saw them live in Buenos Aires and unless Sting wore the same outfit everytime this looks like the same one. Bruce was the star his live peformance was amazing! Thanks for the vid.

[@Hanseat05]

Heh , ist das Musik!? Ja , genauso klingt Musik die man gerne hören muss !!! Zwei einzigartige Interpreten mit einzigartigen Stimmen ! ... und viele werden es kaum glauben aber das was Sting und Bruce dort abliefern ist nicht Playback gesungen ^^ Einfach ehrliche und gute Musik für die es sich lohnt mal nen Euro im "Plattenladen" auszugeben !!!!!!!

[@ousi00]

IMHO, this is the best version. I like the background music - the piano adds another dimension to this legendary song.

[@ep5pol]

Fantastic combination of a sweet and powerfull voice! Simply breath taking

[@chakflying1]

It had been a long time since I saw two great singers using one mic.... Great song.

[@easton1337]

bruce is killing this, no doubt the best liveartist in the world.

[@leonardodiaz4382]

gracia Lorena por recomendarme este tema y por estar ahi aunque no te tenga cerca

[@canadian1892]

the way Bruce writes... makes you think "hey I could write that too". it's so simple yet so complex at the same time. what he writes and how he writes hits you on the face. you feel "this is my story". you relate to it. two thumbs up for this song and others Bruce has written and for the ones he will write and blow us all away !

[@LindaMethod]

Wow! They sound really good together!!! 'Course, there's not much that Sting doesn't do well. Springteen's a legend, too. What a duo!! Great video, virus0101 !!!

[@Qlimited]

What a great combination of voices! And such a nice sweater!

[@sidobeef]

I absolutely love this! Great harmony on the chorus, and love when Bruce comes in for his verses! I just can't get enough of this song!

[@g33k41if3]

i usually listen to black metal, brutal deathmetal, melodeath, etc but this might be the best song ever made. so much feeling and passion in the vocals and the playing, awesome:)

[@gailforce192]

2 of my fav artists, absolutely awesome vid & 'The River' sung by them WOW WOW WOW!!!!

[@JohnnyKnoxville339]

what makes this version even better than the original is in my opinion the awesome piano. it fits perfect and this two voices together are just amazing

[@mariaeugeniazvietcovichgue4386]

Bruce es lo máximo, es un clásico. Desde Chile, te amamos.

[@Marcusnoo]

Amazing sweater! I really loved that sweater. Quite awesome duet also.

[@tominrochester]

Absolutely unbelieveble...Great song for Sting to sing...brilliant ending with the harp and electric violin. Honestly, bruce probably asked him to sing it.

[@Googaify]

one of the most amazing songs ever written. one of the best performences just genius, incredible, brilliant! There's no words that could describe the beauty of this song. And Sting and Bruce... espacially Bruce... oh my! there's just no way to describe it.

[@kruizerqueen]

I know the lyrics by heart. I listen to it so often. Great Song. Thanks for Sharing.

[@Beppo1901]

Es ist einfach die beste Version von diesem wundervollen Lied!

[@Poppenhuis]

Both so so so gorgeous and so insanely talented! Wish I was born few decades earlier...

[@monshes]

Wow ... the Boss ... amazing, He's as good as anyone I've seen, and I'm old enough to have seen a lot.

[@Jointe93]

Epic performance. Even though I'm an atheist, the word "divine" encapsulates this song

[@stayroxer]

it is so amazing ... Einfach nur genial .. der Boss einer der größten Musiker auf diesem Planeten ...

[@DoowahDiatribe]

Great video...such a great song and I think Sting's contribution is heartfelt and works musically...Speaking of mucical contributions on this video, the piano player is a rather big part of this presentation..could it be...Bruce Hornsby..yes

[@loftusboy9]

this is damn good..sting harmonizes with bruce perfectly on the chorus.,.have'nt seen this before..loved it,thanks for posting...

[@DaveSmoked]

I saw him last year...wonderful show...he's genius...hope you'll experience his concert asap :)

[@jejrstans]

OMG!! So amazing!! I literally had tears at the end they are so fabulous! The Boss, Sting and the E Street Band. Perfection!!

[@Bozewani]

A mesmerizing preformance of an marvelous song that will resound forever in the music world

[@Rainwarning]

Sting does well, really well. He is great in this song. Not Bruce by a long mile, but great enough to share the stage with the BOSS man.

[@tgmckeown]

This is just beautiful. Two greats working together in harmony. One The Boss' greatest songs done in extraordinary style.

[@Canguronumero1]

Absolutely amazing! Love Bruce

[@PedrovanderMeer]

One of my favourites, River Must have been a great concert!

[@quidobritt6681]

The River

[@Grofvolkoren]

Two of the best.. Singing together... How Beautifull!

[@aoifeluvzk]

What a pair!I cant stop listening to this song...brings me up when im down...thanks bruce ya legend!x x x x x x x x

[@evelasqu]

Que tal dupla. Gran performance, fenomenal

[@HLSMusic]

Unbelieveable... Amazing... Not many songs can beat that one..

[@yogananada]

@WatchingViking You can make up for the past by listening now as often as possible. You are lucky to have seen bruce and u2 two times. I haven't seen any of these artists but have been listening to bruce since early 80's up in the tibet area where I was trekking and met one American who gave me bruce's cassette which had a "point blank" song.

[@Baggy563478]

the 2 greatest musicians/frontmen in rock history singing one of the most amazing songs ever written... amazing

[@gangsterbuzzy]

Best and better together. Awesome performance.

[@TopTourDates]

I never get tired of hearing the Boss.. Thank God he's touring 2012! Yeah!

[@TheMackys]

Oh! They look so young! They are my heroes!! I listened to "The River" when I was in high school. I wish I was there watching this fabulous stage...

[@luisete76]

brutal sin mas.... Dioses de la música que consiguen que se me pongan los pelos de punta

[@porterhandbol12]

Enormous!!!!! That son made me love Bruce's music.

[@tamofbc]

amazing duo contribution and compilation.....sounds good......

[@fifanosaurio]

I WAS THERE!!!!! Amnesty's last concert. River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 1988. Great concert. Really.

[@laci987654]

@Marcoace88 I have seen this performance live in Budapest, Hungary, in the 80ies. I am ever so grateful that I could be there. It was cathartic. I love them both, but Bruce Springsteen is something else.

[@sandrafanin396]

Un insieme di voci incredibile, trasmettono forti emozioni!!Veramente unici!!Bravissimi, si sente a pelle la loro grande amicizia...

[@ninamrkholm458]

A fine sad song, about how hard life can be. Great duet.

[@Sylvie2]

Just amazing ! Thanks for sharing this so special moment with us :) I love both of them

[@ldesaes]

Bruce wrote it, so obviously it is his song, but it is very interesting to hear Sting's ethereal voice singing it. It gives the song a different edge. They are both geniuses. Love it!!

[@egwanmaster]

2 living legends, an excellent song, amazing result

[@yogananada]

Thanks for the response to my comments. I too have experienced such ESP connections. The other day I was writing a long email to my friend in India and he suddenly pops on Instant messaging asking me why he has not heard from me for so long. Lately I have been listening to Bruce's Live Madison square garden show which has songs like Youngstown and Murder Incorporated. Regards

[@laci987654]

I was there in the Hungarian concert (this is from the Concert for Human Rights tour back in 1988) and saw them sing this and Every Breath You Take together. I cannot tell you what an experience it was!!!

[@Stillehania]

There will never be music like this ever again...

[@WhiteWolfDief]

I would have died to be at this concert! ; ) Look at them! There's nothing on the stage but two great musicians (together with a great piano and harmonica) and they catch your ear and eye from the first second to the very last!!! Nowadays, live performances are only about who has the biggest special effects and the quickest change of outfit much too often. I hate to say that cause it sounds as if I were a 70-year-old, but I'm afraid today's stars are nothing compared to the "old times"! ; )

[@thenance55]

Thanks Bruce! Great Valentine song.

[@anRoisinDubh]

Totally agree, This Rocks, never saw it before..heard the song.. but it's different, thanks for sharing babe xx

[@madeIinetucker]

amazing.... there voices sound so good together!! i'm a HUGE fan of both of them!

[@sheol1010]

Amazing performance, this song goes straight to the heart.

[@asburystan]

The more I listen to stuff on KZbin the more I realise and understand the genius of the E Street Band - does Bruce ever look at them, give them directions, indicate key changes? It's like their bloody psychic!

[@JanetLeeuwerik]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Way to go Sting! At that they sing very well together.

[@groxie]

OMG I love this song,haven't heard it in years. As for the 80's comments, what a great time it was & what a blast I had(LOL).Awesome video Roxie

[@kroschfoenigin]

Great song, awesome performance by two of the most legendary musicians ever! And the pianist is pretty amazing, too. Wish I could play like that...

[@marclawrence66]

So good to hear this again. Sting's haunting vocal, Springsteen's awesome gravitas. Two of our best Rock Stars at the top of their game. I'll remember that Amnesty Tour at Wembley Stadium for the rest of my life.

[@flutefun46]

OMG those harminies at the end are AMAZING

[@nanthikasarasook1387]

I love this song, i'm not sure how many times i've listened but just love it.

[@perkiomenville]

It's very interesting that when other famous musicians sing Springsteen's music, they sing it with great passion and conviction as it to say 'I wish I wrote that.' It's really a tremendous tribute to Springsteen.

[@rebeliant17]

They shared one mic as equals, friends, and that is how legends do it.

[@marclawrence66]

Looked long & hard to find this gem. The Boss and Sting's vocals really bring something to this song. Saw them on the Amnesty Tour in London, think they may have sung this together. So sad, but so beautiful. Brilliant. Poor old Clarence Clemons God rest his soul, a gentle giant. Sting looks so handsome here & Bruce is just the epitomy of cool. What a total dude. And whoever is playing that piano - just Wow! B E A U T I F U L.

[@massivebeatzz]

unbelievable ..sting sounds raspy and low..almost like bruce... he is channeling bruce..wow..then sometimes he changes into sting phrasing...but the sound ...he's channeling..wow...respect...m and shows how hard bruce's songs are to sing... there's not many covering him..it's just hard... it's just the way he phrases sings...
