I hung my head - bruce springsteen ( pro shot)

i hung my head live pro shot - bruce springsteen

[@Oddernod]

Has a guitar solo ever captured the emotion of a song more viscerally and put you right into the head and heart of the narrator? A buzzsaw that just eviscerates it's audience - damn, Bruce. Damn.

[@robertwelton8601]

I love how Bruce seems to be fighting with the guitar. Sublime playing.

[@noahcorrigan5597]

There will only be one Bruce Springsteen. I truly thank God for being born in this era.

[@krollpeter]

I am not a Bruce Springsteen fan but this is truly an epic version, superbly played and of deep emotional quality

[@ziggyjones8557]

The smile on the drummer's face at the end. Says it all.

[@lcmab1992]

yes! he knows - that was GREAT.

[@fredherfst8148]

That’s Vinnie…he’s everywhere!

[@johncarey6963]

Sting may have written this, but Bruce owns it, lock, stock, and barrel. Bruce’s version is a lot more gritty than Sting’s. The desperation, self-loathing, remorse, and resignation in Bruce’s voice cuts to the bone.

[@PlayItAgainThom]

Listened to 3 versions now after discovering this song. By Sting, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. All artists that I like. Ironically, although he wrote it, Stings version isn't as good as the other 2, but Johnny Cash's is the best of the 3 in my opinion.

[@Robermetal]

Jonny cash also owns it

[@m-pierrerousseauboileau9343]

cadeau du boss ,the boss the only boss - gift from the boss, the boss ... the only boss!

[@clarkeonenil2366]

I only ever knew this as a Johnny Cash song, and I assumed it was written by some dusty old balladeer from west of the Pecos. Then I stumble across this version by Bruce and I find out that it was actually written by a man from Nothumberland. Having listened to all three versions, Sting, Johnny and Bruce, I would say that Sting's is great, Johnny's is superb and Bruce's is a masterpiece. The song is made for Bruce, and I know some people don't like the guitar solo but I love it.

[@gustavotozzo]

That guitar solo IS the unspoken part of the anguish the lead role feels throughout the entire song.... there's pain, anguish, rage for a deed that should not have taken place.... I have heard this version of Bruce many times, and every time he does it it adds a different layer of pain to it. One exuberant artist and story teller. Hat off to him... I am enthralled by the way he performs this song. Totally agree with you, it is a masterpiece!

[@LibGuy62]

Es un hombre del pais.

[@mcleodmichael1]

Anybody who doesn't like the solo doesn't understand rock and roll.

[@cliveclapham4748]

MM. Yep! Nailed it.

[@muradkhbd]

Yes, you are absolutely Right 👍

[@jimwaters1562]

Damn damn damn that is awesome. Bruce’s guitar 🔥🔥🔥

[@Harrygreen111]

From a 59 yr old Australian so so happy l got to live the same time as you Bruce

[@XprPrentice]

The silences before the chorus - which I don't believe are in Sting's original - are heartbreaking. They only go on for a measure or so, but it seems Bruce could hold them as long as he wanted. His version of this character makes me weep.

[@m-pierrerousseauboileau9343]

cadeau du boss ,the boss the only boss - gift from the boss, the boss ... the only boss!

[@birdmantd]

Sting's thoughtful , introspective lyrics + Bruce's brooding intense interpretation= music jackpot.

[@billgibbs9128]

birdmantd Johnny Cash wrote this song, not Sting.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Bill Gibbs Yup, Sting wrote it.. I found that hard to believe at first too..

[@lorddaver1935]

Bill Gibbs Wrong. It WAS written by Sting. Check your facts...

[@mikemcleod346]

I love the ironic repetition of the phrase "early one morning with time to kill."

[@Patrick-zl6yz]

Best live performer ever....kudos to the band that was perfection.

[@kennywendel5663]

Masterpiece

[@ezrabiggins90]

I don't care how many notes per second anybody can play, nobody's guitar playing excites me and moves me like Bruce's. Looking at the musicians' faces here I don't think it's just me.

[@famattjr]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@smarterthananyone]

Agreed. Always reminds me of Neil Young's guitar solos.

[@bill3901]

ezrabiggins90 just plays more emotionaly than anybody

[@grgreengracie]

ezrabiggins90 +1 still my favorite Bruce video. though there are other greats. This one has all the emotion and sexy I see and hear at his concerts.

[@baybae92]

Dude, same. SAME.

[@gonflebouffigue]

Undoubtedly the best rock singer alive. Happy birthday, Boss.

[@m-pierrerousseauboileau9343]

Simply the best !

[@karenbuckhannon6014]

My Man Bruce just kills this song ! Masterful Solos Blows this Band Away!!! Long Live BRUCE!!!

[@kayhinton6487]

Love this mans voice and the way he interprets a song. So much emotion. He really is the Boss!

[@m-pierrerousseauboileau9343]

cadeau du boss ,the boss the only boss - gift from the boss, the boss ... the only boss!

[@brucefredrick6229]

I think he gets overlooked because when he is with the ESB, Nils and Stevie are the ones who really get to show their talent. Relieves him and frees him up to be all over the place on stage, in the crowd, goofing, dancing, etc... He does seem to really enjoy the times when he has a chance to show his skills.

[@TheKlauscat]

True. He’s said that he knew that he was a good guitarist, but not great. He also said he wasn’t the best singer, so he knew his songwriting will be the thing that distinguishes him from most. I would say that what he didn’t say, and that his front man stage presence, passion, charm, and ability to bring a sense of communal experience with his audience is second to none!

[@idicula1979]

You could practically feel the lump in Springsteen throat and the plea in his guitar, awesome.

[@matthewgoretti2660]

Effing goosebumps.

[@tobydavidson5291]

The best. Can listen to it 5x a day. Lyrics, intensity, pace...magical

[@stargazer7876]

FUCKING WOW!!! Its why he is the best. What an amazing version. I still have chills. Thank u Boss.

[@davidtemporal5545]

Spectacular

[@davefeener2211]

Amazing performance. The awe of the band members was special. Even more special to have an original E Streeter, David Sancious on keyboard to make it even more sweeter.

[@craigallegrezza1876]

David Sancious is on keyboard? Wow, this is special!

[@birgittagrunerwald7726]

❤️Fantastic! Powerful! I love your voice, your energy, your passion! Thank you!❤️

[@doteot78]

he is so underated as a guitar player, very original

[@jerihorton6752]

Hung my Head,Sting,Cash,and Springstein..each recorded..all 3 Awesome,Perfection

[@lorddaver1935]

Yes, but the point is that Sting wrote it...

[@jjjtttggg]

I love that when Bruce plays his guitar, you can hear it! :) Even before he breaks out here, (and after), you can hear what he's playing. Lot's of singers hold a guitar as a prop. Not the Boss!!!!

[@junojay4563]

I could hear this one over and over... Bruce is just great! What I also love very much is that there's David Sancious at the Piano. He has worked with Sting for years, but he is also one of the original members of the E Street Band! They actually got the name because of the street where David (beeing only 16 at the time) lived with his mother. They recorded the first two albums together. David and drummer Ernest Carter left the band in 1975 for the opportunity of a solo carreer - after recording Born to run☺.

[@robg4470]

Good pick up. I hadn’t noticed

[@temporarystranger95]

But then E Street got Roy Bitton.

[@cliveclapham4748]

The Prof... What a replacement! (Who also shone on Bat ot of Hell) Wonderful days..

[@arsene737]

And Dominic Miller, who is Sting's guitarist

[@JudyMcMahan-oz3hy]

Phenomenal performance by an artist that just keeps doing it. Unbelievable solo; no one tells a story like only Bruce can with his guitar. You just keep them coming…..surprises! Such a gifted artist. No one else even comes close in my book! What a performance and you really get to it to tell the story like no one else can!🌟

[@lucarusso321]

the guy still sounds good with his guitar....simply magic..thanks bruce

[@MartinBlanford]

Rarely is a cover better than an original. This is one of those rare cases.

[@ryanmcalvey6917]

+MartinBlanford this and "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers are two songs by other artists that may as well been written by him, they're completely in his wheelhouse

[@genetenz]

Definitely not

[@trippy_tearzzz]

The fact you choose this over cash is depressing don’t get me wrong he did a fantastic job but like come on it’s cash

[@JayJoJonny]

also performed by Bruce during Sting's Kennedy Center honors. It was the first time I heard and it really knocked me out.

[@nikitashakur1812]

*LYRICS-LYRICS-LYRICS* *Early one morning With time to kill I borrowed Jebb's rifle And sat on the hill I saw a lone rider Crossing the plain I drew a bead on him To practise my aim My brother's rifle Went off in my hand A shot rang out Across the land The horse, he kept running The rider was dead I hung my head I hung my head I set off running To wake from the dream My brother's rifle Went into the stream I kept on running Into the salt lands That's where they found me My head in my hands The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run?" And then it came to me Just what I had done And all for no reason Just one piece of lead I hung my head I hung my head I hung me head I hung my head Here in the court house The whole town was there I see the judge High up in his chair "Explain to the courtroom What went through your mind. And we'll ask the jury What verdict they find." I felt the power Of death over life I orphaned his children I widowed his wife I ask no forgiveness I wish I was dead I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head *Early one morning With time to kill I see the gallows Upon a hill And out in the distance A trick of the brain I see a lone rider Crossing the plain* *And he'd come to fetch me To see what they'd done And we'd ride together To Kingdom come I ask for no mercy For soon I'd be dead I hung my head I hung my head* *I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head*

[@UrLiane]

This song fits great with Bruuuce! GREAT!!!

[@blindterrytucci2752]

Does anyone else interpret the long build up at the end as the man waiting in the noose before they finally drop him? The buildup is him becoming more and more scared before the bottom finally falls out below his feet. Jesus, I can't listen to the last verse without my hair standing up. It's so fucking powerful.

[@glennhenson6495]

That's interesting because I interpret the buildup as the man wanting it to be over, not fear but frustration at it taking so long. But yeah your right no matter how interpret, it is powerful.

Maravilhoso sempre

[@Loose4Bruce]

I thought I loved Johnny Cash's version. Goooooooooooooo Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the master.

[@dryellowbluesbandinthemach2781]

Art is a light in the darkness. Bruce art is always shining and in my opinion the choice of this Johnny Cash is brilliant and up to date. The more Weapons are easy to be "borrowed" by anyone and the higher is the risk for a " solitary horse rider in the plain". Music can't save te world but sure helps people to better understand its problems.

[@lorddaver1935]

Dr Yellow blues band etc. What do you mean "the choice of this Johnny Cash..."??? Although Johnny Cash sang a cover version, the song was written by Sting. For that reason, it was perfectly appropriate for Bruce to sing this song at this gig - Sting's 60th birthday bash.

[@paperclip_rodeo]

Dr Yellow blues band in the machinery of night. This song isn’t political, it’s just a story

I'm very fond of President Obama. I admire him enormously. Nonetheless, I agree with you, rob. Bruce Springsteen is the greatest living American, if not the greatest living person on the planet. He has become far more than our greatest musician; he has become our nation's conscience.

[@mesqueunsub1624]

Nice cover by Springsteen, real gritty. I imagine the late great Johnny Cash wished he could have sang it with this vibe which he would have done in his earlier years. His voice just wasn't up to it which is a shame. People love it anyway because he's a legend. Sting's version is excellent, it's hard sing a narrative and he does it. Also I find it so ironic people saying Sting is pretentious and puerile because it simply demonstrates they haven't heard his catalogue of music since the mid 70s. He''s wrote plenty of world class tunes and his Blue Turtles where the only band to cover Hendrix with imagination and class. Plus the lone rider had just posted a comment on KZbin about Sting being pretentious.
