Sting - I Hung My Head (Live - Berlin 2010, HD)

[@benbingobook]

whoever arranged this for the orchestra is an absolute genius

[@GhostGuitars]

The song has peaked. This is the best version. Gorgeous arrangement and performance

[@Eeza07]

Springsteen's version at The Beacon Theatre is shit hot crazy good.

[@krystynapospieszna5369]

Ten koncert to mistrzostwo świata, najlepszy koncert Stinga.❤

[@Pistolwhipperz]

@@Eeza07Springsteen Kennedy Center is this song at the PEAK of its POWERS!

[@saundraturner1097]

Bruce Springsteen does an authentic live cover at the Kennedy Center Awards honoring Sting!!

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

Stunning. Sting is a genius.

[@letsif]

This is one of the greatest performances of a masterpiece by a true master at the top of his form.

[@Boddingtons2007]

I love this song, powerful performance as always from Sting, and great support from the orchestra and the attractive lady at his side (Unsure of her name) , they all pull together so well you can feel the strength and devotion in their performance..... love it!

[@TheYanickman]

I do cry when I listen to this. It reminds me of how everything can come crashing down in a second and how I need to live life and be grateful.

[@jooei2810]

I saw this masterpiece and I held my head high.

[@VONENGMANSHOVEN]

nah..sting put this song to another level. still respected his nine rythm and sang it relaxed. Sting wins!!

[@HelloAttyAndrew]

4:55 just blows my mind! Thanks Sting!

[@JayJoJonny]

A fine song and sung as a tribute by Bruce Springsteen during Sting's Kennedy Center Honors.

[@rrichards31]

Bruce Springsteen is ear bleeding torture but Johnny Cash nailed it. Stringbeen is lefty nut bag and a repulsive musician and person in my opinion but to each his own.

[@devasha323]

Stunning.

[@MrChadillac89]

I don't know which version I like more. This is fantastic!

[@thegabrielhyde]

You know what I like best? This song's lyrics originally read 'I kept on running/Into the salt lands' - Johnny Cash's version changed it to 'south lands', and Sting keeps the alteration here. It's like he's saluting Cash.

[@Aralluen]

I know this is an 11 year old comment, but he definitely says salt lands here

[@Heavynprog1]

Hahaha Damn you sting! A country song in 9/8. Brilliant!

[@mariosangermano]

More like 9/4

[@DonQuiKong]

i really love the beautiful 9/8 rythm

[@28drafting]

Sweet sounding Maton!!! Great song!

[@davidrosenbaum226]

I see a few drummers and percussion musicians. Such a moving piece

[@Oncolog]

Wooh... Woooohh... It's just best version i ever heard

[@saundraturner1097]

My favorite Sting song Second Only to Every Move You Make!!!

[@gregoryleen2352]

Crazy, cus that's not even the name of the song!

[@WordTheChill]

That was Outrageously beautiful

[@Танямерлина-у8х]

Я снова открыла для себя песню Sting. Этот так близко к моему состоянию, когда твое " случайное или мимолетное" может изменить твою жизнь. Я написала такой сложный текст по-русски. Мне сложно перевести эту мысль на английский язык.

[@ronn7450]

Perfect performance

[@Devpow9]

Sting is a Master/Maestro.. Has been since 1983.

[@ge0storm578]

IMHO, fantastic rendition of a Sting song that I always enjoyed. The orchestral arrangement is a nice touch. Didn't know Cash covered it til I watched this clip, don't think the JC version is any better or worse but simply different as you'd expect these two artists' takes on the same song to be.

[@robertwilcox8902]

Good thing Cash covered this song for him.

[@lastrada52]

Sting is a GREAT singer-songwriter. Quite original & consistent. Johnny Cash is a legend in the industry. Listen to Sting as he speaks about Cash having covered his song. Sting felt vindicated. Comparisons? There are none. Cash, Presley, Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins -- you'll never see the likes of them again. Talk about careers that lasted a long time & influenced generations of musicians. Sting is only someone who can follow. Sting's version is excellent. Cash made it timeless.

[@paulgreen9618]

Sting's career....Close to 50 years and counting...

[@mathiask.3269]

Love Sting & J.C.! 🔥

[@divoinblue]

Enough already, both versions are gorgeous. I just love this version - beautifully orchestrated and lovely time sig - an English version of a cowboy song.

[@Jonester76]

The cash version is so much better it's hard to believe. And I speak as a huge sting fan.

[@MrRiverJude]

Agreed. But with one exception. Imho Sting sings these lines 2:25 4:40 way better than JR.

[@TheBibleWitness]

***** Why can't someone have an opinion without you making it something gay.

[@TheBibleWitness]

***** LOL. You really suck at insulting people.

[@Snickers557]

***** xD wutefuck this is hillarious

[@Snickers557]

Bible Believer funny your tounge is stripped gues you have no right to speak as a bible fan lol

[@davidrosenbaum226]

Still working on playing it in 9/8 time on the drums. A very unusual song!

[@gjb16]

Just hearing Stings version for the first time. Johnny sure made it sound like his own. But, wow, this is awesome. What a great song.

[@davidrosenbaum226]

So fantastic

[@elsabewium4450]

My song !!! Just luvit !!! 💜💜💜

[@savedfaves]

The lyrics are epic.

[@bandahabakuq]

um dos melhores músicos...indescritível ...

[@akswan87]

We saw him in MPLS MN. Great performance.

[@littlebeanchild]

This is a good song. No matter who plays it.

[@mrsuperbruce]

god bless sting

[@alainavril8260]

Sting t'es un amour

[@glennislizardo1414]

Just awesome.

[@bandahabakuq]

fantastic...sting...

[@divoinblue]

Beautiful

[@tilmannpuschka1216]

yes- very beautiful.

[@k1tkat-kate]

anybody else really enjoy watching the conductor at 4:54? :p

[@EdelGarstad]

I wish so bad I'd been at this concert..!

[@fullmetalknight3974]

I don't know who the female support singer is, but she is stunningly beautiful.

[@LordAethelstanVODs]

Her name is Jo Lawry.

[@mojo199]

superb

[@JohnHutchinson2013]

Love it!!

[@milanporopat1157]

Masterpiece

[@k1tkat-kate]

oh man, that harmonica.... goosebumps... well more like entire song = goosebumps but anyway

[@benbingobook]

spine tingling

[@relecteur100]

I concur with those who say this is better than the original..Good version this..the orchestra adds to the overall feel of the song..the original was a bit too loud..though both the versions are on the louder side, this version personally is relatively more soothing..

[@1958wvpicker]

Howdy This was nothing less than Spectacular a sheer Masterpiece my only question is this who are the 6 trolls who came out from under their Bridge an clicked the thumbs down Fantastic Thanks for sharing this wonderful work of art Stay Cool Rich

[@vincentvancraig]

The original version is always best......one exception.......Johnny cash.........anyway, I love both artists......without sting, we wouldn't have the the cash version, which if anyone hasn't heard it...it'll make u weep........love you sting........love you cash(!)(!)

[@MartinBlanford]

Fantastic! Debate as to who's version is best always ensues whenever the song is heard . . . Sting or Cash? Fact is, it's neither. Listen to Springsteen's.

[@nehalthapliyal6628]

True

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+MartinBlanford Watch springsteens version!!! You'll forget this one..

[@28drafting]

Carson Mckee has a great version.

[@nostromo7928]

I agree!

[@robertoapardo]

Springsteen it s truly a gunsmoke song from the far west

[@stmsteph]

Orchesta, fabolous idea

[@bandahabakuq]

sentimento puro...

[@TheMinamax]

I like Cash's version, you can feel the feelings by his singing

[@Lilimarmej]

Sting....como lo hace, es sencillamente comparado con algo celestial.

[@Frymononie]

The percussionist at 5:03

[@rkangel8943]

The boss makes a master piece of this... Sting did well writing it, but it was meant to be sang by the Boss Springsteen for sure

[@BuzzD747]

The Boss said by himself during an Interview, that he had to make it fit to 4/4 from 9/8 that he was able to play it properly... I love Springsteen, but Sting is the better Musician.

[@SRPornography]

Gotta hand it to Sting, he manages to suck the soul out of whatever song he's playing, no matter how well written or atmospheric.

[@wat9876]

a whole orchestra on 9/8 time. Tricky.

[@fabiodandrea4951]

Whose version's better, you say? For me the point is: with a whole orchestra and big dvd production, how the hell they decided to use that guy on a lame keyboard right behind Miller, instead of hiring a nice pianist with a real tail piano? "Hey Gordon, we've forgot to buy a piano! And there's this keyboard player that comes with the orchestra. What shall we do with him?" "Put him on the fuc*ing keyboard. And place him right behind Dominic, so that the whole world knows how cheap I can be", said the man who makes you pay for the honor of collecting grapes for him, in his wineyard in Italy. Apart from this, I love this song.

[@647vman]

Sting is an awesome singer song writer but I like how cash's version sounds I think its actually how sting wanted it to sound wgen he wrote it

[@DerSessler]

R.I.P. Johnny Cash

[@StrangelyBrownNo1]

Kiss had an orchestra as well.

[@WolfgangEsq]

Shout out to John Travolta losing it drumming at 5:04

[@gjb16]

Sting wrote this. If you listen to Sting, he says so

[@frankonaco1986]

Way much much better that song dont need all those instruments it takes away the entire song!!

[@FRANCISCOPRATSRIVERO]

Esto aquí con mi cena por desgracia debo de hacer lo que me diga mí oncóloga.paco de ci❤

[@nostromo7928]

Beautiful song. Did anyone else feel like the irchestra overpowered Sting's voice at times?

[@geneaddleman4144]

No shit I thought cash wrote this. Well it's a great song played both ways

[@timeshiftersvk]

I like Johnny's version more... But this one is AMAZING...

[@za1pp]

*Both versions are amazing but Ilike Cash's version more as it has so much gritty sorrow in his voice... a ma who knew he was dying soon*

[@geraldhuot6302]

No, I think Bruce Springsteen did a super job at this song. Sorry Sting but Bruce nailed it! Much love the canuck

[@jonnybanana88]

Does anyone know what kind of mic he uses?

[@russellheyns1846]

Is this song in 9/8? It’s not grouped in triples so I guess it is more correctly 9/4. It it’s crazy. First measure downbeats. Second measure up beats. Right?

[@tyzon05]

Well, that is the idea of having an orchestra to provide backing. And this is coming from a frequent orchestral player. I mean, isn't that the whole idea behind a concerto, or in this case a solo performer with instrumental backing?

[@KidKodein]

Johnny Cash's Cover is the best;)

[@robertshadbolt3056]

The longest johns do a great cover of this

[@rtljmc]

I agree, but there is just one problem, it was a cover.. sting wrote this. great song . either way

[@89sweetsweet]

who's the blonde woman?

[@luke5858]

remade it? lol im pretty sure its Johnny Cash's song

[@DCarnahan82]

Johnny Cash made this song great.

[@Topesio66]

That's it. I think J.Cash version rocks.

[@terry5123]

I admire-sting for writing this great song but give me the johnny cash version less is more

[@AbulDeevz]

You tell him Dio!

[@Rulle2000]

ab 1 minute und 20 sekunden wirds gut

[@robertshadbolt3056]

Still not sure how you orphan children and widow a wife at the same time? Unless the wife isnt the mother of the children. Which opens up the question "what happened to those poor kids Mum? "Havent they gone through enough at sich a young age

[@herrgris7654]

Johnny Cash remade it with a feeling that sting can´t deliver!

[@luke5858]

Dude i commented on this video 2 months ago i think your a bit late to insult me LOL

[@norm4907]

It’s not your song anymore. Respect.

[@jimkemp2099]

Johnny who?

[@milkcan42]

who disliked this? why

[@SteveCampbell-kp5up]

Johnny Cash blew it out the water

[@fullmetalknight3974]

Sting sucks you say??? Mhmmm yeah you gotta be right, that perfectly explains why a multi-million dollar orchrestra would agree to not only play his songs but accompany him on stage as well.....
