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!
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.
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.
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.
Enough already, both versions are gorgeous. I just love this version - beautifully orchestrated and lovely time sig - an English version of a cowboy song.
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.
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.
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(!)(!)
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..
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
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.....
The song has peaked. This is the best version. Gorgeous arrangement and performance
Springsteen's version at The Beacon Theatre is shit hot crazy good.
Ten koncert to mistrzostwo świata, najlepszy koncert Stinga.❤
@@Eeza07Springsteen Kennedy Center is this song at the PEAK of its POWERS!
Bruce Springsteen does an authentic live cover at the Kennedy Center Awards honoring Sting!!
whoever arranged this for the orchestra is an absolute genius
Stunning. Sting is a genius.
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.
This is one of the greatest performances of a masterpiece by a true master at the top of his form.
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!
I see a few drummers and percussion musicians. Such a moving piece
I saw this masterpiece and I held my head high.
nah..sting put this song to another level. still respected his nine rythm and sang it relaxed. Sting wins!!
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.
Good thing Cash covered this song for him.
So fantastic
i really love the beautiful 9/8 rythm
Stunning.
god bless sting
I don't know which version I like more. This is fantastic!
Hahaha Damn you sting! A country song in 9/8. Brilliant!
More like 9/4
Sting is a Master/Maestro.. Has been since 1983.

A fine song and sung as a tribute by Bruce Springsteen during Sting's Kennedy Center Honors.
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.
Wooh... Woooohh... It's just best version i ever heard
My favorite Sting song Second Only to Every Move You Make!!!
Crazy, cus that's not even the name of the song!
Sweet sounding Maton!!! Great song!
Perfect performance
Enough already, both versions are gorgeous. I just love this version - beautifully orchestrated and lovely time sig - an English version of a cowboy song.
The cash version is so much better it's hard to believe. And I speak as a huge sting fan.
Agreed. But with one exception. Imho Sting sings these lines 2:25 4:40 way better than JR.
***** Why can't someone have an opinion without you making it something gay.
***** LOL. You really suck at insulting people.
*****
xD
wutefuck this is hillarious
Bible Believer
funny your tounge is stripped gues you have no right to speak as a bible fan lol

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.
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.

Sting's career....Close to 50 years and counting...
4:55 just blows my mind! Thanks Sting!
This is a good song. No matter who plays it.
Still working on playing it in 9/8 time on the drums. A very unusual song!
The lyrics are epic.
Sting t'es un amour
That was Outrageously beautiful
Love Sting & J.C.! 🔥
fantastic...sting...
Beautiful
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(!)(!)
My song !!! Just luvit !!! 💜💜💜
anybody else really enjoy watching the conductor at 4:54? :p
yes- very beautiful.
Just awesome.
Springsteen it s truly a gunsmoke song from the far west
a whole orchestra on 9/8 time. Tricky.
We saw him in MPLS MN. Great performance.
I don't know who the female support singer is, but she is stunningly beautiful.
Her name is Jo Lawry.
um dos melhores músicos...indescritível ...
superb
I wish so bad I'd been at this concert..!
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.
spine tingling
Orchesta, fabolous idea
sentimento puro...
oh man, that harmonica.... goosebumps...
well more like entire song = goosebumps but anyway
The percussionist at 5:03
Masterpiece
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..
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.
True
+MartinBlanford Watch springsteens version!!! You'll forget this one..
Carson Mckee has a great version.
I agree!
Love it!!
Sting....como lo hace, es sencillamente comparado con algo celestial.
R.I.P. Johnny Cash
Way much much better that song dont need all those instruments it takes away the entire song!!
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
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.
I like Cash's version, you can feel the feelings by his singing
Shout out to John Travolta losing it drumming at 5:04
Esto aquí con mi cena por desgracia debo de hacer lo que me diga mí oncóloga.paco de ci❤
Sting wrote this. If you listen to Sting, he says so
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

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?"

Apart from this, I love this song.
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
Beautiful song. Did anyone else feel like the irchestra overpowered Sting's voice at times?
Kiss had an orchestra as well.
I like Johnny's version more... But this one is AMAZING...
No shit I thought cash wrote this. Well it's a great song played both ways
You tell him Dio!
Johnny Cash's Cover is the best;)
Johnny Cash made this song great.
ab 1 minute und 20 sekunden wirds gut
That's it. I think J.Cash version rocks.
Does anyone know what kind of mic he uses?
Johnny Cash remade it with a feeling that sting can´t deliver!
No, I think Bruce Springsteen did a super job at this song. Sorry Sting but Bruce nailed it! Much love the canuck
*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*
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?
who's the blonde woman?
Johnny Cash blew it out the water
I admire-sting for writing this great song but give me the johnny cash version less is more
remade it? lol im pretty sure its Johnny Cash's song
who disliked this?
why
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?
The orchestra does nothing for this great song
Johnny who?
I agree, but there is just one problem, it was a cover.. sting wrote this. great song . either way
August
at least he is a good song writer...
He is the fucking songwriter.
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.....
The guitarrist just look-alike Speed 2's bad guy... Willem Dafoe... kkkkkkk
