Ойын-сауық
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder performs "My City of Ruins" for 2009 Honoree Bruce Springsteen, who wrote the song in 2000. In 2010, pearljam.com announced that Eddie Vedder's cover of "My City of Ruins" would be available on iTunes to raise funds for Haiti earthquake disaster relief efforts. The song entered the Hot 100 the following month, peaking at #92.
The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.

I swear Vedder can cover ANY song
Eddie's voice is one of a kind. You recognize him within 1 second when they play a Pearl Jam song on the radio.

As someone who grew up on Pearl Jam I was very surprised how similar White Buffalo's voice is.
His voice is timeless, he actually isn’t recognised enough for how great he is.
Eddie feels Bruce. It's the same as Heart doing Zepplin. Absolute geniuses paying tribute to their idols.
Gives me chills to the bone watching two legends like these starring at each other with such tender hearts and respect.

Dare I say, this one seemed to mean a lot to Bruce. Just a man, a guitar, and his song.
Glad Eddie is still with us. His voice is a blessing to me. With Kurt, Layne, Scott and Chris gone, Eddie's voice gives me some hope. Chris' death, personally, was devastating.

Something Eddie is not for.
Bruce Springsteen. One of the most Prolific Poet/ Artist of our life time.
I never was a Pearl Jam fan back in the day, but this is fantastic. I should go back and relisten.
Eddie sounds so powerful , and why not singing boss's sing ain't easy. And I'm so happy for Eddie that he has come to this level . Thumbs up for both ,to boss and to the Eddie.
That was absolutely Beautiful !!! A Guitar , Eddie's haunting voice , The Boss's poignant lyrics , and a Beautiful Choir . This is a Masterpiece stripped down to Absolute PERFECTION !!! This song would be relevant to many a time in history , but damn if it ain't one of those times right now !!! Come On Rise Up!!!! Come On Rise Up !!!! I Pray For The Strength Lord !!!!!

@@bradleypettett4948 xmascleanlove has the full song but the video is just pictures . This is from the Kennedy Center Honors Bruce Springsteen in 2009 and they only did cuts of songs for T.V . I love this version though , because you can see the depth Eddie sings with , and the emotion that Bruce receives the honor of him performing this Masterpiece he wrote when his hometown of Asbury Park New Jersey was literally in ruins . The pain of the lyrics showing on Bruce's face are Priceless . It was like he could see the actual city he wrote about all over again ☮️
I wish I had Eddie's voice, looks and songwriting ability. That would be enough!
I cried because the song is beautiful, Vedder was a big part of my teen years and he sounded amazing, and we had a real president.
I'm impressed with Eddie !!! He sings any song beautifully. He's the best ever ❤❤
Great version from a great voice. Bruce looked impressed!
Insanely good artist , everlasting spirit of humanity. One is Eddie Vedder 🌍
Eddie’s voice! Incredible - love this song and performance - could literally watch it every day. Particularly now in COVID 19. Such a call for hope and grit.
I can't believe that song can improve...instead eddie did it! Absolutely great!
Eddie's voice makes me cry
Probably my personal selection for Song of the Year in 2020. Lyrics and meaning translate to many cities in ruin now. I pray Lord. Pray for the love, Lord. Come on, rise up.
Beautiful performance.
legends, beautiful souls and human beings. I am blessed to have grown up with both artists, who changed my life - nothing but love
I don’t know who this Eddie guy is who seems to pop up in all of these performances at the Kennedy Center, but if he plays his cards right he may have a career as a vocalist/performer one day.

as the song says...music is the doctor
The only thing that is wrong with this version is that its too short.
This song continues to resonate. In these days our heart are with those in Ukraine and their cities of ruins.
Ich liebe Euch.
That's kind of how I'm feeling about the PNW. I love his voice on this song

Bruce was singing about New York after the attacks on the towers and the fire fighters having to go into those buildings trying to help anyone they could - he was crossing the bridge as it was happening- His city was in ruins 😔
So, two things. First, I absolutely love this. Second, it's not the complete version Eddie sang on stage that night. There's an audio recording of this that Eddie released for charity, and the song is about 30 to 45 seconds longer. Whatever TV station broadcast this cut out parts of his performance to save time for ... what? Another commercial? Oh, wait, sorry. It's all about money. I forgot.

Do you mean the performed song was cut short in the actual original television broadcast of this event, or this particular youtube clip here is shortened from what was first broadcast? because if it's the second scenario, I highly doubt that's somehow much of a financial decision. Although there also are a number of different possible reasons for the editing down of an individual performance for a finished broadcast piece aside from simply wanting to cram in more ad space. It could very well be that, the money, they also could've had some manner of camera equipment glitch during the song leaving them unable to maintain clean visuals the whole way. You still get Eddie releasing clean full audio, but video's fucked. Plus a producer has a whole slew of talented acts all wanting to fit into the same broadcast, even if you're keeping the same original commercial time, you just do little nips and splices wherever you can to make it as fair to everyone as possible. Granted, I have no idea if any other performer's times from the night got cut for broadcast in addition to Eddie. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

Watch Patti's eyes.
This song hits a little harder watching the horrific direction in which our country is heading!

Is there any song Vedder can’t sing
That was one of the most abbreviated versions of any song I've ever heard. It's about 2 1/2 minutes too short.
it was too damn hard... You just miss the screaming: "with these hands"...
